Enhancements to multi-axis aerospace application machining software

NCCS has enhanced its Aerospace Application Library (AAL) for its NCL multi-axis machining software to aid the user in the manufacture of aerospace structural components. Examples include the automated machining of features such as flange tops, recessed pockets, closed angled pockets, and holes. Automated modelling and machining of tooling geometry, such as ‘snap tabs’; counter bores; and locating holes, is also included. This application helps to speed up the programming of such complicated parts thereby, allowing the user to be more productive.
