Integrated machining center for vertical milling, ideal for composite materials, aluminum, light alloys and metals processing. The advanced design of its structures and the result of CMS’s continuous investments in R&D with the sophisticated technological solutions adopted, provide rigidity and precision over time, and exceptional movement dynamics. These features guarantee quality finishing levels, unparalleled accuracy and a high productivity level. - Very large working areas for maximum productivity freedom, wide range of electrospindles, fully designed and manufactured within the SCM Group. - Wide configurability of the working areas (single zone or pendular cycle). - Precision suited to the most demanding applications (aerospace, motor sports, etc.) - CMS Adaptive Technology, function integrated into the control that allows the operator to achieve maximum removal parameters of material on a specific surface by simply calling up the relevant mapping. CMS Adaptive Technology significantly reduces cycle times on complex surfaces without compromising the finishing quality and precisions.

GKN Aerospace is leading a new UK industry consortium called ASCEND (Aerospace and Automotive Supply Chain Enabled Development) to develop and accelerate composite material and process technologies for the next generation of energy efficient aircraft and future mobility. The £40m consortium, funded by a £20.0M commitment from industry and a £19.6M commitment from the UK Government via ATI, will focus on greater adoption of composite technologies today, the industrialization of new technologies, as well as accelerating aerospace production rates to meet future high-volume requirements. The collaboration will help develop technologies from across the UK supply-chain to develop the advanced materials and automation equipment required to manufacture lightweight structures for the sustainable air mobility, aerospace and automotive industry. Assyst Bullmer, Airborne, Cobham Mission Systems Wimborne, Cygnet Texkimp, Des Composites, FAR-UK Ltd, Hexcel Composites, Hive Composites, LMAT, Loop Technology, McLaren Automotive, the National Composites Centre, Rafinex, Sigmatex (UK) and Solvay Composite Materials will join GKN Aerospace in the consortium with collaboration and investment support from Axillium Research. Through a 3-year commitment, the partnership, backed by the UK government, will bring together expertise, capabilities and resources from across the wider UK aerospace and automotive supply chain. In doing so, ASCEND will strengthen the UK’s position as a technology leader in future lightweight structures and help to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the aerospace and automotive industry.

Instron Automated Testing Systems enable a new dimension of testing productivity. These systems were designed as a solution to these common testing challenges including safety, throughput, repetitive tasks/better use of skilled operators, and variability of results. Available as either a complete turnkey solution or fitted to existing Instron testing instruments, both options are tailored to your testing operations and throughput requirements. The unique modular design of the automated testing systems provide the broad control and handling capability needed to fulfill a wide range of applications. Standardized systems are available for the following application areas: rubber tensile and tear, plastics tensile and flex, thin films tensile, metals tensile, and component testing.

The Automation Kit can turn the HandySCAN 3D and MetraSCAN 3D portable 3D scanner families into fully-fledged solutions for automated quality control (AQC) applications. Outfitted with a collaborative robot (cobot) and all related equipment, the actual workstation allows the operator to use the 3D scanners in portable mode as well as in automated mode. A safe solution that is easy to both install and deploy. A true model of interconnectedness, the solution interfaces seamlessly with the VXscan-R digital twin environment and thus becomes an all-in-one, user-friendly system for anyone to use, even workers who are unaccustomed or unfamiliar with the technology. With features such as a smaller footprint, light and compact design, and an affordable total cost of ownership, the Hybrid Solution is part of a noble effort to democratise access to automated solutions and automation as a whole.
