Aerospace CNC Machining – Rapid Response Diagnoses & Repair Service
EEC Ltd supply rapid response TNC, CNC & DRO error/fault diagnoses & repair, to critical aerospace CNC machining operations throughout the south of England.
Operating within highly regulated markets, aerospace CNC machining companies operate manufacturing services to ultra-high quality control & often to ‘just-in-time’ supply agreements with their customers. This dictates that, in the case of failures, errors, or faults with CNC, TNC, and DRO equipment, it can have a detrimental effect on just-in-time scheduling and have a persistent knock-on effect with scheduling of the next machining jobs in line. Therefore, EEC Ltd operates a rapid response TNC, CNC, and DRO fault diagnoses and repair service, to complete these mission-critical, urgent machining repair requirements.
Rapid Response Aerospace Machining, Diagnoses and Repair, in Poole.
We recently visited a long-standing aerospace machining customer in Poole, with a number of different Unisign CNC machining models. Engineering Equipment Centre Ltd (EEC Ltd) received an urgent call and made a rapid-response call-out and investigation into misreading errors on the Siemens control unit.
EEC Ltd carried out substantial and immediate work on-site, including repair, refurbishment, and service of a 4 meter Heidenhain LB 382C linear scale, fitted to the X-axis of a Unisign Unipro 5P 5 axis CNC machining centre. The machine is fitted with Heidenhain encoders on all 5 axis and the spindle, coupled up with Siemens drives, motors, and control. HEIDENHAIN are the world-leading manufacturer of linear and rotary encoders.
