Woodward has a somewhat different situation when it
comes to purchasing metal stamped parts. Its applications require the
utmost in precision and finish. Holes have to be perfectly clean, and
there can be no rough edges.
Woodward's quantities are relatively small due to its special
applications in Aerospace.
Aircraft Engine Systems
Innovative system, subsystem and component solutions for aircraft
turbine engine control and combustion
Aircraft Engine Services
World-class product support and services, flexible pricing,
industry-leading turn times and maximum time-on-wing performance
Industrial Engine Systems
Integrated systems and component solutions for industrial gas and diesel
engine management
These applications and more cause Woodward's requirements to be fairly
low quantity and highly specialized. Fortunately, its material
requirements are somewhat similar on different parts, which allows us to
nest parts on a single sheet of material 5' x 10'. Our special software
can put multiples of different shapes on one sheet, keeping the cost to
a minimum.
We combine the sheets using our Turret Punching Machines to pierce clean holes, and
then transfer the sheets to our 3500 Watt Laser to cut out the different
shapes from each sheet of material. |
