FMI Monolithic Design & Build Project

Wingtip Assembly

■ FMI was responsible as the primary design and build company

■ FMI‘s machining concept was to utilize our single spindle BO-KO 6 axis with a nutating head, along with a 45 degree tool

■ There are 3 set ups for the Monolithic frame design to complete machining, opposed to 60 multiple part set ups for machined and sheet metal details in the original design configuration

■ The FMI Monolithic Design reduced the manufacturing lead time by 4 weeks, approximately a 65% lead-time reduction

Wingtip Assembly – FMI Monolithic Machining

■ There are 2 design configurations, one with a logo light and one without

■ The FMI Monolithic Design reduced the assembly from 60 machined and sheet metal details to 9 machined components

■ Original Assembly time was reduced by 83% from 350 hrs to 60 hrs

Monolithic Assembly Process

■ Catia Version 5 Rev. 22

■ Catia Version 4.2.4

■ Unigraphics NX 7

■ NCL

■ Mastercam X series

■ ICAM Cam-post Version 18

■ Vericut Version 7.1.5
