How Fine Machine Works delivered a legacy machined bracket to AS9102 First Article requirements, with full material traceability.
Sample structure only. The project, customer type, specifications and results are placeholders; Si supplies the real details and approves whether the customer can be named. Each case study stays at about 400–500 words.
An MRO organization required a replacement structural bracket for an aircraft platform where the original supply was no longer available. The part carried tight positional tolerances between mounting features, and the customer’s quality clauses required First Article Inspection to AS9102 and full material traceability.
Add any timing pressure, e.g. aircraft-on-ground or a scheduled maintenance window.
Drawing revision, customer clauses, and material specification were reviewed and flowed down into production planning.
The bracket was machined on a 5-axis (4+1) machining center, completing critical features in a single setup to limit tolerance stack-up.
First-off parts were verified on the Hexagon 7.10.7 SF CMM and documented in an AS9102 First Article report.
Production was released under revision control with heat/lot traceability and a Certificate of Conformance with each shipment.
Optional customer quote, with approval.
