Case Study: Flying success with Dunlop Aerospace Braking Systems

From Renishaw
 

 
Dunlop Aerospace Braking Systems, a part of Meggitt plc, is a global organisation that designs, develops and manufactures wheels and brakes for commercial and military aircraft applications. Aircraft production in the UK has experienced steady growth and to meet this demand the hub and flange cell at Dunlop Aerospace purchased 3 key CNC machines between 1998 and 2000, at that time actively specifying Renishaw probe systems. This has increased process consistency and has also had a marked effect on the manufacturing time.
Products & Services
Optical and light microscopes use the visible or near-visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to magnify images of objects. Search by Specification | Learn more about Optical and Light Microscopes
Specialty microscopes are designed for specific applications such as metallurgy or gemology. They use specialized techniques or technologies such as acoustics to produce magnification. Search by Specification | Learn more about Specialty Microscopes
Electron microscopes use a focused beam of electrons instead of light to "image" the specimen and gain information as to its structure and composition. Search by Specification | Learn more about Electron Microscopes
Metallurgical microscopes are used for metallurgical inspection including metals, ceramics, and other materials. Search by Specification | Learn more about Metallurgical Microscopes
Measuring microscopes are used by toolmakers for measuring the properties of tools.  These microscopes are often used for dimensional measurement with lower magnifying powers to allow for brighter, sharper images combined with a wide field of view.
