Machining & Programming
VISION MT programmers use stp, prt, Autodesk Inventor CAD/CAM, FeatureCAM and other 3D file formats to create and program machines.
Machinists evaluate drawings for necessary tooling and fixturing that will preserve dimensional accuracy based on the geometry of a part and the dimensions, tolerances, and hole patterns instructed by the print.
Parts move from the waterjet and CNC milling machines though bend and a combination of Alodine, prime, paint and silkscreen before heading to final assembly. Engineers and QA conduct in-process inspection throughout and final inspection before parts are sent for aircraft installation. Engineers and QA conduct in-process inspection before parts head to finish for a combination of alodine, prime, paint and silkscreen. Another round of inspection and part marking takes place before the part is sent to Finished Goods.
VISION MT maintains various sizes of sheet metal, extrusion and common hardware enabling us to support customer design changes and rapid turn requests quickly - often to be brought to a waiting aircraft.
