201 (NC): How to Migrate CATIA V4 NC Mill Sets into CATIA V5

Cameron McElhinny, Cessna Aircraft Company This session will guide the user through the Dassault process for migrating a CATIA V4 NC Set into a CATIA V5 CATProcess, including tips on avoiding common errors and accelerating the process. Automation scripts will also be demonstrated that enhance the process.

202 (NC): NC Programming Quality and Best Practices

Jim Barkelew, Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Co. Fort Worth CATIA Manufacturing offers a wide range of options and methods for creating tool path. Users will find methods that work for them in their environment. What is the "best" way?  What makes a quality tool path?  There may not be an answer but this session will provide one opinion that will hopefully draw out more opinions and discussions from the audience. The result should be new ideas and concepts to take back home and apply in your environment.

203 (MAN): Deployment Challenges from the Boeing 787 DELMIA Implementation

Tim Hoffman, Boeing The large scale of the Boeing 787 DELMIA implementation revealed many areas requiring special planning and oversight from the IT team. Supporting domestic and foreign suppliers on our DELMIA installation, presented architectural and security challenges. Focused attention was required as DELMIA evolved from the initial plan authoring role, to serve as a data repository for the factory floor, and finally to a tool for long-term airplane support. Performance and scalability, for large volumes of parts on the user workstation, and for increasing numbers of users accessing the server needed to be addressed. The complexity of the implementation created high demands for DELMIA customization. This presentation will discuss the lessons learned in each of these areas for a large-scale DELMIA implementation.

205 (NC): NC Processing Integration With 3rd Party Applications

Mike Sawatzky, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Integration of CATIA V5, post processors, tooling databases, data management systems, and verification systems is critcal to providing the NC programmers an efficient and less error prone method for processing their NC jobs. The method used at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth is one solution that provides users an intergrated system of COTS products and in-house developed systems that is consistent and easy to use.

206 (MAN): NestNesting and Laser Projection Applications in a CATIA V5 Environment

Michael Spellman, Magestic Systems Inc. This presentation will demonstrate through the use of actual case studies how nesting and laser projection tecnologies have been implemented in a CATIA V5 environment. The focus will be on the Strategic Planning, Design and Implementation of Composite, Sheet Metal, Floor Board and Core cutting applications, as well as some less traditional applications such as Paint Templating/Masking and Quality Control.

207 (MAN): Component Polishing Implementation with Robotics

Helmut Ziewers, CENIT America This session will explore an end-user application for Robotics based polishing of aircraft components. The solution is built on V5 Manufacturing and complemented with CENIT’s FASTSURF/cPost Builder. In this presentation, we will identify project requirements, approach, contribution of each component, and results.

208 (INS): Metrologic V5, The PLM Integrated Measurement Solution

Michael Montgomery, The Boeing Company The presentation will cover the history and development path to success between The Boeing Company, Dassault, DELMIA annd Metrologic in producing a full Dassault PLM integrated measurement solution. I will also present how Boeing has integrated Metrologic V5 into the 787 manufacturing process and detail specific product functionalities contained in the Metrologic product.

209 (NC): Continuing Developments in Composite Fiber Placement Programming & Simulation

Bill Hasenjaeger, CGTech Following from last year's presentation this session will demonstrate updates and examples for CNC programming and simulation of automated fiber placement machinery. The presentation will also discuss new machine concepts and the software tools designed to address increased production demands.

210 (NC): Manufacturing Roundtable

Tim Enns, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation The implementation or upgrading of manufacturing planning / programming systems is a challenge to many companies. This panel discussion draws on the experience from COE member companies. The session proposes a set of implementation topics to these specialists. We then move to fielding your questions to this panel. As such, the session provides the attendee with direct access to an incredible amount of peer experience. The panel shares the approach, practice and results from their projects. This is the place to ask the tough questions that your business is currently facing. This roundtable is particularly useful to all users and project managers tasked with making a successful manufacturing implementation or upgrading in their production systems.
