Setup & Fixturing
Work holding designed in Anvil within 2 days; blank clamped & dial-levelled in twin hydraulic vices with high-speed machining.
A flight-critical top-chamber structural clamp, machined to a 10–15 micron tolerance, supplied at volume within days of engagement, inspected First / Middle / Last from day one.
An aerospace OEM supplier of flight-critical structural hardware faced a high-volume delivery commitment and engaged NEMI AI to protect schedule without compromising quality. The component is a top-chamber structural clamp machined to a 10–15 micron tolerance for a critical mounting point.
The customer needed a precision partner who could plug in fast and deliver at volume.
Hold a 10–15 micron tolerance on a flight-critical clamp, first time, every time.
Stand up supply in days, not weeks, to protect the delivery timeline.
Sustain ~15 jobs per day to keep up with the delivery commitment.
First / Middle / Last inspection, traceable to the work instruction.
Work holding designed in Anvil within 2 days; blank clamped & dial-levelled in twin hydraulic vices with high-speed machining.
LMM-optimized 2-operation toolpaths on the Haas VF2, high-speed milling of the clamp profile.
First / Middle / Last inspection on every batch; LMM-driven CMM-based SPC capture implemented.

We brought NEMI in to support capacity on a flight-critical clamp, and what stood out was the throughput economics. They took a part that ran seven hours per job down to three, more than doubling our effective output, without ever giving up the 10–15 micron tolerance the mounting point demands. They were inspecting First, Middle and Last from day one and ramped to steady volume in days, not even weeks. It let us protect a high-volume commitment without compromising quality.
