Aerospace Manufacturing Specialist Expands Capabilities
TTL Solutions, a specialist in adaptive machining and digital manufacturing, has invested in a Starrag Heckert X50 5-axis horizontal mill/turn machining centre for high-value aerospace engine work. The machine, which will be delivered in December, offers improved dynamic capability and precision, and will enable TTL to develop and validate processes end to end, from the CAM environment through to the control that will run it on the customer’s shopfloor. This investment is a significant step for TTL, which has built its reputation on software solutions, and may signal a shift towards more capable machines.
