Unsupported thin walls deflect under cutting loads, causing chatter and dimensional inaccuracy. Our approach implements high-density, modular support with points spaced ≤80mm. This precision CNC machining fixture provides uniform backing, increasing rigid effectiveness to allow stable, full-depth cuts that meet tight contour tolerances on large, delicate components.
Low-Stress Clamping for Composites & Sensitive Alloys
Over-clamping crushes composite lay-ups and causes part distortion. Sensitive materials like aerospace grade aluminum also have to be handled carefully to reduce residual stresses caused by over-clamping. We can make custom pressure distributing clamps and have the ability to regulate clamping pressure to 0.3 MPa or lower to prevent damage. Our specialized part fixturing capabilities are used to secure parts during cutting without over clamping and causing damage to the piece.
Modular System for Rapid Configuration & Repeatability
Special tooling fixtures often require extensive lead time. Our custom modular aerospace tooling design capabilities help us quickly setup parts for machining without the need for custom tooling. With our modular setup we are able to get a fixture setup for a new part for complex CNC machining within 8 hours and maintain position tolerances of ±0.005mm from batch-to-batch and setup-to-setup.

How To Establish A Complete Traceability System For Aerospace Parts?
The full traceability system is a basic quality management in the aerospace industry. Because when it comes to failure analysis and regulation compliance, a full history record is required. The procedure document from LS Manufacturing CNC machining not only realizes basic records, but also forms a digital thread to connect all process parameters with the final part, for root-cause analysis and ensure regulation compliance:
Unique Part Identification & Data Foundation
Core Method: A laser-engraved Data Matrix Code (DMC) is utilized as a Unique Item Identifier (UII) for each part.
Data Capture: The UII ties the part to a digital record that captures 28 critical attributes from material certification to inspection.
Outcome: A part-centered chain of custody that is critical to ensuring the traceability and compliance of high-value part CNC machining.
MES-Driven Process Integration
System Integration: Our MES system integrates directly with our CNC machining centers and inspection assets.
Automated Recording: Automatically records and time stamps machine parameters, tool IDs, operator ID, and measurement results.
Value: This replaces manual records with guaranteed data accuracy and provides a digital signature audit trail of all production activities.
Rapid Fault Isolation & Corrective Action
Analysis Engine: Our engine can associate a defect with a set of process parameters.
Efficiency Metric: It is possible to identify which batch of raw material, machine, and even specific CNC code a non-conformity can be traced back to within 2 hours of detection.
Impact: This means that the source of the problem can be isolated precisely and the corrective action can be implemented to avoid repeat of the problem and impact to production.

This proposal outlines a practical traceability system integrated with data. We believe that this not only satisfies a verifiable quality management process but also serves as an integral component of on-going process improvement and risk management strategy for aerospace CNC manufacturing.

Why Choose LS Manufacturing As Your Aerospace Partner?
When it comes to flight-critical parts, the issue isn’t what your supplier can do. The issue is what your supplier has done. With LS Manufacturing, you get a comprehensive system of quality, testing, and automation that mitigates risk and reduces the need for close monitoring, ensuring a aerospace partnership that you can trust.
Certified Process Framework for Quality Assurance
NADCAP-accredited special processes and an AS9100D quality management system are in place to control the production process. Following procedures and continuous monitoring are required, which ensure the quality of our high-precision CNC machining processes to auditable standards. Our 98.5% first-pass yield proves the results of a controlled process, eliminating internal scrap and rework.
Empirical Database for Informed Process Design
18 years and 236 aerospace projects have led to the creation of a unique knowledge base of material data. This library of machining information lets us pre-vet plans for alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V and Inconel 718, drastically cutting time and uncertainty from project planning. Our manufacturing expertise makes for quicker, surer project starts.
Strategic Investment in Enabling Technology
These are multi-axis CNC machining centers with volumetric accuracy of ±0.005mm, coupled with in-process measurement systems (±0.001mm). We don’t invest in these machines because we need the capacity. We invest in these machines because we need to maintain tolerances down to the micron level, and be able to measure to that level while we’re in the process,in order to machine these types of complex aerospace components.
Integrated Systems for Predictable Execution
Take advantage of our manufacturing expertise, built upon a robust combined MES and quality platform that supports full traceability and anticipatory planning. This attention to detail ensures that every part is shipped on time, and is a key factor in our 99% on-time delivery rate, protecting our customers’ program schedules.
