Our turnkey applications is the section that makes NCS unique when it comes to retrofitting. We have engineered more than just a few turnkey applications for our customers.  Here are a couple that come mind.

Vane Tip Grinding with In-Process Gauging - This system was developed for a customer who rebuilds jet engines. The system was installed on a BULLARD 56" twin ram VTL with a GE FANUC 15TT-B open architecture CNC control and a SONY Precision DP25 roller tip Gauge. The process begins by slowly advancing the gauge towards the  vanes as it rotates at about 5 RPM. After registering a hit on the longest vane in the case that data is transferred to the CNC to establish a starting point for the rough grind cycle . After the rough grind another gauging cycle is run to establish an offset value for the grinding wheel. The CNC updates the offsets then the finish grind cycle can start. After the finish grind cycle the CNC then measures one last time to obtain a print out of each and every vane size. The interface between the CNC and the gauging cycle is a industrial grade PC running an off the shelf fast digital input board. The software was written in C++ using GE Fanuc's drivers and libraries for their Open Architecture Control System.

The customer prohibits the taking any pictures of their equipment but referrals are available upon request.

Touch Probes - A full featured probe system software available upon request for any customer requiring probing including;

 Family of  Parts Programming - Nothing unique about this item. Often times customers have a family of parts, with similar dimensions, they do not want to program each and every one, so we provide them with one custom macro program with a menu so the operator can fill in the blanks with part dimensions and press cycle start to produce the finished product.
