CADCAM Linked to the Shop Floor

Abstract

ON the shop floor at Dowty Fuel Systems' Cheltenham factory, multi‐axis CNC (computer numerically controlled) machine tools produce the main bodies of the digital engine control system for Pratt & Whitney's PW305 engine. These advanced machines are now controlled directly from the Matra Datavision EUCLID‐IS CADCAM system, following a major advance towards computer integrated manufacture.
