Grob Announces Aerospace Technology Event

Grob Systems Inc. will host an Aerospace Technology Day together with industry partners Concepts NREC, Emuge-Franken USA, Open Mind Technologies, Seco and Third Wave Systems at Grob’s North America headquarters and production facility in Bluffton, Ohio on November 19th, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The event will feature live machining demonstrations on the high precision GROB G350 5-Axis Universal Machining Center featuring aerospace applications such as a blisk and an aluminum structural part. An airfoil application will also be shown on a tandem drive machine which is designed for long thin parts, providing excellent stability by holding parts on both ends. Concepts NREC’s Max-Pac CAM software will provide advanced programming strategies for turbomachinery applications. Emuge-Franken USA will demonstrate its Circle Segment milling tools with programming from Open Mind Technologies HyperMill CAM software for the manufacture of aerospace structural components. Seco will utilize and demonstrate a range of high-performance end mills designed for cutting tough materials and complex parts. Third Wave Systems will participate in the event by analyzing tool paths via its machining modeling solution. In addition, a live interactive “Technical Talk” will be held where attendees can discuss specialized aerospace application manufacturing challenges with engineers and product specialists.

A tour will also be offered of Grob’s 400,000-square-foot facility, which features the vertically integrated manufacturing of machining centers and automation. The event is complimentary and manufacturing professionals are encouraged to attend. For more details and to register, visit the Aerospace Technology Day website.
