1B001 f. (continued)
2. Numerically controlled ultrasonic testing machines of which
the motions for positioning transmitters or receivers are
simultaneously coordinated and programmed in four or
more axes to follow the three dimensional contours of the
component under inspection;
g. Tow-placement machines, of which the motions for positioning
and laying tows or sheets are coordinated and programmed in
two or more ‘primary servo positioning’ axes, specially
designed for the manufacture of ‘composite’ airframe or
‘missile’ structures.
Technical Note:
For the purpose of 1B001, ‘primary servo positioning’ axes
control, under computer program direction, the position of the
end effector (i.e. head) in space relative to the work piece at
the correct orientation and direction to achieve the desired
process.
1B002 Equipment for producing metal alloys, metal alloy powder or
alloyed materials, specially designed to avoid contamination and
specially designed for use in one of the processes specified in
1C002.c.2.
NB: SEE ALSO 1B102.
1B003 Tools, dies, moulds or fixtures, for ‘superplastic forming’ or ‘diffusion
bonding’ titanium, aluminium or their alloys, specially
designed for the manufacture of any of the following:
a. Airframe or aerospace structures;
b. ‘Aircraft’ or aerospace engines; or
c. Specially designed components for structures specified in
1B003.a. or for engines specified in 1B003.b.
1B101 Equipment, other than that specified in 1B001, for the ‘production’
of structural composites as follows; and specially
designed components and accessories therefor:
NB: SEE ALSO 1B201.
Note: Components and accessories specified in 1B101 include
moulds, mandrels, dies, fixtures and tooling for the
preform pressing, curing, casting, sintering or bonding of
composite structures, laminates and manufactures thereof.
a. Filament winding machines or fibre placement machines, of
which the motions for positioning, wrapping and winding
fibres can be coordinated and programmed in three or more
axes, designed to fabricate composite structures or laminates
from fibrous or filamentary materials, and coordinating and
programming controls;
b. Tape-laying machines of which the motions for positioning and
laying tape and sheets can be coordinated and programmed in
two or more axes, designed for the manufacture of composite
airframe and ‘missile’ structures;
