‘Gold Series’ Equipment to Ensure Quality

By News, Projects

DeltaWing philosophy: Quality product, and safe, clean manufacturing facilities take on equal roles.

 

DeltaWing is a leading manufacturer of tooling and components for a variety of different industries, most notably Aerospace, OEM automotive and motorsport, and more recently defense and SATCom. But what makes DeltaWing Manufacturing stand out when it comes to quality product?

It’s not just our dedication to quality product, we also put an emphasis on maintaining facilities, equipment, and providing an environment which attracts the best staff. This is for several reasons:

  • Our facilities, equipment and staff capabilities are what makes our product. They are the basis of our reputation. To make good product you have to start there.
  • Delivering top quality product is paramount to our success and it’s what we pride ourselves on. We will do everything in our power to ensure client satisfaction.
  • Thirdly: “When you bring a potential customer into your facility, if your facility is clean, organized and orderly, that gives the prospective customer a greater sense of ‘hey, if this is how they look after their own facility and their own equipment, this is how they are going to look after my parts that they are manufacturing’. If you go into a shop that’s dirty and disorderly, well then you get the opposite effect. As mentioned it’s not all for show though, this really is our philosophy. We look after everything and everyone we have.” – Kevin Bialas, VP of Manufacturing.

Further to the installation of the Camfil APC Gold Series GS8 dust collector, exclusively purchased to handle the C.R. Onsrud 5-Axis router installed in January this year (2019), Camfil Air Pollution Control wrote a case study on exactly this.

DeltaWing Manufacturing has been enjoying successful growth over the past year. Composites may be the flagship division but DeltaWing’s Machining team and capabilities, as exposed in Modern Machine Shop recently, has also been undergoing significant development and growth.

Composite Rear Wing for GT Race Car

By Projects

Composite Rear Wing for GT Race Car

Challenge:

Our customer needed to optimize lift and drag coefficients for a better performing wing while maintaining weight and stiffness targets. The resulting shape featured complex geometry on both the external shape as well as the internal ribs and spars. DeltaWing Manufacturing was called upon to design and build the tooling and components as well as assemble the finished product.

Solution:

A 2-piece design was chosen which incorporated the main stiffening spar into the upper wing skin. The design reduced parts count, lowered weight and simplified assembly. With the simplified design, the lower wing skin mold was able to double as the main cradle for the assembly fixture thereby saving on overall tooling costs.

Processes Used:

  • 3D CAD Modeling for Design
  • 5 Axis Machining of Patterns
  • Prepreg Layup of Components
  • Autoclave Curing of Components
  • Adhesive Bonding of Assembly
  • CNC Machining of Wing Mounts
  • CMM Quality Inspection

Result:

The finished assembly met all customer requirements for form, weight, and stiffness. The project was completed on budget and met the customers very tight timeline.

We are proud to design and produce high performance composite assemblies. Our customer was extremely pleased with the outcome and the overall performance.
