1 aerospace Marking and traceability solutions

2 Aerospace market : overview The Aerospace market is composed of 3 distinct industries: The aircraft, the engine and the subcontractors. At the moment, the aerospace market is a duopoly. 2 aircrafts are sharing the market: Boeing and Airbus. chiffres clés Following a decline in orders in 2008 and 2009 aircraft are seeing phenomenal growth in The strong recovery is being driven by the commercial aviation segment as global passengers traffic increased by 8% to 10% year-on-year. $719 billion revenue in % passenger traffic per year Year of records! The Aerospace & Defense industry marked its best year ever in 2013! With $719 billion in revenue, the top 100 A&D does not know the crisis. It is one of the sectors the most booming of the moment. n component subsystem World fleet to double in size over the next 20 years engine & airframe aircraft Marking standard in A&D For many years and in all fields like new technologies, new materials or productivity A&D was pioneer compared to others industries. Once again, the traceability was first uses by this sector. The Direct Part Marking is a process to mark parts with product information including serial numbers, part numbers, date codes, and barcodes. This is done to allow the tracking of parts through the full life cycle. For the Aerospace industry, the main purpose is to improve significantly the security of the passengers n 1- marking parts 2- reading system by a camera

3 Traceability Standard for aerospace sector Marking the parts is the first step for traceability system set up. A good traceability system ensures accurate stock, help in organizing maintenance tasks, help in avoiding errors during the picking for safer and profitable operations. SPEC 2000 code specification is an international standard which provides a way to exchange information quickly and accurately. In the Aircraft Industry, many components will be marked with a 2D Data Matrix by Direct Part Marking (DPM). n edge informations data matrix Laser marking on aeronautic connector n S9100/AS9120 is the International Aerospace Industry Quality Management Standard. It is specifically written by the aerospace industry in a concerted effort to improve quality and assure the integrity of supplies to the industry. The standard is based on the tested and proven foundation of ISO 9001, which it supplements with specific additional requirements necessary to address civil/military aviation and space needs. AS 9100 is applicable to organizations that design and manufacture products for the aerospace industry including parts, components and assemblies Laser marking on aeronautic parts n data matrix dot-peen marking n n PARTS MARKING EXEMPLES Actuator Flanges Turbine blade Landing gear

4 1Engine The engine is one of the strategic parts in an aircraft. In this sector, 4 big companies share the market : GE, Snecma, Rolls Royce and Pratt & Whitney. The engine is composed of thousand assembled pieces. As a safety net, a regular monitoring has to be done for strategic parts. The 2 main concerns for an engine manufacturer are the reliability and the fuel consumption. The traceability and the direct part marking are directly link with the first concern. Indeed, a perfect knowledge of the origin of each part is necessary in case of technical issue.. n OUR CLIENTS references COMPAny plant location MACHINES Rolls Royce Montréal, Canada e6-c151 + winsic Pratt & Whitney Longueuil, Canada e8-c151za + e8-i141 Pratt & Whitney Bridgeport, USA e8-c151za SNECMA Suzhou, China e8-c151za SNECMA Corbeil, France c151za + i51 + i81 SNECMA Le Creusot, France e8-c153zza + i51 SNECMA Queretaro, Mexico e8-c151za + e8p60 General Electric Rutland, USA 8-c153za + e8-c151za General Electric Madisonville, USA e8-c153za

5 2subcontractors The subcontractors manufacture spare parts for aircrafts which will be assemble by the engine or directly by the aircraft manufacturer. The Aerospace industry employed thousands companies of different size. Each of them is subject to many rules and standardization. For the most part aerospace companies are required to meet AS9100, the industry quality management.the aircraft set subcontractors high standards. The companies need to prove the quality of each of their products. The traceability standard is not just for big companies with a high production. All the subcontractors whatever it size need to mark the produced parts. n OUR CLIENTS references COMPAny plant location MACHINES UTC Aerospace Foley, USA ec9 UTC Aerospace Saint Marcel, France e8-c153 + ec9 + D-axis Goodrich Oakville, USA e8-i141 Goodrich Mexicali, Mexico ec9 Honeywell Chihuahua, Mexico e8-c151za Honeywell Shanghai, China Laser i103lg Bombardier Aerospace Dorval, Canada e8-c151za Héroux Devtek Longueuil, Canada e6-c151za + p60 Eaton Coignieres, France Laser L-Box + e8-c153 + D-axis GKN Aerospace La Pacaudiere, France e6-c151 Turbomeca Monroe, USA e8-i141a + c153 + readers APN Quebec, Canada Laser L100SH

6 Our products for aerospace industries SIC Marking has designed and manufactured products to the highest and most current standards of quality. SIC marking operates with procedures defined in quality management system, approved to ISO 9001:2008 n n LASER INTEGRATED HEADS The fiber laser technology -Ytterbium pulsed-is a cutting edge solution for marking: high performance, robust, easy to set up, without maintenance cost. Our integrated laser systems are designed for intensive use in stand-alone mode -without PC-. They can be integrated on production lines or used as stand-alone marking station. Marking high definition datamatrix Marking on all types of materials Fast and high quality marking Designed for intensive use in stand-alone mode n Column range In the range of stand-alone marking stations, those column mounted units are perfect for any type of material from plastic to hardened steel up to 62 Hrc. With their extreme accuracy, speed and robustness, the column-mounted machines are perfect for all types of dot peen marking. AUTOSENSING SYSTEM for automatic surface detection Ideal for Datamatrix codes Automatic tuning of the stylus/part distance n INTEGRATED range Our integrated marking systems are designed to be easily integrated on automated lines and allow heavy use. Accurate drive mechanism Aerospace standards AUTOSENSING SYSTEM for automatic surface detection Guarantee for marking high quality Data-Matrix What is Autosensing function : Associated with the digital Z third axis, the integrated sensor, also known as «autosensing», ensures a pre-determined distance between the stylus and part. The autosensing feature enables automatic adjustment to different part heights. We equipped our column c153 z-z and integrated i83a with this technology.
