Precision in Focus: Navigating Pallet Positioning Challenges in Aerospace ManufacturingAbstractBackground: Machining centers, such as the Makino MAG3 EX, are essential in aerospacemanufacturing. Precision is at the very core of Aerospace. However, these machinesoften face challenges in meeting stringent flatness constraints due to thermal expansion,tool wear, and setup errors. Failure to address these can lead to deviations that affectcomponent quality and operational safety. Purpose/Hypothesis: This study aims to investigate the causes of flatness inconsistencies on the loadingplatforms of the Makino MAG3 EX and evaluate improvements to reduce thesedeviations. The hypothesis: better
