Specially designed or modified equipment, tools, dies, moulds, fixtures and gauges for the manufacture or inspection of aircraft and aircraft-derived gas turbine engines, as follows, and specially designed components and accessories and "specially designed software" for the equipment, components and accessories—
(a) Equipment, tools, dies, moulds, fixtures and gauges:
(1) For automated production inspection;
(2) For automated welding;
(b) Tools, dies, fixtures and gauges;
(1) For solid-state joining by inertial welding or thermal bonding,
(2) For manufacture and inspection of high-performance gas turbine bearings;
(3) For rolling specially configured rings such as nacelle rings;
(4) For forming and finishing turbine discs;
(c) Compressor or turbine disc broaching machines.
Note:
This sub-item embargoes only broaching machines specially designed for the manufacture of aircraft or aircraft-derived gas turbine engines, and not general purpose broaching machines specially adapted for that purpose.
Gear making or finishing machinery, as follows-
(a) Bevel gear making machinery:
(1) Gear grinding machinery (non-generating type);
(2) Other machinery capable of the production of bevel gears of module finer than 0.5 mm (diametral pitch finer than 48) and meeting a quality standard better than DIN 58405 Class 6,
Technical Note:
If rated in AGMA or Admiralty standards and not rated in DIN 58405, AGMA 11 or Admiralty Class I shall be considered to be the equivalent of DIN 58405 Class 6.
(b) Machinery capable of producing gears in excess of AGMA quality level 13 or equivalent.
Technical Note:
If not rated in AGMA standards, DIN 3963 Class 4 shall be considered equivalent to AGMA quality level 13.
Numerical control units, numerically controlled machine-tools, dimensional inspection machines, direct numerical control systems, specially designed sub-assemblies, and specially designed "software" as follows-
(a) Units for numerically controlling simultaneously coordinated (contouring and continuous path) movements of machine-tools and dimensional inspection machines in two or more axes, except those having all of the following characteristics:
(i) No more than two contouring interpolating (any mathematical function including linear and circular) axes can be simultaneously coordinated. Units may have:
(1) One or more additional axes for which rate of movement is not coordinated, varied or modulated with that of another axis;
(2) One additional set of two contouring axes provided a separate feed rate number/standard or optional, does not control more than any two contouring axes; or
(3) Two contouring axes switchable out of any number of axes;
(i) Minimum programmable increment equal to or greater than 0.001 mm; (ii) Interfaces limited as follows:
(1) No integral interface designed to meet ANSI/IEEE standard 488-1978, IEC publication 625-1; or any equivalent standard; and
(2) No more than two interfaces meeting EIA standard RS-232-C or any equivalent standard;
