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;
