Heamar has put together a specialist MIL-Spec tooling kit for BAE Systems at their £5m Humberside Airport Training Academy.
The kit will be used by apprentices on their Aircraft Maintenance and Support Apprenticeship scheme who are learning how to work at airforce bases around the World.
The Academy is responsible for the delivery of trained personnel into a number of UK and overseas contracts, supporting some of the world's most advanced military fast jets. The apprentices at Humberside will be using the Heamar BAE Training Kit to learn how to work on aircraft electronics on military aircraft such as the Eurofighter and Typhoon.
HTK1003 Specialist Tool Kit
The HTK1003 specialist tool kit supplied by Heamar includes MIL-Spec tooling from Astro Tool Corporation & Daniels Manufacturing Corporation, custom wire stripping tools from IDEAL Industries, Steinel heat guns and nozzles together with items from Heamar's own tooling range.
The requirement for this kit was driven by the need for tool control so tools were not left lying around or improperly stored. Now the tools can be organised in the case with the help of tool control foam.
Students and trainers can quickly see where the tools go and if one is missing. BAE will purchase more of these kits in the future to further support and increase efficiency at the Training Academy.
