Dynamic Waterjets
Waterjet

(1) Flow 72" x 144" 94K Dynamic Waterjet * NEW *
(1) Flow 48" x 96" 94K Dynamic Waterjet
(2) Flow 48" x 48" Dynamic Waterjets

Dynamic Waterjets produce faster and more accurate parts with no heat affected zones. Flow's Waterjet SmartStream™ technology automatically tilts the Waterjet's head to eliminate taper and stream lag allowing the Waterjet to produce parts with a higher cut quality. The Dynamic Waterjet can often eliminate secondary processing saving valuable time and money.

CNC Mills
(1) Kitamura 18" x 32" Vertical CNC Mill
(1) Fadal 20" x 40" Vertical CNC Mill
(1) Fadal 30" x 60" Vertical CNC Mill
(4) Bridgeport Mills with 2-Axis CNC

The Vertical CNC Mill moves the main spindle along the z-axis providing extra freedom and capabilities. They significantly improve milling precision and accuracy without affecting milling speed. The additional (2) axes on the Bridgeport CNC Mill allows us to achieve extremely complicated geometries.

CNC Press Brake
CNC Brake Press
(1) Primeline 175 Ton 10' CNC Press Brake * NEW *

Primeline's CNC Press Brake bends and shapes metal while keeping deflection at the lowest possible level. While fabricating, the Servo valves and linear scales keep specifications within +/- 0.0004" for accurate repeatability. The swiveling CNC Controller allows the operator to precisely adjust the position of the ram and gauge axes.

Grinders & Sanders
(1) 6" x 12" Hard Surface Grinder
(1) 6" x 36" Belt Sander

The Hard Surface and Belt Sander aid in finishing material. We can grind steel and aluminum safely in our polishing booth.

Inspection

(1) Xcel 765 DC-CMM * NEW *
(1) Deltronic Optical Comparator with Digital Readout
(1) Trimos Digital Height Gage
(1) Romer Infinite 2.0 Portable CMM with "in Field" Verification * NEW *

Our goal is to provide accurate and precise products that match the exact specifications. All finished parts are held to MIL-I-45208A quality guidelines.

The Optical Comparator digitally compares (3) points on the workpiece. The Digital Height Gage measures height, diameter and centerline measurements. Lastly, the Romer is a portable probing arm with infinite rotation of the principle (7) axes allowing us to inspect difficult-to-reach areas. The Romer is associated with PCDemis inspection software.

Composites

"A 'composite' is formed when two or more different materials are combined together to create a superior and unique material."

Composites were first used in the 1500s B.C. when straw and mud were combined to make durable buildings. Many years later, nautral resins were used to create bows for the military. Once plastics were developed, scientists learned that synthetic resins outperformed those derived from nature. Materials such as fiber glass, carbon fiber, Kevlar and honeycomb were later added to strengthen the resins for use in structural applications.

The military has been the driving factor in the advancement of composites over the years. Today, composites are used in almost every industry including aerospace, automotive, marine, manufacturing, computerized electronics (ie. circuit boards etc.) and a host of other industries.

Our new composite department is capable of fabricating complex as well as simple FRPs (Fiber Reinforced Products) from a large selection of composite materials.

- (1) Despatch Oven; 650º Max Temperature w/ Central Air

MIG & TIG Welding
In addition to machining and fabircating parts, we can assemble parts with MIG or TIG welding.

MIG (metal inert gas) welding was originally developed for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. It can also be used for steels that require a lower welding time. Today it is the most common industrial welding process due to its versatility and speed.

TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding is an arc welding process that uses a tungsten electrode to produce the weld. TIG welding is used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium and copper alloys. Although TIG welding is a slower process, it gives the operator more control and stronger, higher quality welds.

Polishing

Our Filter 1 Hydrotron Control Booth allows us to safely polish booth aluminum and stainless steel.

The unit integrates the booth enclosure, wet dust collection and spark removal, providing a safe and economic method of cleaning and polishing. The 9' x 12' booth allows us to handle oversized material as well as smaller products.
