Reputable, Veteran owned
business since 1986.
Machines
designed, built and/or retrofitted include CNC:
waterjets, plasma tables
(burn tables), winding machines, milling machines,
boring machines,
lathes &VTL's,
lasers,
specialty
production
welders,
specialty multi-head
routers,
routers for plastics and wood, engravers,
grinders, and
other special purpose machines including the largest to date, a
65,000 lb machine
used for
synthetic, industrial,
diamond
insert testing, turning a 6,000 lb block of granite. It is based on a
rebuilt
and retrofitted, post WWII (late 40's model), Cincinnati Hypro VTL. The
X axis
was mechanically retrofitted using a surplus, Boeing 747, landing gear
ballscrew. A Fagor 8025 lathe control was used in conjunction with
oversized
Baldor AC servo drives and motors. The machine leads the industry in
synthetic
diamond testing. Another specialty
machine
loads
hollow balls for mass producing Hydrogen fuel cell pellets. It is a
fully
automated, 3-axis (2 linear, 1 rotary) CNC. It loads hollow balls (sort
of like
heavy ping pong balls), one at a time, on to a 60 position rotary
platen,
drills a small hole in the top and Injects molten Sodium. The
balls
cool as the rotary platen indexes them, 6 degrees at a time, around to
the
glue station where they are sealed by a 2 axis, CNC, hot glue station.
The
machine then ejects the finished Hydrogen ball into a box, completing
the
process. It is controlled by a PC based control in conjunction with a
PLC
(Programmable Logic Controller). Yet another special purpose machine is
a
4-axis
bullet slug grooving saw.
It has 5 precision spindles, 4 axes and 3
independent control programs, written in 3 different languages that all talk
to each other to insure proper timing of the movement of the gang of cutting
saws, the 10 actuating air valves and their 10 associated air cylinders that
load the bullet slugs into cutting position as well as the precision
spindles that pinch the bullet slugs then rotate them as they are cut
radially. The whole sequence takes 2 seconds per part and requires no human
interaction. The video of the machine in operation can be seen on the machines
page of this site.
Other machines produced are used for mold making, making
earth drilling bits, splitting earth drilling tubes, making aerospace
parts, automotive parts, medical parts, designer picture mats, carbon
filament winding machines, and a myriad
of other parts, products and applications. |
