Machinery Updates

This Monday brings another new machine into our facility. Our new 2018 Yama Seiki GLS-200 Lathe was delivered this morning, August 20th, 2018.  This machine is replacing our 1993 Mazak Quick Turn 18, which turned 25 this year when it finally wore out.  This new Yama Seiki will be used primarily on our higher run production jobs.  Having another new machine in this area means we will have less down time with breakdowns or machine malfunctions. …

New Shrink Fitting Video Posted

We just posted a new video of shrink fitting parts on our YouTube channel. This was a very interesting process to witness, so we wanted to share with our followers.  This video features Dave and Alex doing the shrink fitting. Shrink fitting is done using thermal expansion. These parts would not go together unless one expands and the other shrinks. First, you’ll see Alex heating the roller up using a torch.
