In-House Manufacturing: From Start to Finish
Extensive manufacturing capabilities allow the Ä¢¹½tv³ÉÄê°æ manufacturing process to be done nearly entirely in-house. To illustrate, in the example below, Ä¢¹½tv³ÉÄê°æ completes nearly all the manufacturing steps without the need to outsource:
- Design – Ä¢¹½tv³ÉÄê°æ’s engineers work closely with the customer through multiple revisions until they achieve the optimal design.
- Component machining – Ä¢¹½tv³ÉÄê°æ’s machine shop precision machines the component parts such as tops, middles, and bottom plates.
- CMM Inspection – if necessary and after machining, the quality assurance department thoroughly inspects the components on CMM machines for conformance.
- Cleaning & assembly – technicians clean and assemble the components to prepare for vacuum brazing or diffusion bonding.
- Vacuum brazing or diffusion bonding – technicians load the assembly into a vacuum furnace or diffusion bonder and run the assembly at a specific temperature as well as force profile.
- Leak Testing – after brazing or bonding, technicians perform leak checking to verify a perfect join.
- Heat Treating – after leak checking, the assembly goes to heat treating in-house or sent outside if it requires certain specifications.
- Final Machining – after heat treating, the machine shop machines the assembly into its final shape.
- CMM Inspection – if necessary and after machining, the quality assurance department thoroughly inspects the assembly on CMM machines for conformance.
- Coating and/or Plating – coating and/or plating is done outside of Ä¢¹½tv³ÉÄê°æ and the final part is sent to a reliable coating supplier to perform services such as chemical film coating or gold plating.
- Final Assembly – technicians install the final components such as heli-coils into the final part.
- Final Testing – technicians perform bubble and/or leak testing to verify the final part is leak proof.
- Last Inspection – the quality assurance department inspects as well as certifies the final part.
