Using conventional machines to design parts with extraordinary shapes and tight tolerance can be challenging. But not when using electrical discharge machining (EDM). Wire EDM allows you to cut any electrical conducting metal easily and accurately. You can cut out any shape with sizes as thin as human hair.

When manufacturing products for different industries, some sectors often require specific raw materials that meet unique industry specifications. The manufacturing materials used to fabricate medical products, for instance, will vary from those used to manufacture aerospace parts or from products used in oil and gas.
Some factors that come into play when selecting the materials to use in different industries include durability, structural properties, environmental impact, economic aspects, and specialist properties, such as thermal conductivity, stability, corrosion resistance, etc. If you are wondering which metals are ideal for your industry, we have you covered.

The manufacturing sector is often focused on improving processes and delivering value in the most cost-effective ways. But manufacturing comes in many shapes, and sometimes the quality of the end products is more important than the cost and optimization metrics. This is the case for complex manufacturing, where quality is always at stake.
Whether manufacturing surgical equipment or forging machined parts for use in an aircraft, it takes more than experience to get things right every other time. That’s where quality assurance comes in; to help manufacturers create and ship high-precision and industry-compliant products that are clear of defects and meet customer expectations.
(more…)The medical industry is one of the 6 major markets we serve. Along with manufacturing medical drills and taps, our other medical products include screws, connectors & crosslinks, rods, hooks, and cages along with other essential pieces for the medical industry. Typically, our pieces are made with Titanium, PEEK, Stainless Steel, Aluminum or Cobalt Chrome. Our metal guide gives a clear picture of why we use the metals we use. In short, we are FDA compliant, ISO 9001 & 13485 certified and we run on SAP. Our pieces are used in essential procedures that have life changing impacts.

Similarly to how medical or defense companies follow HIPPA guidelines, manufacturing companies like us are required to uphold certain standards to ensure our products and people are safe. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards are crucial to our work and are internationally agreed upon by experts as the best way to go about things. Each year we assess our certifications and standards. This year we received certifications in ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016 and AS9100D for international Quality Management Standards.

Historically Studs were chamfered on a belt sander and hand stamped. This process was labor intensive and costly not to mention the increased risk for mistakes. Another method for stud manufacturing is chamfering in a lathe if the chamfer dimensions are precise such as for critical industries like aerospace, energy, and medical. Our studmaster machine significantly cuts down on production time and costs. A chamfer is a transitional edge between two sides of an object that is often created between the two sides of a 90* Angle. It is used in many applications to help ease with assembly when multiple pieces are involved and also removes a sharp edge which reduces room for workplace injuries. With metal applications it prevents damage to the metal. The chamfered end is also called a “lark’s tongue” due to the similarity in shape.

The climate in the manufacturing industry has been affected by a variety of events, not the least of which is the COVID-19 pandemic. The problems filter down within the industry, including supply chain and shipping issues. When many companies were closed because of lockdowns, both essential and non-essential manufacturing were also affected. Manufacturing plants depend upon the availability of shipping containers, and if they are in short supply, products cannot reach customers.
