 _{MODIFICATION AND UPGRADE OF OLD  MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT}

With our engineering resources, we are able to modify and update your old equipment.  This modification was done on a fifty year old drilling and broaching machine that was well built, mechanically.  We rebuilt this machine completely, replacing the wear components and providing a completely new electrical system.

                                                BEFORE

                                                             AFTER

Old controls requiring manual settings each time a changeover was made, have been replaced with modern controls, including touch screen interface and PLC system providing variable speed and feed control.  Program storage capacity with rapid recall, provides easier, more reliable production, with less down time.

Safety features were also added, to protect at setup or changeover, as well keeping the operator safe during production.

              Safety             Reliability           Productivity

                                                     Everybody caught a lot of fish with many even hitting their limits. Sam Rastguelanian landed the biggest fish of the day and took home the $100 jackpot!
 

On the journey home we were fortunate enough to see a spectacular view of a humpback whale breaching many times, close to our boat. All that and a sunset to write home about left everyone saying, “when is the next trip?”
