Custom Manufacturing of Book Sewing Machine for the Textbook Manufacturing Industry
A textbook manufacturer contacted Numerical Concepts to custom manufacture a SMC Side Sewer book sewing machine. The aluminum, stainless steel and steel machine was based on our industry leading engineering analysis and was designed using CAD drawings and models. The manufacturing and assembly process featured: turning (CNC & manual), vertical and horizontal milling (CNC & manual), cutting (flame & water jet), welding (TIG & MIG), shearing, bending and mechanical and electrical assembly. The machine, which featured a driven upper and lower drill assembly, hopper feeders, a factory pre-wired DC motor and automatic double thread cutter and pressurized lubrication systems, had a maximum speed of 290, 1 ¼" stitches per minute. Numerical Concepts manufactured and delivered up to 4 of the 6,000 lbs side sewers in 5-7 months.
Custom Fabrication of a Vacuum Chamber for the Plastic Industry
Numerical Concepts was approached by a customer in the plastic industry to custom fabricate a vacuum chamber utilizing a CNC flame cutter, we cut all the parts form A-36 steel plate. All plates had weld preps machined as needed. Next all of the parts were welded together forming a 60" x 90" x 120' high chamber. Next the unit was stress relieved and came back for the final machine work. The finished product was machined on all sides for O-ring sealed surface finishes. Faces were held flat and parallel with numerous bored and tapped holes. We were able to hold tolerances of ±.001 throughout the finished product
Custom Manufacturing of Conveyor Frames for the Aluminum Industry
A client from the aluminum industry contacted Numerical Concepts to custom manufacture conveyor frames in a number of different styles and sizes. The steel components of the conveyor frames were flame and saw cut, welded, turned, milled and then sand blasted. These processes were followed by painting with both yellow and blue epoxy paint. After a thorough inspection of all the manufactured parts, we packaged and shipped 10 of each different style of conveyor frame to the client. The entire project took 12 weeks from order to delivery.
Custom Metal Fabrication of Concave Roll for the Aluminum Rolling Industry
Recently, an aluminum rolling company approached Numerical Concepts to custom fabricate a concave roll. We were tasked with cutting, milling, turning, drilling, welding, grinding and assembling 100, 2400 lbs steel concave rolls. Using a variety of high-end equipment (Cincinnati Sabre vertical milling machines and CNClathes, band saws, manual lathes and a Burgmaster horizontal mill) we were able to manufacture the concave rolls within tightest tolerances of +/- .0005. Every part received 100% inspection and came with a 32 RA finish.
