“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” John Fitzgerald Kennedy “Appreciation can make a day - even change a life.Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.” Margaret Cousins We are coming into the most wonderful time of the year, I believe. The weather in the Southwest makes it one of the most fabulous places to live, and if we want snow, we are just hours from the mountains. It is also such a wonderful time of giving, with Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays made complete with families, loved ones, and festivities. We have so much to be grateful for.

It is a time of year to show appreciation for those who are important in our lives – and this means not just our families and loved ones, but also our colleagues, our employees, our customers and our suppliers.We couldn’t do the incredible things that we do without many of these individuals in our lives.

This issue shares so many pictures of Open Houses that our advertisers hosted for their loyal customers, and in this issue we announce Open Houses to come. Take the time to attend these events – your suppliers spend a great deal of effort on planning an event which is first and foremost designed to thank you for your patronage.

Gratitude has so many positive effects. It can serve to reinforce future pro-social behavior in the recipients. For example, one experiment found that customers of a jewelry store who were called and thanked showed a subsequent 70% increase in purchases. In comparison, customers who were called and told about a sale showed only a 30% increase in purchases, and customers who were not called at all did not show an increase. In another study, regular patrons of a restaurant gave bigger tips when servers wrote “Thank you” on their checks.

A company maintains its most valued assets not by compensation, but by appreciation. Research shows that people leave their jobs because of a lack of appreciation not compensation! Employees value organizations where they experience gratitude by staying longer, doing more, helping each other do more and contributing to the growth and development of their company. Money, position and power are one small part of the formula when it comes to taking care of our most valuable assets, the people who comprise our workforce.

Gratitude is a common theme across religious beliefs across the world — it is viewed as a prized human propensity in the Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Baha’i, and Hindu traditions. It is one of the most common emotions that religions aim to provoke and maintain in followers and is regarded as a universal religious sentiment.

Go ahead and start a holiday tradition at your workplace to show your thankfulness for your team members. Some examples include: a holiday party, secret holiday gift exchange, or a company potluck. Traditions like these give your employees something to look forward to, build team spirit, and encourage office camaraderie.

Another suggestion, and this is one of my favorites. I remember this fondly from my years working at Intel: Give back together — The holidays are a great reminder to give back to those who are less fortunate. Consider organizing a company-wide volunteer outing, making a small donation in each employee’s name, or collectively deciding on a charity to present a larger donation to.

Until next issue, enjoy the holidays, regularly demonstrate your appreciation for others and God Bless our Troops!

Study’s Finding Could Reduce Costs Of Owning Hydrogen-Powered Cars

CNC Lathe Work CMM Technology Rapid Turnaround Local Arizona Company

Federal researchers believe that a newly developed metal material could help dramatically reduce the cost of fuel for cars powered by hydrogen.

Scientists at New Mexico’s Sandia National Laboratories tweaked a material called molybdenum disulfide — or “molly” — to improve its performance as a hydrogen catalyst.

One Source Responsibility IPE Aerospace can simplify and shorten production cycles and produce precision machined components for your needs.

Contact us today or visit our website.

IPE AEROSPACE

The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that the altered metal produced four times the amount of hydrogen as any previous hydrogen extraction from water.

Lead author Stan Chou anticipated that scientists would achieve “far more output as we learn to better integrate molly with, for example, fuel-cell systems.”

Molybdenum disulfide, the researchers hope, could eventually match platinum’s capabilities as a hydrogen catalyst at a tiny fraction of the cost. Molly costs roughly 37 cents per gram; platinum runs about $1,500 per gram.

Hydrogen fuel cells allow cars to burn widely available hydrogen and leave only water vapor as exhaust.

Toyota, Honda and Nissan recently announced a collaborative effort to boost hydrogen-fueled cars in their native Japan, while Toyota launched its Mirai hydrogen-fueled sedan at the Frankfurt auto show last month.

Sandia researchers also said that the molly reaction can be triggered by sunlight, would could one day allow users to produce hydrogen fuel free from the electrical grid.

Critics, including Telsa’s Elon Musk, previously suggested that hydrogen would be an inefficient source of energy. A cheaper catalyst, however, could go a long way toward resolving those concerns.

“There are many intricacies to be worked out,” said study co-author Bryan Kaehr. “But getting inexpensive molly to work this much more efficiently could drive hydrogen production costs way down.”Source: Manfacturing.net

Raytheon Mini-Missile Hits Mark In Tests Raytheon’s smallest guided munition was successfully test02/16/10 fired from a grenadeA2Z launcher in Metalworker a test, Tucson-based Raytheon 1/3 page square - 5 3/8 x 5 3/8" Missile Systems said.

The company said that during a test in May, it successfully fired two Pike 40 mm precisionguided munitions from a standard tube grenade launcher during flight tests at Mile High Resources, a test site in west Texas.

Both rounds landed within the targeted impact area after flying more than 2,300 yards, said Raytheon, which is funding the munition’s development for prospective customers including the Army.

The Pike uses a digital, semi-active laser seeker to find and hit fixed or slow-moving, mid-range targets. Weighing less than two pounds and measuring just 16.8 inches in length, Pike can be fired from conventional, single-shot grenade launchers.Source: Arizona Daily Star A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Orbital ATK, a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies, announced that the company was awarded a $16 million contract with options for the first phase of development for the 120mm Advanced Multi-Purpose (AMP), XM1147 High Explosive Multi-Purpose with Tracer cartridge.

This new tank ammunition will provide Abrams Main Battle Tank crews a multi-purpose round that replaces four existing rounds, giving greater mission flexibility and main-gun capability through a single munition for multiple engagement scenarios.

AMP provides bunker and light-armor defeat, obstacle reduction and dismount engagement.

Additionally, the round provides tank crews with an added capability to breach reinforced walls, and engage anti-tank crews and dismounts at ranges up to 2,000 meters.

Earlier this year, Orbital ATK and the U.S. Army completed qualification for the M829E4, creating the Army’s fifth generation, 120mm kinetic energy round that features a penetrator capable of defeating all modern armor protection suites as well as future armor protection concepts.

Orbital ATK has successfully type-classified 11 of the 13 current 120mm tactical and training rounds for the Abrams tank during more than 30 years of experience partnering with the U.S. Army to provide the warfighter with advanced ammunition types.

Boeing Co said it expects to sell 150 more of its popular CH-47F Chinook helicopters to foreign countries through 2022, with the helicopter drawing strong interest from new countries outside the 19 nations that already operate it.

Steve Parker, Boeing’s vice president for cargo helicopters, told Reuters that Boeing expected a number of buyers from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, including “quite a number of new additional countries.”

Germany is one of the countries looking at a possible purchase, U.S. Army Colonel Rob Barrie, project manager for cargo helicopters, told Reuters at the annual Association of the U.S. Army conference.

There are 30 remaining options in a fiveyear contract that ends in fiscal 2017 that can be used for foreign orders, Parker told reporters. He said some countries that already operate the helicopters could place additional orders to benefit from the lower pricing in the multi-year contract.

There are 874 Chinooks in service around the world, Parker said, including about 100 CH-47 D-models, some of which could be upgraded to the current F-model used by the U.S. Army.

US Officials: F-35 Will Outmatch Any Aircraft In Development New Spindle Sales and Repair Service High Speed • High Torque • High Quality

The Pentagon’s chief weapons buyer sees no aircraft in development anywhere today that would be “ser iously competitive” against the Lockheed Martin F-35 in combat.

The fifth-generation multirole fighter has been in development for 14 years and the B-model has only just achieved operational status with the US Marine Corps, but the US military appears confident that it is still introducing a cutting-edge weapon system capable of outclassing modern, supermanoeuvrable Russian and Chinese aircraft like the Sukhoi T-50 (PAK FA) that were largely designed to counter the F-35 and F-22.

Program executive officer Lt Gen Christopher Bogdan expressed confidence in the aircraft’s projected capabilities once it completes development in 2019.“It’s the finest fighter airplane in the world and nothing compares to it,” Bogdan says. “I’d put this airplane up against world tomorrow and for the next 20 or 30 We pr ide ou r s e l ve s o n o u r sany e r v iairplane ce a n d qin u a lthe ity p ro d u ctoday, ts years and we’ll come out ahead.”

Pratt, GE Battle For Future Of Military Engines The US Air Force and the Army are moving full speed ahead toward next-generation engines the services hope will significantly increase fuel efficienc y and power.

And both endeavors pit two giants in the engine-building world against each other: GE Aviation and Pratt & Whitney.

The Air Force is kicking off the next phase of its effort to develop adaptive engine technology, a new concept both companies have been developing for several years. Pratt and GE both submitted proposals, due Sept. 16, for the Air Force’s Adaptive Engine Transition Program

Rotary Log Pallet System on a Standard Vertical Machining Center

(AETP), which is meant to build and test the new engine model.

Industry expects the Air Force to award contracts for AETP to Pratt and GE in early 2016.The five-year program, which could be worth as much as $950 million to each team, will transition the existing technology out of the Air Force Research Laboratory and into the acquisition realm.

Industry does not expect a downselect to one company in the near term, but the Pentagon will likely make a decision on a single engine solution in the next few years.

If the stakes weren’t high enough, some say AETP will play a role in shaping the requirements for the next-generation fighter jet. As the Air Force works to understand the needs of air power out into the 2030s, the service hopes soon to settle on a path forward for a sixth-generation plane.

Under AETP, which runs parallel to the planned analysis of alternatives for sixth gen, Pratt and GE will work alongside the three major aircraft primes to test different concepts.

Meanwhile, the Army released a request for proposals for preliminary designs for the Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP) at the end of September. ITEP will replace the engine in roughly 3,000 UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache helicopters with a more powerful and fuel-efficient one.

Companies have until Nov. 9 to submit offers and be part of an open competition where up to two vendors will be selected to develop designs.

While it’s possible a dark horse like France’s Turbomeca could respond to the request, it’s expected only two engines will be submitted: one from a Honeywell-Pratt & Whitney team and one from GE. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Boeing, BAE Will Develop EW Suite For F-15 The US Air Force selected Boeing as the prime contractor on a new, all-digital electronic warfare suite for its fleet of F-15 fighters. BAE Systems will develop the new system.

The Air Force’s Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) will counter threats and better protect F-15 air crews, according to an Oct. 1 Boeing statement. The system will be installed on more than 400 F-15Es and F-15Cs, replacing the legacy Tactical Electronic Warfare System, which has been in use since the 1980s.

The EPAWSS program is valued at $4 billion, according to the statement.

“Warfighters of today and tomorrow need the latest in jamming, targeting, infrared threat detection and enhanced decoy capabilities,” said Mike Gibbons, vice president, Global Strike Boeing F-15 programs, according to the statement. “EPAWSS will ensure the F-15 is relevant and dominant through 2040 and beyond.”

Boeing has chosen BAE Systems as the subcontractor to develop EPAWSS, which provides A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

advanced EW capabilities and a “significant growth path” for the F-15, according to an Oct. 1 BAE Systems statement.The system will improve aircraft protection by adding advanced electronic countermeasures, radar warning and increased chaff and flare capability.

“By upgrading to an enhanced all-digital system, the Air Force, in conjunction with the platform prime, Boeing, will provide next-generation electronic warfare capability to F-15C and F-15E aircraft to help keep the platform capable and mission-ready against current and future threats, ” said Brian Walters, vice president and general manager of Electronic Combat Solutions at BAE Systems, according to the BAE statement.

With Modified Jet Fuel, Planes Can’t Explode The four planes chosen by the September 11 terrorists were chosen for a reason.

All four flights were traveling across the continent loaded down with huge quantities of jet fuel, the ignition source for the horrible tragedies that took place that day at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and at the crash site of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

In 2002, after the attacks, Caltech scientist, Julia Kornfield and colleagues began working on a polymer that could prevent jet fuel from being used as an explosive weapon.Their results are published in last months’ issue of Science. Kornfield’s team, including Ming-Hsin “Jeremy” Wei, one of the first authors of the paper, created a polymer, a large molecule, called a megasupramolecule that can link together with other megasupramolecules to form massive chains.

The megasupramolecules act a little bit like chains with tiny bits of velcro at the end of each one. They can break apart, and then automatically link back together.

Watch Kornfield’s explanation of how megasupramolecules work: When mixed in with jet fuel, the megasupramolecules help the fuel flow more easily through the engine, and, in

crash situations, prevent the fuel from “misting”, or turning into tiny droplets. Misting is fine during normal engine operation, but in a crash the sudden dispersal of fuel over a wide area can make it explosive when it meets a heat source.

“Above all,” Kornfield said in a press release, “We hope these new polymers will save lives and minimize burns that result from postimpact fuel fires.”

So far, it has only been tested in a lab, but initial results are promising. In addition to inhibiting explosions, fuel with the additive functions act just like normal fuel in an engine, meaning airlines wouldn’t have to make additional technical changes to their aircraft. And unlike many scientific ventures, this one might not take long to go from the laboratory to the real world.

“Looking to the future, if you want to use this additive in thousands of gallons of jet fuel, diesel, or oil, you need a process to massproduce it,” Wei said in a press release. “That is why my goal is to develop a reactor that will continuously produce the polymer— and I plan to achieve it less than a year from now.” Source: Popular Science

Uncle Sam Wants Manufacturers

AN AS:9100 COMPANY

When 17-year-old Brian Dardon told his mother he wanted to pursue a career in manufacturing, she was full of apprehension.

To Diane Dardon, a Protestant c haplain at a Chicago university, manufacturing meant performing rote, unskilled tasks with little job security.

“It all seemed so much less than exciting as a career prospect for him,” she said.

The future of manufacturing in the US will largely be shaped by the strength of the US dollar, energy costs and the outcome of trade deals such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. But companies face a human challenge too - how to recruit young Americans to replace millions of Baby Boom-generation employees retiring over the next decade.

Nationwide, the number of apprentices fell more than 40 percent from 2007 to 2013 to under 300 000, according to government data. But then they rose around 10 percent in 2014 when, in a rare act of bipartisanship, Congress passed theWorkforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, which provides $3 billion a year for training programs. Several presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle, including Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, propose expanding apprenticeships.

Industry executives are discovering it’s not enough to convince students.

They have to overcome the doubts of parents, who have watched manufacturers lay off US workers and ship their jobs overseas for decades.

“Convincing parents that manufacturing is not just a dirty dying business and is a viable alternative to an expensive college degree with no guarantee of work at the end of it is a major challenge we face,” said Dick Gilchrist, chairman of the US division of Felsomat, a German company that makes assembly line machinery for automakers such as General Motors and Ford Motor.

Brian has just started his senior year at Wheeling High School in the Chicago suburbs, and his school district offers a manufacturing program with companies in the “Golden Corridor”, a long strip rich in manufacturers that runs through the northwestern suburbs. Brian now plans to go to college to pursue qualifications that will prepare him for a career in manufacturing.

There’s an economic imperative behind the politics. US manufacturers can’t find enough candidates: from January to June of this year, the manufacturing sector averaged 68 000 unfilled jobs per month, according to government data.

Plating & Metal Finishing:

But then Brian took an internship at local manufacturer Engis Corporation, where he was asked to brainstorm to fill customer orders.

His mother now sees that an industrial job can offer a “creative outlet for his talents”.

2015

Inspired by similar programs in Germany where industrial apprenticeships are more common, Gilchrist recruits at area high schools and hosts open

houses for kids and parents, where he extols training programmes paid by employers and job guarantees. It beats spending tens of thousands of dollars on a four-year college degree, he says, only to see their child work as a barista.

“When we get parents in here, their eyes get real big, real quick when they see how modern and clean our facility is,” he said.

Overall, the number of manufacturing jobs in the US is still 15 percent below pre-recession 2005 levels. But advocates of manufacturing training say there is an impressive growth opportunity for skilled workers, such as “computer numerically controlled machine tool programmers”.

The number of such positions, which require the ability to write instructions for factory floor robots, is up 40 percent from 2005. The mean annual wage for machine tool programmers last year was around $50 000.

The money is an issue for parents and for good reason: Average manufacturing wages in the US have grown by 20 percent over the past decade, slower than the 30 percent increase in overall US wage growth - which in turn has lagged inflation.

Christian Reyes, an 18-year-old with a budding interest in electronics, said neither he nor his Mexican-born parents ever imagined he would veer towards manufacturing.

“We always figured you to go college to study to become a doctor or a nurse,” said Reyes. “But no one in our family had any idea you could study manufacturing.”

On the recommendation of a high school teacher, Reyes took an internship at Felsomat in 2014 during his senior year.

Felsomat hired Reyes after graduation and he is now working toward a three-year degree in manufacturing at Harper College, a community college that resuscitated a dormant manufacturing course in 2012 at the urging of local companies.

Career Academy, a public charter school located in South Bend, Indiana, works with manufacturers like auto supplier Federal-Mogul, to offer manufacturing and engineering courses.

For Ethan Wierenga, 15, Career Academy tailored a curriculum to his skills and recommended he also learn welding, an in-demand skill he could fall back on if he were ever to be unemployed. Now, his mother, Anne Wierenga, says she’s confident her son will “not be living in the basement when he’s 40”.

Wage prospects for these new industrial workers might improve too.

Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Financial Group, said employers will have to raise pay more to find the workers they want. The average pay for machine tool programmers has only risen 8 percent since 2008, just before the Great Recession took hold.

“There may be some areas where there are labor shortages,” Porter said.

“But I am confident the market will adjust to meet demand.” Source: Nick Carey, Manufacturing News Today

We thank you for your business! Owners Doug & Jill Cone Tesla, Switch Fuel Economic Boom In Ex-Railroad Town Long dwarfed by Reno, known as the Biggest Little City in the World, Sparks is anticipating an economic boom.

“We’ve always been in their shadow, but we are moving to where we have our own identity now,” said Sparks Mayor Geno Martini, who has lived in the city since his birth in 1946.

That’s an identity they hope will be built around the residents settling into huge new facilities at an expansive industrial park a few miles east, including Tesla, data-center developer Switch and legions of highly paid tech workers.

New housing and retail projects already underway in Sparks include the makeover of a shuttered casino that will house boutique shops, restaurants and offices, with loft apartments in the old hotel — all to appeal to “younger hipsters,” seniors and empty-nesters, the developer says.

Some worry, however, that this city of nearly 100,000 is not ready to meet the needs of such sudden growth that will quickly bring demands for not only more houses but schools, police and other services.

Tesla alone is expected to eventually employ more than 6,000 at its $5 billion lithium battery plant on schedule to begin production next year.

Washoe County, encompassing Reno and Sparks, expects to add 34,000 jobs to its 258,000 workforce by 2019, according to a report prepared for the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada.

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

36 • Nov / Dec

2015

“About 50,000 new jobs equals 5,000 new homes per year for the next five years,” said Bruce Breslow, director of the Nevada Department of Business and Industry.

The industrial park offers Sparks officials an opportunity to remake part of a downtown core dotted with small, shuttered casinos that they’ve longed to renovate for nearly two decades.

A partnership between Reno-based Green Street Companies and the Southern California-based LandCap Investment Partners, which owns the old casino, has produced a $25 million project that aims to turn the dilapidated six-story hotel into 100 loft-style apartments.

The ex-casino will become “The Yard” — 112,000 square feet of commercial space in a three-story building with offices on top and a ground floor with an “open-market feeling” surrounded by shops and restaurants with indoor-outdoor patio dining.

“The guys to the west (in Reno) will be saying: ‘What happened? How did Sparks do that?’” said City Councilman Ed Lawson.

UA to Partner With Uber on Research Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and University of Arizona President Ann Weaver Hart joined Uber executives at the UA College of Optical Sciences to celebrate a major economic development par tnership between Uber and the UA. As part of the partnership, which focuses on research and development in the optics space for mapping and safety, the University will become home to Uber’s state-of-the-art mapping test vehicles. Additionally, Uber will donate $25,000 to the College of Optical Sciences to help the next generation of scientists, engineers and researchers continue to explore and develop new, innovative technology.

Ducey called it “a great day for Uber, for the UA and for the future of innovation in Arizona,” adding that his administration has

been focused on helping companies such as Uber succeed in the state.

“This announcement is the latest signal that it’s working,” Ducey said.

“All Arizonans stand to benefit from embracing new technologies — especially when it means new jobs, new economic development, new research opportunities and increased public safety and transportation options for our state. That’s what this partnership is about, and I thank Uber and the University of Arizona for their efforts and commitment to making it happen.”

“This is an exciting new partnership, and I am glad that the UA’s global research leadership allows us to join in a collaborative effort that will have great benefit for this state,” Hart said. “Ranked as a top-20 public research university by the National Science Foundation, the UA’s role in Arizona’s innovation and knowledge economy is absolutely vital. Our achievements in advanced optics and imaging technologies in particular will help Uber on the ground in Arizona.

“I’m impressed with Uber’s vision and commitment to this partnership, and grateful for Gov. Ducey’s support and leadership in helping to facilitate it.”

Survey Of Economists Shows Rate Hike Looms A survey of business economists finds that a majority still expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates before the end of the year, with the broader economy expected to grow at a slightly faster pace in 2015 than previously forecast.

Economists now expect the gross domestic product, adjusted for inflation, to rise 2.5 percent for the year, according to the survey by the National Association for Business Economics. That’s up from the previous forecast of 2.4 percent in June.

The uptick is the result of a stronger-than-expected growth in the first half of the year, however. For the remainder of the year, economists lowered their forecast.

For 2016, the economists also lowered their forecast to growth of 2.7 percent, down from their prediction of 2.9 percent growth in June.The survey was based on forecasts by 50 economists and was conducted Sept. 16 to 23.

Panelists continue to expect the strong U.S. dollar and the economic slowdown in China to weigh on the U.S. economy, while lower crude oil prices and monetary policy easing in Japan and Europe are expected to help.

Meanwhile, 14 percent of the panelists said they think the Federal Reserve will begin a cycle of short-term interest rate increases starting at its October policy meeting. Another 65 percent expect a hike at the December meeting. Sixteen percent expect a hike in the first half of next year, and 2 percent predict a hike in 2017 or later.

US Regulators OK Lockheed-Sikorsky Deal US regulators have given the green light to Lockheed Martin’s acquisition of Sikorsky Aircraft, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The filings, first reported by Reuters, signal that Lockheed’s $9 billion purchase of the American helicopter maker will not be subject to a second request for information from US regulators, which could have postponed the deal’s closing substantially. Instead, the deal appears to be on track to close in the 4th quarter of 2015 or the first quarter of 2016, as Lockheed had hoped.

Effectively, US regulators reviewed the deal for two months, said Jeff Bialos, a partner at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan who specializes in aerospace and defense M&A and previously served as the Pentagon’s deputy undersecretary of defense for industrial policy.

“That’s reasonably quick for a transaction of this size and scope,” he said.

“It’s somewhat surprising that a deal of this magnitude didn’t go to a full second request.”

Government regulators spent a longer period reviewing the merger between Orbital Sciences Corp. and Alliant Techsystems into what became Orbital ATK, he said.

“There are similar types of issues here, so one would have anticipated that it would have taken longer,” he said.Bialos cautioned that the speedy approval of the deal, which may still need approval from other agencies in Europe and China, does not signal a broad philosophical change toward consolidation from the DoD.

PING Hosts Manufacturing Day Tour In October, the Arizona Manufacturers Council (AMC) in partnership with the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and thousands of manufacturers across the country, participated in Manufacturing Day. During this annual event, companies opened their doors to students, parents, educators, business leaders, and community leaders to showcase the many career opportunities available through manufacturing.

Manufacturing Day in Arizona featured a tour of Phoenix manufacturer PING, one of the top three golf equipment brands in the U.S. PING’s impressive facility has been in the valley for 56 years, now occupying a full city block and employing nearly 800. Manufacturing Day visitors enjoyed a warm welcome from PING Chairman and CEO, John A. Solheim, followed by a start-to-finish walk of the shop floor, culminating in a visit to the Gold PutterVault, home to more than 2,800 gold putters, each commemorating a major tournament win by a professional golfer playing PING clubs. Decades ago, founder Karsten Solheim pioneered a winning formula, and today his children and grandchildren and the tremendous team at PING continue to manufacture excellence and innovation right here in Arizona’s backyard.

Paul Czaplicki, Sales Engineer for Adams Machinery, the dealer for United Grinding Group in Arizona, says, “You won’t find many, if any, precision grinding companies in AZ with the capabilities that Sun Grinding offers.” He continued, “You also won’t find many grinding job shops in the area that have a Studer favoritCNC, or any CNC OD grinder of this caliber.”

Today, Sun Grinding supports nearly 800 customers, primarily in Arizona, but also for US companies with operations across the border in Mexico. “Business is very good,” Scott proudly admits. “We have built our business on meeting our customer’s needs.

Quality and service are the focal points of our business. Whatever the size of the job whether it’s one part or hundreds of parts or whether we have to work nights, weekends or add double shifts to service our customers, we do what it takes to meet their deadlines.” Since he took over the company,

well as all standard plate/flat grinding and round bar sizing. Scott recently expanded Sun Grinding’s capabilities to include a state-of-the art CNC cylindrical grinder. This is not just any CNC OD grinder – it is a superior Swiss manufactured OD grinder, the Studer favoritCNC. Studer is a member company of the United Grinding Group.

Scott says, “We have always done precision grinding. With our new Studer favoritCNC, we now offer cylindrical grinding to tolerances of .0001” with finishes as low as 4 or better. We take pride in our quality, performance, efficiency, customer service and confidently guarantee the accuracy in all of our work. I like to work directly with our customers. I feel we are in a partnership with them and would like to extend a hand to anyone I can meet with and determine how we can help them with their grinding needs to potentially earn their business.”

can Sun Grinding grind your blades (up to 14 feet long), but their welding experts can build up damaged or wor n areas and extend the life of your blades with die reconditioning.

Scott says for many of his customers, Sun Gr inding’s blade sharpening can save them over twice the cost of new blades. He added, “We can often sharpen a blade from 5-7 times before our customers have to purchase a new set of blades.”

Sun Grinding has doubled in sales and in machinery. Its grinding capabilities are indeed impressive.

• OD Grinding - Sun Grinding performs OD grinding with capabilities of 13.7” diameter and 25.5” part length. They can hold parts between centers, with jaw chucks, collet chucks, magnetic chucks or special fixturing.We also offer center lapping for your OD parts.

• Centerless Grinding - Sun Grinding performs through feed (bar and tube sizing) and infeed centerless grinding (for multiple diameter grinding/plunge grinding for headed parts with shoulders, bolts, rivets, studs, pins, etc.). To their knowledge, Sun Grinding has the largest centerless grinding and bar grinding capabilities in Arizona and beyond in the Southwest. They can centerless grind from .030” up to 4” in diameter.

• Surface Grinding - The company offers tight-tolerance surface grinders with sizes up to 32” x 96” and 17” x 168”. These machines are for tight tolerance size, flatness, parallelism and finish callouts.

• Blanchard Grinding - The Blanchard grinding machines at Sun Grinding are high-horsepower stock removal machines that can grind a variety of materials including steel, aluminum, stainless steel, sheet metal and more. Their largest Blanchard grinding machine will cut the stock quickly and it will grind parts up to 72” diagonally.

• Sun Grinding can handle your steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, other non-magnetic alloys, plastics, and exotic materials for all of its grinding services.

Over the past few years, a number of Sun Grinding’s customers asked them to expand their services to include OD grinding. Many expressed frustration with the long lead times that they currently experienced. In answer to his customer’s requests, last year Scott attended IMTS, and began his evaluation of OD grinding machines. After Scott met with several OD grinding builders at ITMS, he said, “If I had my choice of OD grinders, it would definitely be the Studer from the United Grinding Group.” He was very impressed with his discussions with the Studer group as well as United Grindings presence at IMTS, “they stood out from the others we looked at”.

Scott says, “I was especially impressed with the superior customer support and training Studer provides.” He added, “The Studer Grinder is the best of the best….and I wanted the best.”

“This was a big step for us”, Scott says. “It launched us into another much needed service category. We made a large investment in this new direction for our business and are excited about the expanded services we can offer our customers and the potential for growth.”

Owner, Precision Machine Shop

The Studer favoritCNC is the first machine Scott purchased from Adams Machinery, though they have used them for maintenance on their Doosan lathe for approximately four years. “We have found over the past years that Adams Machinery’s customer support is outstanding. Not only is their team knowledgeable, but they also excel at customer support all around. Scott also values the support and relationship he has with Paul from Adams Machinery. “Paul isn’t pushy like many sales people I meet. He is certainly persistent, but always respectful of how busy I am. I feel like he doesn’t sell us, he works with us to provide a machine tool solution to best equip our needs.”

Scott and his staff at Sun Grinding received a full week of training by the Studer professionals, all done on Sun Grinding’s premises. Paul says, “Scott was a great student – though he was new to OD grinding, his strong background in flat grinding made for a short learning curve and his experienced technicians were able to pick up the Studer programing very easily.” Scott says, “The Studer was a great purchase for us – it is a superior basic grinding machine suited for individual and batch production of small and medium-sized work pieces; favoritCNC is the perfect all around universal grinder for a job shop or specialty grinding shop.”

Scott says, “Grinding is the last process in making a highly value-added part, and there is no room for error without losing the entire part. Our Studer is proving invaluable to our customers. If you are manually grinding your parts, the time savings you will experience, particularly if your parts are in the hundreds, is enormous.” He added, “The Studer glass scales offer much better accuracy and consistency than manual grinding, and we value the variable speed on the grinding wheel, the auto dressing, the versatility of going from live to dead centers, and the shoulder locating, especially for production parts.”

Nasa To Reveal Major Mars Finding, Prompting Water Speculation Nasa is to reveal a “major science finding” from its Mars exploration mission, giving rise to rumours that the US space agency has found traces of liquid water on the red planet.

While it is keeping its cards close to its chest, the agency has promised a “Mars mystery solved”.

Nasa has found evidence of water on Mars in the past, mostly in frozen form at the poles but said it still considered Mars to be hostile to life.

In March, Nasa scientists said that the evidence supported the theory that an ocean once covered a fifth of Mars’ surface and was miles deep in places.

“If they are announcing that they have found easily accessible, freely flowing liquid water under the surface, which is one of the theories we have been hearing for years and years, that has massive implications both for the potential for life on that planet and sustainability of humans,” said Doug McCuistion, the former head of Nasa’s Mars program.

McCuistion said that one of the major challenges facing scientists was finding enough water and oxygen to support a human crew on Mars.

Will The Oil Price Bounce?

Will oil exports continue flowing onto the world market, suppressing the oil price? The PRIX index forecast for the rest of 2015 has just been calculated and indicates that supplies from the world’s 20 largest oil exporters are not going to fall this year, contributing stably low oil prices. The forecast also implies that: • Neither sanctions nor the low oil price are impeding Russian oil exports • Iran is going to up its exports faster than many market actors have expected • The conflict with the Islamic State is not going to curb the rise of Iraqi oil exports • Kuwait may be the first Arab Gulf state to curb its exports, a possible early sign that that they are beginning to feel the pain of lower oil prices—or that they are beginning to see the job of defending market share as completed.

The PRIX index is a new analytical tool for oil market forecasting based on the input of 265 country analysts. Their insider views on the 20 countries covered by the index are brought together using a diffusion index formula similar to a purchasing manager index (PMI).

This makes it possible to put a single global number on the supply-side risk in international oil markets. For further information and analysis of the implications for oil markets, see the new analytical note at http:// prixindex.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-Q4-PRIX-indexanalytical-note.pdf John Friedman, Analytical Advisor to the PRIX index, has made the A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

following statements for the press: — “Everybody is waiting to see who will blink first in the oil price war.The current PRIX index update indicates that it is not going to be OPEC—yet.”

— “Who is going to swerve first in this game of chicken? The sudden drop in the numbers for Kuwait could be a sign of things to come. Could they be the first Arab Gulf country to throw in the towel and reduce oil exports?”

— “All the producers are feeling the pain of lower oil prices, but nobody wants to give in. At this point they all desperately need the cash, so they are stuck in a death spiral in which cartel solidarity is increasingly difficult to achieve.”

— “The Iranians and the Iraqis are hell-bent on taking back their market shares—fair enough.”

— “Don’t hold your breath. So far neither sanctions nor the oil price have dented Russia’s oil exports.”

— “We’re still in a bear market for oil.”

Political events can have a powerful influence on the oil price. Historical examples include OPEC’s 1973 embargo in reaction to the Yom Kippur War and the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Analysts, traders and academics have had few and weak tools to handle such political events compared to what is available on economic aspects of oil price formation. The PRIX index attempts to fill this gap with a metric on export trends from world’s 20 largest oil exporters for the coming three months.The index is similar to a purchasing manager index (PMI). PMIs are based on polls of purchasing managers in companies across a sector or an economy and are used to forecast business cycles and economic trends.

The PRIX index is instead based on input from experts on the world’s 20 largest oil exporters, and forecasts how political developments will affect exports during the coming months. The index was first published in January 2015.

UPDATE 1-U.S. Air Force Eyes Bomber Contract In ‘Next Couple Of Months’ The U.S. Air Force is working through details of a long-awaited contract for a new long-range strike bomber, and expects to award a contract in the “next couple of months,” a top U.S. Air Force official said.

Amazon Tests Uber-Like Service For Deliveries Amazon is testing an Uber-like service for delivering its one-hour Prime Now packages that will enlist people to deliver packages for Amazon with their own cars.

In order to offer the speedy deliveries Amazon will pay drivers $18 to $25 an hour via its new Amazon Flex program. The move comes before the bustlingly busy November and December holiday shopping period.

And it comes as startup on-demand delivery services such as Postmates and Shyp proliferate. Ridesharing service Uber itself has been rolling out a food delivery service UberEats.

Drivers have to be at least 21 years old and pass a criminal background check and motor vehicle records review.

Lieutenant General Arnold Bunch, military deputy to Air Force acquisition chief William LaPlante, told a subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, the service was taking its time to vet the decision, which analysts say could be worth $50 billion to $80 billion for the winning bidder.

“It’s not schedule driven. It’s fact and decision point driven. We’re being very thorough,” Bunch told the committee’s seapower and projection forces subcommittee. “My hope is that it’s within the next couple of months. We still have details that we have to go through.

Bunch’s comment surprised many in industry who had expected a contract award in mid-October.

the B-2 bomber, to build 80 to 100 new Long-Range Strike-Bombers (LRS-B) to start replacing the Air Force’s aging fleet of B-1 and B-52 bombers.

The new bombers will help rebuild the Air Force bomber fleet of 159 aircraft, which has an average age of 39 years and is at its smallest level ever, according to Representative Randy Forbes, the Virginia Republican who heads the subcommittee.

Sources familiar with the process said the competing teams submitted their best and final offers this week, and a contract award now appeared unlikely before late October. The sources were not authorized to speak publicly since the program is still in competition.

A decision was initially expected this spring, but it has slipped repeatedly as Air Force officials seek to ensure that the acquisition decision holds up to a widely expected protest by the losing bidder.

Forbes said the delays had already prompted lawmakers to cut $460 million from the program in fiscal year 2016, and the Air Force could lose $100 million for each month of further delays.

“The LRS-B program promises to reinvigorate long-range surveillance and strike capabilities that have been dwindling for decades, (but) for fiscal watchdogs, the new bomber threatens to join the litany of aircraft entering service too late and over budget,” he said.

The Air Force, which has spent $1.8 billion to develop the new

classified aircraft since 2012, said it would continue to modernize the existing bombers to keep them viable through 2040. Source: Reuters

Scalability: Our distributors are entrepreneurial companies, who are not shackled by the constraints typical of huge corporations.

They’re able to expand their ranks as needed, and can hire and scale quickly. This means you’re working with a company that has their finger on the pulse of the industry and will rapidly ensure you have the resources you need.

When you make a decision to purchase a machine tool, one that sometimes can exceed the cost of an average home in the U.S., there are many factors that must be considered. For most shops, service and support is right up there at the top of the list. Manufacturing is hard enough without the worry of how your machines will perform and who will be there when you have an unexpected maintenance event (crash, bump). Most customers are searching for a distributor or machine tool company that has a reputation for service excellence.

Range: In addition to representing Okuma products, including lathes, machining centers, double columns and grinders, our distributors represent other complementary lines and products that further expand their ability to provide you with a competitive solution.

VETERANOWNED, ISO9001: 2008 CERTIFIED

Lindel Engineering is a Service-DisabledVeteran-Owned, ISO9001: 2008 certified precision machine shop inTucson,Arizona. Jack McFarland purchased the company, in business since 1987, nearly 15 years ago. Jack also owns Miller Products, an ISO9001: 2008 certified automatic screw machine shop in Osceola, Iowa, and Jack splits his time supporting the two businesses. Jack has a special affection for Tucson, as it is where he studied Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering and subsequently earned his MBA. Jack is a true Wild Cat! Jack says he purchased Lindel Engineering to diversify his portfolio of customers.

Miller Products is today one of the largest manufacturers of lock pins, and its customers span the agriculture, oil, and construction industries. Lindel’s customers include customers in the Optics, Medical, Communications, Aerospace, Research and Consumer industries. Jack says that the two companies perform work for each other, and both Lindel and Miller’s customers benefit from the various capabilities available across the two entities. Jack is living his dream with his businesses – “I always wanted to be a component manufacturer.”

Miller Products has a long history for the McFarland family in Iowa. Jack says that the day he was born, his father went to work for the company. Jack’s dad purchased the company in 1956, and Jack took it over 23 years ago.

For many companies, ISO9000 certification is a necessary step that they take because their end customers require it. Jack believes in ISO certification for his businesses. “It has so many benefits beyond being just a marketing tool”, he says.

“The ISO program is a business continuation and management tool. It is, by the very nature of its documented processes, an organized system that is not dependent on any one individual.” Jack recognizes the importance of this, as when he purchased Lindel Engineering several years ago, he says all of the knowledge of the company resided in the owner’s head. Today, both Lindel and Miller extensively utilize the ISO procedures in day-to-day business operations.

Owning two businesses that are ~1400 miles from one another means that there must be strong key individuals in both locations. For Lindel Engineering, Jack feels very fortunate to have met Tom Ferrara. Jack says, “Anybody can make chips – it is the organizational skills that ensure that great parts get delivered on time – Tom has these. And then there are the critical customer-focused skills, and Tom also excels at these. He really takes an interest in our customers, and our focus is always on helping our customers.”

Tom was a superior fit for many reasons. Like Jack, Tom has been a business owner, and his first business was so successful that it was sold to a publicly traded company when Tom was just 38 years of age. Since then, Tom spent time in Quality Control in a Tool & Die manufacturing company that led to his eventually becoming a 50% owner in the business and it’s new and General Manager. In fact, Tom contacted Jack more than 3 years ago to see if he had a need for a Quality Manager. Tom says, “This was on a weekend, and I reached out to Jack via Linked In. Jack responded immediately, and said his Quality Manager had just left Lindel on the previous Friday! The 2 met immediately, and Tom was hired.Tom was promoted from Quality Manager to General Manager in just months.

Tom’s Quality background has been invaluable to Lindel Engineering.Tom says, “We just completed our Year 7 ISO9001 re-certification audit, and we had a perfect audit (‘0’ Findings).”

Tom says, “Our team at Lindel Engineering is outstanding.They have on average, 5-7 years with the company, and from 10-20 years of industry experience.” He continued, “We reward our employees with bonuses for recommending people they know for open positions, and word gets out. Not only do our employees stay, but they often recommend their industry associates to come to our great company.”

Lindel Engineering specializes in machining complex parts that require a variety of materials, including non-ferrous materials, including aluminum, red metals and all types of plastics.

Jack says, “When I acquired Lindel Engineering, the company owned all ‘Brand X’ machine tools.

I was told that the ‘Brand X’ machines were just about as good as the Haas machines. I did some research over time, through trade journals, went to trade shows, and talked to others in the industry. I found that Haas was very progressive in its technology enhancements. Lindel now owns seven Haas machines.

Tom says, “Ellison Machinery, the distributor for Haas machine tools, offers superior customer support. They have Ed Laprade, an Ellison Machinery employee, who lives and works in Tucson.With local support and a great knowledge base, our machines are up and running nearly immediately with Ed and the Ellison team.” He continued, “With a non-Haas machine that we owned, we were down for 3 weeks before the machine was back up and running.”

Jameson Pack, Ellison Machinery Sales Engineer supporting Tucson customers, says, “We keep an inventory in excess of $50,000 of spare parts on all of our Ellison Machinery/Haas Factory Outlet service vans. This means that, generally speaking, we have the part on the van to repair our customers’ machines.”

Lindel Engineering excels at tight tolerance work. They are graded by a number of their customers, and Tom says, “We consistently get ‘A’ report card results.” The company is best suited for small complex work that other shops don’t want – with quantities in the 50 to 500 range, Tom says. Lindel has recently manufactured parts that went into the latest OSIRISREX PROJECT, a joint venture with the U of A and NASA The first U.S. mission to return samples from an asteroid to Earth and they are no strangers to building components for new medical equipment.

Meeting customers’ delivery schedules is a challenge for all machine shops, and it is increasingly complicated when there are design changes.Tom says, “When there are changes that will impact our customers’ scheduled delivery, early on we make the call to the customer to work out an arrangement that is most suitable to them. It’s all about communication.”

Jameson and the Ellison Machinery team recently invited Jack and Tom to the sprawling Stewart-Haas campus in Kannapolis, North Carolina, where Gene Haas is building Formula One cars. Jack says, “The event was phenomenal, and I was proud to see our Miller lock pins on the racetrack barriers.”

Jack and Tom met Gene Haas on the trip. Jack says, “It was so inspiring to hear about the Haas machine tools made in the USA by Gene Haas and his team.” He continued, “Gene is managing a family-run business, much like I do, though his are on scales that are so much larger! I could relate to Gene, and this will be a strong factor in my machine tool purchases in the future.”

Jameson says, “Spending time with Jack and Tom during the days at the Stewart-Haas campus was extraordinary. It really helped me to get to know them on a very personal level.”Tom says that Jameson, who has been supporting them since he joined Ellison Machinery, has been an asset to Lindel Engineering. “He is willing to do whatever it takes to help us keep our machines up and running.” He continued, “Issues can happen, and it is imperative to know that your supplier will be there to support you in a timely and professional manner, like Jameson does.”

“I do not consider this to be a difficult decision,” Kendall said. Asked to compare it with previous reviews for multibillion-dollar weapons systems, he said it’s far easier than the year-long negotiations he led with Lockheed, ending in 2012, for 32 F-35s in the fighter’s fifth production lot.

The Air Force can proceed only after Kendall, undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, convenes a Defense Acquisition Board review to assess the service’s readiness to award a contract in the competition that pits Northrop Grumman Corp. against a team of Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. Kendall said he hopes a date for the review, which often signals to investors that a contract award is coming within days, can be decided this month.

“When I look at a program, I look at whether it’s affordable, whether the program plan is executable -- is it a reasonable schedule, reasonable amount of money, reasonable requirements?” Kendall said in an interview. “I already did all that. So unless we learn something from the bids that changes some of those parameters, it’s merely a matter of verifying that those parameters were valid.”

COBALT ALLOYS L605

The Pentagon’s top weapons buyer, Frank Kendall, says he’ll probably soon give the Air Force permission to award the contract for the next U.S. long-range bomber because extensive preparations have indicated “we have viable bids.”

The Long-Range Strike Bomber may cost more $800 million each in today’s dollars when development costs are included, some analysts 2:51 PMhave estimated, and a fleet of 100 is planned. The bomber, scheduled for first deployment in the mid-2020s, will be one of the Pentagon’s biggest weapons systems over the next decade.

The House Armed Services Committee in May cut $460 million from the $1.25 billion fiscal 2016 request for the bomber because the selection had been delayed four months. The Senate Armed Services Piranha Ironworkers panel agreed.

The program has been shrouded in secrecy, including how much has been spent in the past three to four years on classified contracts to prepare the way. Air Force Secretary Deborah James has pledged to disclose more cost details when the contract is released.

Air Force officials have said that the competing contractors have been conducting development work since 2011 under classified contracts to minimize technology challenges.

Toyota Promises Self-Driving Vehicles In Japan Toyota unveiled its vision for self-driving cars in a challenge to other automakers as well as industry newcomer Google Inc., promising to start selling such vehicles in Japan by 2020.

Toyota Motor Corp. demonstrated on a regular Tokyo freeway recently what it called the “mobility teammate concept,” meaning the driver and the artificial intelligence in a sensor-packed car work together as a team.

In the demonstration, a Lexus drove itself within the 60 kpm (37 mph) speed limit for about 10 minutes, changing lanes, braking and steering.

The human at the wheel did nothing except turn on a button to kick in the technology.

Toyota’s plans are part of a larger Japanese government initiative to pioneer automated driving in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

It also marks a shift for Toyota, which has been working on such technology since the 1990s but with great caution, warning that the idea of a driverless car was unrealistic, even dangerous.

With the advancement of sensors and telecommunications, such technology has been increasingly catching on, particularly as a safety measure in hard to execute maneuvers such as parking.

“Our goal is to offer the freedom of movement to everyone, including the elderly and the disabled,” said Chief Safety Technology Officer Moritaka Yoshida.

But he acknowledged that the technology was not yet ready to be used on roads with pedestrians and bicyclists.

Along with curbing emissions with plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles, self-driving technology is a focus of research for the auto industry. Both will be highlighted in the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show, which opens A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

800-367 -9966

to the public later this month.

Google is also testing and refining self-driving technology, putting pressure on the auto industry to innovate.

Toyota demonstrated another futuristic automated technology called Intelligent Transportation System, which it has been testing on roads in the Toyota city area and Tokyo.

The system will be offered as an option in three models going on sale in Japan later this year, including the Crown luxury model.

Tests are starting in the U.S., but sales plans are not yet decided.

A vehicle equipped with that technology communicates with sensorytransmission equipment at street corners that detects oncoming cars, as well as pedestrians, and warns the vehicle through data transmission.The warning appears as an image on the dashboard, and the car beeps. It is useful in alerting drivers to cars and pedestrians popping out from blind spots.

The technology can also be used for cars to communicate with each other, and fine-tune cruise control, so that the car in the back responds more quickly if two cars driving on the same street are equipped with this technology.

Toyota officials said the technology has tremendous potential to reduce accidents, although it is unlikely to have much of an effect in the beginning because the transmission sensors are installed in only 20 places, including 15 in Toyota’s headquarters area.

The plan is to expand that to 50 places in Japan by spring 2016, according to Toyota.

Nissan has also demonstrated car-detection technology onYokohama roads, but using a different beaming technology.Toyota’s new transmission system uses a different standard that will be open for use by all automakers in Japan. In Japan, accidents at intersections account for about 40 percent of all traffic accidents.

Boeing saw flat deliveries of the 777 between the third quarters of 2015 and 2014: 27. But it delivered two more 777s year-to-date in 2015 than in 2014, for a total of 77 of the twin-aisle, long-range jetliner.

Deliveries of the 747 were lower in the third quarter, four in 2015 compared with six in 2014, but higher in the first nine months: 13 in 2015 compared with 12 in 2014.

Effort Will Lead to Better Matches Between Students, Workers and In-Demand Jobs NIMS is pleased to announce new funding in partnership with the National Network of Business and Industry Associations (National Network), an effort led by Business Roundtable and ACT Foundation, aimed at advancing skills, training and talent development for the precision manufacturing industry. Lumina Foundation and the Joyce Foundation have provided funding support for the initiative.

NIMS will use this investment to analyze and promote how manufacturers can use NIMS credentials to establish competency-based human resources and talent management practices. Competencybased practices include those which place higher value on a candidate’s knowledge, skills and abilities rather than a specific degree or experience.

This innovative project is one of 12 being conducted as part of the National Network’s efforts to give students and workers clear pathways to meaningful careers while providing employers a skilled, competitive workforce. Each project focuses on addressing the critical workforce needs of its sector, and a specific aspect of the National Network’s threepoint plan. This plan includes: identifying competencies and promoting credentials that lead to work; creating more work-and-learn opportunities across the economy; and encouraging more employers to use competencybased hiring practices. For more information on the 12 projects and the organizations receiving funding, please click here.

We specialize in: • Custom Metal Stamping • Precision Sheet Metal • Laser Cutting • Press Brake Forming • Deep Draw Stamping • Mig & Tig Welding • CNC Machining • Wire EDM • Tube Bending • 5 Axis Laser Cutting • Wire Forming • Spot welding • Mechanical Assembly • Engineering Assistance MORE SATISFIED CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE

The project will have several outcomes that will be published for use by all employers: Translating NIMS credentials to a common language between what defines the competencies in NIMS credentials and what defines performance in the most common jobs in the precision manufacturing industry.

A GRIFFITHS COMPANY

Creating a Credential Mapping Tool that links each NIMS credential to key occupational areas and job titles.

Developing Sample Job Descriptions that employers can use that articulate the specific skills needed for in-demand jobs.

Partnering with several companies to test these tools within their recruitment, screening and hiring processes.

“The benefits of this toolkit will expand beyond industry to support working learners,” said James Wall, executive director, NIMS. “The translation tool and the Career MappingTool will allow NIMS credentialed candidates to know what skills and credentials they need to advance in their chosen career pathway and help them articulate what their credential means to employers.”

“Business leaders need skilled workers to fill jobs at their companies and make them competitive around the world,” said John Engler, President of the Business Roundtable. “This effort will help find new ways to train more people to fill the open jobs and ensure workers have the skills and training they need to be successful.”

“ACT Foundation applauds the business-led solutions the National Network has already created which provide the foundation for connecting learning and work, including a profile of Common Employability Skills and a replicable Competency-Based Apprenticeship model,” said Parminder Jassal, Founding Executive Director of ACT Foundation. “These 12 new projects made possible by Lumina and Joyce Foundations will continue to help align the needs and practices of business with the learning, skills development, and opportunities individuals require for success.”

The National Network of Business and Industry Associations (National Network) represents major business sectors and is funded through a collaborative partnership of Business Roundtable, ACT Foundation, the Joyce Foundation and Lumina Foundation. Members include leaders in the manufacturing, retail, healthcare, energy, construction, hospitality, transportation, professional and business, and information technology sectors.They represent the source of nearly 75 percent of projected U.S. job growth through 2020 (an estimated 30 million new jobs).

BMSC...ISO is Not Rocket Science 3 Companies — All Support Manufacturing — All Offer Different Specialties — And All Find Commonality In Helping Others

industrial complex, several years ago.With Kornegay Fabrication specializing in fabrication services and Arcas Machine supporting precision machining, the two used each other’s services when their customers’ parts required it. Denny says, “Kornegay Fabrication did a great job on our fabrication needs,” and Chris says, “Arcas Machine is an excellent source when our customers require precision machining.” When Denny needed fabrication and powder coating for his racecar, he knew that he could count on Danny and Chris.

Chris met Danny Skaggs a few years ago when Danny was providing mobile welding services and he met Chris, owner of Kornegay Fabrication at a mutual customer’s site. Over the years, the 2 partnered, with the acquisition of Chisholm Lead Reels, then with the subsequent partnership of Kornegay Fabrication and District 7 Powder Coat.

BMSC, District 7 Powder Coat, and Arcas Machine each provide invaluable services to the manufacturing industry, particularly here in the Southwestern United States.

BMSC, owned by Bretta Kelly, has helped countless small manufacturing companies to prepare for ISO 9001 and AS9100 certification, enabling them to manufacture products for the Aerospace and other industries.

District 7 Powder Coat, co-owned by entrepreneurs Danny Skaggs and Chris Kornegay, opened to support the partners’ two other businesses, Kornegay Fabrication and Chisholm Lead Reels. They were outsourcing a substantial amount of work for powder coating, and they were experiencing quality and turnaround issues. Danny says, “We initially opened District 7 Powder Coat for our own products, to improve our customers’ experience with us, which meant delivering the best parts on time.Then, we found that our fabrication customers were having similar troubles and wanted to expand their relationship with us – having us do their powder coating and sand blasting, and this is how District 7 Powder Coat is experiencing such substantial growth.”

Arcas Machine (www.arcasmachine.com) is an ISO 9001:2008/ AS9100 Revision C Certified precision machine shop that supports a number of industries, with a strong focus on the aerospace and defense industries.The family owned and operated business will celebrate 50 years in business next year.

And how are the 3 companies related?

Denny Arcas, 3rd generation family member to run Arcas Machine, contacted BMSC 3 years ago to prepare Arcas Machine for ISO 9001/ AS9100 certification. With BMSC’s support, Arcas Machine certified to ISO 9001/AS9100 first in 2013 with ‘no findings’ in their audit and successfully each year after. Bretta Kelly and colleague Debbie Hart continue to work with Denny and his team on a regular basis, as Arcas Machine contracted with BMSC for the ‘ISO/AS9100 Maintenance Package’, which entails quarterly internal audits and management reviews.

Bretta says, “We work closely with our customers, and we naturally learn not just about their business, but also about their families and hobbies. When Denny first started racing cars, I asked him if he had thought about getting sponsors to help support his racing hobby.”

Denny and Chris Kornegay first met when their businesses were located in the same A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

2015

Still wondering how the 3 companies all work together? District 7 Powder Coat is the lead sponsor of Denny’s racecar, and BMSC is the second level sponsor. Denny says, “Racing is really hard; both mentally and financially. Fortunately, with the support of District 7 and BMSC, we now have an actual Race Team and we are able to focus driving and getting faster!” Bretta says, “In addition to running BMSC, I am also a firm believer in ‘giving back to the community’. Denny has also been a generous supporter of my sons’ sports fundraising efforts. When we started a not for profit foundation, called ‘Kids Fighting For Kids’, where childrens’ fundraising efforts include generous donations to a childhood health cause, whether it is pediatric cancer, or childhood diabetes, as an example, Denny too generously supported this.” She continued, “Denny is helping to grow our ‘Kids Fighting for Kids’ by introducing me to business owners like Chris and Danny, who we know generously supported Denny Arcas.” Make certain to check out facebook. com/dennyarcasracing for pictures, updates, schedules and more info about their Race Team!

It’s funny how life works. Often unselfish acts of kindness have an unexpected affect on those who make the effort to help others. With Arcas Machine, BMSC, and District 7 Powder Coat, business is growing very well. In fact, just this month, District 7 Powder Coat ordered their 2nd powercoat oven, and they can sand blast and powdercoat very large parts, with up to 25’x’10’10’ oven capabilities.

Contact 3 companies who make it a priority to give back. For ISO and AS9100 certification consulting, contact BMSC at 602445-9400 or visit businessmsc.com. For precision machining through an ISO/AS9100 certified machine shop, contact Arcas Machine at arcasmachine.com.For powder coating, whether your parts are production, custom or large, contact District 7 Powder Coat at 480-636-1145. And contact Bretta Kelly directly to learn more about how your youngsters can give back through ‘Kids Fighting For Kids’.

Honeywell To Propose Engine Upgrade For LUH-72 Honeywell plans to offer the HTS900 engine to Airbus for a potential requirement to re-engine the LUH-72 Lakota, company executives say.

Airbus invited Honeywell to make a proposal under a request for information delivered recently, says Tom Hart, Honeywell’s vicepresident of defence and space. “Airbus is looking for what future engines could be used for that mission, if they were required,” Hart says.

The 1,000shp-class HTS900 would provide a significant power boost for the Lakota fleet, which is currently powered by 738shp Turbomeca Arriel 1E2 engines.

Airbus manages the Lakota fleet under a logistics support deal from the army, Hart says. As part of that deal, they are considering re-engining options if the army decides to add missions, or simply give the aircraft more power in its current role, he says.

ASU to Lead Lunar Mission NASA has chosen Arizona State University to design, build and operate the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper, or “LunaH-Map” for short, to orbit and create a map of water-ice on the Moon. This will be the first planetary science spacecraft mission led by ASU and NASA’s third time in the past year selecting the university to play a role in a major space project.

The spacecraft will help fulfill part of the space agency’s mission to identify the water content at the lunar South Pole in preparation for exploring and better understanding the Moon’s geologic history.

Being able to search for useful assets such as hydrogen potentially could enable astronauts to manufacture fuel and other provisions needed to sustain a crew for a journey to Mars. In turn, this could reduce the fuel and weight those team members would need to travel from Earth.

First Look: Boeing’s New 737 MAX 8 Still under construction in a dedicated new facility at Boeing’s production center in Renton, near Seattle, the first completed 737 MAX is on track to be rolled out by the end of the year.

Boeing hopes the plane’s design will give it the edge it needs to challenge the success of rival Airbus’s year-old A320neo.

Boeing says these’ll offer up to 1.8% additional fuel-efficiency improvement over today’s inline winglet designs.

“It’s just one of the features that differentiate the 737 MAX and make it an amazingly fuel-efficient machine,” says Keith Leverkuhn, vice president and general manager of the 737 MAX program.

The first 737 MAX is scheduled to fly in early 2016, with launch customer Southwest Airlines scheduled to take delivery late in 2017.

a net loss of 5.2 million good-paying American jobs. Moreover, a country’s manufacturing workforce should be expected to increase on par with growth in the overall labor force. So, given that overall U.S. employment grew 2.4 percent from 2003 to 2013, the comparative decline of manufacturing jobs over this period has actually been 32.3 percent.

At the same time, the assumption that the United States has only lost jobs in low-value-added, low-wage manufacturing industries is mistaken.

In fact, as late as 1997, America ran a modest trade surplus in advancedtechnology goods — products such as airplanes, medical devices, computers and semiconductors — but it has recorded trade deficits in this category every year since. In fact, since 1997, U.S. imports of advanced-technology goods have exceeded exports thereof by 29 percent. And while some might argue that it’s inevitable that a country’s share of gross domestic product (GDP) contributed by manufacturing declines as it moves toward a “post-industrial” knowledgebased economy (despite this not being the case for competitors such as Germany), what’s not inevitable is that a country’s share of total global manufacturing value-added should crater from 29 percent in 2001 to just 17 percent in 2012. But that’s exactly what happened to America’s manufacturing economy.

Manufacturing Day Highlights Opportunities To Bolster US Manufacturing “American manufacturing is back!” breathlessly exclaim the ebullient cheerleaders in locales such as Forbes and the Boston Consulting Group. But while U.S. manufacturing may have bounced back slightly from Great Recession-lows, the reality is that America’s manufacturing recovery remains tenuous. On this National Manufacturing Day, policymakers can and should be doing much more to stimulate the growth and competitiveness of America’s manufacturing economy.

For the truth is that America’s manufacturing economy has experienced a sustained decline over the past decade-and-a-half. U.S. manufacturing employment shrank by 30.7 percent between 2000 and 2013 — a rate of manufacturing job loss worse even than what America experienced during the Great Depression — resulting in A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

In short, America’s manufacturing sector has been underperforming its potential. But there’s no good reason why America can’t become an industrial powerhouse again, or why the manufacturing sector can’t support another 2 to 3 million more American jobs and increase its contribution to GDP from its 11 percent share today closer to Japan’s 19 percent share, or even Germany’s 22 percent share. But to power sustained American industrial renewal, it will take a coordinated set of policies around the “4Ts”: technology, tax, trade and talent.

Under this partnership, Orbital ATK is investing in the design, development and qualification of two new rocket motors with design similarities, ULA said. It said the motors would help to significantly lower the price of the motors.

Launch Provider Picks Orbital ATK Rocket Motors United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Corp and Boeing Co, said it had selected Orbital ATK as the sole provider of solid rocket motors for its Atlas V and Vulcan launch vehicles from 2019.

It follows Boeing’s announcement that ULA’s owners had rejected a $2 billion cash bid by Aerojet to take over ULA. Aerojet spokesman Glenn Mahone said the company would keep supplying solid rocket motors to ULA until 2019, and would aggressively go after a contract to replace the U.S. Air Force’s intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as potential commercial orders.

ULA said the new solid rocket boosters would be introduced on ULA’s Atlas V vehicle in late 2018 and on ULA’s new Vulcan vehicle in mid-2019.

Orbital ATK already supplies composite structures, nozzles, propellant tanks and booster separation motors for the current versions of Delta IV and Atlas V rockets.

In addition, ULA will supply two Atlas rockets to provide launch services for Orbital ATK’s Cygnus spacecraft on cargo delivery missions to the International Space Station for NASA in late 2015 and early 2016.

Orbital ATK is also developing a fully integrated third stage to launch NASA’s Solar Probe Plus mission on ULA’s Delta IV Heavy rocket in 2018. Source: Reuters

Biggest Trade Deal Since NAFTA Reached;What TPP Means For Business Businesses potentially have a lot to gain from theTrans-Pacific Partnership, the biggest trade deal since the North American FreeTrade Act was signed into law in 1993.

But the devil will be in the details of the agreement, which was reached last month between the U.S. and 11 other nations: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. The text of the lengthy deal has not been released yet, but the U.S.Trade Representative has released a summary of its 30 chapters.

“We remain committed to our solid rocket business which provides very competitive and reliable products to the marketplace,” Mahone said.

The potential is there to help U.S. businesses boost their exports. Nearly 45 percent of U.S. goods exports already go to these 11 countries, and the deal will lift 18,000 different tariffs on U.S. exports, according to the USTR.

ULA said it had agreed to a “long-term strategic partnership” with Orbital ATK, and said the company would be the only provider of solid rocket boosters for ULA’s Atlas V and Vulcan launch vehicles, effective in 2019.

“If we can get this agreement to my desk, then we can help our businesses sell more Made in America goods and services around the world, and we can help more American workers compete and win,” said President Barack Obama.

“As ULA transforms the space lift industry, strong partners such as Orbital ATK are critical to reducing cost, introducing cutting-edge innovation and continuing our focus on mission success,” Tory Bruno, ULA president and chief executive officer said in a statement.

Groups representing exporters, such as the National Association of Manufacturers and the Business Roundtable, praised U.S. officials for completing negotiations on the agreement. But they said they wanted to review the details before passing judgment on it.

ROBRAD Is Pleased To Announce Its Recently Acquired 5-Axis Machining Center Bob Gottwald founded his Veteran-Owned business 37 years ago, naming the company after his sons Doug (whose middle name is Robert) and Brad – hence Robrad. Bob was a tool and die maker by trade, and when the Gottwald family traveled from Ohio for their vacation, passing through Arizona, Bob made the decision to move to Arizona. He saw big opportunities for a tool and die maker in a state with a substantial aerospace presence. With Bob’s expertise in tool and die making, customers quickly came to Bob’s company for gages and fixtures. From the early years, Bob’s customers were Tier 1 and 2 aerospace and defense customers.

Sons Doug and Brad followed in their father’s footsteps.

Today, Doug owns Robrad and Brad owns Genuine Machine Products.

Robrad’s customers read like the ‘Who’s Who’ of aerospace and defense, including: ATK, BAE Systems, Boeing, United Technology Corporation (formerly Goodrich Aerospace), MD Helicopters, Honeywell, Safran, and Eurocopter, amongst others. The company is renowned for its ability to manufacture parts for advanced manned and unmanned land, sea and air vehicles.The parts manufactured at Robrad are typically within a 24” cube, Doug says.

Located in Mesa,AZ, Robrad’s 26,000 square foot multi-million dollar manufacturing facility includes CNC lathes, CNC mills, CNC grinding, EDM, and assembly. They utilize the latest in CAD/CAM and 3D modeling techniques for high speed CNC machining, wire EDM, precision grinding, secondary machining, and assembly.

Doug says, “Over the years, Robrad evolved from a tool and die shop, into a shop that our customers utilized for development (R&D) work, to what we are today, which is production machining of high-precision complex machined parts and assemblies that typically require the tougher alloys and aluminum.”

He continued, “We have a very strong engineering staff, and our loyal customers often come to Robrad for castings and converting cast parts to hog outs.” He continued, “Our staff is expert at machining both low temp and high temp alloys from bar stock, forgings and castings.” The management team at Robrad Tool and Engineering is key to the company’s success, Doug A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

says. Doug so values his team that he requested that several management team members be interviewed for the article.

Ron Tabor is the General Manager at Robrad, and joined the company in 2009. Ron’s 30-plus years of Aerospace experience includes Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality Engineering, Shop Management, and Supply Chain Management. Ron leads with a belief that the core of any successful business is the utilization and value of our team; and that the use of the latest technology will always lead to success. Ron says, “I believe that Robrad’s contribution to the success of our customers will determine our share in the marketplace.”

Judy Barcala, Production Controller with 18 years at the company, says, “Robrad is a great place to work, and what makes our company outstanding is that we have the very best all around team, from engineering to programming to estimating to machining. We are a cohesive team that works together for the good of our customers.We don’t take shortcuts — there is too much at stake with our customers’ often mission critical parts.”

Ken Miller is responsible for sales, new business development, and estimating at Robrad. Ken has been involved in aerospace manufacturing, largely -OEM-level fixed wing and rotor wing programs for nearly 3 decades now. Ken says, “What Robrad offers to our aerospace customers is a full-service, one-stop solution. We provide high-complexity machined detail parts and assemblies, managed BOMs, inventories, and supply chain, new product development, along with MRO and component repair.We also offer both the design and build of high-precision tooling, fixtures, and gauges. All of this is done with a flexible and collaborative approach to business, partnering with our customers to best support their specific needs.”

Robrad has been certified to ISO/AS9100 standards for more than a decade now. Their report cards are outstanding — with Boeing they are ‘Gold’ in on time delivery and ‘Silver’ in quality — with Honeywell, their rating is ‘Exceeds Performance Expectations’.

Doug has an interesting approach to purchasing machine tools for the company. “When we are investing in a new machine technology that we haven’t used before, we sometimes first purchase a

good, and his dedication to his customers is a factor in our switching to Ellison Machinery.” He continued, “I really appreciate Jason’s low key style in selling to us.”

Doug contacted several colleagues in the industry for their feedback on Ellison Machinery Co. overall, and on Haas Factory Outlet, A Division of Ellison Machinery Co. He says, “I got outstanding feedback on the service and support at Ellison, and I also heard very good feedback on the Haas machine tools.”

The HaasVF 4SSVertical Machining Center is based on the shop-proven HaasVF-4 platform 1,270 x 508 x 635mm xyz travels, and the Super VF-4 comes standard with an innovative 12,000-rpm inline direct-drive spindle, an ultra-fast tool changer and 35m/min rapids. used machine. We do this so that we can get a feel for the technology — we did this when we first needed a multi-spindle lathe.” Once the company is comfortable with the technology, and is confidant it is the right machine for the work they are doing, they typically purchase a new machine.

The team at Robrad knows how critical superior customer service is to retaining their customers — and likewise, they know that the service and support they get from their machine tool dealer after the purchase is one of the key criteria in their decision making process.

Doug says, “I was a loyal buyer from one machine tool dealer in theValley for many, many years, and I really didn’t look at other suppliers for new machine tools.

I didn’t have to, because the customer support I received was outstanding.” He continued, “There were management changes, and our machine tool dealer’s service and support deteriorated.”

It was a few years before the company’s business required the purchase of new machine tools.

Doug says, “We utilize our team of engineers, our estimators and our sales team to determine which new machines we will need, based upon the types of jobs we are winning.”

This year it was time for Robrad to upgrade their machine tool technology, and the most pressing requirement was for full 5-axis capability. Doug says, “Ellison started getting my attention a few years ago — they have both the Haas and DMG/Mori Seiki lines.”

Doug first met with Jason McCurdy, his sales engineer from Ellison Machinery, a few years ago.

“Over the years, Jason just came by periodically, even though we weren’t buying from him. He is really

Jason says, “The Haas VF 4SS is equipped with a 12,000-rpm, 40-taper spindle that features a unique inline, direct-drive system that couples the drive directly to the spindle rather than using belts. This results in smoother transmission of power, less heat and less noise than other drive systems, providing better surface finishes, extreme thermal stability and very quiet operation.”

Doug expects that Ellison Machinery Co will be the machine tool dealer of choice for Robrad going forward, and he says that he expects to purchase the DMG/Mori line that Ellison carries, as it will replace his older machines that are ideal for cutting high nickel alloys/ super alloys. These alloys are used for their outstanding corrosion and high temperature resistance.

Doug says, “Robrad offers complex machining capability in various aerospace materials including Aluminum, Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel, Titanium, Inconel, Tool Steel, and Plastics, among others. These various materials can be in the form of Round Rod, Bar Stock, Plate, Extrusion,Tube, Sand Castings, and Die Forgings. Our deep experience and skills using these different types and forms of material allow us to offer unique, full service and support to our aerospace customer base.”

Michael Sanchez joined the Robrad Tool and Engineering team after he sold his hardware distribution company several years ago. Michael is Robrad’s focal sales person for their hardware distribution business, in addition to other business development efforts. Doug says Michael travels throughout theWestern United States to support Robrad’s customers. Michael says, “Robrad was one of my customers when I owned my hardware distribution company, and I was excited to join them to help with sales. Robrad is unique among many machine shops in the complexity of the parts they make.” Michael, along with his son Michael Jr. is helping the company to launch their hardware distribution department. He says, “We are buying common hardware in bulk, that is needed to manufacture machined parts, including heli- coils, bushings, clamps, solenoids and bearings, to name a few. We use these same components in our assemblies, and we believe we can help small shops to purchase these more economically through Robrad.”

FAA War ns Of ‘A Million Drones Under People’s Christmas Trees’ A top FAA official said as many as one million small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could be sold during the upcoming US holiday season.

“The talking point is that there will be a million drones under people’s Christmas trees this year,” FAA assistant administrator-policy, international affairs and environment Rich Swayze said, adding that he has heard the one-million figure “from several sources.”

Speaking at the Airlines for America (A4A) Commercial Aviation Industry Summit in Washington DC, Swayze said FAA is trying to get in front of the sales surge to inform the public about safety issues associated with small UAVs. “We’re trying to get out and educate people about potential dangers,” he said.

“If DoD is interested in mature off-the-shelf technology solutions, it should look not just to Silicon Valley, but into the [research and development] shops and development portfolios of its industrial base,” said Jim Tinsley, a defense analyst and managing director of Avascent.

Oshkosh Defense debuted its Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected AllTerrain Vehicle (M-ATV) 6x6, a technology demonstrator vehicle that provides protection and off-road capability at about half the cost of a wheeled armored personnel carrier, said John Bryant, Oshkosh senior vice president for defense programs. The company has a rich history in M-ATV building, having delivered over 10,000 M-ATV 4x4 vehicles worldwide, including 8,700 for the US Army, he said.

“Our M-ATV 6x6 technology demonstrator was really done under Oshkosh internal research and development,” Bryant said. “We did not do it in reaction to any particular US government program. What we looked at, though, was that we see worldwide many of our military customers are looking to mechanize their infantry.”

Bryant added the new vehicle shows the company is “innovating on existing platforms” and “this is a great example of doing that.”

With the US Army soon facing a surplus of hundreds of thousands of Humvees, Textron Systems developed a set of life-extending upgrades for the iconic vehicles that it hopes will save troops’ lives as well.Textron unveiled its Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle (SCTV), which puts a monocoque and v-shaped hull onto existing vehicles, at the AUSA expo.

Swayze explained that FAA plans to send a representative to a pre-Christmas staff meeting at US retail giantWalmart to educate sales people selling small UAVs on how to inform consumers about operating UAVs safely.Walmart advertises 19 different “drones” online, ranging in price from $19.99 to $274.95. “A lot of people who don’t have a pilot background are operating these things in the airspace,” Swayze said.

“This is basically a big brother of a Humvee,” said Jonathan Dalrymple, vice president of business development withTextron Systems’ marine and land systems unit. The modifications come in five kits, which the customer can hand pick for their preferred vehicle, but all five need to be installed before a vehicle can be properly called an SCTV.

System program that was canceled in 1997. The Army’s new combat vehicle modernization strategy, revealed for the first time at AUSA, calls for mobile protected firepower (MPF) capability and the vehicle answers the call, BAE said. It combines an expeditionary, C-130 air-droppable, light tank based on technologies from the CV90 family of infantry fighting vehicles and the Bradley, as well as the M8 Armored Gun System.

The Army has put out a request for information for MPF, and “the first thing the Army is going to do is look at what is available and we are responding to that with what we can do with the M8 vehicle,” said BAE’s director, Deepak Bazaz.

Byron Callan, a defense analyst at Capital Alpha, wrote in a memo that BAE’s effort “could be an interesting program to watch in FY17-20. Again, with all Army programs, there will be a question of where the funding will come from, but it could take a competitor several $100s of millions to develop their own vehicle.”

General Dynamics Land Systems also highlighted an M-1 tank in an SEP V3 configuration that included new armor, an auxiliary power unit and line replaceable units for vehicle electronics, Callan noted. And the company showed a “Laser Stryker” capable of countering UAVs and counter-rockets, artillery and mortars, he added.

Both a Sikorsky-Boeing team and a Bell Helicopter-Lockheed Martin team showed how they are innovating existing platforms for the Joint MultiRole (JMR) technology demonstration program prior to the launch of the Army’s Future Vertical Lift program of record. Bell is building a nextgeneration tiltrotor helicopter using its experience manufacturing the V-22 Osprey for the Marine Corps.

Bell and Lockheed also showed a new cockpit design for the V280 Valor the team is building for JMR with one big touch screen spanning the front panel.

Sikorsky brought its S-97 Raider coaxial helicopter that expands on its X2

Lockheed Martin also revealed at AUSA its ICARUS counter-UAV system that uses electronic warfare and cyber capabilities against hostile drones.

And BAE’s also brought its Battleview 360 agile situational awareness system, which allows soldiers wearing a helmet-mounted monocle to “see through” their armored vehicle, made its US debut at the show. The company used its advanced jet fighter technology from the Eurofighter Typhoon helmet to develop the system that consists of a monocle and touch-screen display. The monocle has the ability to see a video feed — both visual and infrared — from the vehicle’s cameras and relevant symbology.

Investing in innovation based on existing platforms “would limit exposure to, and impacts of, major cancellations,” Avascent’s Tinsley said. “And it encourages industry innovation — it provides multiple entry points and incentives for company-funded R&D and demonstration.”

And while innovation was a big theme at AUSA, Capital Alpha’s Callan questioned the real meaning of such a buzzword. “’Innovation’ may prove to be as overused and commandeered a word as was ‘transformation.’”

eight years,” Sivaram said of his company’s ReRAM technology. “HP recognizes our expertise.”

Sivaram could not say when products will ship.The two companies will need to develop proprietary OS, firmware and application software to go along with the new non-volatile memory.

While the agreement was described as “long term,” the companies didn’t specify an exact timespan for the development partnership.

Resistive memories have been nearing production for the past couple of years, meaning HP and SanDisk are not alone in their quest to find a cheaper, more durable non-volatile replacement for DRAM. Silicon Valley start-up Crossbar expects some of its 3D Restive RAM (3D RRAM) products to be out in 2016 as memory in wearable devices, with high-density storage devices like solid-state drives arriving within 18 months after that.

Intel and Micron announced earlier this year they were partnering to develop 3D XPoint, transistor-less cross-point architecture that creates a three-dimensional checkerboard of microscopic wires where memory cells sit at the intersection of words lines and bit lines.
