ProX DMP 320 Production Metal 3D Printer

High precision, high throughput: the ProX DMP 320, developed from the outcome of nearly half-a-million prints, offers fast build turnaround times in demanding 24/7 production environments. It was designed for productivity with quickswap build modules and fast power recycling. The lowest O2 during builds (25 ppm) for exceptionally strong parts of high chemical purity. Efﬁcient consumables management and shared ancillary equipment lower the total cost of ownership. Thousands of hours of parameter optimization ensure predictable and repeatable print quality. The ProX DMP 320’s robust, streamlined print process means you can print virtually any geometry and avoid trial-and-error steps.

Features: ■ Build envelope capacity (W x D x H): 10.82” x 10.82” x 16.53” (275 x 275 x 420 mm) ■ Adjustable layer thickness: Presets at 30 and 60 μm ■ Minimum feature size: 100 μm

■ Minimum wall thickness: 150μm ■ Typical accuracy: ±0.1-0.2% with ± 50 μm minimum ■ Interchangeable build modules

“The reason why it is so difficult for existing firms to capitalize on disruptive innovations is that their processes and their business model that make them good at the existing business actually make them bad at competing for the disruption”. Clayton Christensen

Southwest Waterjet & Laser Is Now Certified To ISO 9001: 2015! Photography and Graphics Provided by The Company Employees.

A disruptive technology is one that displaces an established technology and shakes up the industry or a groundbreaking product that creates a completely new industry. Characteristics of disruptive businesses, at least in their initial stages, can include: lower gross margins, smaller target markets, and simpler products and services that may not appear as attractive as existing solutions when compared against traditional performance metrics. Clayton Christensen coined the term , and it is interesting that Thesaurus offer synonyms such as ‘unruly’, ‘upsetting’, and ‘troublesome’.

Just think about disruptive technologies in past decades: Email transformed the way we communicate, largely displacing letter writing and disrupting the postal and greeting card industries. The personal computer (PC) displaced the typewriter and forever changed the way we work and communicate. Personal computing disrupted the television industry, as well as a great number of other activities. Cell phones disrupted the telecom industry, and cloud computing has been a hugely disruptive technology in the business world, displacing many resources that would conventionally have been located in-house or provided as a traditionally hosted service. And more recently, Social networking has had a major impact on the way we communicate and — especially for personal use — disrupting telephone, email, instant messaging and event planning. Today, when people talk about the next disruptive technology, they often say, “This will be the ‘Uber’ of whatever technology they are addressing. Uber continues to be a disruption to cab drivers in every major city in the world. Just read in this issue. Facebook joined the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), the aerospace and defense industry’s nearly century-old trade association and lobby group. As AIA states, “Could the upstart social media provider give Boeing — the 100-year-old aircraft OEM giant — or Lockheed — the top Pentagon contractor by revenue — a run for their money in their own markets?” Would you bet against it if Facebook tried? And we can read that Boeing wants to get into solar for their industry, as the aerospace giant just filed a patent for a ‘Solar Powered Airplane’. Intel is looking carefully into the potential for self-driving vehicles with their recent acquisition of San Francisco-based Itseez Inc. Itseez specializes in computer vision algorithms and implementation for products such as vehicles, security systems and robotics. And what about drones? There are companies that have been able to profit from the revolutionary advances in drone technology. Will the eventual winners be industries in the defense sector — companies like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin? Or will it be innovators, such as Amazon and Google, which are today investing in ways that drones can be useful to their business.

Students Will Manufacture Aircraft Parts In Unique Partnership With Workforce Development Specialists When Hi-Tech Machining & Engineering was asked to manufacture parts for an oil separator assembly for North America’s biggest jet maker,Vice President Jeremy Schalk turned to a surprising partner to help fill the order: Desert View High School. Schalk knew better than most the capabilities of students and their instructor at Desert View High School, located in the Sunnyside Unified School District. He is a founding member of the Southern Arizona Manufacturing Partners (SAMP), a consortium of area manufacturers who in 2012 came to Arizona@Work (formerly the Pima County One-Stop Career Center) for help in filling the critical shortage of skilled young machinists. Arizona@Work reached out to area high schools and Pima Community College to revamp their machining curriculum and establish a pipeline of students ready to enter the field. Students pair their classroom training with internships at SAMP companies, many of whom go on to hire the students full time.That’s what Schalk would like to do. The teamwork is typical of “Youth Career Connect,” a partnership of Arizona@Work/Pima County, the Pima County JointTechnical Education District (JTED), the Sunnyside and Tucson Unified School Districts, Pima Community College, and nonprofit partner,TucsonYouth Development that connects youth to STEM-related careers.Arizona@Work/Pima County is the facilitator and administrator of the U.S. Department of Labor-funded project on behalf of Innovation Frontier Arizona. The program at Desert View is the only Arizona high school program on the Manufacturing Institute’s “M List,” which recognizes best practices in manufacturing education. The National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) also has accredited Desert View’s program — a rigorous, threestep process that involves registering the program with NIMS, completing a self-study analysis and passing an on-site audit. David Morgan chairs the machine tool technology advisory committee at Pima Community College after serving as the director of business development for NIMS, where he worked with community colleges across the country to implement their credentialing. He said the pathway these Pima County partners have created for students should serve as a model for other communities. Desert View High School and Tucson Magnet High School feed students into the industrial technology program starting in their junior year.YCC also offers pathways to careers in bioscience, health technology and aviation. Desert View’s instructor of precision manufacturing and drafting is Cesar Gutierrez. Each fall, a new group of juniors will be encouraged by teachers and counselors to join the program.

Consolidation, New Competition Both Ramping Up In A&D Facebook is a member of the Aerospace Industries Association.This giant of the technology world—and current standard-bearer of Silicon Valley’s garage-to-riches ethos embodied by Apple and HewlettPackard—is immersing itself in the heritage aerospace and defense industry’s nearly century-old trade association and lobby group. With a market-capital valuation of almost $342 billion, Facebook dwarfs the combined value of Boeing (under $83 billion) and Lockheed Martin (about $73 billion). Could the upstart social media provider, famous for getting us all to “like” things online, give Boeing—the 100-year-old aircraft OEM giant—or Lockheed—the top Pentagon contractor by revenue—a run for their money in their own markets? Would you bet against it if Facebook tried? A paradox is manifesting across Western A&D: Consolidation and new competition are ramping up concurrently. While the two trends have never been mutually exclusive, each traditionally has hit A&D before in pronounced but separate waves. Starting in World War II, for instance, countless large U.S. corporations entered A&D as a permanent defense industry was established. In the 1990s, after the infamous “Last Supper,” many got out. Last year saw record mergers and acquisitions by deal value, thanks in part to Lockheed buying Sikorsky Aircraft for $9 billion, along with a slew of entrants to well-defined subsectors. Facebook getting into UAVs, for example; or SpaceX with military space launches. In other cases, new entrants long in the making are suddenly, finally, bursting to the top. In late May, one of Moody’s Investors Service’s top A&D analysts, Senior Vice President Russell Solomon, noted that Bombardier’s landmark win of a large order from Delta Air Lines for its new C Series marked a paradigm shift from the current commercial airliner market. “It’s going to take a good bit more time to fully develop, but the beginning of the end of the long-running A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

•

36 • July / Aug 2016

Boeing/Airbus duopoly is finally upon us,” Solomon says. According to his report, “The Gloves Come Off as Boeing and Airbus Fight More Than Just Each Other for Share,” Airbus and Boeing market shares have hovered at about 40-60% for most of the past decade. But Airbus has been winning more narrowbody orders and is poised to catch Boeing in total deliveries by 2018. Boeing, meanwhile, should at least achieve parity in 2019—but it will remain sandwiched between an increasingly dominant Airbus at the larger end (more seats) and encroaching competition at the lower end of the lucrative, high-volume narrowbody market segment. Solomon admits it is an “uphill battle” for Bombardier, but regardless it means the same thing for Boeing: more competition. In turn, Bombardier CEO and President Alain Bellemare is feeling bullish these days. “Winning the Delta order really changed the game,” he told a Wings Club luncheon in Manhattan in May. “We have strong momentum.” Indeed, momentum may be the best way to describe the changes in the competitive landscape across A&D. For starters, there continues to be movement in M&A, as illustrated by TransDigm Group’s announcement late last month that it will buy Data Device Corp. for $1 billion from private equity company Behrman Capital. Overall, many investment banks and consulting companies forecast that while 2016 may not break the value record set last year, the number of transactions could go up. “In aerospace, recent activity has been mostly focused in the materials suppliers, bolt-ons and aftermarket names. In defense, there have been several mergers in the small- and mid-cap space, as well as some portfolio reshaping among the primes,” RBC Capital Markets reported in April. “Going forward, we would generally expect to see more of the same.” Momentum in new competition is picking up, too. For now, the old guard in each subsector remains on top. But where challengers once trailed at a distance, they are increasingly making themselves felt, such as Bombardier. This type of competition is even spurring consolidation.

How about OEMs such as Boeing and General Electric muscling into the MRO aftermarket? It helps explain why BBA Aviation completed a $2.1 billion acquisition of Landmark Aviation from the Carlyle Group earlier this year. After decades of watching the usual cast of characters, Western A&D isgetting a makeover—“like” it or not.

Manuf actur ing Unexpectedly Accelerates Amid U.S. Growth Signs Signs of better U.S. growth are cropping up, including in manufacturing, which has been a laggard of the economy. Activity at factories unexpectedly expanded at a faster pace in May, helped by an increase in orders, the Institute for Supply Management reported last month. The Tempe, Arizonabased group’s index climbed to 51.3 from 50.8 in April, while the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 81 economists called for 50.3. Readings greater than 50 indicate growth. Factories are using a pickup in bookings from the U.S. and abroad to help trim stockpiles, laying the ground for bigger gains in production later in the year. The recent stabilization in oil prices also will probably help stem the slump among energy producers that has contributed to weak business investment, and growth this quarter is set to get a boost from household purchases, which posted a better-thanforecast gain in April. “Manufacturing is starting

to look better,” said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James Financial Inc. in St. Petersburg, Florida, who had projected an ISM factory reading of 51.2. “It’s an encouraging sign that things aren’t unraveling. Ultimately, production is going to increase because of stronger consumer demand.” The new orders gauge was little changed at 55.7 compared with 55.8 in April. A measure of production cooled to 52.6 from 54.2. Estimates for the manufacturing index in the Bloomberg survey ranged from 49 to 52.Twelve of 18 industries surveyed by the purchasing managers’ group reported growth in May.

In other signs that the industry is turning around, the index of supplier deliveries jumped to 54.1, the highest level since December 2014, from 49.1. A reading greater than 50 means shipments slowed, which often happens when suppliers have trouble keeping up with demand.The ISM’s gauge of factory inventories fell to 45 from 45.5. The index has been lower than 50 for almost a year as producers trim the amount of goods on hand. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

SOUTHWEST WATERJET & LASER Certifies To ISO 9001:2015

Southwest Waterjet & Laser is pleased to announce that it has just certified to the newest ISO standard – ISO9001:2015! The company is celebrating 9 years in business this year, and it continues to grow year over year. The company, owned by Mike and Debra Gudin, started as a waterjet company in 2007, and today it owns 4 Omax waterjet machines, including its newest acquisition, the 5 axis A-Jet®. 3 years ago, Mike made the decision to add new capabilities for their customers, and they purchased a Trumpf 4000 Watt Trulaser. Mike says, “Waterjet cutting is the right process for many applications (thick stainless and aluminum, and if the material is better produced without heat), but there are times when laser cutting is a better, more cost effective solution. With the addition of our Trumpf Trulaser, we can help make the best machining decision for our customers’ parts.” Once the company added laser capabilities, they renamed A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

themselves ‘Southwest Waterjet & Laser’. Though by necessity, growth over the past years has meant regularly adding new employees, the core team, which includes Mike’s 3 sons, and the core team each has an average of a nearly a decade in the industry. The newest waterjet, the Omax A-Jet, allows SWWJ & Laser to cut up to 59 degree angles, and Mike says it has expanded the number of parts they can waterjet for their current customers, and it has allowed the company to take on new customers. “Our customer requirements have driven each of our machine tool purchases”, Mike says, “and today we are operating all machines on 2 shifts, and often with weekend staffing.” He continued, “In our quest to continue to take the company to the next level, we made the decision last year to pursue ISO certification.” Mike had received calls from consultants over the years who offered to

documentation will lead to increased accountability for each and every employee. Mike adds, “It will allow the company to run smoother, and provide even better service to our customers.” Aaron Herrera, employee since the company opened, says, “I am so proud to be a part of this company – to be a member of a team that has grown like we have. It feels very good to continue to set better and better standards, and to take the steps to be a better and better supplier to our customers. It takes a lot to strive for continuous improvement, and we are doing that here at SWWJ & Laser.”

support his company’s efforts to achieve ISO certification, but when it came time to make the step, Mike contacted Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC. “I have seen her for years in the A2Z Manufacturing magazine, and I always see the write-ups on customers who have utilized her services.” He added, “I also liked the fact that BMSC was local.” After a phone discussion with Bretta late last year, Mike made the decision to certify with Bretta and BMSC. Bretta and her colleague Debbie Hart interviewed every member of the SWWJ & Laser team to fully understand how each individual performed their jobs. Mike says, “Once she did her evaluation, Bretta told us we were 90% there in terms of the processes we would need for our ultimate certification.” And though all 17+ employees were at times involved in the ISO certification process, there was a core team of 4 that led the task. Mauricio Renovato, Quality Manager, says, “Our experience with BMSC, and with Bretta, was outstanding. We found her to be straight forward, and she always explained the new terminology of ISO in layman’s terms. She worked within our processes, strengthening what we did well, rather than trying to change us.” The SWWJ & Laser team just achieved their ISO9001:2015 cer tification in May. They implemented their system to the Aerospace Standard and are compliant to AS9100C for their aerospace clients. When asked how it will change their business, the team all agreed that the formal

Mauricio says, “You won’t hear ‘That’s not my job’ from anyone in this company.We cut such a variety of materials, including titanium and aluminum, but also more exotic materials like granite and we’ve even cut meteorite rocks that are used by an artist to make jewelry.” And while their waterjet tables allow for parts as large as 6’ x 13’, with a ‘We will do what it takes’ attitude and a little creativity, the company has successfully cut parts as large as 20’. “We make parts on time, and we do what we say we will do”, Matt Smith says. Here are just a few examples of what SWWJ & Laser’s customers have to say about them...

“These are the best waterjet parts we have ever seen!” “You guys always do a great job!” “The aluminum panels you waterjet cut look great! We just wanted to thank you for the great work!” “Parts were inspected and passed with flying colors! Awesome job” “The quantities, materials and quality I picked up yesterday are great! Thank you for working through that rough spot for me!” To learn more about SWWJ & Laser, and how they can help you with your waterjet and laser requirements, as an ISO 9001:2015 company, contact them at 480-306-7748 or visit swwj-laser.com To learn more about how BMSC can help you to achieve ISO and AS9100 certification, contact them at 602-445-9400 or visit BusinessMSC.com A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

to build the capacity to move that many airplanes through the system as they reach 6,000 hours,” he added. “We think we’re well positioned working with the Navy to build that program.” In the Super Hornet overhaul, Boeing wants to avoid the problems encountered in the legacy Hornet SLEP, a program to extend the aging fighters’ service l i fe t o 1 0 , 0 0 0 flight hours. The N av y f o u n d i t had insufficient engineering and manufacturing capacity to overhaul badly outdated aircraft. Boeing took two Super Hornets to its engineering lab in St. Louis, Missouri, to “tear them apart to understand the material condition,” said Gillian. “Every airplane you open up has different challenges.” These two aircraft are re f e r re d t o a s “learning aircraft.” “SLEP and aftermarket work is profitable business, no question,” said aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia, vice president of the Teal Group. In terms of preserving an industrial base, however, it’s not enough, he said. “Creating new

products, designing integrating and manufacturing new combat aircraft is a different skill set. It’s profitable but different from an industrial capability standpoint.” Boeing has a large infrastructure, and “they should take advantage of that to grow services,” Aboulafia said. “It’s really profitable and feels really good but it’s not the same. … In the world of combat aircraft it’s not the same as cranking out 48 Super Hornets a year, that’s for sure.” Byron Callan, defense industry analyst at Capital Alpha Partners, projected that Boeing’s defense sales will be mostly flat in the 2017-2020 timeframe based on the funding outlook for major aircraft programs. Executives are playing down the impact of losing the Air Force B-21 bomber contract, and are predicting future wins in Air Force procurements like the T-X trainer and the JSTARS surveillance aircraft, but those are relatively small programs. Absent big foreign military sales deals for F/A-18s and F-15s, Callan said, Boeing faces “potentially large sales holes to plug as legacy fighter programs end.” One of Boeing’s most successful Navy aviation programs, the P-8 surveillance plane, is scheduled to wind down in fiscal year 2019, “so that program too will rely on international orders to keep the line open.” Aviation support and services, said Callan, “remains a valuable franchise segment for Boeing as it’s a mix of spares and support for in-production aircraft and helicopters, performance-based logistics and simulation and training.”

she recalled, as Raytheon employees applauded. “It was one of my most satisfying moments on the floor of the House.” Hundreds of jobs could be added at the company if the National Defense Authorization Act receives approval from the Senate and President Barack Obama, according to an official with the company, one of Arizona’s largest employers. The episode was one among a number of victories McSally, a former Air Force pilot, has notched in her first term. In the military spending bill, she and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., fought to preserve and increase spending for a variety of defense programs. “We’re very thankful to Sen. McCain on the Senate Armed Services Committee and Congresswoman McSally on the House Armed Services Committee for leading the charge to restore funding to programs like Tomahawk” missiles and other weapons, Raytheon’s missile systems president Taylor Lawrence said. “We hit the dip of sequestration, and we’re coming out of it,” Lawrence said, referring to the across-the-board cuts that occurred in 2013 after Congress failed to agree on a targeted deficitreduction plan. “As long as sequestration doesn’t return, we expect to grow.” But approval of the defense spending isn’t certain. The White House has issued a veto threat, accusing Republicans of budget gimmicks that divert wartime funds into routine spending. Last year, Obama vetoed the first NDAA bill that came to his desk. McSally said the $18 billion taken from wartime funds is necessary to “stop the bleeding” in the regular military budget.

McSally Wins ‘Knife Fight’ Over Defense Spending Challenging a member of her own party over the national defense-spending bill was like going into a “knife fight,” U.S. Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., told Tucson Raytheon Co. employees.

But a passionate floor speech, which drew on her military experience, and personal appeals to colleagues as they voted helped produce the results she sought, McSally said. She helped defeat an amendment that could have slowed Raytheon’s work on a missile system, hampered the military and cost taxpayers by favoring a U.S. supplier that had performed poorly in the past, she said at a town-hall meeting held at the company’s facility. “We had some people switch their votes. ...

“We’re going to hold that line pretty strongly,” she said. “And then we’re just going to have to deal with (Obama) — whether he’s really willing to put our military and the warfighter at risk over this issue or whether he’s going to support what his co-equal branch of government came up with ... and sign that bill into law.” McSally said she has requested to join the small conference committee that will hash out differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill — a high-profile role — but she has not received confirmation yet.

Boeing’s Solar-Powered Airplane Looks Ridiculous, But It Might Just Be Crazy Enough To Work The first solar-powered airplane completed an intercontinental flight four years ago last month. NASA’s Pathfinder made headlines with its pilotless, sustained flights in 2014. Just two months ago, a solar plane made history after it traversed the Pacific Ocean. It may be a slow and steady progression, but the solar-powered airplane race is heating up. Now, Boeing wants to get into the mix. The aerospace giant just filed a patent for a “Solar Powered Airplane,” that borrows aspects from NASA’s design while innovating to overcome some of the Pathfinder’s failures. Boeing’s plane sports nine propellers along it’s staple-shaped frame, which is essentially one giant wing with upturned edges. There’s no cockpit and no pilot on board. Instead, the plane is controlled remotely from the ground.

Manufacturing Production Climbs 8% In April New figures from the Central Statistics Office show that industrial manufacturing production rose by 8.1% in April compared to March. On an annual basis, production increased by 4.7%. The CSO said that the “modern sector” which includes chemicals, pharmaceuticals, computers and electronic equipment A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

showed a monthly jump of 16.8% in April and an annual increase of 6.7%. It noted that basic pharmaceutical products and preparations rose by by 31.7% in the month and 3.8% on a yearly basis. Meanwhile, computer, electronic and optical products increased by 10.3% monthly and increased by 54.2% year on year. Commenting on the figures, Merrion economist Alan McQuaid said there had been worries about the drop in sterling against the euro this year and its potential negative impact on manufacturing exports, of which just under a half go to the UK. “Indeed, if “Brexit” were to happen, then the biggest losers would be the indigenous side, though we expect Britain to vote in the June 23 referendum to stay in the European Union”, the economist stated. He also said that while concerns remain about the underlying health of the global economy, particularly China, overall growth will hold up this year, particularly in the US and UK, which is good news.

Your Precision Machining and Complete Fabrication Shop Announces Certification To ISO 9001 : 2015!

McFarland Machine & Engineering, co-owned by brothers Craig and Tim McFarland, is pleased to announce that it recently certified to ISO 9001: 2015. This is the latest revision of the ISO standards. McFarland is also compliant to AS9100 Rev. C Aerospace Standard. You will have a difficult time finding a small manufacturing entity that offers as many capabilities as you will find at McFarland Machine & Engineering. The company is expert in precision fabrication, machining, welding, waterjet cutting, Blanchard grinding, and their equipment includes 22 mills and 10 lathes (all CNC), 2 lasers, a waterjet, a complete welding department, press brakes, CMM inspection equipment, a CNC turret punch press, as well as Blanchard, surface and O/D grinding machines. The McFarland brothers say that their business is divided nearly evenly (50/50) across machining and fabrication, and they estimate that a majority of their customers (~60%) utilize their shop for both capabilities. Craig and Tim started the company more than 15 years ago, and the two have a combined ~60 years of machining and fabrication experience, heavily in the aerospace industry. Craig says, “Since we opened for business, we have never seen a down year. Even during the recession which started in 2008, we were busy manufacturing parts for the defense industry.” The McFarland brothers believe strongly in funding new capital investments through the business profits. Tim says, “We own all of our machines outright, and we just finalized the contract where we purchased our 2 buildings, totaling ~26,000 square footage in space. We expect to have the buildings paid off in a 5 year period.” While McFarland Machine just completed its ISO 9001: 2015 certification recently as well as compliance to AS9100 Rev. C, the company has long been graded by some of its larger customers — and the company is consistently rated ‘A+’ on its quality and on-time delivery. In just the past year, McFarland Machine & Engineering has increased its machinery performance and automation. Craig says, “We moved to multi-axis lathe capabilities, and just purchased our Amada FO 3015NT 4000-watt laser. The Amada FO 3015NT 4000-watt laser allows us to work faster on our customers’ projects. In concert with our Amada AMS-3015 Laser Shuttle System™, we have greatly reduced our lead times A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

and improved our product quality. Utilizing the latest in beam conservation, the F0315NT has a clean, precise cut powered by its proprietary cooling and oxygen removal system.” Tim added, “Where previously with our laser equipment, we could cut 58” per minute, we can now cut 148” per minute.” Both Tim and Craig say that not only has the new laser improved their productivity through automation, it also allows for a better quality finish on the end products. McFarland’s latest technology acquisition also increased their ability to cut much thicker materials — from previously 5/16” to now 3/4”.

Quick turnaround is something the McFarland Machine Company continuously strives for, and today the company typically turns a product around in 2 weeks from receipt of order. Tim says, “Our investment in new machine tool technology enables us to keep these aggressive lead-times for our customers.” While the McFarland brothers favor Japanese machines, they are not tied to any one particular builder. Tim says, “We have Matsuura, Mori Seiki, Amada, and Okuma machines in our portfolio, and our largest vertical mill offers customers capacity up to 33”y x 85”x 30”z. Any machine shop owner knows that key to consistent quality is retention of employees. McFarland Machine & Engineering employs a team of approximately 24, and Tim says several employees have been with the company since its first year in business. Craig says, “We know that excellent benefits are critical to our employees’ well being, and we offer a 401K program where we match employees contributions to maximum allowable limits. We also offer medical insurance and tuition reimbursement for our employees.” A great work environment has to include teamwork and camaraderie, and the McFarland brothers, who are avid fishermen, involve their employees in the sport either with fishing trips or in their frequently scheduled ‘Fish Fry’ luncheons. Customers too are invited to the delicious ‘McFarland Fish Fry’ events. Craig says that no one customer pushed the company to certify to the ISO 9001 standard – it is just one of the things the owners have wanted to do for some time. Late last year, they engaged with RevAZ, a program of the Arizona Commerce Authority.Tim says, “Lauri Larson of RevAZ was key to our decision to pursue certification.” To prepare for ISO certification, McFarland Machine utilized consultant BMSC, owned by Bretta Kelly. Tim says, “Bretta and her colleague Debbie Hart were outstanding.They were easy to work with, and they helped simplify the process.” Craig added, “Both Tim and I are not just owners, we also run machines, which makes it hard to dedicate a substantial amount of any one day to the ISO certification process — BMSC was exceptional at allowing us to work the ISO process at a pace that worked for our business.” McFarland Machine successfully passed the audit to become ISO 9001: 2015 recently, and they passed with flying colors – no minors and no majors! Both Craig and Tim say that the certification will help them in so many ways. For one, Craig says, “Larger companies will work with us because of our traceability and our processes in place – it’s like a college degree for a new degreed individual seeking employment – it shows you took the time to take yourself or your business to the next level.” The two also agree it is helping internal operations dramatically – and it is giving them a better understanding of profitability, including their scrap rates, on-time delivery, and employee performance, just to name a few. Craig says, “I think ISO certification will actually flow down to our bottom line very quickly.” For an extremely financially stable manufacturing entity, with both fabrication and machining capabilities, and one who demonstrates willingness to continuously invest in technology to improve their operations, and now ISO 9001: 2015 certified and AS9100 Rev C compliant, contact McFarland Machine at 480-966-1388 or visit McFarlandMachine.com To learn more about how ISO/AS9100 certification can help your business, contact BMSC at BusinessMSC.com or call (602) 445-9400.

Musk Plans Human Mars Missions As Soon As 2024 A Mars mission architecture SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk will unveil in September will call for a series of missions starting in 2018 leading up to the first crewed mission to the planet in 2024, Musk said.

GMA GARNET GROUP when your abrasive matters!

In an on-stage interview at the Code Conference, Musk repeated earlier comments that he would announce his architecture for human missions to Mars in September at the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico. That plan would start with the uncrewed launch of a Dragon spacecraft in 2018 on a Mars landing mission dubbed Red Dragon. SpaceX announced April 27 it would fly that mission working in cooperation with NASA, who will provide technical expertise but no funding in exchange for data from the spacecraft’s Mars landing attempt.

Musk didn’t disclose who the customer would be for the first launch of a Falcon 9 with a reused first stage, although company officials recently said a couple of potential customers had expressed interest. SpaceX has now landed four Falcon 9 first stages, although some will be used for ground tests and the one from the first landing, in December 2015, will be put on display outside the company’s headquarters. 6:33 AM Musk also said the first Falcon Heavy launch was still scheduled before the end of the year. That launch, he said, would not carry a payload, despite earlier reports that where was some interest from customers in flying on that vehicle. He also addressed the lengthy development delays of the Falcon Heavy, whose first launch was originally scheduled to take place several years ago. “It’s not like we had a lot of pressing customers who wanted us to launch this,” he said. In fact, at least one company, ViaSat, decided to purchase a launch on an Ariane 5 because of Falcon Heavy delays, reserving its Falcon Heavy contract for a later mission. Musk also said that SpaceX, which has launched three Falcon 9 missions in less than two months, would maintain a high launch rate. “We’re sort of backlogged on our launches and we’re trying to get them out as quickly as we can,” he said, referring to the June 2015 Falcon 9 launch vehicle that halted launches for nearly six months. “The launches will take place every two to four weeks. That’s quite a high launch cadence,” he said of the company’s upcoming schedule. Next year will also see the debut of the Dragon v2, also known as Crew Dragon, that SpaceX is developing for NASA’s commercial crew program. That vehicle will be used for transporting NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station, and a version of it will also fly Mars missions.

strong footholds in those new standards. Intel announced the acquisition in a blog post by its head of the Internet of Things business unit Doug Davis. “This acquisition furthers Intel’s efforts to win in IoT market segments like automotive and video, where the ability to electronically perceive and understand images paves the way for new innovation and opportunity,” Davis wrote. He added that Itseez will be a “key ingredient” for Intel’s Internet of Things strategy. The Internet of Things business unit has become more prominent for the chipmaker as it broadens its focus beyond the shrinking PC market and embraces computing everywhere. The company’s broad restructuring announced last month emphasizes investment in the growth areas of data centers and Internet of Things. Intel wants its chips and other technologies to power the connectivity of every device plus run the data centers behind those devices. Itseez technology will play a critical role in Intel’s portfolio of products for autonomous vehicles. Davis, in his post, noted the Internet of Things evolution is occurring in three phases: by making every object “smart” by injecting sensors, then adding connectivity to those objects and, finally, adding intelligence to allow those objects to make decisions in real time — which requires being able to “see.”

Intel Buys Computer Vision Company Aimed At Self-Driving Cars Intel is beefing up its computer vision skills with the acquisition of San Francisco-based Itseez Inc. While terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, it looks like the company will be part of the chipmaker’s Internet of Things business, which has become a key focus for Intel. Itseez specializes in computer vision algorithms and implementation for products such as vehicles, security systems and robotics.The company’s founders include a pair of Intel alums: President Victor Erukhimov and CFO Sergey Molinov.

“This is the ‘autonomous era,’ and machine learning and computer vision will become critical for all kinds of machines — cars among them,” Davis wrote.

Honeywell Aerospace Developing Cybersecurity Te c h F o r Ve h i c l e Manufacturers

Itseez, which also provides consulting services, was founded in 2005. The company also plays a key role in OpenCV and OpenVX, which seek to create standards for computer vision technology to work across platforms.

As more cars become internet-connected and can succumb to cybersecurity hacks, Phoenix-based Honeywell Aerospace is working with vehicle manufacturers to use its security technology in consumer and commercial cars.

of using Honeywell’s technology were just some of the topics being discussed last month at Honeywell’s International Media Day in Phoenix. Since 2011, Honeywell has been looking at ways to commercialize its technology into cars, said Christopher Greentree, Honeywell’s general manager of automotive software.

the information into the car’s system and wanting the vehicle to pull over so they can rob the car’s owners. Another example is GPS spoofing where a hacker can put in erroneous directions to make a vehicle drive into a certain area to rob the vehicle. These three pieces of the cybersecurity vehicle puzzle are the main offerings Honeywell is working on with vehicle manufacturers.

“The challenge is the car is becoming more computerized,” said Greentree, who works out of Honeywell’s Switzerland facility. “Before, no car was connected.”

This technology has been used for years in various applications, including for aerospace, military, connected homes, refineries and industrial plants.

This connectivity makes drivers’ lives easier, but is susceptible to cybersecurity problems, whether it’s a commercial or consumer vehicle.

This Software Brain For Coal-Fired Power Plants Could Help Eliminate 500 Million Tons Of CO2

Honeywell is developing three of its technologies to work in vehicles. The Intrusion Detection System is essentially virus detection software that looks at every message the car’s computer is receiving to see if it’s a valid request. This system is used for security now at manufacturing, oil refineries and other industrial plants. The Vehicle Security Module is like a wi-fi router for the car. The module is a dedicated way to detect, report and protect any problems. The company is developing this now for high-volume vehicles, such as those used in the military. The Security Operation Center is a way for a vehicle to detect attacks, essentially “phone home,” and a human analyst will determine if the issue is an attack or simply a vehicle failure. For example, if the car’s sensors are saying the car has two flat tires at the same time, they can determine if this is true or if a hacker is driving next to the car, putting

LGM Offers Superior Precision Machining Services At Cost Effective Prices

LGM Owners Greg Leitner and Pete Giefing started their business in mid-2003, and for the past 13 years they continue to be ideal business partners.The two grew up together in Kansas City, and both were mentored by a processing engineer named George Giefing, who operated a manufacturing facility in Kansas for many decades. They were both trained by a professional and conduct themselves in the same manner as they were trained in both business and ethics. More than a decade ago, their families moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Greg worked for local machine shops, and then started a machine shop renting machines from a machine shop owner. “I brought in new customers, machined their parts, and received a percentage of the sales/machining I produced.” Learning early on that it was difficult to find qualified machinists, when he made the decision to start a machine shop, Greg contacted a longtime friend from Kansas. “I knew what a great machinist he was and I knew I could trust him.” Pete relocated to Phoenix and the company the two started was called LGM, and it opened for business 13 years ago in 2003.

they tend to hire inexperienced employees, who they can train. “Everyone here is cross trained, and they can program, set-up and run multiple machines operate inspection equipment and complete inspection forms.” In fact, LGM has a ratio of 3 machines to each of their employees. Their shop also manages a lean operation with their modular tooling – every lathe can utilize the interchangeable tooling that they own. The first machine introduced to the business was a Haas SL-10, and most of the machines in their shop are Haas machines. The company does have a mixture of other machines, including a Mitsubishi wire EDM that they recently purchased. Their most recent Haas purchase was their Haas VF2-SS. “Haas machines have really helped us to grow our business. They are good, sturdy machines, and we hardly ever have any problems with the machines. If a machine ever goes down, the Ellison Machinery team has a technician out within a day.” The owners agree proper care of their machines at LGM is standard practice — each machine is treated no different than an automobile

The two partners stated that, “Thankfully we’ve never had to hire a sales person for the company, nor have we knocked on doors much for new customers. Our business comes from referrals, and we hear from our customers that they appreciate that we do things right the first time.” The owners pride themselves on integrity, loyalty and hard work (they still work 12-14 hours each day). They sleep well at night knowing they have treated their customers and employees well, and produced the finest products for them. Their shop believes in recruiting young talent for their team, and A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

and they run them at moderate speeds. That, coupled with the fact that they can buy 2 Haas machines for the price of 1 machine from another builder, has been a key factor in their success, they say. They added, “In 10 years, those machines that cost double the price of a Haas machine are worth about the same as a used Haas machine!” LGM owners take a very prudent approach to their business growth. “Customers drive our requirement for a new machine”, and they invest their resources into the business where the capitol will yield the best possible results for both the business and the customer. LGM has been working with Chris Hansen, Business Manager at Ellison Machinery Company, for the past couple of years. “Chris not only provides outstanding support of our company, but he shares some of the same hobbies as we do. Chris knows the business side and he knows the machines very well and his experience is appreciated. Chris not only has a degree in manufacturing engineering, but he also has run a machine shop himself, and he is attentive without being pushy.” LGM appreciates both Chris and the excellent support structure that comes from doing business with Ellison Machinery.

What’s next for LGM? They say, “A new building or a possible moon base will soon be needed, as the company is at capacity with their machines in their 6000 square foot facility. We serve the Aerospace and Commercial industries, including the firearms and commercial market, and we don’t have the overhead or costs associated with certifications. Our company is, however, ISO 9001 and AS9100 compliant today, so you still realize the benefits of precision processes and this additionally allows us to remain very cost competitive.”

Solar Group AimsTo Amend Arizona Constitution To Block Future Fees A solar group is aiming to get a measure on the ballot in Arizona that would change the state constitution to prevent any further fees on solar customers. The group, headed by former Arizona Corporation Commission Chairwoman Kris Mayes and backed by solar companies inside and outside the state, aim to amend the constitution to block the fees proposed by investor-owned utilities such as Arizona Public Service Co. and Tucson Electric Power, according to the Arizona Republic. Eliel Ortega, an installer with Sun Valley Solar Solutions, carries a panel on a rooftop in Gilbert. The solar industry and APS have been fighting for several years about fees. The utility claims solar customers are pushing more costs on to non-solar customers, and it needs to have those customers pay for more of their share of the electric generation and grid. APS is expected to introduce a rate case this summer where it tackles net metering, the process by which solar customers are paid for generating excess electricity that is then used by the utility. “There was not one similar property available for sale at the time in the Southeast Valley,” Koplan said. Parker and Koplan completed 22 industrial sales last year and 17 deals so far this year that have closed or are in the escrow. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

A May 31 static fire test of the new first stage of Orbital AT K ’s A n t a re s launc h vehicle should clear the way for that rocket to return to flight in early July. An Antares first stage, held down on the pad at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island, Virginia, fired for 30 seconds at 5:30 p.m. Eastern May 31. The test was designed to verify the performance of the rocket’s RD-181 engines and associated systems, as well as the pad itself. In a statement, Orbital ATK said that engineers would spend the next several days reviewing the data from the test before declaring the test a success. However, company officials indicated that the test did go as expected. “Early indications show the upgraded propulsion system, core stage and launch complex all worked together as planned,” said Mike Pinkston, the general manager and vice president of the Antares program at Orbital ATK, in a statement, adding that it “appears to be a successful test.”

Should that ongoing analysis confirm that the test was a success, which may take up to two weeks, Orbital ATK expects to move ahead with plans for the launch of a Cygnus cargo mission to the International Space Station on an Antares. That mission, designated OA-5, would likely launch in early July, although no official launch date has been announced.

CMY

The launch will be the first for the upgraded version of the Antares, and the first since an October 2014 failure.That accident was linked to the vehicle’s original AJ26 engines, refurbished Soviet-era NK-33 engines supplied by Aerojet Rocketdyne. Orbital announced shortly after the accident it would discontinue use of the AJ26 engines, selecting RD-181 engines provided by Russian company NPO Energomash. Orbital ATK noted that each newly-manufactured RD-181 goes through extensive acceptance testing. In addition, one engine went through seven test firings, accumulating 1,650 seconds of run time before being inspected. “The successful stage test, along with the extensive testing of each new RD-181, gives us further confidence in the first stage propulsion and in moving forward to launch,” Pinkston said in the statement. The first stage tested on the pad will not be flown on the July flight, but will instead be inspected and reconditioned for another Cygnus launch to the ISS, designated OA-7, scheduled for the fall. Orbital ATK said the Antares that will launch the OA-5 mission in July is in the final stages of integration and testing at Wallops.

is expert with exotic materials, including titanium alloys, hightemperature stainless steels, nickel-based alloys, bearing alloys, berylium copper alloys, and others. Jeff says, “Years ago, there were a number of independent aerospace fastener companies, and today, many have been acquired by Alcoa. This means that today there aren’t many skilled precision aerospace fastener and bearings machine shops available. I knew when I launched Anovaprise, our company would help to fill a void in the market.” Today, Anovaprise offers a complete tool room with fabrication and CNC machining, and all grinding capabilities, particularly with emphasis on complex profile centerless and cylindrical grinding.

“We used to have good in-house precision centerless grinding capabilities, but when we lost our employees to retirement, we were shipping our precision fasteners to suppliers in California that weren’t working as well as we wanted. A year ago, we found Anovaprise.They have provided the best grinding service since our panel fastener department moved to Tucson almost seventeen years ago.” — Manufacturing Engineer at Alcoa Fastening Systems & Rings Anovaprise Precision Industries officially opened for business in Arizona just one year ago, and today they are pleased to announce that they successfully completed their ISO 9001:2008 / AS9100 Revision C Certification. While it is clearly an accomplishment for any company to achieve ISO and AS9100 certification, what makes Anovaprise special is that they embarked upon and completed these rigorous certification standards in their first year of business. Additionally, with many (likely the majority) of small machine shops who certify, they must exclude ‘Reverse Engineering’ from their certification, as they lack the capabilities to support their customers with true engineering design support. Anovaprise is certified to‘Reverse Engineering’, which Jeff says many in the industry also refer to as ‘Value Engineering’. Just over a year ago, Jeff Jennings and his wife Heather strategically picked Arizona to open their new precision machine shop, naming it ‘Anovaprise’. Jeff says, “We wanted a unique company name, one that people would remember.” He continued, “ANOVA is an acronym for ‘Analysis of Variance’, and it is a widely known term in the quality control community.” Anovaprise was established to provide precision fasteners and bearings support services for the aerospace and performance automotive and off-road industries. Jeff spent the last decades as a skilled precision grinder and toolmaker, and then as a mechanical design engineer and manufacturing manager. He was a core team member in the R&D efforts at previous employers that led to 5 patents. Jeff says, “With my background and my new certifications, I am able to support not only my customers’ production operations, but their product development activities as well. We are able to take an existing part without specifications - and participate with the customer to make refinements that result in lower manufacturing costs, improved quality, and reduced lead times.” The company A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

With Jeff’s background in aerospace and defense, he knew that AS9100 certification was a ‘must have’ to win work with the large aerospace manufacturers. Jeff also understands ISO and AS9100 very well - he went through the certification process at previous employers and he was an ISO accredited auditor years ago. “I knew that as a start up entity, I would not be able to dedicate the amount of time needed to get the ISO and AS9100 certifications done while still running my shop.”. Jeff had read about Bretta Kelly and her company BMSC. He says, “Bretta was certifying so many companies in theValley and I read about her customers’ successes in the A2Z Manufacturing Magazine.” Jeff and Heather also contacted many shops in theValley when they were preparing to certify. “Everyone I talked to had outstanding things to say about Bretta and her team at BMSC. I never heard anyone say anything negative.” Jeff made it clear to the BMSC team that he wanted the ISO and AS9100 certification to be meaningful to his company. “I didn’t want to waste time preparing processes and procedures that would not be necessary for Anovaprise to achieve certification. Bretta provided a quality system template that gave me exactly the guidance I needed to write comprehensive procedures, and to only include those that were necessary for certification.” Jeff and Heather felt that BMSC and their philosophy fit Anovaprise. The company certified with 0 Findings on their audit. Jeff says, “Contracting with BMSC to prepare for our certifications was absolutely worth it. She and her team know the certification processes so well, and not only did her program include internal audits prior to certification, BMSC also brings in an auditor for the AS9100 certification, and we are prepared with a ‘mock interview.’ For more information on how BMSC can help your company to achieve AS9100 and/or ISO 9001certification, visit BusinessMSC or call (602) 445-9400.

envelope, by using already successful and operational Aegis Radar and SM-3 technology, to better protect the European continent from potential ballistic missile threats. While not specifically identified for particular countries such as Iran, Russia or other potentially hostile Middle Eastern Countries, the sites are designed to protect Europe and NATO allies from the broadest possible range of missile threats to Europe. Land-based defensive intercept missiles in Romania and Poland, such as the SM-3 variants, could knockout and destroy approaching missile threats aimed at European targets. The SM-3 is a kinetic energy warhead able to travel more than 600 miles per hour; it carries no explosive but instead relies on the sheer force of impact and collision to destroy an enemy target. The new SM-3IIA missile builds upon a smaller existing operational variant of the missile called the SM-3IB, Raytheon officials said. “This is an extended capbility of what we have for the SM-3 1B. Because of the larger missile this is a 21-inch air frame. we have a larger area of defended area coverage. we’ve also brought in some capability advancements into our kinetic warhead so now we have a higher sensitivity - so that is just better seeker,” Amy Cohen, Raytheon SM-3 Director, told Scout Warrior in an interview.

The Pentagon And Raytheon Will Test-Fire its New Larger SM-3IIA Interceptor Missile in Space The SM-3 IIA can hit bigger targets, such as incoming enemy ballistic missiles, at longer distances than previous SM-3 interceptor missiles The Missile Defense Agency and Raytheon plan to fire a new SM-3 missile variant into space to destroy an approaching enemy missile target - as a way to develop a new interceptor better able to detect and destroy ballistic missile threats approaching the earth’s atmosphere from space. The new missile, called the SM-3IIA, is slated to fire from a land-based missile defense site planned by the Pentagon for Poland by 2018, a Missile Defense Agency spokesman, told Scout Warrior in a statement. SM-3 missiles, first deployed on Navy ships, are exo-atmospheric interceptor missiles designed to destroy short and intermediate range incoming enemy ballistic missiles in above the earth’s atmosphere. With the weapon, threats are destroyed in space during what’s described as the mid-course phase of flight. The planned Poland deployment is a key part of what the Pentagon calls the Aegis Ashore program, an effort to leverage the ship-based Aegis Radar for land-fired missile defense technology.As of last year,Aegis Ashore locations are already operational in Romania as part of the Obama administration’s European Phased Adaptive Approach program. The concept with the program is to engineer a land-based missile defense A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

The SM-3IIA is still finishing up development and is slated for flight test in the second half of this year.The MDA and Raytheon test will assess the kinetic warhead and missile seeker in a space environment. An improved seeker can better see approaching targets from longer distances compared to the SM-3 1B, she added. Some of these improvements engineered into the missile are described as “sensitivity increases” which use a larger focal plane array for detection and more computer processing power. The SM-3 Block IIA has completed two very successful fly-out tests—with no target missile launched, Missile Defense Agency officials said. “The first intercept flight test is planned for second half of this year. We will be engaging against a medium range ballistic missile - the next flight test we have will get us to the point where we have the trajectory very solid that we are there to support EPAA phase III in Poland,” Cohen added. n December of last year, Raytheon received a $543 million SM-3IIA production contract to build the missiles. Some of these missiles will be sent to Poland for the Aegis Ashore site planned for 2018, officials said. Production of the missile involves a collaborative effort between the Raytheon in the U.S. and Japan. Both Japan and Raytheon produce

A Better 3D Bone Replacement To make a good framework for filling in missing bone, mix at least 30% pulverized natural bone with some special manmade plastic and create the needed shape with a 3D printer. That’s the recipe for success reported by researchers at The Johns Hopkins University. Each year, the Johns Hopkins scientists say, birth defects, trauma or surgery leave an estimated 200,000 people in need of replacement bones in the head or face. Historically, the best treatment required surgeons to remove part of a patient’s fibula (a leg bone that doesn’t bear much weight), cut it into the general shape needed and implant it in the right location. But, according to Warren Grayson, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the report’s senior author, the procedure not only creates leg trauma but also falls short because the relatively straight fibula can’t be shaped to fit the subtle curves of the face very well. That has led investigators to 3D printing, or so-called additive A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

manufacturing, which creates three-dimensional objects from a digital computer file by piling on successive, ultrathin layers of materials. The process excels at making extremely precise structures – including anatomically accurate ones – from plastic, but “cells placed on plastic scaffolds need some instructional cues to become bone cells,” says Grayson. “The ideal scaffold is another piece of bone, but natural bones can’t usually be reshaped very precisely.”

PCL is also quite strong, but the team knew from previous studies that it doesn’t support the formation of new bone well. So they mixed it with increasing amounts of “bone powder,” made by pulverizing the porous bone inside cow knees after stripping it of cells. “Bone powder contains structural proteins native to the body plus pro-bone growth factors that help immature stem cells mature into bone cells,” says Grayson. “It also adds roughness to the PCL, which helps the cells grip and reinforces the message of the growth factors.” The first test for the composite materials was printability, Grayson says. Five percent, 30% and 70% bone powder blends performed well, but 85% bone powder had too little PCL glue to maintain clear lattice shapes and was dropped from future experiments. “It was like a chocolate chip cookie with too many chocolate chips,” Nyberg says. To find out whether the scaffolds encourage bone formation, the researchers added human fat-derived stem cells taken during a liposuction procedure to scaffolds immersed in a nutritional broth lacking pro-bone ingredients. After three weeks, cells grown on 70% bone powder scaffolds showed gene activity hundreds of times higher in three genes indicative of bone formation, compared to cells grown on pure PCL scaffolds. Cells on 30% bone powder scaffolds showed large but less impressive increases in the same genes. After the scientists added the key ingredient beta-glycerophosphate to the cells’ broth to enable their enzymes to deposit calcium, the primary mineral in bone, the cells on 30% scaffolds produced about 30% more calcium per cell, while those on 70% scaffolds produced more than twice as much calcium per cell, compared to those on pure PCL scaffolds.

The Next Revolution In Manufacturing Is Full Automation There is a lot of talk amongst politicians and policymakers about ways to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. Initiatives have promoted training, process changes, and 3D Printing all as ways to make products here rather than in other countries. These are all great ideas that can have an impact, but not nearly as large of an impact as moving toward fully automating manufacturing. This fact became overwhelming obvious to me while on a trip to China at the beginning of the year. One of our manufacturing partners there was very excited to show us a new production line they had for a small electromechanical switch they make. I expected to see a room full of people working by hand to assemble components. Instead, the large room had two people in it tending about twenty machines that made the assemblies automatically.That’s right. Manufacturing moved to China because of their low labor prices. But in order to stay competitive they are using automation to reduce the number of workers they need. That same principal is being used here in the U.S. In late 2013, Apple announced that they would be making the Mac Pro computer in an automated factory in Austin, Texas. The huge battery factory that Tesla is building in Nevada will reduce production costs through the massive use of automation. When labor is your driving cost, automation can change the economics of production, and the preferred location.

What exactly is automation? It’s the use of electro mechanical machines controlled by software. It can be the application of single purpose machines or the use of programmable robots to carry out a variety of tasks.The use of automation is nothing new − it started soon after Henry Ford introduced the assembly line. Over time, more and more people were replaced with machines, but a lot of humans were still left in the process. Just as domestic manufacturing was applying more and more automation, the economics of offshore manufacturing presented an even more affordable way to make things. Factories started closing and production moved overseas. And as markets will do, the labor shortage in low-cost countries is creating upward pressure on wages, and that significant labor advantage is disappearing. The other reason why offshoring beat out automation in the past is that automation systems were rigid. Humans are not − they are incredibly flexible with regards to tasks they are asked to do. So even if you could retool a factory to be automated for less than the cost of sending production overseas, as soon as they needed to change an aspect of the product or manufacturing process, costs would skyrocket.

Your AS9100 Rev C Certified Company Specializing in Large Parts Now Announces 5-Axis Machining Capabilities “Although errors are rare, they still happen, but a customer remembers how well you fixed the problem longer than they remember the normal items. So it’s important we fix things quickly and without headaches.” David Lair – Co-Vice President Dynamic Machine There are a number of g reat mac hine shops throughout the Southwest that make high precision parts for the aerospace industry, and of course, many are certified to the rigorous AS9100 standards. There are few, though, that can make both small and large aerospace and other precision parts. Dynamic Machine, headquartered in Phoenix,Arizona, and ISO9001 / AS9100 certified, can do just that, both with their machining and fabrication expertise. And their recent acquisition of a Haas 5 axis machining center is proof of their willingness to invest in continuous improvement through technology acquisitions. The company, founded by Jim Stewart, will celebrate one half century, yes 50 years, in business next year. Sadly, Jim passed away in 2012, and today the J.T. Stewart Trust owns the company. And though the company transitioned from ownership by Jim to the trust, Jim set up such a strong management team and structure that the transition was seamless for Dynamic Machine’s customers. Co-Vice Presidents David Lair and Bill MacDougall are overseeing day-to-day operations, and each has decades of tenure with the company. Two of Jim’s sons, Mark Stewart and Tom Stewart, are working at the company today.The rest of the management team consists of Theresa Pittman (Office Manager), Anabel Munguia (Director of Quality), and Tom Dwyer (Facilities Supervisor). David says, “We are fortunate to have a dedicated loyal team here at Dynamic Machine, and our average tenure in the company is 14 years.” When asked what specific differentiator Dynamic Machine offers in the industry, David responded, “I think it is the larger machining and fabrication we do. Certainly our smaller and mid-sized parts are made with the same quality. But that complex weldment which requires CNC turning and CNC milling isn’t something everyone can do. So a part that’s too big for most shops — fits us just fine.” The company performs nearly all operations in house, from machining to grinding to welding to deburring, and they only outsource special processes. The Dynamic Machine team is also versed at Kanban, and they offer this to customers who require a scheduling system for lean manufacturing/ just-in-time manufacturing. The company operates in an impressive 36,000 square foot facility, and due to size of the parts they manufacture, there are 5 overhead cranes to assist with material and part handling. The company manufactures parts for several industries, including; Aerospace, DOD, automotive, commercial and energy. David says, “We work with our customers at multiple levels. We support their engineering departments with answers to manufacturability questions or design review. We work with their quality departments to ensure that not only are their parts right, but are packaged as desired and proper documentation is done.” Dynamic Machine’s report cards attest to their quality and on time performance — They are consistently scored as an A+ Supplier. The company has some of the largest Haas horizontal machining centers in the state, including their Haas HS-4R and their Haas HS-3R, both with 40-Tool Changers.With table sizes as large as 150” x 66” x 48”, the company is well equipped to machine parts as large as 12’ x 5’.

Haas machine ever purchased was the HS3, bought 14 years ago, and it is still producing parts for the company. David and Bill say that some of their long term customers started bringing them work that was difficult to make cost effectively without 5-axis capabilities. Late last year, they purchased the Haas UMC-750SS 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center, with a 2-Axis Trunnion Rotary table. Bill says, “We evaluated several different builders, and the final choice came down to the Haas. For our requirements, the Haas UMC-750SS was a great fit, and the cost was substantially lower than other builders’ offerings.” David added, “While we don’t shy away from the exotic metals, the majority of parts we machine are made of aluminum, and the Haas allowed us to step into 5-Axis machining without ‘over-investing’.” Bill says, “The first part that we made on the 5-axis machine could have been done on our existing 4 Axis machines, but the tooling would have been more expensive and the number of operations required would have made it difficult to price the job competitively.” On the tour, David pointed out a part that went from 7 operations down to 2 since it was machined on the Haas UMC-750SS. We also saw a complex part that previously took 2 hours to machine — and now with the 5-Axis Haas UMC-750SS, it is machined in less than 40 minutes. Bill and David agree that the 5-Axis machining center has improved their lead-time and efficiency. Bill says, “The Haas machines have always worked well for us, and have been a part of our machine tool family. Over the years they keep getting better and better — their electronics and structure are constantly improving, and the control options are superior.We like the rigidity of the spindle, now with direct drive, and we appreciate that the machines aren’t ‘over engineered’.” Bill continued, “When we were evaluating 5-Axis machines late last year, we knew that the ultimate supplier had to offer local service. Ellison Machinery doesn’t just offer local service, they have a significant service team, and not only are they responsive when a machine goes down, here within 24 hours, but they maintain a large inventory of parts on their vans, so this means that nearly every time, they have the part in the van to fix the machine on the spot.” Jason McCurdy, Business Manager for the Ellison Machinery, and account manager for Dynamic Machine, says, “Dynamic Machine is well respected in the industry, and every time I make a call to the company, I am greeted by a friendly voice on the phone.The personal touch that they offer their customers, I believe, is so valued, and just another example of their superior customer support.” Ellison Machinery carries a number of machine tool lines for their customers in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. Jason says that many of their customers purchase the Haas machine tool line, as it is manufactured here in the United States, and it is the number #1 machine tool in units sold throughout the world.

Oshkosh Defense Chief: JLTV Production Line Prepped For Global Demand

military reaches it’s peak.

New Oshkosh Defense boss John Bryant says there will be no problem accommodating overseas customers on the company’s Joint Lightweight Tactical Vehicle program (JLTV) production line, even when output for the US

The US vehicle builder is expected to deliver around 17,000 vehicles to the US military over an eight-year period, but Bryant says there is plenty of capacity at the Oshkosh,Wisconsin, plant for what he reckons will be a significant number of overseas customers operating the platform by the end of the decade. “At no time will JLTV production capability be stretched. Full rate output will involve about 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles a year compared with our M-ATV where we were producing 1,000 a month,” Bryant said in an interview with Defense News at the Eurosatory defense show in Paris, which touted a JLTV on display. Oshkosh starts delivering initial low rate production vehicles to the US Army by early October. Bryant is confident the JLTV is ready for other international customers as well, due to the heavy test regime JLTV has undergone. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

The Oshkosh executive declined to name the main targets for JTLV sales although he did confirm the company was following the British multi-role protected vehicle program “very closely”. “I’d be astounded if there isn’t a significant number of overseas operators using this vehicle by the end of the decade,” Bryant said. “Right now we are casting the net broadly, we’re displaying the capability of the vehicle, particularly for customers familiar with our [bigger] M-ATV platform. We believe many international customers are likely to want both vehicles.” Croatia, Poland, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are among the international customers for M-ATV.

New FAA Rules Could Revolutionize the Aircraft Market “Twice the safety at half the cost” has been the mantra of aviation advocates pushing for regulatory reform and, after a decade of trying, this year could be when their wishes come true. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published proposed new rules that would simplify the procedures for certifying new airplanes for the private market—encompassing everything from a four-seat Cirrus to most turboprops and some small jets. Advocates say this will make it easier for manufacturers to innovate, and cheaper for owners to upgrade their current airplanes as new technology comes on the market. The proposed rules were released in March. Aviation lobbying groups are pressing the FAA to then enact the final rules by the end of this year. The new rules propose to use industry standards that will be the same worldwide, which also makes it easier for airplane manufacturers based in Europe, China, Australia, and elsewhere to sell their products in the U.S. market. And while manufacturers hope to see a substantial drop in their certification costs, that will not likely translate to “half the cost” for buyers—but advocates say the lower development costs plus increased competition will trickle down.

Chandler, AZ Based PowerParasol® Receives a Second Patent

“The biggest thing we have is airspace,” said Davis.

There is no other solar shade structure built like PowerParasol,® which can shade acres of land, transform public spaces, drive customer service and satisfaction and generate megawatts of clean energy connected to the grid and close to where it is used.

His production company recently wrapped up a commercial for PNM and shot footage for the AMC series “Preacher,” which premiered last month.

Our unique features include a large contiguous solar panel platform that is elevated above the ground, and unique vertical supports that give PowerParasol strength and support while creating elegant structures that integrate into the surroundings.

Davis said the film incentives are good for drone companies too, since film companies hire businesses like Davis’ to shoot aerial photography. Davis also said New Mexico benefits from having a very proactive Federal Aviation Administration office. “They have quick turnaround times,” he said. “Every flight we do has to be approved, and they’re really good about it.” The drone industry could grow to become an $11.5 billion business within the next 10 years,

Now, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted a second patent on PowerParasol, providing even greater protection of our innovative design and technology. We’ve installed PowerParasol at three locations at ASU’s Tempe campus, at a Fry’s Food Store on 27th Avenue and Bell Road in Phoenix, at a KOA RV park in Tucson, and at Empire Southwest’s headquarters in Mesa. In each of these locations, PowerParasol is providing much needed shade, allowing plants, grass and trees to thrive under the structures, preserving sight lines and creating open, airy spaces. PowerParasol takes solar off the rooftop, out of solar farms and into the community, has enhanced the land it’s built on, and has generated clean energy with no increase in the environmental footprint. Any excess generation can be integrated into the local utility grid. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

The demand economy is disrupting every sector and causing those in the supply chain and manufacturing fields to be more innovative than ever before. A decade ago, consumers accepted waiting a week for their product but now with the infusion of companies such as Amazon and Alibaba, consumers are making their purchase decisions based on how quickly they will receive the product. In order to stay competitive in the marketplace, companies are turning to 3D printing to create their products quicker. While it is true that manufacturing in certain locations can be low-cost, managing a global logistics network is not, especially as transportation costs continue to rise. That is where the opportunity for 3D printing lies. It is not surprising that analyst firm Canalys anticipates that the worldwide market for 3D printers and its associated materials and services will grow to $20.2 billion by 2019. Supply chains are about to make a fundamental shift.Where traditionally supply chains followed something like the SCOR model (plan, source, make, deliver, return), 3D printing is innovating that model and putting consumers in the driver’s seat.

Globally, 3D printers seem likely to follow the same trajectory as mobile phones: many countries skipped installing expensive landlines and went directly to mobile technology, which requires less infrastructure investment and is more flexible and easier to upgrade. As with mobile technology, 3D printing means low infrastructure requirements, more mobility, more programmability and more adaptability. This means nearly all of the 95% of world consumers that live outside of the U.S. will eventually access technology superior to our current production systems. The two technologies—mobile technology and 3D printing—go together. Consumers will demand the ability to use their mobile devices to customize goods with nearly instantaneous delivery, and that means online presence, social media and analytics. Very few manufacturers right now have a social presence, meaning that the 3D printing revolution will likely continue the shift of power toward retailers like Amazon that already have online ordering systems popular with consumers. Deliver/Return: Rise of the Robots The 3D printing revolution also means the advance of robots, especially delivery drones and artificial intelligence. The first automated urban drone package delivery happened on March 25th. TraPac LLC’s Los Angeles terminal already has two dozen robots moving containers. Even formula racing is starting a Roborace division later this year. In addition to automating repetitive and detail-oriented tasks, robots and drones need less infrastructure and require minimal waste. Reliance on human drivers means having a vehicle big enough to carry the human, at which point investment costs require greater economies of scale by accumulating enough packages to pay for both truck and driver.

Drones can be sized just big enough to transport a package. Self-driving trucks will still require highways, but smaller, airborne drones delivering the “last mile” will mean reduced congestion, faster deliveries, and less expensive infrastructure to maintain—not to mention other benefits like delivery straight to the customer rather than to a physical address. Source: Gets a Lot Easier Today’s supply chains suffer from global sprawl, with months required to design and source components, and then assemble them into a finished product. Much of the time and expense in supply chains derives from the need to negotiate with and monitor suppliers. All this is made worthwhile due to the benefits of accessing specialization and competitive advantages from around the world. The specialization and economic benefits of globalization become outdated in a world where a 3D printer and some spools of wire or other generic inputs can make nearly any desired product relatively quickly. Generic inputs require far less negotiation and planning. They also do not become obsolete and the quality is standardized, meaning that there’s less need to monitor supplier performance. Since nearly all value is added by the 3D printer and inputs are relatively low value, standardized commodities, Just in Time Inventory (JIT) and other inventory reduction approaches will be needed less. Plan:The Consumer Takes Charge 3D printing’s most amazing impact will be how it puts consumers in charge of the supply chain—and most companies are not ready. The old supply chain reference models put the company in charge of nearly the entire supply chain: developing new product offerings, sourcing all components, overseeing manufacturing and assembly, and finally distributing products to the retail level. The customer only gets to order the product after all the work is done, choosing among available offerings. In this model, companies take a huge gamble on whether and how many of a product they will sell, leading to waste and diminished profitability. 3D printing means a greatly simplified, highly responsive, and infinitely flexible supply chain fulfills the order. In the future supply chain, the customer places the order first, and then a local, highly automated 3D printing shop produces the finished product and then delivers it, often via drones. Rather than plan, source, make, deliver, and return, a future supply chain model will start with the consumer order which will initiate make, deliver and return. The demand economy is disrupting every sector and when paired with the advent of 3D printing, is a true game changer for the manufacturing industry. It should be a warning sign for companies that if they don’t innovate their supply chains, they may become irrelevant as consumers will have more control of the production of their own products.

This is a modification contract, which is valued at $88.1 million, and the contracting activity is Army Contracting Command. Per the contract, Sikorsky will exercise an option to deliver 8 units of UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters. Work is scheduled to be complete by Jun 30, 2017, and will be performed in Stratford, CT. The contract will use fiscal 2016 other procurement funds. Sikorsky-built UH-60M Black Hawk is a twin-engine helicopter with four blades and medium-lift utility. Even in the harshest of conditions, this aircraft is capable of providing constant, fail-safe service. Moreover, the aircraft is integrated with the U.S. Army’s Future Combat Systems and automated aircraft health monitoring system and has the ability to provide superior vertical lift. Lockheed Martin purchased Black Hawk helicopter maker, Sikorsky Aircraft, from United Technologies Corp. (UTX - Analyst Report) in Nov 2015. The deal boosted Lockheed’s position as the world’s largest defense contractor, pushing it deeper into the military helicopter business. The purchase of Sikorsky added the well-known product – Black Hawk – to Lockheed Martin’s helicopter business.

Automation Brings Manufacturing Back Home

I call the agile supply chain, and it has to be fast, therefore reshoring is vital.”

Though some argue that robots are putting Americans out of work, the flipside of that argument is that manufacturing wouldn’t be here at all without the robots. According to Jim Lawton, fleets of robots working alongside people will reduce costs, allow manufacturers to respond more quickly to customers, and “iterate design more rapidly”—all of which will enable “lower costs and being able to operate in parts of the world that [manufacturers] might not otherwise be able to operate in because tariffs are too high and local labor is too high.”

Gary LaPoint, professor of supply chain practice at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management, agrees. “Some products are becoming obsolete almost as fast as they come to market,” he notes. “This means the time period to recoup R&D, design and setup costs is greatly diminishing.”That means the quicker a company can get from concept to product, the better the bottom line, he explains. Automation, advanced manufacturing and reshoring point the way.

It might not come as a surprise that the chief product and marketing officer of Rethink Robotics is bullish on robots, but he has support for his optimism. A Boston Consulting Group survey released in December showed that 31 percent of executives at companies with annual revenues of $1 billion and above planned to increase U.S.-based manufacturing over the next five years for goods to be sold in the U.S. Only 20 percent said they planned to ramp up production in China for such products. And automation, the survey found, is a key driver of the shift back to the U.S. from China. Fully 75 percent of respondents said their companies planned to increase investments in automation or advanced manufacturing technologies over the coming five years. “Automation will always beat labor if it can be designed to replicate and deliver good quality product,” says John Gattorna, author of “Dynamic Supply Chains” and an Australiabased logistics consultant. Along with the promise of lower manufacturing costs enabled by automation, an increasing need to innovate quickly is also driving manufacturing closer to the place of consumption, he says. “This is what

Key technologies There are four major technologies making it all possible, according to Bobby Bono, U.S. industrial manufacturing leader at PwC: the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, augmented reality (AR) and 3D printing. The value created by the IoT could constitute 11 percent of the total global economy by 2025, according to McKinsey & Company. McKinsey expects a third of that value to come from IoT’s use in manufacturing. As just one example of the increased efficiencies that are already being realized through IoT, a PwC report co-authored by Bono titled “2016 Industrial ManufacturingTrends” cites a Black & Decker factory in Mexico that was able to use the IoT to boost equipment effectiveness by 24 percent, labor efficiency by 10 percent, and production by 10 percent. With regard to robotics in manufacturing, the West and China are taking two different paths, according to the PwC report. Chinese firms aim to replace workers wholesale in manufacturing, even going so far as to launch the world’s first fully automated factory, a Changying Precision Technology plant in Dongguan that produces

mobile phone components. In the U.S., however, the trend is more toward collaborative robotics, with the understanding that robots can enhance human abilities but can’t entirely replace them. In other words, the thinking goes, humans and robots do their best work together, so there will always be a place for people in factories. Rethink Robotics is among the robot makers embracing this philosophy. The company’s Baxter and Sawyer robots communicate with workers around them through animated images of eyes and by moving their heads. “Those things, along with the facial expressions, they play a real role,” Lawton explains. “They’re not there to make the robot look cute.They’re there to help people get comfortable and confident in the way in which the robot’s going to operate.” Putting people at ease is just as important to the design of Rethink’s robots as their ability to assemble parts and perform other tasks in a factory. On the AR front, Ford Motor Co. is among the manufacturers increasingly deploying wearable displays to workers that overlay information on top of the workers’ real-world view to help them manage production and boost productivity. Describing such AR applications in its report, PwC says, “Users simply follow the text, graphics, audio and other virtual enhancements superimposed onto goggles or real assemblies as they perform complex tasks on the factory floor.These tools can simultaneously assess the accuracy and timing of these tasks, and notify the operator of quality risks.” Adoption of AR is accelerating, and investors are betting big on the technology. In February, AR startup Magic Leap announced that it had raised $793.5 million in series C financing, bringing the total invested in the company to $4.5 billion.

The computer-controlled layering of materials to build up parts made of plastics, metals and other materials in the process known as 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is already in wide use as a prototyping tool. But it is gaining traction in production environments as well. The PwC report cites BAE Systems as an example of a major manufacturer that put 3D printing to work reducing costs. The company cut the cost to manufacture an aircraft part by more than 60 percent, eliminated tooling costs, and shortened the lead time for producing the part by two months with 3D printing. The jobs question Advanced technologies are not only spurring companies to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.; they are also changing the face of manufacturing, starting with the workers. “The industry is seeing a shift to a more tech-savvy worker, who possesses capabilities in coding and software development,” Bono says. In other words, new skills will be required for new and retooled manufacturing plants. “Today’s and tomorrow’s factory workers need computer skills to operate and program the machines.They will need skills in how to repair these machines,” LaPoint says. “I see more support jobs coming.” He also anticipates a rising demand for design and 3D printing services to meet the need for more 3D-printed parts. The necessary new skillsets will extend to management as well as workers, says Maxime St-Denis at CAI Global, a corporate investment consulting firm. “Managing a robot vs. a human being are two completely different tasks.” All of this means that while reshoring will indeed bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., they won’t be the same jobs that were here before.

“Reshoring will create more jobs in the U.S., but not at a one-to¬-one ratio, as compared to offshore locations prior to the reshoring,” Bono says. Gattorna is a little more direct in his assessment. “Ultimately,” he says, “there will be fewer jobs required.”After all, automation is, by definition, the outsourcing of tasks formerly done by people to machines. Even so, experts say that one of the biggest challenges to successful reshoring is actually a shortage of workers with the right skills. “I think one of the biggest threats to reshoring is talent acquisition,” LaPoint says. “We do not have an adequate supply of the right trained people.” A report from The Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte called “The Skills Gap in U.S. Manufacturing 2015 and Beyond” backs him up. It predicts that there will be 3.4 million manufacturing jobs in the U.S. by 2025—and only 1.4 million skilled workers to fill them. It’s going to be up to a new generation of workers to fill those jobs. “With the traditional manufacturing model coming to an end and the rise of the technological era, this will result in the retirement of the aging working population in conjunction with the rise of the younger generation entering the workforce, thus replenishing and modernizing the ever-evol Even collaborative robotics booster Lawton acknowledges the impact on employment that automation has brought and will continue to bring. “There is always going to be some element of what I call ‘the jobs question,’” he says, noting that managing the reactions of workers to increased automation is an important factor in deploying it effectively. “Automation is designed to eliminate my job,

right? So why would I be interested in deploying this stuff?”That’s a typical reaction, Lawton says, adding, “How the organization has thought that through will have a big impact on how much this kind of technology is either embraced by the organization or how much reluctance there is to consider things like this.” Looking toward the future Despite the inevitable impact of automation on the workforce, Lawton is confident that, in the coming era of advanced manufacturing, workers and robots will peacefully coexist. “Every factory worker, the first thing they’re going to get is a robot; and the robot is going to be an extension of them,” he says. “It’s going to be a tool they can use to help them do their job better, and they will control the robot and what it does.” That control, he says, is key to fostering the acceptance of robots by workers in the shared workspace. The result of these and other technological developments will be the factory of the near future “almost living and breathing...just growing and getting better over time through its own operation,” Lawton says. The goal is production that moves in harmony with demand, Gattorna says, “so that as one product is purchased, a replacement is immediately produced.” But the future is still being defined, Lawton says. “As much as you and I and other people will speculate on what that future’s going to look like, it’s so open-ended in terms of the range of possibilities. There’s a certain amount of wonder associated with that that frankly hasn’t really been part of automation as much over the last 20 years or so. I think it’s going to be very exciting from that point of view.” Source: Automation World • 49 • Nov / Dec 2015 • 87 • July / Aug 2016
