Cover

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” — Marie Curie “Gifted individuals are those who demonstrate outstanding levels of aptitude (defined as an exceptional ability to reason and learn) or competence (documented performance or achievement in top 10% or rarer) in one or more domains. Domains include any structured area of activity with its own symbol system (e.g., mathematics, music, language) and/or set of sensor motor skills (e.g., painting, dance, sports).”

The summer Olympics is fast approaching and it epitomizes the‘exceptional gift of physical ability’.

I know that I will be captivated watching many of our US sports heroes perform their magic.The nearly 3-week event will be hosted this summer in Rio de Janeiro, and it will feature 28 sports and a total of 41 disciplines and 306 events. More than 10,500 athletes from 206 countries will be represented, including first time entrants Kosovo and South Sudan. As I googled news and forecasts on the Olympics, I was very taken aback to learn that in many sports, athletes are not assured yet that they will make the flight to Rio de Janeiro. For example, in many disciplines, there are still competitions over the next months to determine qualifying athletes. I cannot conceive of the enormous dedication these athletes have to make day in and day out, and then to have some kind of misfortune, or a ‘bad day’, that eliminates them from the greatest sporting event that occurs for their sport only every 4 years.

Marketing Firm Infostrada Sports has made some predictions for how we as a country should perform: • They forecast that the U.S. will finish atop the medals table, outperforming the likes of China and Russia.

• The U.S. women are expected to reach the podium more often than their male teammates.

• “The only American male competitor projected to win more than one individual gold medal is legendary swimmer Michael Phelps,” Infostrada said.

• The company’s virtual medals table shows the U.S. with 47 golds and 97 total medals. China and Russia are projected to finish with 76 and 74 medals, respectively.

Perhaps less publicized and watched is the Paralympics, which will also be hosted in Rio de Janeiro early in the fall of this year. If being a gifted athlete means having an extraordinary aptitude in sensor motor skills, I can’t think of an athlete more gifted when he or she prevails despite a physical handicap — perhaps a tragedy that left him or her paralyzed.To master a sport in spite of this, is truly the definition of giftedness coupled with perseverance.

In our manufacturing industry, I meet so many gifted individuals. Our industry is all about precision machining, and it means that for machine shops, often small businesses, the owner and his team must continuously look for new methodologies to produce parts for their customers faster, more accurately, and then more cost effectively. It means looking at a part, analyzing it, finding new machining techniques, new tools, and doing this better than others. It must be a constant challenge, and I believe that in my years in this industry, I have met many who epitomize the gift of machining. You can read about such companies in this issue, including RMSS, IMCO Products,Whitley Machine, ARTL, and Horizon Aviation.

Until next issue, I wish you continued success, health and happiness in 2016 and God Bless our Troops! Let’s also pray for our US athletes in the Olympics this year!

We thank you for your business! Owners Doug & Jill Cone StudentsWill Manufacture Aircraft Parts In Unique PartnershipWith 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 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.

“I see this as training my future workforce,” Schalk said. His team will inspect the completed parts, and then he’ll write a check to Desert View’s Skills USA club. The funds will be processed by the school’s business office, with students voting on how the money will be apportioned.

The teamwork is typical of “Youth Career Connect,” a partnership of Arizona@Work/Pima County, the Pima County Joint Technical Education District (JTED), the Sunnyside and Tucson Unified School Districts, Pima Community College, and nonprofit partner,TucsonYouth Development that connects youth to STEMrelated careers.Arizona@Work/Pima County is the facilitator and administrator of the U.S. Department of A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

The program at DesertView is the onlyArizona 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, three-step process that involves registering the program with NIMS, 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.

“The program between the high schools, JTED, Arizona@Work and industry is providing students with the knowledge, skills, and aspirations to have long-term employment with substantial earnings,” Morgan said.

“There are not many communities where you find robust high school programs working in concert with higher education and industry to this degree.That’s the secret sauce here in Pima County.”

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.

The first crop of students came into the program in fall 2014, with support from teachers, counselors and parents.They work toward STEM career pathways and along the way, they receive support, field trips, work experience and mentorships.

Each fall, a new group of juniors will be encouraged by teachers and counselors to join the program. By the end of the fouryear project, approximately 900 students will have gone through one of the YCC STEM pathways.

Boeing Beats Airbus on 1st-Quarter Orders and Deliveries American planemaker Boeing boasted of higher first-quarter orders and deliveries in comparison to its European counterpart Airbus.

The latter experienced poor net orders owing to cancellations and delays from its aircraft engine partner Pratt & Whitney.

Boeing has always outpaced Airbus as far as deliveries are concerned, but this time the Chicago-based jetmaker left behind its rival in terms of cracking new deals and recording higher orders. The chart below gives an overview of the first-quarter figures.

the planemakers. While Airbus has been struggling to sell the doubledecker, Boeing has been trying to revive the demand for its 747.

In terms of order flow, the company accumulated only 32 gross orders.

The number shrinks to a meager 10 after adjusting for cancellations of 22 planes for the first three months of the year. This happens to be the lowest first-quarter order flow for the company in five years.

The feeble order flow in the first quarter has left the jetmaker to scramble for the rest of the year to meet its order target. Late in January, Iran Air disclosed its intention to buy 118 Airbus planes, which includes 12 A380s.

However, this does not seem to have finalized since it’s not appearing in the company’s order book yet. Airbus closed last month with an unfilled order backlog of 6,716 planes.

Boeing’s order status Boeing delivered 176 aircraft during the first quarter, down 4.3% compared to last year’s first quarter.The decline is on account of weak demand for the company’s long-range 764 and the jumbo jet 747.The bread-and-butter aircraft program, the narrow-body 737, accounted for the majority of the deliveries at 121 but was flat compared to last year.The company had delivered 737s to United Airlines, and industry sources have it that it was sold at hefty discounts.

Airbus’ order status Airbus delivered 125 planes in the first quarter.The Toulouse, Francebased planemaker’s deliveries were impeded by the engine issues of the re-engineered A320neo. According to industry sources, engine deliveries from Pratt and Whitney slowed owing to software and startup time issues. As a measure to improve the annual delivery count, Airbus is working to ramp up deliveries of the new A350. It delivered three A350s in March and intends to dispatch more than 50 this year. The company delivered two of its struggling superjumbos, the A380.

However, it also witnessed the cancellation of a couple of A380s by Air Austral.The company expects to record more A380 cancellations in the near future. Virgin Atlantic Airways has said that it is going to shed its plans to take deliveries of six A380s that it ordered earlier. Demand for jumbo jets has been a big challenge for both A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

Deliveries of Boeing’s revolutionary airplane, the 787 Dreamliner, continue to be stable at 30; it was the second-best-selling plane.

The company delivered 23 777s during the period compared with a dispatch of 24 units in the same period last year.

As far as orders are concerned, the jetmaker has recorded 140 gross orders and 122 units net of cancellations through April 5. The company saw 14 737 cancellations and four order withdrawals for the 787 Dreamliner.

The company looks poised to comfortably beat Airbus in deliveries this year, too, and retain the title of the world’s largest planemaker.

The company expects to deliver around 740 to 745 planes this year while Airbus expects to deliver 650 planes.

Airbus expects its deliveries to pick up in the latter half of the year, while Boeing expects to see a slowdown in annual deliveries owing to its transition to the 737 Max.

Boeing Wins $326M Air Force Contract For Smart Bomb Kits Boeing Co. has won a contract valued at $326 million to build 15,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, or JDAM, smart bomb kits for the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Defense Department said.

The contract, which runs through March 29, 2018, covers the 15,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions tail kits that add precision guidance capabilities to conventional bombs, as well as technical services and system field support, the Pentagon said in its daily digest of major weapons deals.

New iRobot Spinoff Eyes Big Pentagon Contracts Now officially in business as an independent company, iRobot’s former defense unit is gearing up to compete for Pentagon contracts in a market that has changed dramatically since the PackBot bomb-clearing robot became a military staple in Afghanistan and Iraq more than a decade ago.

“There are a lot of opportunities,” said Sean Bielat, a former iRobot executive and now CEO of Endeavor Robotics.The company was acquired earlier this year by the private equity firm Arlington Capital Partners in a $45 million deal.

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

iRobot divested its defense arm to focus exclusively on the consumer market. The decision to spin off the defense unit is “good for both companies,” Bielat said in an interview, as executives concluded that the vastly different defense and commercial businesses could no longer coexist.

Endeavor has about 100 employees and is preparing to bid on at least three large robot procurements over the next two years, including autonomous and remotely controlled devices used for battlefield reconnaissance, mine clearing and other duties considered too dangerous for humans.

The Army has a huge inventory of robots — estimated at about 7,000 — that it purchased under fast-track procurement authorities with contingency war funds — but now have become a significant logistics burden.The plan is to streamline a hodgepodge of systems into “programs of record” with dedicated logistics support funding. The Army also is seeking more advanced features in its future robots and “open architectures” that allow for easier upgrades and digital linkages between humans and machines.

“We’re very excited about programs of record in the ground robots space over the next two years,” Bielat said. “We expect to see requests for proposals within the next year. We think we’re well positioned to win at least one if not all of them.” Bielat, like other contractor executives, are keen on programs of record that have more predictable funding streams and stable budgets for maintenance and upgrades. A lot of war equipment did not become a program of record and ended up either discarded or stored in disrepair.

An upcoming procurement that Endeavor is targeting is the CRSI, or common robotic system individual. The Army is seeking a 25-pound or lighter system for use at the squad level for chemical, biological and

nuclear radiation detection.

Bielat said this is major prize for the industry as the Army could buy up to 4,100 systems.

The company is developing new technologies for the CRSI bid to meet Army requirements for interoperability and open architecture.

Another upcoming competition is for the Army’s MTRS increment 2, or man transportable robotic system. This is a larger remotely operated robot that will have bomb-detection functions similar to the Packbot’s.

Endeavor also will bid for the Naval Sea Systems Command’s advanced explosive ordnance disposal robotic system, or AEODRS, a family of systems that would be deployed with dismounted troops, in tactical operations and at fixed bases. Beilat said the program is attractive because it is intended to be used by multiple military services.

“The IED fight will be with us for a long time,” he said using an acronym for the roadside bombs that have killed and injured thousands of U.S. troops. “This will continue as long as we’re fighting asymmetric fights.” Robots are going to be essential in any battlefield, he added, because there they keep humans out of harm’s way.

The Army has bigger plans to deploy robotic trucks as logistics supply mules and in other roles, but progress has been slow. It’s like any new technology, Bielat said. The tactics and doctrine take a long time to catch up to the technology. It took the Army many years to codify the use of tanks in armored warfare. “I think you’ll see the same thing in robotics.” Also, the technology moves much faster than the defense acquisition process is able to procure, he said. “We need some fundamental reform in order to get technology out to the troops faster.”

Bielat said the company’s game plan includes winning Army contracts but also acquiring

competitors. “There are a lot of emerging companies, a lot of opportunity,” he said. The best candidates would be companies that are focused on the government market. “We are looking at potential acquisitions of companies that make sense for us to help us in our growth trajectory.”

Raytheon Company has won a contract worth $1.0 billion from the U.S. Navy for the development of 15 Next Generation Jammer (“NGJ”) engineering development model pods. Contracting

activity is Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, MD. This contract covers the engineering and manufacturing development phase of the NGJ. The new tactical jammer will replace the ALQ-99 tactical jamming system, which is more than 40 years old. The ALQ-99 is presently used on the U.S. Navy EA-18G electronic attack aircraft manufactured by The Boeing Company.

In 2013, Raytheon was chosen for the program.

Under this phase, Raytheon’s work includes designing, producing, integrating, demonstrating and testing of the NGJ. Per the contract, Raytheon will also manufacture 14 NGJ aero-mechanical test pods to guarantee flying qualities of the aircraft and the pod safe separation from the host aircraft. Supplying equipment for system integration laboratories and established manufacturing processes are also part of the contract.

Work is scheduled to be complete by Dec 2020. The company will carry out the majority of the work in El Segundo, CA, while the rest will be performed in Forrest, MS; Dallas, TX; McKinney, TX; Torrance, CA; Ft. Wayne, IN; Marion, VA; San Diego, CA; Andover, MA; and Tucson, AZ. The contract will use fiscal 2016 research, development, testing and evaluation (Navy) funds.

The pod-based tactical jammer NGJ system has been built with openarchitecture technology using Raytheon’s airborne radio frequency systems, jamming techniques, combat-proven antenna array technology, and enhanced solid-state electronics. The new jammer system was designed to address electronic warfare mission requirements of the Navy, while ensuring a cost-effective open systems architecture that can support future up-gradation.

Raytheon is one of the best-positioned large-cap defense players due to its non-platform-centric focus. Going forward, we expect the company to continue to remain well positioned based on its realigned segments, international exposure, strong order bookings and order backlog, cash deployment strategy, improving balance sheet, growing cash flow and cost reduction initiatives.

The company has been enjoying a steady stream of contracts from several government establishments. As a result, total backlog at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015 was $34.7 billion, up from $33.6 billion at 2014 end.

Air Force Announces Potential US Locations For F-35 Basing Arizona, Florida,Texas and Missouri are on the short list to become home bases for F-35s, according to the Air Force.

The JLTV program was finally able to move ahead in December after work stopped on the program for 98 days during the protest period. Lockheed then filed a lawsuit in the US Court of Federal Claims because it claimed newly supplied Army information that emerged toward the end of the GAO’s protest process was enough to move the protest to court. Oshkosh did not have to stop work while the lawsuit played out in court.

Lockheed dropped its lawsuit in February.

The Army is anticipating a six-month delay in reaching initial operational capability.The service originally expected to reach IOC in mid 2019 but expects to now reach that milestone in late 2019, Army spokesman Michael Clow told Defense News.

“Cimatron has really helped us stay ahead of the curve when it comes to creating more sophisticated molds, such as those required for products with blended curves. Without Cimatron in place, designing and producing such goods would be nearly impossible.”

Thomas LaMarca, Jr., Owner, L&Z Tool and Engineering

The Marine Corps IOC will be delayed by a year, Thomas Dee, the deputy assistant secretary of Naval Expeditionary Programs and Logistics Management, said Wednesday at a Senate Armed Services Seapower Subcommittee hearing. The original Marine Corps IOC was expected in the fourth quarter for fiscal 2018 and is now expected in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

“We believe one of the things that sets LS Mold apart from other shops is our Cimatron CAD/CAM capabilities. Cimatron really listened to our needs and it shows in how they implement our requirements in the software. The modeling package is first rate. It particularly shines in electrode creation. Customer support from Cimatron is outstanding.”

Jim Dent/David Koning, LS Mold

Both delays are significantly longer than the length of a protest period, but the Marine Corps and the Army explained that due to those delays testing schedules also had to be shifted.

The delays are due mainly to the disruption in executing the program when Lockheed Martin filed a protest of the Army’s decision to award Oshkosh Defense a contract to build the Humvee replacement. Oshkosh beat out Humvee-maker AM General and Lockheed for the $6.7 billion low-rate initial production contract award to build 16,901 vehicles.

“A 90-day delay grew into about six- or an eight-month delay just because of the difficulty of rescheduling a test phase that we were going to do, which then impacts the decision date for the full-rate production decision; which, in turn, puts our funding out of phase for the JLTV program ... which then allowed us to take a look at the time difference between the completion of testing and that whole rate production decision, and it ended up stretching out IOC about a year,” Dee explained.

“The program’s schedule is carefully sequenced to accomplish necessary testing and logistics development activities prior to conducting Multi-Ser vice Operational Testing and Evaluation (MOT&E),” Clow said. The MOT&E itself was originally scheduled in July 2017 and was moved to February 2018 because Marines and ranges would not be available in the November timeframe due to holidays and leave periods.

The new schedule allows time for the Marine

Corps to conduct its fielding decision r e v i e w ; a l l ow s for the retrofit of l ow - r at e i n i t i a l production vehicles to reflect changes resulting from operational test events; and allows for fielding activities that include “swap and installation” o f g ov e r n m e n t f u r n i s h e d equipment from fielded units, Manny Pacheco, ser vice spokesman for the program executive office land systems, said.

Despite the delay in IOC, the Army “remains on a remarkable path to deliver all of its anticipated vehicles to Soldier s and Marines roughly five years earlier t h a n p rev i o u s ly a n t i c i p at e d a n d at a significantly reduced cost than previously planned,” Clow noted.

Scott Davis, the program executive officer for CS&CSS, broke it down for repor ters at the Association of the US Army’s Global Force Symposium last month.

Anticipated savings within the JLTV program could allow the Army to field it earlier and quicker, he explained.

Those savings are a result of a savvy acquisition strategy.

Pratt Wins $1.04 Billion U.S. Deal For F-35 Fighter Engines Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp, has won an additional $1.04 billion contract for F-35 fighter jet engines, bringing the total value of its work on a ninth batch of the engines to $1.4 billion, the Pentagon said last month.

The contract announced finalizes part of an agreement in principle that Pratt reached with the U.S. Defense Department in January for more than $3.0 billion in two separate contracts - a ninth batch of 66 F135 engines and a 10th batch of 101 engines.

The $1.04 billion contract comes on top of $360 million in funding that had already been awarded to Pratt to sustain the F135 engine production line.

Pratt said the deal would further reduce the cost of the engines it builds for the Lockheed Martin Corp fighter jets, with further cost reductions to be included in the contract for the 10th batch of jets.

The company said the contract includes 53 conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) engines and 13 short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) propulsion systems for the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, and five other countries - Italy, Norway, Israel, Japan and Britain.

Mark Buongiorno, vice president of Pratt’s F135 engine program, said the F135 engine’s reliability rate was already over 90 percent, well ahead of a key 2020 requirement.

“We remain laser-focused on reducing costs, meeting our delivery schedule commitments, ensuring dependable engine performance, and preparing for global sustainment of the F-35 fleet,” he said in a statement.

To date, Pratt & Whitney has delivered 273 production engines for the advanced new stealth fighter.

& Your ISO 9001:2015 Certified Machine Shop That Is Bringing Work Back From China!

It’s true.Whitley Machine, in business for more than 3 decades now, is using its screw machines (they have 11 CNC screw machines) to bring products that were being manufactured in China back to the USA. The family-run company offers so many machining services today, from EDM, to laser, to waterjet, to screw machining, to die repair and metal stamping. And today they are ISO 9001:2015 certified!

When you grow up in a family of machinists, and you are mechanically inclined, you just intuitively learn the trade. And when your entree to manufacturing was tool and die making, you are typically so skilled that you can pretty much learn any new machining technique. And that is what happened with Clifford Whitley — he learned from his father and uncle.

Jerry founded Whitley Machine as a tool and die shop back in 1982, and Clifford joined at year later. His daughter Terri joined in 1995. Years later, Clifford saw a need in the market for EDM machining; he says that in particular EDM would allow the company to get rid of form grinding, and it was just so much more accurate. Over the next few years, the company added faster wire EDMs.Years later the company purchased EDM Tech to add sinker EDM to their capabilities. Clifford says, “With the acquisition of EDM Tech, Whitley Machine could now support customers’ EDM requirements with wire/small hole and sinker EDM machining.”

Sadly, Clifford’s father Jerry passed away a few years ago, but the business is still family run, with Clifford’s sister Terri Chambers and her daughter Shanda active in the business. The company continues to invest in technology, with 1-2 new machine tool purchases each year. And while they still offer die repair, they also offer laser, waterjet cutting, and metal stamping.

Customers often help a business to expand, and Whitley Machine had a customer who was having difficulties with their supplier in China - from long lead times, to poor quality. 2 years ago, Clifford launched a new division to the company, called Specialty Turn Products (STP), to support production capabilities with screw machining. This entity is growing so rapidly that todayWhitley Machine owns 11 CNC screw machines, and they run 24x7. Nearly all of the screw machines are 5 years old or newer.

Clifford says, “Customers were asking us to certify to the ISO standards, and we knew that we would get more projects from these customers if we achieved certification. I could see where it could easily pay for itself.” He continued, “I asked around to colleagues in the industry, and Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC, was very highly recommended.”Whitley Machine also contacted a local government entity, RevAZ, to find out that they could support Whitley Machine’s certification endeavor. In the end, they were confident in their decision to utilize BMSC as their consultant to prepare for ISO certification. “We waited to certify to the newest standard, ISO 9001:2015, and we also set the company up for AS9100 compliance”, Clifford said To learn more about how you can grow and improve your business with the newest standard, ISO 9001:2015, and with AS9100 certification, contact Bretta Kelly at BMSC (BusinessMSC. com or 602-445-9400).

Rugo Machine Shop Services (RMSS) announces its certification to the newest ISO standard, ISO 9001:2015!

Rugo Machine Shop Services (aka RMSS) is proud to announce that it has just certified to the newest ISO standard, ISO 9001: 2015!

Lindsey Rugo, Finance Manager, and wife of Frank Rugo, co-owner of the company, says, “We had 0 Findings on our audit – it was a perfect certification.”

The company is a precision machine shop that supports customers in the medical, automotive, aerospace, commercial/industrial, and renewable energy industries.

RMSS opened for business a decade ago with Frank Sr., an accomplished machinist, and his son, Frank Jr., who was fresh out of college, having studied business at Arizona State University. Frank Jr. says, “Frank Sr. had run several machine shops during his career, and he even had his own shop at one time. He had a strong technical background in machining and I was excited to combine that with my background in business.”

Frank Sr. agreed to open the business with his son.The 2 launched RMSS in 2006, with a couple of machines Frank Sr. had from his previous business, and they utilized Frank Sr.’s garage for their new entity. Frank Jr. says, “I moved back into my parent’s house, and we poured every bit of our earnings back into the business.”

Lindsey joined the business shortly after she and Frank married. Armed with a business degree from Arizona State University and an MBA from The Thunderbird School of Global Management, from the start Lindsey excelled at finding ways to maximize the company’s cash flow and profitability. In fact, in its early years of business, Lindsey pushed the company owners to purchase an ERP system. She says, “When

we bought our ERP System, Global Shop Solutions, we had mostly family members working at the company, and there were so few of us. Global Shop Solutions told us we were the smallest company ever to purchase their ERP system!” Frank Jr. says that this purchase and the implementation of the system was one of the best decisions the company made in its early years. “We would not have grown the way we have over the past decade if we didn’t have the processes an ERP system enables from the start.”

The entire RMSS team embraces technology. Frank says, “We always buy new machinery, and we select the machine tools needed based upon customer requirements, not because we favor one brand over another.

We are fortunate to have a great team of machinists that are mechanically inclined and always open to learning to new technology.” RMSS today owns Haas 4-axis capable CNC mill machines, along with a breadth of turning centers from Haas, Ganesh, Bridgeport, Kia, and Citizen. Their turning capabilities range from your standard lathe to complex twin spindle twin turret mill/turn centers, and include Swiss-type CNC turning centers. Frank says, “We first purchased the Ganesh Cyclone 32 machines for a customer we were making nozzles for.To produce the parts competitively, we needed a Swiss style machine. We purchased the Citizen Cincom A20 for an aerospace customer we were building stainless steel connectors for.With our Ganesh and Citizen machines, we can support customers with volumes ranging from 1000 to 20,000, and we equip all our turning centers with bar feeders and parts catchers so we can run complete parts lights-out, 24x7.” Lindsey adds, “We invest in the technology to allow us to produce the same parts faster and with less set-up time.” The company’s machines are all Wi-Fi enabled so that they can be monitored for the few hours that the shop is unattended.

Not only does RMSS look to invest in the latest machine technology they also invest in technology to support their processes. Frank says, “We have attended every IMTS (International Manufacturing Technology Show), since we started the company. Every time we attend the show, we come back with a new manufacturing technology that we can put to work on our shop floor to improve productivity and efficiency.” A couple of the most recent investments have been an automated tool vending system by Supply Pro to track and control their perishable tooling, along with Predator DNC software linked to their ERP system so that RMSS machinists just scan the bar code on their work order and the correct program is automatically loaded into their machining center every time.

RMSS has seen tremendous growth in its short existence, so much so that last year they made the ‘INC 5000 List of America’s Fastest Growing Companies’. In 2015, the company purchased the suite adjacent to the suite they owned — after completing the expansion at the end of last

year they more than doubled their manufacturing square footage.

The expansion gave RMSS space to dedicate more square footage to a fully enclosed temperature controlled quality control inspection room. At the same time they added Russ, a full time quality control manager, to their team. Frank says, “A commitment to quality has been a driver of success for our company, and as we expand we want to make sure that commitment is unwavering.”

I mentioned that Lindsey is a researcher. Last year, she found a competition that awarded winners with monies to implement energy reduction. Lindsey says, “The contest was the ACA Energy Reduction Mini-Challenge Competition, and we were one of the winners.” The funds RMSS was awarded were used to install energy efficient lights and fans throughout the facility, and the company that was awarded their business was ‘Big Ass Solutions’. Lindsey says, “With our energy efficient installation, we are projecting reduced lighting consumption of 60%, and a reduction of 70% in our fans. In essence, with the grant, we will see a pay-back on our investment in less than 1 year, and we are proud to demonstrate good environmental responsibility.”

The team at RMSS has also capitalized on a grant available from RevAZ, a program of the Arizona Commerce Authority and MEP (Manufacturing Extension Program), to take their business to the next level with ISO 9001:2015 certification. Lindsey says, “We contracted with Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC for consulting to help us to achieve the certification.” Work to begin the process of certification started in November of 2015 and they achieved certification in March – a short 5 months.

Lindsey says, “I started looking at BMSC’s template package, which at $3500 would require our team to do all of the legwork in preparation for certification.

That was about 3 years ago.” She continued, “At the time we couldn’t afford to dedicate one person to the process associated with getting certified. With the grant, we were able to capitalize on more support from BMSC to finally achieve this milestone.”

Frank says, “The team that we worked with from BMSC, including owner Bretta Kelly and her associate Debbie Hart, were outstanding. Not only are they extremely well versed in the ISO certification process, but also they are also very familiar with machine shops

and our industry.We knew we couldn’t go wrong because we always read about shops BMSC has been helping to achieve certification in the A2Z Manufacturing magazine!”

Frank says that certifying was a very prudent decision for the company. He adds, “It wasn’t easy, but it is improving our processes every day. You are shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t certify your business.” Frank Jr. says that Frank Sr., who runs the company’s 2nd shift, always wanted RMSS to achieve certification.

Russ Coss, Quality Control Manager for RMSS, says, “I certified with another company many years ago, and it was so much better with BMSC. I felt like they worked with us and with our company culture — I never felt they were forcing procedures on us that weren’t necessary.”

Jeff Niebuhr, Purchasing Manager for the company, was also involved in the ISO 9001:2015 certification. Jeff says, “The process with Bretta and Debbie was awesome. They looked at the way we did business, and then gave us some advice based upon their experience with other machine shops. They really listened, and helped develop a process that was perfect for RMSS.” What’s next for RMSS? Lindsey says that they are optimistic that they will move up the list on the INC 5000 List of America’s Fastest Growing Companies. She says that with revenues Q1 2016 up 50% over the same period last year, they are confident that this is achievable. Frank says that the company will continue its ongoing quest for automation – and he says that their next capital purchase will likely be a universal robotic arm for loading and unloading of parts.

If you are looking for a superior machine shop that takes calculated risks in investing in new technology, that strives to increase the efficiency for continuous improvement, and that is now ISO 9001: 2015 certified, contact RMSS at 623-780-5904 or visit their website at rugomachineshop. com. Lindsey says, “We are looking for an experienced Estimator, and we are always on the look-out for superior machinists wanting to join our team.” If you have the skills and desire, email Lindsey at LindseyRugo@ RugoMachineShop.com To learn more about how you can grow and improve your business with the newest standard, ISO 9001:2015, and with AS9100 certification, contact Bretta Kelly at BMSC (BusinessMSC.com or 602-445-9400).

To meet increased passenger traffic, Boeing said the region will require more than 2,500 new single-aisle aircraft over the next 20 years, reflecting the continued growth of low-cost carriers and further expansion of networks in the region.

Widebody demand is forecasted at 340 new aircraft as regional carriers continue to compete more strongly on long-haul routes. Currently, over two-thirds of twin-aisle departures from Latin America are on Boeing products.

According to Boeing, Latin America and the Caribbean now feature a younger fleet than the world average. Average airplane age in the region’s fleet continues to drop, going from more than 15 years in 2005 to less than 10 years today. The region has been in a steady replacement cycle since the mid-2000s and that trend will continue as nearly 60 percent of the current fleet is replaced over the next two decades.

The addition of the 787 Dreamliner to the LATAM, Avianca and Aeromexico fleets has allowed the airlines to open new routes and gain access to markets that were previously not possible. Aeromexico operates a nonstop 787 Dreamliner flight from Mexico City to Tokyo, a route that previously required a refueling stop.

In 2015, LATAM operated the world’s first 787 ETOPS mission beyond 180 minutes from Santiago, Chile to Auckland, New Zealand.

Later this year, LATAM will utilize the full 330 minute ETOPS on the same route, trimming 90 minutes off the flight tame and saving up to 2,500 gallons of fuel per trip.

Boeing Projects Latin America Will Need 3,050 New Aircraft By 2036

According to Boeing, the 787 Dreamliner’s capability and low-cost economics allow Latin American airlines to “unlock more point to point connections over remote regions of the world, allowing the airlines to expand their business and attract more customers.”

Boeing has forecast that Latin American airlines will need 3,050 new aircraft valued at $350 billion in the next two decades, tripling the region’s current fleet size.

3D-Printed Parts Help Make Airplanes More Fuel Efficient

“Over the long term, Latin American economies will grow faster than the rest of the world,” Boeing president-Latin America Donna Hrinak said. “This growth will create increased passenger traffic in the region and drive Latin American airlines to expand and compete for business that has traditionally been dominated by foreign operators.”

GE, Airbus and other aviation manufacturers are using 3D printing to make parts for airplanes. GE’s new 3D-printed fuel nozzle is 25% lighter than the conventional product. Using lighter components can make airplanes more fuel efficient.Source: MIT Technology Review online

House Seapower Markup Restores Ship, Aircraft Cuts The House Armed Services Committee has been a bastion of the more-more-more club, rejecting administration reductions to defense programs, opposing mandated sequestration cuts and urging higher levels of arms spending.

The election-year markups issued Tuesday by the body’s subcommittees continue to reflect those practices, and the mark proposed by the seapower and projection forces panel is no exception, boosting ship construction spending by more than $2 billion — a 12 percent jump over the administration’s request.

“This mark increases shipbuilding to $20.6 billion, $2.3 billion more than the President’s budget, and the highest level of shipbuilding funding since the ReaganLehman era, adjusting for inflation,” subcommittee chairman Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., said in a statement.

“With this legislation, we are rejecting further budget cuts, bending the curve lines, and making a down payment on the 350-ship Navy we need for national defense,” Forbes added.

The seapower markup adds two new ships — a littoral combat ship (LCS) and an amphibious ship — and completes full funding of a par tially funded destroyer from last year, an addition the subcommittee is counting as a full ship.

The mark seeks to prevent reductions in the cruiser, amphibious ship and mine warfare forces, and rules out the Navy’s proposal to eliminate a carrier wing.

The mark, a congressional source said, would prevent up to one-twelfth of the Navy’s active fleet from being retired.

Adding another LCS to the 2017 budget is a direct repudiation of Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s 2015 direction to cut LCS procurement to only one per year — a direction the Navy was able to partially overcome by requesting two LCSs in its budget proposal, a number based on industrial base considerations.

www.samuel.com The markup opposes future proposals to reduce or eliminate carrier refueling overhauls — in essence affirming the legally mandated 11-ship carrier fleet — and moves to accelerate carrier procurement from one every five years to one every four years.

The subcommittee also supports full research and development funding for the Air Force’s B-21 Long-Range Strike Bomber; provides for 15 KC-46A air-refueling tanker aircraft; adds three C-130J Hercules and four C-40 airlift aircraft from the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps Unfunded Requirements lists; and funds development of the Carrier-Based Aerial Refueling (CBARS) unmanned jet aircraft.

The policy bill would move current research and development funding for the SSBN(X) Ohio Replacement Program (ORP) into the National Sea-Based Deterrent Fund, created as a possible holding account dedicated only to the ballistic missile submarine program. The account currently holds no funds, but the first ship is scheduled to begin acquisition funding in 2021.

Forbes also directs the Navy to study options for continuing the multi-hull Virginia-class attack submarine going through the SSBN(X) production period, projected to continue into the 2030s.

ULA Is Teaming Up With Bigelow Aerospace To Launch Commercial Space Habitats The United Launch Alliance will launch Bigelow Aerospace’s inflatable space hotel on its Atlas V rocket sometime in 2020, the two companies announced. ULA has reserved a launch slot for the habitat, but neither company would say if a launch contract has been signed yet.

Bigelow is working on an expandable space habitat, called the B330, that would be a so-called commercial space hotel. The modules are compact during launch and inflate in space. Fully inflated, it would provide 330 cubic meters (12,000 cubic feet) of internal volume for crew members in orbit.That makes more overall room for crew — or what the company is calling “amateur astronauts.” The company’s chief executive officer Robert Bigelow, said today the company plans to build two full-scale B330 stations by 2019. Both could be sent to space by 2020.

According to Bigelow, the Atlas V rocket is the only vehicle capable of launching the B330 into lower Earth orbit. (SpaceX’s rockets are smaller on top and can’t hold as much, he said.) His goal is to get his inflatable space habitat attached to the International Space Station. NASA would be his main customer, since the B330 would increase the ISS’s total volume by almost a third, the CEO said. But ideally, paying customers would live there, too. “Our hope is that NASA would be the primary customer 6:33 AM for that structure and we’d be given permission [to commercialize it],” said Bigelow. “Essentially we’d be timesharing.” In the case of such a deal, Bigelow expects NASA’s commercial crew providers, SpaceX and Boeing, to transport people to and from the B330.

“Details on the ULA partnership aren’t clear” The company already has one partnership with NASA, on a different inflatable habitat called BEAM. It launched to the ISS on a SpaceX resupply mission on Friday, April 8th.The BEAM will be attached to the ISS in the coming months. Once inflated, it will remain for two years in order to see how well expandable technology holds up in space. A suite of sensors on board the BEAM will gather data about the module’s stay at the space station and provide data to Bigelow; this data will inform the design of the B330.

The B330 hasn’t been built yet, and details on the ULA partnership aren’t clear. The companies declined to say how much the partnership would cost. Nor would Bigelow say how the company is paying for the Atlas V launch. “It’s premature to talk in specifics about these kinds of things,” Bigelow said. ULA’s CEO Tory Bruno said that they’re “exploring how to accomplish this.”

Pratt said it was working with the Pentagon’s F-35 program office to finalize a contract for the 10th batch of jet engines by the end of April.

Lockheed Nabs $18.5M for F-35 Follow-On Development Lockheed Martin won an additional $18.5 million to continue work on developing an F-35 upgrade program, the Defense Department announced.

AN AS:9100 COMPANY

The Pentagon awarded Lockheed a $18.5 million modification to a previously awarded cost-plus, fixed-fee contract for development efforts for the F-35 Block 4 modernization program.

The contract includes $7.4 million, or 40 percent of the total, for the Air Force’s F-35As; $3.7 million, or 19.5 percent, for the Navy’s F-35Cs; $3.7 million, or $19.5 percent, for the Marine Corps F-35Bs; and $3.7 million, or 21 percent, for the international partners.

Although Lockheed’s work will apply to all F-35 variants, the contracting authority is Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Maryland.

The Block 4 modernization program is expected to cost $3 billion over the next six years.The effort will include upgrades to maintain viability against evolving threats, as well as a switch to a so-called open systems architecture that would make it easier to swap out sensors and other equipment on the jets in the future.

Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, chief of the F-35 joint program office, said earlier this month he expects a contract award for Block 4 in late 2018. He also said the Pentagon’s Joint Requirements Oversight Council will likely approve a road map for Block 4 this summer.

and try to implement predictive maintenance. If machines are running 24/7 with no time for maintenance, you’ll need to plan to add more equipment as part of your move.

How much space do you need for the machines both to operate and to maintain the equipment?

Try to look into the future and determine how much space you’ll need for new equipment, machine maintenance and moving pieces around. Be sure to follow legal codes and safety requirements.

Asking these questions will prepare you to take step three: explore your options.

Preparing for a Business Move Step 2: Review your Current Processes and Equipment

SpaceX Lands Falcon 9 Booster At Sea

This is the second part of the six-step series that will help you plan for and then execute a business move.

Each of these steps will help you coordinate your move to be organized and effective.

SpaceX hit a key milestone last month, successfully landing its Falcon 9 booster on a seagoing platform.

“It’s another step towards the stars,” SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said. “To really open up access to space, we’ve got to achieve full and rapid reusability, and being able to do that for the primary rocket booster is going to be a huge impact on cost.” Source: Space News International (4/8)

Step two is all about taking inventory of what your plant is currently doing, so you can decide what kind of move you need. To do this, ask yourself three questions.

Is this equipment running 24/7 or just five eight-hour shifts?

If you are running eight-hour shifts five days a week, why do you need a larger facility? This is a good time to ask yourself what you can do to improve your efficiency, while studying the micro level of your layout, which we discussed in step one.What is the downtime on the equipment and is there time to schedule maintenance?

Consider how well your equipment is running. Does it break down frequently? Look for patterns in problems A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

IMCO PRODUCTS INC. Makes Superior Precision Parts Exclusively With Haas Machine Tools Greg Gallagher, founder of IMCO Products, has a motto that he shares with customers — “There are 3 criteria everyone evaluates when they are purchasing products; 1) Quality 2) Delivery 3) Price Pick the 2 you want.”

In reality, while ‘Superior Quality’ and ‘On-Time Delivery” are the primary metrics IMCO Products utilizes to measure itself, this small business is typically more price competitive than others in the industry.

Greg adds, “We are virtually never late, and though we occasionally make an imperfect part, it never leaves our shop. Our customers see only good parts that are delivered on time.” IMCO Products also has customers who have brought their jobs back from overseas, and IMCO is able to support them with Quality, Delivery and Price. The company is equipped to support its customers from R&D prototypes to production runs.

Greg grew up in Northern California and he first learned the art of machining at the young age of 12. His father, Alvin Gallagher, was an engineer and a racecar driver. Greg helped his father with rebuilding and repairing racecars, even machining replacement parts. Alvin wasn’t just a bright engineer with a passion for racecar driving — in fact he was employed by Stanford University and he is a Nobel Prize Recipient!

In his early adult years, Greg was a serial entrepreneur, yet he alternated years of business ownership with subsequent years of working for others.

He owned his first machine shop at the young age of 24. He sold the successful business a few years later and went to work for United Airlines repairing jet engine landing gear. And when Alvin retired from his career, and found retirement ‘boring’, the father and son team started up another machine shop, which they named Contour Machining Company. At this time Greg was married, parents were retired, and both families made the decision to relocate to Arizona from California. Greg says, “We moved the business with us.”

The father/son team operated Contour Machining for a few years, and then once again Greg went to work for someone else as an employee, still remaining in his career, that of a machinist. But after 9 years of being an employee, when another company acquired his employer, he once again decided that he wanted to run his own business.

It was in 2007, when Greg and his wife Vina launched IMCO Products.

Greg says, “It is all or nothing with me. Once we decided to open a machine shop, I cashed in my 401K plan, leased a small space for the new shop, and opened for business.” Greg’s first machine tool purchase was a Haas VF2-SS, which the company still owns today. “Our Haas VF2-SS has been a workhorse for us for all these years, and while it is slower A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

than our newer Haas machines, it still gets the job done.”

IMCO Products supports a number of industries, including aerospace, automotive, firearms, motor sports, electronics and semiconductor, and the parts they make range from as small as a pea to as large as 8’ long. Business has been very good for the past years, so much so that the company operated initially in a 1000 square foot shop, 3 years later expanded to 2100 square feet, and today is growing again, into 3200 square feet. Greg says, “We’re doubling our revenues and doubling our machine tool capacity.”

About a year and a half ago, Greg brought on Tim Kehoe. Greg says, “Not only is Tim a superior machinist, but he is a phenomenal programmer — we run the GibbsCAM software, and the two of us work together to analyze how we can make our jobs run more efficiently.” Jameson Pack, Business Manager for Ellison Machinery, distributor of the Haas machines in Arizona, supports IMCO Products. Jameson says, “Greg and Tim are outstanding. On a regular basis, each of them can run 3 machines simultaneously.” Greg was so impressed with Tim that he made Tim a partner in the company recently.

Jameson says, “This company runs unattended, to really maximize their productivity. They build their own tooling, and it is not unusual for Greg to come back into the shop late at night to do a change-over.” He continued, “Between the partners Greg and Tim, you get more than 50 years of experience.” IMCO holds a special place in Jameson’s heart, as they were the very first customer he sold a machine to.

Greg says, “We are a 100% Haas shop for our CNC machine tools. We continue to buy their machines because they are not only fast, but they are extremely user friendly. We can bring in a new fairly inexperienced machinist and with some mentoring he can be running a Haas machine in weeks – they are just so easy to learn. ” He continued, “One of the most important reasons why we continue to buy Haas machines, and we buy from Ellison Machinery, is that their service is exceptional.When we have an issue with a machine, an Ellison Machinery service technician is here on the same day or the next day.The last repair they did for us is the very first time they ever didn’t have the replacement part on their van, so that they could get us up and running the day they arrived. In this last case, the part had to be shipped to us overnight, and the Ellison Machinery service tech was at our facility waiting for UPS to deliver the part.You just don’t find this kind of service anymore.”

When IMCO Products needs to finance a new machine, they rely upon Dave Bolt at SBG Capital. Greg says that Dave has helped them to finance every machine with the exception of their first purchase. “Dave does a great job for us”, he added.

Business at IMCO Products is very good, and Greg says it is fun. “We have great customers”, he elaborates. Greg guarantees you ‘Superior Quality’ and ‘On-Time Delivery’ when you select IMCO Products for your supplier. Don’t be surprised to learn that you will also receive very competitive pricing from this incredibly efficient machine shop.To learn how they can help you, call 480-632-2252 or visit IMCOProductsInc.Com To learn more about how Ellison Machinery can help you with all of your precision machining needs, call 480-968-5877 or visit EllisonAZ.com A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

Semiconductor Companies Bet Billions On Securing Market The long-suffering Valley semiconductor industry may be headed for new growth, thanks to a handful of companies and a global consolidation that is changing the face of the sector.

Plating & Metal Finishing: • Gold • Silver • Copper • Bright Nickel • Electroless Nickel • Sulfamate Nickel • Matte Tin • Tin/Lead 60/40 • Chemfilm • Passivation • Polishing • Chrome

With two massive billion-dollar acquisitions planned by local semiconductor companies, the Phoenix market is expected to have long-term growth in the industry. That comes in the face of competition from cash-heavy Chinese firms that loom over the semiconductor industry, said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor Corp. president and CEO. The ubiquity of semiconductors has expanded as nearly everything from personal computers to cars have their share of the devices. In the Internet of Things era, semiconductors have even more opportunities.

The past decade has seen plenty of consolidation in the sector, which is a natural result of a maturing industry where growth has slowed dramatically, according to experts.

As the consolidation is slowing and the smoke is clearing, the Valley still has a substantial industry with more than 33,000 employees, according to state and federal statistics, is at the leading edge of introducing new technology to the world.

We Are a Precious Metal Plating Facility covering the Southwest specializing in Gold and other plating.

The Valley’s semiconductor industry, while considered a secondary manufacturing hub by analysts behind Silicon Valley in California and Austin, Texas, has several well-known companies. Santa Clara, California-based Intel Corp. has a large presence in Chandler with more than 11,000 employees.

Horizon Aviation & Machining Inc. Believes in Supporting Manufacturing In the USA

Steve Oldham, co-owner of Horizon Aviation & Machining with his wife Trish, does everything he can to support manufacturing in this country and he practices what he believes in. The ISO9001:2008/AS9100 Revision C certified company is a designated ‘Woman-Owned’ and ‘Veteran-Owned’ Business. What are he and Trish doing that is so remarkable?

Mentorship Within The Company

Buying State-of-the-Art Machine Tool Technology (That by the way is manufactured in The USA)

Steve has spent his entire career in manufacturing, here in Arizona.When his long-term employer’s promise of business partnership/ownership for Steve didn’t materialize, he and Trish made the decision to start their own business. Steve says, “We opened for business in our garage at our house, the business occupied about 1500 square feet, and we started with just one machine, a Haas VF1.”That was in 2000, less than 2 decades ago. Business grew from the onset, and sometimes, you can credit a little luck coupled with determination to succeed. “Trish was shopping and met a man who was trying to get his wicker table repaired. She referred him to me — I wasn’t happy because this wasn’t the business I was in.” He continued, “I repaired the table for the gentleman, and it turns out he worked for a major aerospace/defense company. About a year later, we were offered the opportunity to build parts for this company, and still today we are an approved supplier.”

When the business outgrew the Oldham’s garage, Steve looked for an industrial space to grow his business. “We had 4 machines at the time we were relocating, all Haas machines.Today, the facility is 17,000 square feet and Horizon Aviation & Machining owns 12 Haas machines.

Steve says, “The Haas machines offer price points that have allowed me to

Steve readily admits that he prefers to hire great people who don’t have manufacturing experience. “Most companies don’t train their people”, he says, “so they have no reason to stick around.They will go next door for an extra dollar because they don’t see a future with their current employer.”

Steve has 3 exceptional long-term employees who are key to the company’s success. Husband and wife team Linda and Mike Montgomery and Sean Fleming are employees who Steve is mentoring to take over the company when he retires years from now. Steve says that the 3 all came from industries outside of manufacturing, but over the years they have learned the business and the industry, and they are his ‘succession plan’. “We are losing manufacturing expertise, and I want to do what I can to perpetuate this industry”, Steve adds.

departments. They also will inspect parts for companies that don’t have stateof-the-art CMM equipment in house.

Steve says, “Steve Meredith, owner of Dimensional AnalysisTechnologies, has been invaluable to my company, and I wanted to help him — he is training our next generation of Quality Inspectors.

He has shared his expertise in CMMs and in inspection overall with my team, and that is invaluable. I had some space that I was able to offer him, and it is working well for our partnership.”

expand at a much faster rate than I would have if I had purchased other, more costly machine tools.” He continued, “I value the fact that they are manufactured in the United States. Not only does this make me feel good, it also means that I can get service you wouldn’t get with a non-US made machine. I’ve experienced with past employment Japanese or Korean machines that go down and it takes months to get them serviced, up and running.”

Steve says that with the Haas machines, distributed and supported through local dealer Ellison Machinery, that if one of his machines go down, even at night, they always have the part on the truck same or next day. Steve says that the partnership between the Haas factory, his company and his local dealer is really good.

Horizon Aviation & Machining is truly a ‘One Stop’ Shop The company is located in Surprise, Arizona. Though it is a suburb of Phoenix, it is a distance from many of the processing houses. Steve says, “We were the first aerospace machine shop to locate in Surprise, and both Maricopa County and the town of Surprise have been good to us.” Several years ago, Steve and the Horizon Aviation team made the decision to offer heat treat, painting, welding, and assembly all in-house. They also have full 5 axis inspection capabilities with their Wenzel CMM. The company, long certified to ISO9001:2008 and AS9100, designed their own ERP software system, and Steve says that today they are nearly 100% paperless.

Supporting Small Companies in The Industry For one, Steve is facilitating the growth of two companies he views as partners. Dimensional Analysis Technologies, Inc. offers CMM support, both as a reseller of the equipment, as well as a training entity to quality

Another company, called SecureTracks is manufacturing ambulatory patient support systems designed to prevent falls, improve patient outcomes and decrease post surgical pain. Secure Tracks improves the patients’ natural gait and ultimately helps them walk sooner. Founder Les Dace was a ‘walk-in’ customer to Horizon Aviation & Machining a few years ago. He had designed an ambulatory system for use in hospitals and rehabilitation centers to support patients who are practicing walking once they have had surgery.

Les was in a bind — the machine shop he was utilizing to build his first production product wasn’t delivering, and he was scheduled to deliver the SecureTracks ambulatory system to his first customer. Steve says, “It was right before Christmas, and we agreed to take on the project to help Les meet his schedule.”Today, Horizon Aviation & Machining builds all of Les’ systems, and the partnership is so strong that Les now occupies space in Steve’s shop. “We are partners”, Steve says. Les not only appreciates what Steve and his team did in getting product manufactured on time, but , as Les says, “Steve has been instrumental in the design of our next generation products.”

It’s All About 5 -Axis!

Horizon Aviation makes some very difficult par ts, with tolerances as tight as .0002.When Chris Hansen, Business Manager for Ellison Machinery, took over the Horizon Aviation account, he immediately recognized the fact that his customer would benefit from 5 axis machining. Chris is an engineer by education, and was a general manager for a machine shop prior to joining Ellison Machinery, so he can easily determine the machine his customers need. Steve says, “Chris was telling us for more than A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

a year how we would benefit from the Haas 5-axis machine, the UMC750. Sean and I just weren’t comfortable with the decision — we anticipated a large learning curve.” Finally, the management team looked at all the benefits that the 5-axis machine would bring to their company, and they trusted Chris when he told them they would get all the support they needed. Chris says, “We brought Tim Gaylor, our applications engineer in to Horizon Aviation for a full 2 day training session, and then Tim provides support going forward on an as-needed basis (Haas offers training for the life of their machines).” Sean says, “We were up and running our first production parts in about 2 weeks.” Sean likens the new Haas UMC 750 to having an extra employee, though Steve says it is more like having several more people!

Sean says that while the Haas 5 axis UMC750 is still new to the company, they are already seeing astounding results. “With one part that took us 5.5 hours to machine, we are making this same part in 1.5 hours.

Horizon Aviation made the seemingly difficult decision to purchase their first 5-axis machine because of a customer’s parts. Sean says, “The size and contour called for 5 axis machining and the customer was requiring cost reductions. Technology was the only way we were going to meet his cost requirements.”

Steve says, “I thought learning the 5 axis machining would take 6 months — in reality it took about 2 weeks.” He continued, “Going forward, I am going to be all 5 axis. If I knew what I know today, I would tell every precision machine shop owner to purchase a 5-axis machine. I would even tell a person just opening their machine shop for the first time — buy a 5axis machine. And buy it from Ellison Machinery, the distributor for the Haas machines. It will make you much more efficient and competitive — on one job, we were using 5 machines to make a part.With our 5 axis Haas UMC750, we are making the part on one machine.”

Horizon Aviation actually embraced 5 axis capabilities with the purchase of their CMM. Steve says, “We went from manual inspection to full 5axis inspection capabilities with our Wenzel CMM, purchased through partner Steve Meredith.”

An Inside Look at Dimensional Analysis Technologies S t eve M e re d i t h i s a n aviation nut. Immediately after college studying Aeronautical Engineering Te c h n o l o g y, h e w a s introduced to the world of CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines).

During the course of his career, Steve worked for aerospace giant Goodrich, and he supported customers asWestern Regional Manager for a CMM manufacturer.

In 2012, Steve started his own company, called Dimensional Analysis Technologies, which not only carries the fine Wenzel line of products, but the company also offers CMM training for Quality departments. Steve says, “Our company additionally provides inspection services for customers who don’t have inhouse CMM capabilities required for precision parts. When a company has a CMM and they need programming, we can write their programs for them offline and email them back. This way, our customer’s valuable machine time is not interrupted.”

An Inside Look at SecureTracks Les Dace and his wife had retired in Sun City, Arizona. Les is an engineer by education, and had had Executive Management positions in the medical software field. The Dace’s had relatives who had fallen while recovering from Arthroplasty surgery (e.g. hip/knee replacement) in the hospital. One night, Les says, his wife woke up during the night with an epiphany. “She described the device I needed to productize in tremendous detail — in fact the product we have developed is 90% of what she originally envisioned.”

Les says that 1 of every 10 patients falls while in the hospital. Of those, about 30% are injured severely.

SecureTracks is a mechanical therapy system consisting of a ceiling-mounted monorail track, an exclusive “patented” trolley and a support frame that allows patients to stand completely upright and walk with a natural gait. To date, SecureTracks systems are installed in hospitals and rehabilitation centers in Arizona, Nevada, and Minnesota.

Arizona Set For Major ROI On Orbital ATK Gilbert Expansion Arizona is poised for a hefty $25 million return on investment if Orbital ATK makes good on its recent expansion efforts in the SoutheastValley.

Spindles for All Aerospace Applications Aluminum, Composite & Titanium Machining

The Orbital expansion, which includes 60,000 square feet of additional space and 155 high-wage jobs, qualified for $750,000 from the Arizona Competes Fund.

GMN USA has it all!

To receive those funds, Orbital has to put its money into capital improvements and hiring first, then it can apply for quality job tax credits and reimbursements from the Competes Fund.

The company entered into an agreement first with Gilbert then with Arizona committing between $12 million and $19 million in the expansion of the SunCap Property Group-developed project in Gilbert.

Orbital is also hiring a minimum of 155 new engineering positions.

GMN spindles for OEM & retrofit applications Repair/Service for GMN & most other makes and models Spindle support systems Manufacturing & servicing spindles for over 85 years

Those jobs pay well over $130,000 each, said Dan Henderson, Gilbert economic development director.

“That’s before benefits,” he said. “We’re talking about a $21 million payroll in the city.”

Orbital isn’t waiting to fill the jobs. Barron Beneski, Orbital ATK vice president of investor relations and communications said the company We pr ide o u r s e l ve s o n o u r iss ehiring r v i ce anow, n d q looking u a l i t y p ro u c t sas locally as possible but also recruiting todhire from out of state.

Arizona Company To Hire, Further Expand Phoenix Operations With Recent FDA Device Approval The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved W.L. Gore & Associates Inc.’s medical device to treat certain aneurysms when other treatments in the past would cause sexual dysfunction.

The treatment is designed to conquer the effects of previous treatments, which included reduced blood flow to the pelvic area, cramping pains in the buttocks and inflammation of the large intestine.

W.L. Gore & Associates Inc. now can begin marketing this medical device.

Based in Flagstaff,W.L. Gore has been expanding its operations in Phoenix over the past four years.That expansion will continue as its Gore Excluder Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis, or IBE, device is manufactured in Phoenix, said Ryan Takeuchi, Gore Aortic Business leader.

The expansion will create the need to hire more engineers.

Of Gore’s 10,000 employees worldwide, 2,000 work in the company’s Flagstaff headquarters and another 500 are in the Phoenix operations, where Gore has more than 400,000 square feet, he said.“We have a commitment to continue to grow in Phoenix,” he said.

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

While the company doesn’t disclose how much it cost to get the device to market or how much revenue it will generate, Takeuchi said both numbers are in the millions.

The IBE is the first to be approved by the FDA to treat common iliac artery aneurysms or aortoiliac aneurysms.

The stent used to hold open collapsed arteries is different from previous ones because others are straight. It allows branch arteries to stay open instead of being blocked as previous stents did, which keeps blood flow moving to the pelvic area. In previous stents, it would simply block off all branch arteries, potentially causing the patient future circulation problems.

FDA approval is extremely important because it provides a solution for a patient group with a previously unmet treatment need, Takeuchi said.

Dr. Richard Heuser, an interventional cardiologist who has developed his own stents during the past several years, said he looks forward to using Gore’s new device. “It’s a good step forward, and it’s good to see that somebody in this state has done this,” said Heuser, who also serves as chief of cardiology for St. Luke’s Medical Center and professor of medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix.

Cardiologists perform this as a minimally invasive procedure, allowing a quicker healing time than an open operation, he said.

Analytical Research and Testing Laboratories (ARTL) Certifies To AS9100C / ISO 9001:2008 “Southwest Turbine Inc. (STI) is a manufacturer of aircraft turbine engine parts and has been associated with ARTL since their first day in business.

Our decision to use ARTL for our materials testing is based on trust, professionalism, accuracy, and execution. STI’s engineering designs, process improvements, failure analysis, as well as warranty consideration are based on the accuracy, integrity, and comprehensiveness of ARTL’s analysis and reports. ARTL has consistently demonstrated a true customer satisfaction policy, technical proficiency, and outstanding lab capabilities.” — Stephen R.Yeary; President & CEO, Southwest Turbine Inc. Analytical Research and Testing Laboratories (ARTL), a materials testing lab, is pleased to announce that it certified to AS9100C / ISO9001: 2008! The company was founded

by Keith Bailey, a degreed Materials Science Engineer.

Keith says, “I have 15 years of experience with aerospace component analyses and failure analyses. Our services are utilized by manufacturing companies in the aerospace, construction, automotive and semiconductor industries as well as for litigation and insurance technical support.”

ARTL has state of the art equipment and testing capabilities, including; √ Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) for base alloy elemental analysis of aluminum, copper, iron, nickel, titanium, and cobalt base alloys √ Rockwell/Superficial Hardness Testing for heat treatment verification, presence of a hardened case… √ Micro Hardness Testing (Knoop/Vickers) for analysis of platings, coatings, small parts, welds, decarburization and case depth √ Optical Microscopy Evaluation for IGA, MMR, porosity, coating thickness, grain size, material form, microstructural analysis, re-cast layer evaluation… √ Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) spectroscopy for fractography/failure mode determination, microstructural analysis (gamma prime, casting defects), coating analysis, particle/shaving elemental analysis, corrosion product analysis… √ Fourier Transform (FTIR) spectroscopy for polymer, adhesive and liquid analysis √ Reverse engineering and material consultation √ Weld Certification √ Failure Analysis ARTL opened for business 5 years ago, in 2011. Keith says, “We compete with large testing labs that do analysis, and our customers come to ARTL because they not only value our credentials and expertise, but they often prefer to work with a small company that provides a higher level of customer service.” He continued, “With our low overhead, we can do the testing much more cost effectively and with better turn-around than a national or global lab can offer.”

Keith says that ARTL is very conveniently located in Phoenix, close to the airport even though many of ARTL’s customers reside throughout the United States. Keith says, “We want to grow our Arizona customer base, and our centrally located lab allows Phoenix based companies the convenience to come to the lab if/when necessary.”

Late last year, Keith made the decision to certify ARTL to AS9100C / ISO 9001:2008. Keith says, “I was talking to a colleague in the industry, and he so highly recommended Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC, for consultation to help us to achieve this milestone.” Keith says that his colleague’s endorsement of Bretta was so strong that he didn’t interview other consultants for the ISO process.

“Bretta and her colleague Debbie Hart know the AS9100/ISO certification process so well. We spent A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

several hours each week from the time I contracted with them, which was at the beginning of the year.” He continued, “We certified early in April, and we had, in the words of the Auditors, ‘No minors’, ‘No majors’, and we didn’t even have ‘Observations’.”

Bretta says, “ARTL is well prepared for the future ISO requirements — in the upcoming AS9100D / ISO 9001:2015 Standards, we expect that there will be requirements for material testing. The requirements for Process to validate test reports for raw material used in critical items is slated to be added back into the AS9100D Standard in section 8.0.”

What’s next for ATRL? Keith says the company is already planning for NADCAP certification, which they expect to complete this year. Keith says that he will use BMSC’s service for the NADCAP Accreditation.

To learn more about how ARTL can help with all of your aerospace component and failure analyses, contact them at 602-3938158, email Keith at kbailey@artl-llc.com or visit their website at www.artl-llc.com To learn how BMSC can help your company to prepare for ISO9001/ AS9100 certifications or for NADCAP Accreditation, contact Bretta Kelly at 602445-9400 or visit www.BusinessMSC. com. Bretta invites you to contact her to learn more about their templated systems and workshops she offers covering the requirements of the newly released Standards (AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015).

Two U.S. electrooptics companies are helping the U.S Army upgrade forward-looking infrared sensor s -- better-known as FLIR-- for improved targeting and surveillance for ar mored combat

Officials of the Army Contracting Command earlier this month awarded three contracts to Raytheon Co. and to DRS Technologies Inc. for components related to Army third-generation forward looking infrared sensor technology.

Electro optics experts at the Raytheon Co. Missile Systems segment won a $56.7 million contract for engineering, manufacturing and development (EMD) of B-Kits for the third-generation forward looking infrared program.

B-Kits consist of components that will be integrated to sights of

ground vehicles, Army officials say. B-Kits for the third-generation forward looking infrared program consist of common components that will be integrated into vehicle sights for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition. These B-Kit upgrades will help Army infrared sensors aboard land vehicles provide a common picture across all host vehicles.

Common components include high-definition mid-wave infrared and longwave infrared dual-band focal plane array, Dewar Cooler Bench (DCB), optics, and electronics to convert thermal radiation into video images.

Also recently Raytheon Vision Systems in Goleta, Calif., won a $26.8 million contract to design and build a production Dewar cooler bench to improve the Army’s existing third-generation forward looking infrared sensor technology.

Finally, on 15 March the DRS Network & Imaging Systems segment in Dallas won a $26.1 million contract also to design and build a production Dewar cooler bench to improve the Army’s existing third-generation forward looking infrared sensor technology.

Raytheon and DRS are teaming to provide the Army with third-generation forward-looking infrared technology.The two companies also teamed on the Army’s second-generation forward-looking infrared program.

Third-generation FLIR technology will replace second-generation FLIR sights, starting with those in the Abrams tank and the Bradley fighting vehicle and may expand to include third-generation upgrades to the Long Range Advance Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3) and other current or future ground or aviation sights, Army officials say.

We specialize in sheet metal and cast valves, heat shields, flow sensors, brackets and other precision hardware.

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

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 78 • May / June 2016 • 48 • Nov / Dec 2015

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 79
