Editor’s Corner Spring Cleaning and Positive Change “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”

-William Morris Spring is a time of rejuvenation, of rebirth and yes, springcleaning and organizing.

For a manufacturing facility it’s a time for looking at what isn’t working, what isn’t being used, and for throwing out old habits that are not working for the betterment of the company. Out with the old, in with the functional, and make sure the old stays in the trashcan.

In a manufacturing facility we call it a ‘5S opportunity’. These are five 5S phases. They can be translated from the Japanese as “sort”, “set in order”, “shine”, “standardize”, and “sustain”.

Other translations are possible. 5S was developed in Japan and was identified as one of the techniques that enabled ‘Just in Time manufacturing’.

Two major frameworks for understanding and applying 5S to business environments have arisen, one proposed by Osada, the other by Hiroyuki Hirano. Hirano provided a structure to improve programs with a series of identifiable steps, each building on its previous one.

Of course continuous improvement means we make these changes and upgrades all the time.

When something doesn’t work, a job traveler is incorrect, a methodology lost us money, or any business practice that doesn’t create a positive end, we must change it, and document it!

Then when we receive a recurring order we can quote it correctly and make it correctly.This helps the business grow continuously stronger and more successful.

Example: If a company finds out that a component was engineered correctly, tooled correctly, processed correctly, and the last deburring operation was not completed correctly, and it passed inspection, that company is as strong as its weakest link, deburr, and inspection. Something must change quickly.

Finding out what doesn’t work well for the business model, and changing the business processes, fixing a problem, and maintaining the new practice will strengthen the weakest link or links and as a whole the business will maintain a stronger posture. This must be enforced and supported by upper management.

At first blush it appears deburr missed the mark. But after reviewing the whole process what comes to light is deburr and quality with limited time and limited resources rushed through to meet the delivery and some parts were missed in the process. It’s very important to map the absolute amount of time every department needs to do a great job!

Proper prior planning is worth every minute we spend on it!

Until next time, thank you for your support of our manufacturing magazines and God Bless our troops!

Announcements & Releases Hexagon Releases PC-DMIS 2019 R1 Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division today launched PC-DMIS 2019 R1, the latest edition of the world’s most popular measurement software. This is the first of two major releases scheduled for 2019, with continued service pack updates to ensure maximum reliability of the platform. PC-DMIS 2019 R1 introduces the new GD&T Selection and Capture tool which saves the user time, effort and will reduce input errors by automatically transferring GD&T data from 2D ‘blueprints’ into the PC-DMIS measurement routine. This is achieved using optical character recognition (OCR) technology and is an industry-leading innovation within metrology software. The new PC-DMIS Protect module is ideal for customers with stringent process controls and auditing standards as Protect enables users to control access to measurement routines and track modifications to them (available as a paid option). Only users with permission can amend protected routines and the business can track and audit any changes.

The new Universal Updater is a simple, intuitive tool allowing users to manage software updates for all Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence software, learn about complementary products, stay up-to-date with Hexagon news and gain linked access to Hexagon community platforms.

Reporting flexibility has also been significantly improved with the Excel Forms Report function. Users can now define the structure and layout of the Excel report to meet the varying reporting needs of the business and A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

PC-DMIS will populate it automatically.

Probe protection has been improved with enhanced calibration collision avoidance capability. During the user’s regular measuring system calibration, a new layer of intelligence allows PC-DMIS to identify areas of possible collision and ensure collisions between the probe and any fixed surface are avoided. Likewise, PC-DMIS 2019 R1 automatically inserts safe moves needed to avoid collisions around complex parts directly into the measurement routine.

“We are very pleased to release this latest version of our market-leading metrology software PC-DMIS,” says Ken Woodbine, Product Line Manager for Metrology Software at Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence.

“PC-DMIS 2019 R1 continues the trend towards optimizing each of the three primary metrology tasks of measurement creation, execution, and collaboration. The improvements in this version bring us ever closer to a perfect balance between user experience and capability.”

There was once a time when requirements about training and training records seemed to take up a large portion of the early ISO 9001 standards. In the ISO 9001:2008 Standard there was a shift of focus away from training and towards competency. In the most recent standard, ISO 9001:2015, the word training does not appear in the standard; only competency and awareness can be found.

In the past there was a considerable amount of confusion between training an employee and evaluating whether or not he or she was competent.

Simply having records that show completion of training does not prove the employee received proper training. If an individual is not able to meet the objectives of the process, then the training is deemed ineffective.The most important part of the training is measuring the effectiveness of the training based on the employee’s performance according to the objectives and expectations of the process.

GMA GARNET GROUP when your abrasive matters!

Employees who require little to no training do exist. On the other hand, some employees may struggle to meet the objectives lined out in the process. In the case of evaluating competency, the most effective form of training can be identified.While some require hands on training, others are more familiar with test taking, whereas some may prefer to practice using the tools the company uses. As companies get better at defining the expectations, their evaluation of employees will get better as well; while this entire process goes on, a company can also measure the effectiveness of its training programs.

Big Kaiser Presents 3rd Annual Donation to NRL

D. Retain appropriate documented information to show evidence of competency.

During the annual meeting of the National Tooling and Machining Association, Chris Kaiser, president and CEO of Big Kaiser, presented a donation for $6,675 to benefit the NTMA’s National Robotics League (NRL).The donation was the result of a year-end promotion by metalcutting tooling systems and solutions manufacturer Big Kaiser, giving back to the association a percentage of every order by an NTMA or AMT member company. Manufacturers placed orders for cutting tools, tool holders, workholding and tool measurement systems, earning funds for the NRL at the same time.

What do employees need to be aware of for ISO 9001:2015 Standard?

There is a section of the ISO 9001:2015 Standard that outlines what employees need to be aware of. Previous requirements included the policy; many companies post the quality policy and employees are expected to memorize it, some companies even had it posted on the back of their employees’ badges! The intent of having an entire section of the standard dedicated to employee awareness is so that companies don’t have their employees just memorize the quality policy like in the past. Now, employees are expected to understand what the policy and objectives are. It is important that the employee knows not only what the quality policy and high-level objectives are, they are also expected to know how their job contributes to the effectives of the business management system.

It is also important that the employee understands what they should do when something goes wrong in a process (control of nonconforming).

For aerospace companies, employees need to be aware of all changes to documents, product safety, and the importance of ethical behavior. It has been found that the best way to train and prepare employees for how to answer questions about employee awareness during an audit is to conduct a training and go through examples for each item under section 7.3 of the standard that they need to be aware of, one by one. It is also best to let them keep documents to reference.

“We all know it is critical for us to engage the next generation in manufacturing at the company, community and national levels,” Kaiser explained. “This year-end promotion is one way for Big Kaiser to show support for the NTMA and to promote workforce development and STEM programs.”

The NRL is a manufacturing workforce development program of the NTMA where students design and build remote-controlled robots to faceoff in a gladiator-style competition. Through the manufacturing process of Bot building, students’ imaginations are captured as they design, build and compete with their own robotic creations.

Through this hands-on effort along with industry partnerships, students gain practical knowledge of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) — all essential skills for manufacturing.

Shearing Waterjet Cutting Plasma Cutting Heat Treating Ultrasonic Testing Forgings And much more!

One of the largest conundrums involves shipping electricity efficiently and with minimal impact over long distances — from, say, empty prairie into the heart of densely populated cities . A leading solution involves a combination of high- and medium-voltage direct current transmission lines, which are more efficient over long distances than alternating current lines and can handle more power. In fact, many planners believe that to accommodate growing demand for electrical power, much of it from renewables, the main and secondary trunk lines of the current AC electrical grid should be converted to DC. But that conversion would require new designs for grid components, such as circuit breakers, that can handle DC power.

To start building that future, the Energy Department’s ARPA-E recently awarded a team of engineers at GE Research $5.8 million to develop a superfast mediumvoltage DC (MVDC) circuit breaker.The GE engineers plan to use gas-plasma technology to build a superfast switch.

Fast circuit breakers are essential components of any DC electrical grid. If a tree falls on a transmission line and takes it down, the current needs to be shut off quickly before the disruption ripples through the network of transmission lines and causes A STOCKING PROVIDER Of HIGH TEMPERATURE ALLOYS extensive outages. A direct current grid Call Our Team Today! would need circuit breakers in the high714-279-0249, 800-227-8103 voltage transmission lines that take power to www.altempalloys.com a city, and in the medium-voltage distribution lines that branch out and take power to city FUTURE OF ENERGY neighborhoods. A big city would need a dozen or more of switches on the MVDC lines.

Switch It Up: Superfast DC Circuit Breaker

Could Unlock Renewables’ Full Potential

America’s Great Plains are a windy place. In the 1930s, vast clouds of dust ruined crops and forced thousands to migrate off their farms, inspiring John Steinbeck’s novel “The Grapes of Wrath.”

That same persistent and powerful wind is now inspiring a boom in wind turbine farms. Two Texas sites — Roscoe and Horse Hollow — each produce more than 700 megawatts of electrical power, as much as a combined-cycle power plant, and more wind farms are in the offing. But A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST

• 14 • APR - MAY ‘19

Existing DC breaker prototypes, developed for high-voltage point-to-point transmission lines, are generally too big, expensive and slow for use on an MVDC distribution grid. A typical HVDC breaker might measure 10 by 10 by 25 feet, need an air-conditioned building and cost between $5 million and $10 million, saysTimothy Sommerer, the principal investigator on the ARPA-E grant. One reason they’re so bulky is that they are hybrid devices:A temporary breaker made of semiconductor switches shuts down the current in a few milliseconds, which gives a main mechanical breaker time to open. Such a configuration would be too expensive to deploy for an MVDC grid.

The big challenge in designing a MVDC breaker is managing the constant flow of current, unlike AC, which alternates between plus and minus along a sine wave. “The reason DC is so difficult is because there’s never a zero-

voltage crossing in the current,” Sommerer says.

“In AC, you can pull the contacts apart.You may get an arc, but within half a cycle the current goes to zero, the arc extinguishes and you’re done.With DC, if you get an arc, it never stops.”

Among the advantages of plasma switches is their smaller size. Semiconductors switches can also operate quickly, but they must be spaced apart to stay cool. As a result, the equipment can grow quite large. Since plasma switches can operate at much higher temperatures, they can work closer together and fit inside a smaller footprint As part of the program, GE will build a demonstration breaker that operates at 100 amperes — about one-tenth what a gridready breaker would need to handle. “If we are really going to decarbonize the economy, then we have to electrify not only transportation, but also eliminate fuel oil and natural gas for heating buildings, so the loads on the grid could really increase over time. by Fred Guterl

Training Future Workers at Summer Manufacturing Camps The foundation of the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies (PMMI) is partnering with the foundation of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, Int’l. to support twenty camps in 2020 and 2010.

The industry is hoping that exposure to the industry will “inspire the future manufacturing workforce to explore career opportunities in packaging and processing.”

PMMI’s foundation is proving a $100,000 grant to Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs (NBT) to produce the camps.This summer, NBT will support a record number of 133 camps across the U.S. “One of the most wide-spread challenges cited by our members is how to address the growing skills gap within the packaging and processing equipment manufacturing industry,” says Jim Pittas, CEO, PMMI. The grant will support 300 students, ages 12 to 16, to be introduced to the manufacturing process from design through production.

One or two-week long summer camps have been a successful way of introducing middle and high school students to the high-tech career choices available in today’s advanced manufacturing industry. Camps allow students to make something with their own hands, sparking their imagination and encouraging them to consider a career in manufacturing. This summer, NBT will support a record number of 133 camps across the U.S.

To be eligible for camp grant funding, schools must be able to accommodate at least 12 students at their facility, direct an entrepreneurship camp curriculum, introduce manufacturing processes that allow hands-on experiences to build a take-home project, and provide opportunities to tour local manufacturing plants during the camp.

“For most of the kids who attend these camps, it is their first introduction to how things are made and what skills are required for entry into the world of manufacturing,” said Edward Youdell, president and CEO of FMA and NBT. “The associated tours of manufacturing businesses that these campers take part in, help to connect the skills they learn during camp to career opportunities available in their community.We can’t start too early in our effort to attract the best and brightest into manufacturing.”

Since 1998, PMMI has provided over $2 million in financial support to students at over 40 partner schools throughout the U.S and Canada.

U.S. Employment Report Points To Growing Economy, Tame Inflation U.S. employment g r o w t h accelerated from a 17-month low in March, assuaging fears of an abrupt s l ow d ow n i n economic activity, but a moderation in wage gains supported the Federal Reserve’s decision to suspend further interest rate increases this year.

Milder weather boosted hiring in sectors like construction, but worsening worker shortages and lingering effects of tighter financial market conditions at the turn of the year left job growth below 2018’s brisk pace. The Labor Department’s closely watched employment report on Friday also showed a small upward revision to February’s meager job gains.

U.S. stocks. The dollar rose marginally against a basket of currencies, while U.S. Treasury prices were mixed.

The employment report added to fairly upbeat construction spending and factory data that led Wall Street banks to boost their growth estimates for the first quarter.

Growth forecasts for the first quarter are between a 1.4 percent and 2.1 percent annualized rate.The economy grew at a 2.2 percent rate in the fourth quarter, stepping down from the July-September quarter’s brisk 3.4 percent pace.

Average hourly earnings increased by 0.1 percent in March after jumping 0.4 percent in February. That lowered the annual increase in wages to 3.2 percent from 3.4 percent in February, which was the biggest gain since April 2009.

The length of the average workweek rose to 34.5 hours from 34.4 hours in February. As a result of the rebound in employment, modest wage gains and more hours worked, the aggregate weekly payrolls index, a proxy for take-home wages, increased 0.5 percent last month, which bodes well for consumer spending after it stalled in January.

“This was a Goldilocks report, with a rebound in job growth to calm fears of an imminent recession, and wage growth that was solid enough without triggering inflationary concerns,” said Curt Long, chief economist at the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions. “The Fed will be pleased, as it supports their present stance of holding firm on rates.”

The unemployment rate was unchanged at 3.8 percent in March, close to the 3.7 percent that Fed officials project it will be by the end of the year. Though monthly job gains have moderated to an average of 180,000 this year from 223,000 in 2018, they remain above the roughly 100,000 per month needed to keep up with growth in the working-age population.

The U.S. central bank last month halted its three-year campaign to tighten monetary policy, dropping projections for any rate hikes this year after lifting borrowing costs four times in 2018. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 196,000 jobs in March. Data for February was revised modestly up to show 33,000 jobs created instead of the previously reported 20,000. February job gains were the smallest since September 2017.

Economists expect job growth to average about 150,000 per month this year. There are about 7.58 million open jobs in the economy.

Vacancies could remain elevated as 224,000 people dropped out of the labor force last month.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls increasing by 180,000 jobs last month. The pickup in job growth helped to boost A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

The labor force participation rate, or the proportion of working-age Americans who have a job or are looking for one, fell to 63.0 percent in March from 63.2 percent in February, which was the highest in more than five years.

From Prison To The Factory: Hundreds Of Former Inmates Make Boeing Parts In a factory perched on a hill above the DuwamishWaterway in South Seattle, Mark Behrends is building a business with workers who have spent more time behind bars than inside a manufacturing facility.

Behrends is a vice president at Pioneer Enterprises, where he and a team from Pioneer Human Services train and mentor hundreds of former prison inmates to become metal workers and even top aerospace machinists at a time when skilled talent is scarce.

Gregory Burgess started at Pioneer in 2010 after decades in jail.

He built life skills, became a machinist apprentice, and now is a production supervisor. Pioneer also paid for him, at age 49, to get a college degree.

“When I interview people, I don’t ask them where they’ve been,” Burgess said.

“I ask them where they want to go. My own experience gives me unique insight into their ability to reintegrate.”

Nikki Lohman, an aerospace program manager, credits Pioneer with providing training, mentoring and education that positively shaped her new life.

Pioneer Enterprises is the business arm of the nonprofit Pioneer Human Services. Its profits are reinvested in the nonprofit’s community efforts efforts and people like Burgess and Lohman.Its 60,000-square-foot factory operates like any other aerospace supplier and metal fabrication machine shop, bidding on contracts to win.

“People like what we do with social reentry programs, job training, life counseling, but if we’re not cost, quality and delivery competitive, you’re not going to get the work,” Behrends said.

Pioneer has a five-year contract with Boeing to produce hardware that secures 777X stow bins, and for cargo liners in the jet’s belly. That work accounts for about 10 percent of Pioneer’s $33 million annual revenue.

Pioneer’s Roadmap to Success training program produces more talent than it needs. It places people with likeminded companies and offers workers “a resource closet” of clothing for interviews.

“2018 was a transformational year that laid the foundation for Arcimoto’s business moving forward,” CEO Mark Frohnmayer, who founded Arcimoto in 2007, said.

That’s taken considerable time and money.

Last June, Arcimoto talked about being in a position to produce 200 vehicles a week by the end of 2019. In a presentation released Monday, it pushed that target out to 12 months from the start of Evergreen production, and listed delivering 400-plus Evergreens in 2019 as a key goal.

For 2020, Arcimoto is now targeting production of 5,000 vehicles, generating revenue around $100 million. It sees growth picking up steam in the years that follow, as depicted in this slide included in the presentation: AMP 1 is Arcimoto’s manufacturing plant in Eugene.The company anticipates expansion of the plant, and new plants, as it grows. Click on the slide to see the full version.

The company had revenue of $94,996 in 2018 and reported a loss of just over $11 million.

Arcimoto raised a net $18.1 million in its September 2017 public offering, and has raised nearly $10 million in a series of recent secondary offerings and financing moves.

Arcimoto, After Spending $11M In 2018, Builds Customer Queue Arcimoto Inc. showed signs of generating revenue in the first quarter of 2019 after plowing around $11 million last year into gearing up production at its Eugene electric vehicle plant.

The company released its first full-year annual report as a publicly traded company last month.

Arcimoto said it quickly filled a queue of 100 reservations — each coming with a $5,000 nonrefundable deposit — for its initial retail model, the $19,900 FUV Evergreen Edition that was unveiled in early February for customers in West Coast states.

It intends to begin delivery of that tranche of vehicles this quarter and is taking orders now for thirdquarter Evergreen production. The company’s list of $100 refundable “pre-orders” was at 3,883.

Zunum Aero Is A BoeingBacked Startup Building A Hybrid Electric Regional Airplane Zunum Aero, the hybrid electric airplane startup backed by Boeing and JetBlue Airways, is aiming to have one of its planes enter commercial service in 2020.

Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but Magnix CEO Roei Ganzarski said motors are being built “as we speak” in the company’s Australian engineering and manufacturing factory. Next, they will be tested on a stationary airframe.

Ganzarski said the engines will be flight

tested on a Harbour seaplane in late 2019.

“It’s one thing to take a motor and have a small motor with all this power in it, but it’s another to put it on a iron bird and and turn propellers powered by batteries, and then to put it actually on an airplane and fly it,” Ganzarski said. “Not only will it be flying our motors, but we’re doing so with an operator that understands the value that electric propulsion can bring to their operation.”

Harbour Air competes with Kenmore Air, which operates a seaplane service to Vancouver and other British Columbia cities from Kenmore and Seattle’s Lake Union.

Harbour’s de Havilland Beaver andTwin Otter aircraft will be powered by Magnix’s magni500, a 750-horsepower all electric motor, Ganzarski said.

The first Harbour plane to be converted will be a six-seat Beaver, the workhorse of Harbour’s fleet.

Magnix works with the airline to get its motors certified by aviation safety regulators, while Harbour Air gets the know-how and experience to subsequently perform gas to electric motor conversions on more airplanes for other airlines.

Harbour Air, founded in 1982 with two small seaplanes, began as a charter operation for British Columbia’s forestry industry. It has grown steadily and operates daily scheduled flights, scenic tours, and adventure packages to destinations likeTofino, Salt Spring Island,Whistler and Comox, British Columbia.

Harbour Air bills itself as the world’s first “carbon neutral” airline. Since 2007, it’s bought carbon offsets to cover its airplanes’ emissions.

TheToyota foundation is aimed at innovation in sustainable transportation, but “even for companies not directly related to mobility, they will be able to offer excellence in supply chain management, marketing and sales, composite materials, manufacturing, proof-of-concept testing, modeling and more,” CleanTech Alliance CEO Tom Ranken said in a statement.

The range of the accelerator’s efforts is evident in the recent proof-ofconcept grants it handed out. Consider the two Oregon companies that got $55,000 apiece:Wheyward Spirit, a Eugene startup that uses whey left over from the cheesemaking process to make ultra premium spirits; and Bladerunner Energy, a Bend startup that’s developed a hydropower rotor that can be easily deployed for sustainable distributed energy generation.

Pacific Swiss & Manufacturing, Inc. is an ISO 9001:2015 Certified Company and A Global Supplier Of Swiss and Micro Miniature Swiss Components Pacific Swiss & Manufacturing, Inc. is exclusively focused on CNC Swiss machining and CNC Swiss Micro Miniature machining.

Their secret sauce is simple; hire the best employees, utilize the best machines, run these automated machines 24/7 lights-out for maximum machine tool utilization, and produce perfect product that comes off the machines burr free and ready for inspection.

Greg Cde Baca leads the team at Pacific Swiss as a second-generation machinist. Greg started the old-fashioned way, working his way through his father’s traditional machine shop; sweeping floors, deburring parts, and learning the trade during summer breaks from school. Greg became efficient at manual machining and setting up traditional CNC lathes and CNC mills and put the broom away to become a viable member of Greg Cde Baca, President of his father’s machining business.While making Pacific Swiss, proudly holding their recently attained ISO Cerification sales calls, he heard his customers in unison saying they needed small Swiss components quickly. When his father explained to Greg that wasn’t where he saw his business going, Greg put his nickels and dimes together along with his expertise and purchased his first Citizen CNC Swiss Machine. Pacific Swiss was born in 1995 and Greg began by leasing a small area in the back corner of his new landlord’s shop, his Dad’s shop.

Hard work and a dedication to Swiss machining helped Greg build his business. Greg figured out that by duplicating himself through his automated machines he could work his business by day and set up his machines for lights-out manufacturing by night. This formula has been instrumental in his quest to be one of the most competitive Swiss machine shops in the industry.

Pacific Swiss sells to customers worldwide and even into China. What…? That’s what you just read, China. Greg states, “There is a complexity to some parts that China cannot achieve.

Our medical customers’ in China have entrusted us to manufacture their micro and small complex parts for over a decade.”

When you’re good at servicing your customers and being consistent, the way Pacific Swiss is, word gets out.The other way Greg has duplicated his effort and himself is through professional manufacturing sales representatives strategically placed throughout the United States. Pacific Swiss has five manufacturing representatives in major territories west of the Mississippi and growth last year was over 38%. This amazing growth shows that Greg’s decision to utilize ‘Reps’ was a good direction for the company.

Another good direction for Pacific Swiss was becoming ISO Certified in December of 2018.

Greg enlisted the expertise of BMSC, as consultants to come in and make the ISO upgrade process easy, efficient and understandable. Greg said “The first time I called Bretta the owner A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

24 • APR - MAY ‘19

A family of Swiss Parts produced on the Citizen Machines at Pacific Swiss of BMSC, I spoke to her and her colleague Debbie Hart.

They asked questions, talked with me about the MIL-I45208a and MIL-Q-9858a we were already compliant to, and assured me that obtaining the ISO certification was not rocket science.They made the transition for my team and I so easy, we basically wrapped ISO around everything we were doing, and with a couple of minor improvements we were able to pass our audit and we are now ISO 9001:2015 certified.”

Greg continued, “The reason this ISO certification was so important is many of our medical companies

require the ISO certification to do business with us directly. It was evident to us we had to step up to ISO certification to continue growing the business. Bretta and Debbie came to the shop and made the training process fun and the actual implementation easy. This helped us to embrace it. It became our system because of the way they worked with us. We would highly recommend BMSC to anyone trying to get their shop up to ISO standards for certification!”

Micro Swiss parts must be examined under a microscope to insure perfection

Miniature Swiss parts compared to small paper clip

Continuously improving has helped Pacific Swiss grow in a concerted and viable way through the years. Investing into their employees’ education and training, healthcare, ISO processes, and state of the art machines and all have enabled the company to grow at a consistent rate. One of the most recent key investments was to add another Citizen CNC Swiss Machine to their already expansive line. This past January the purchase of a second Citizen L32 VIII brought their total to nine Citizen CNC Swiss machines. These are comprised of a wide range of models capable of machining parts from .005” diameter to 1-1/4” diameter, from all types of metals and plastics.

The sliding headstock type automatic CNC lathe allows flexibility from simple to very complex machining in one operation, dropping parts complete off the machine.The alliance they have with their Citizen distributor Spinetti Machinery is one of mutual trust and support. While the Citizen machines rarely go down, when they do the Spinetti service team offers immediate phone

support and quick on-site service.

A quick testimonial from a few devoted customers of Pacific Swiss: “I met Greg at a machine tool show years ago in Oregon and I sent him a few RFQ’s. I was very surprised a company from Oregon could bid so competitively. When I received the product, it was shipped with material certifications, wrapped as I could deliver them to my customer, and passed with flying colors. I have utilized them ever since. Their price, delivery, and product is so perfect, why would I go anywhere else?”

-Vice President of Manufacturing in Phoenix, AZ “For a manufacture’s rep having reliable suppliers is paramount. In addition to dependability and great customer service, having a supplier who invests in their customers is equally important.

How A Dutch Company’s Technology Is Likely Driving Intel’s Expansion

The technology is so important Intel and its rivals invested heavily in ASML seven years ago. Intel, Samsung Electronics and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. agreed to purchase 25 percent of ASML’s shares. Now that the tech is ready, all three have cut their stakes since 2017.

“There was agreement in the industry and the huge opportunity of EUV and what it could bring to the industry as a whole,” said Marco Pieters, ASML vice president of product marketing for EUV. “People realized that the investment to get there couldn’t be the burden of one party only.”

EUV is a different way to prep wafers during chip manufacturing. It will be used in tandem with existing deep ultraviolet technology. It’s necessary for critical layers in the process.

Existing deep ultraviolet technology uses a 195-nanometer wavelength of light to pattern multiple layers of transistors and interconnects onto the wafers. In the complex process, a finished wafer goes through hundreds of printing passes.

At its current 10-nanometer size, Intel has hit the limits for deep ultraviolet lithography.

In order to get the resolution needed for the tiny structures required to shrink a chip to 7-nanometers, it requires EUV, which works at a shorter 13.5 nanometer wavelength, said Pieters.

In the last three years or so,ASML’s Hillsboro team has grown to “It’s a broad tip pen versus a fine tip pen,” he more than 600 people. In the next five years, it expects to double said in terms of the resolution quality. in size.The reason: Its across the street neighbor Intel Corp.

twice, Pieters said. The company also designed mirrors to reflect the light onto masked wafers.

For an idea of how precise the technology is, Pieter Kuijper, who’s head of the Hillsboro office and the company’s North America customer service director, noted that if a dime was placed upright on the moon, the laser here on earth could shoot a hole through the coin’s center.

Precision Swiss Turning & Production Screw Machining

While research on EUV started in 2000, the first high-volume machines didn’t ship until last year. In 2018, ASML shipped 18 machines and expects to ship 30 this year.

The giant machines are the size of a city bus and take two 747 trips to deliver from Europe. It takes about 16 weeks for assembly and installation, Kuijper said. ASML’s Hillsboro group operates 24/7, with two 12-hour shifts. The majority of employees work in the customer’s fab.

With EUV ready for high volume production, Intel’s 7nm products could set the company back on a Moore’s Law timeline, of creating new smaller chips roughly every two years. The delays in 10nm had brought questions about the continued relevance of Moore’s Law. Intel has indicated that its 7-nanometer products are on better track than the currently delayed 10-nanometer chips, which have faced manufacturing challenges. Last April, then-CEO Brian Krzanich told Wall Street analysts the 10nm node is the last generation developed without EUV. The various challenges and delays in 10nm have been tied to the complexity of using existing lithography.

Magnix Inks Deal To Supply Engines For Seaplanes In a deal that will transform seaplanes into e-planes, Redmond-based Magnix has signed a deal with Harbour Air to supply new electric motors for the operator’s fleet.

Magnix said its partnership with Harbour Air — a Vancouver-based airline that serves Seattle and 11 other Northwest destinations — covers more than 40 airplanes.

The deal further solidifies the Puget Sound region as a major player in the electric aviation sector with companies such as Boeing-backed Zunum Aero developing hybrid electric airplanes.

Zunum Aero, the hybrid electric airplane startup backed by Boeing and JetBlue Airways, is aiming to have one of its planes enter commercial service in 2020.

Harbour Air competes with Kenmore Air, which operates a seaplane service to Vancouver and other British Columbia cities from Kenmore and Seattle’s Lake Union.

Harbour Air bills itself as the world’s first “carbon neutral” airline. Since 2007, it’s bought carbon offsets to cover its airplanes’ emissions.

With the move, first reported by the Oregonian, the company said it will shift marine aluminum work and workers from sites in Seattle and Clackamas to Vancouver.

The Oregonian had reported last fall that Vigor was debating whether to carry out the landing-craft project in Portland or Seattle, and that Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler had made overtures to Frank Foti, Vigor’s chief executive.

“Vigor looked in both Oregon and Washington state at building and buying options for this facility,” the company said in its announcement.

But in the end, Vigor passed over both of the big cities, saying “the opportunity to bring its entire aluminum fabrication team together in one location was a primary driver coupled with the livability of the community, its proximity to existing Vigor facilities, and the excellent suitability of the Christensen facility for Vigor’s production needs.” Source:Portland Business Journal

The Skills Gap is a Lie, Says Titan Gilroy If you ever need a reason to be proud that you chose manufacturing as your career, just listen to Titan Gilroy, owner and CEO of Titans of CNC.

:2015 Vigor Picks Vancouver, Wash., For $1B Army Project

“If you want to save this country, then you must fight for manufacturing,” Gilroy said in a keynote address on April 3 at Manufacturing & Technology, an IndustryWeek event. His topic: Key to the Training Transformation: Inspiration and Perspiration.

Vigor will build a next-generation U.S. Army landing craft in Vancouver, Wash., where it expects to “eventually employ approximately 400 workers, the company said.

While his own personal story is the stuff of movies, (see story here) his passion is getting this country to train its young people for the future jobs that manufacturing is going to need.

The announcement comes 16 months after the Portland-based company landed the nearly $1 billion project contract, its biggest ever.

And Gilroy is not afraid to take on any system, thinking or widely-held perceptions that are standing in the way of ensuring that the U.S. returns to its manufacturing roots.

Vigor said it’s taking over the former home of Christiansen Yachts to set up the all-aluminum fabrication facility and “will be investing millions in capital upgrades and equipment.”

“The skill gap is a lie,” he proclaimed. “It’s a symptom of a problem and that is of

awareness.” Parents, teachers and educators are unaware of the jobs in an industry that is currently machining parts on rockets going to space. His company, for example, has worked with SpaceX to build the precision parts that require high levels of expertise. And acquiring that expertise will provide good paying and exciting jobs.

“We are selling our children short by not teaching them the skills of the future,” said Gilroy.To teach those skills Gilroy created the Titans of CNC Academy. It is his life’s mission to step in where the education system has gaps and provide that knowledge.

He has set up academies in schools, cities and in San Quentin. “Anyone can learn these skills and we must teach them so employees can bring them to your companies and make you competitive.”

Using three modules, CAD, CAM and CNC he virtually trains students or anyone who wants to learn. “It’s an easy way to learn as I have created an exact process that enables users to learn how to design and create machined parts. We start with CAD and anyone can do drawings in 20 minutes. If you follow the tutorial, you will have a solid model. We teach the process.”

“The kids are capable of greatness,” Gilroy said. “They can take this trade beyond what we imagine. We need to have an open mind. We need to say you are brilliant, here is the curriculum, here is an opportunity.”

The challenge is to find these kids and that requires enlightening parents, teachers and educators. “We need to hold our teachers accountable and insist they train our kids on a high level – the level that is needed both now and in the future.”

The country also needs to reach out to many different types of populations including veterans and those on the autistic spectrum. One of his sons, who is on the spectrum, operates extremely sophisticated machines in Gilroy’s shop. “Manufacturing saved him,” says Gilroy. “He is judged on his productivity.”

Setting up shops in prison is another path that Gilroy personally embraces to provide a second chance to those who have served their time and are now coming back to society. In the presentation, Gilroy showed a chart that demonstrated that as manufacturing jobs decreased incarceration increased. And violence is prevalent in our cities too, he pointed out. His answer was to install an academy in Chicago that can take people off the streets and instead train them for jobs.

“Instead of killing each other, we can provide meaningful work for these kids,” Gilroy explained. “Parents will line up at these buildings because they want their kids to have a future.”

We cannot underestimate the value of manufacturing to our children, our country and our future, says Gilroy and he is doing everything in his power to make that happen. By: Adrienne Selko, Industry Week A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

We make an awesome knife.”

Esmond works as a beveler, a job that requires shaping knife blades eight hours a day. Her enthusiasm for Benchmade isn’t isolated. Business is booming at the Oregon City-based company.

Experts said there are a number of reasons for Benchmade’s success. Some say its swelling top-line reflects a surge in interest in knives because of a popular TV show.

Others said Benchmade’s longterm commitment to craftsmanship and making knives in the U.S.A. is paying off.

A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

Whatever the reason, business has never been better. The company’s employment has doubled in the past four years to 400.

It’s got another 35 open jobs.

“Benchmade is highly thought of in the industry and has been for quite some time,” said Steve Shackleford, editor of Blade magazine. “We look for them to be a player in the industry for a long time.”

Les de Asis founded Benchmade in California in 1979. He moved the company to Clackamas County in 1990 in order to be closer to the region’s cluster of knife companies, which now includes Gerber, Kershaw and Leatherman. He also wanted a place to more comfortably raise his two young children.

Soft-spoken, humble and with a reputation for ingenuity, de Asis has a personality not unlike Tim Leatherman, another Portland knife-industry pioneer. He dresses casually in jeans, a collared shirt and a fleece vest.

Also like Leatherman, de Asis has prioritized innovation, durability and quality. All Benchmade knives come with a lifetime warranty and lifetime free sharpening.

Benchmade has four product lines: Blue, for everyday use, Black for heavy users, such as law enforcement and the military, Gold for custom knives and Hunt, for hunters.

Knives start around $140. Some cost more than $700.

De Asis is credited with being among the first to make mass-produced knives in collaboration with artisan knifemakers.“They use some of the best knifemakers as designers and have for some time,” Shackleford said. “They’ve been a leader in that regard.”

Product line manager Hans Albing said the company’s products are in demand with discerning law enforcement users, enthusiasts and collectors.

“We’re best in class in every single category,” he said. “Most companies have been in a race to the bottom.”

Benchmade doesn’t disclose sales. Blade magazine last year reported it’s had eight consecutive years of double-digit growth.

highest-quality factory knives in the world.”

In November, de Asis, who remains CEO, handed day-to-day operations of the company to his son, Jon deAsis. The company remains family-owned.

Benchmade operates out of two buildings in Oregon City. Blades are cut from raw steel with a laser. Handles are made from a variety of materials including aluminum, titanium and stabilized woods.

Workers shape and polish the blades and handles and assemble knives on-site.

Most work stations include micrometers and calipers used to measure the size of the blades and handles. They can take measurements as precise as 1/1000 of an inch, about 1/4 the thickness of a sheet of paper.

The precision is necessary because many of the company’s knives fold. “If it were any more you’d feel it,” Albing said.

Before it’s packed into a box, every knife is hand sharpened. Factory workers also test each knife by slicing pieces of scrap paper.

“A sharp edge is important to a Benchmade knife consumer,” Albing said.

The entry-wage for factory workers is $15 an hour.

Blade online editor Ben Sobieck said part of the success is attributable to a surge in knife-collecting because of the popularity of “Forged in Fire” a show on the History Channel. “The visibility of Benchmade has certainly increased as the knife market in general has increased,” he said. “It’s one of those rising-tides-lifts-all-boats situations.”

Shackleford said Benchmade’s commitment to U.S. manufacturing should shield the company if the market ebbs.

“With our readers, it makes a big difference if the knife is made in America,” he said. “They want to know the country of manufacture. They use that as a big deciding factor when they buy a knife.”

In 2016, Oregon State University recognized the company with an Excellence in Family Business Award. Blade magazine inducted de Asis into its Cutlery Hall of Fame two years ago. De Asis also is an original member of the American Knife and Tool Institute.

“He has been a leader in the industry for a long time,” Shackleford said. “They make some of the

In order to find workers, Benchmade partners with Clackamas Community College, local high schools and the local employment agency to introduce manufacturing as a career option. The company is visible at career fairs and sponsors local events.

“They are a fantastic partner in this community,” said Clackamas Workforce Partnership Executive Director Bridget Dazey. “They are engaged in education, economic development, workforce, work readiness and career exploration. They step up when asked.”

3D PRINTING The Need For Speed: The Potential Of Additive Manufacturing Is Enormous, And Materializing Now

by ScottWoolley

After a career spent inventing new ways to manipulate metal, William Carter sometimes imagines what it would be like to demonstrate GE’s latest technology to a blacksmith visiting from the Bronze Age. While the time-traveling metallurgist would have no trouble recognizing the wax patterns and ceramic molds used to cast turbine blades and other large metal items, Carter says, he chuckles at the idea of his visitor watching computer-guided lasers conjure elaborate objects from a bed of metal powder: “What it would look like to him is as though we are making parts from burning dirt.”

Carter, an engineer at GE Research with 45 U.S. patents and 75 technical publications, has been around since the dawn of direct metal laser melting, a particularly promising subset of the field now known as additive manufacturing, or 3D printing. His time-travel musings reflect both his humility and his optimism, given the head start his upstart technology must overcome. “Investment casting has undergone 5,000 years of development,” Carter says, referring to the days when artisans used beeswax models to cast jewelry, ornaments, weapons and tools. “Additive manufacturing is now only about 30 to 40 years old. We’ve got to catch up fast.”

Today’s technology traces its earliest roots to the mid-1980s, when an undergraduate at the University ofTexas at Austin named Carl Deckard ran the first experiments attempting to use a laser to build simple structures out of a plastic powder.

Deckard’s equipment was crude. Using a Commodore 64 computer, he would take early computer-aided design blueprints and use them to create a path for a laser, which would then build a small object by fusing bits of plastic together. (All additive manufacturing works this way, adding small layers of material together to create a solid object.) Deckard’s innovative

process, known as selective laser sintering, caught the eye of William Carter, then a freshly minted Ph.D. working at GE Research.

Soon it would capture Carter’s imagination as well. He teamed up with Marshall Jones, a fellow GE Research engineer and laser expert bound for the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and pitched his boss on a bold idea: Why not take the concept pioneered by Deckard using plastic and instead try to make objects out of metal?

Using additive manufacturing to make metal parts soon produced very high-quality prototypes, to the delight of Carter and Jones, but also revealed a fundamental problem.The laser fusing the metal powder into a solid object focused on such a fine point — typically around a tenth of a millimeter — that it took ages for the beam to create even small objects. “The process was painfully slow,” Carter says. “But I saw it as a huge opportunity.”

After writing a paper on their early experiments, Jones focused on lasers and Carter returned to other research on metals processing.

Developments continued in the industry, and by the mid-2010s, many other engineers and executives had become believers in the potential of the new technology. GE responded by making a series of deals, including partnerships, acquisitions and other investments, to stay at the vanguard.

Carter had never shaken the 3D-printing bug, and soon returned to the technology, using it to build a series of larger and larger parts at faster and faster speeds. One recent success came in the building of combustor liners for jet engines. Combustor liners are heavily perforated parts that control the flow of cooling air into the hottest sections of the engine.

The new additive process made it possible to redesign the perforations as complex tunnels that route the air through the metal to spots engineers had trouble reaching, and opens up a new world of performance and efficiency gains.

Carter’s current project, a collaboration between GE Research and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, began in early 2015. With funding from the Air Force Research Laboratory, the project created open-source software to control 3D printers, giving researchers greater control over the metal-melting process than they could get with commercial software.

We believe that we are stronger and more viable when we make something for US Manufacturing!

Carter is now working on the final phase of the collaboration, building a working system that aims to speed up the printing process once again.

Increases in speed typically come from three sources: using more lasers, using more powerful beams to melt thicker metal layers faster, or tweaking the process to find more efficient paths for the lasers that already exist.

Unfortunately, the easiest solutions come with new problems of their own. Carter explains it this way: “If you’re watering your lawn nicely, and then you switch to a fire hose, you get a different result. That same thing happens with lasers, if you just switch to higher power.”

To handle that problem, Carter has teamed up with Livermore’s Manyalibo “Ibo” Matthews, who has been using a camera running at up to 10 million frames per second to show what happens when the laser hits the “melt pool” where the metal particles fuse together.

Golf With A Purpose

By Stephen Hannemann

Not enough words have been coined, nor is there enough room on these pages to extol the virtue, tenacity, and boundless energy of Lori Cavender, founder and Executive Director of Ryan’s House for Youth on Whidbey Island, WA. Ryan’s House for Youth is the vision that became reality for Lori Cavender, named after her friend from childhood affectionately deemed God Brother, Ryan Busche, who lost his life along with his wife Abby on Alaska Airlines flight 261 nearly 20 years ago. Ryan Busche’s legacy as an advocate for the homeless carries on as RHFY has become a lifeline for homeless youth on Whidbey Island – serving ages spanning 12 to 24.

Ryan's House For Youth

In 2018 alone RHFY provided safe housing with dignity, nearly 6,000 bed nights, in addition to medical services, counseling; 11,456 miles of transportation to schools, work, Dr. appointments, and shopping – the list of services provided for these young people is nearly endless! RHFY fostered graduations from high school, internships, and job placements.

They have garnered futures for young lives who before had little chance of survival or hope of a life.

When I think of Ryan’s House for Youth, two things come to mind: The dramatic successes with these young lives and the ongoing and ever increasing need for support. Which brings us to “The 1st Annual Ryan Busche Golf Tournament on August 3, 2019, hosted by Holmes Harbor

Golf Course in Freeland,WA.We are looking for sponsors, and donations for this event to support this remarkable organization. All proceeds will go directly to Ryan’s House.

There are several ways you can support this event: - Hole sponsorships for $200 each. You can sponsor as many holes as you desire.

- Lump sum donations to the tournament in any amount.

- A monthly donation commitment to Ryan’s House for Youth.

- If you are a gambler, how about sponsoring Eagles for Ryan. Any eagle scored guarantees a $500 donation to RHFY. - Sponsor a hole-in-one that guarantees $1,000 donation to RHFY. There were only four at Holmes Harbor GC all last season so the odds of a payout on that one are pretty low.

Or you can play in the tournament!

There will be a host of money raising side bets to make this a memorable and fun fund raiser! Lunch will be provided and a live auction following.

If interested in playing you must secure your spot quickly as the field is rapidly filling. This year we have only 25 carts available to accommodate 50 participants.

Check out the tournament website: www.ryanshouseforyouth.org/golf-tournament.html and read about the tournament donation options and all the miraculous accomplishments happening regularly at RHFY. In conversation, Lori Cavender shared the b i t t e r - s we e t n e s s o f success and concer n.

“Seeing youth and young adults accomplish their goals of stable employment and housing and raising new families of their own is especially fulfilling. Passing Host Home legislation was probably my biggest success because it will give youth across the state of Washington the opportunity to be housed with caring and loving families.”

Ryan and Abby Busche

“Financial stability is the ongoing difficult hurdle due to annual increases in

costs of repairs to the facility and the need for more staff as we help more youth and young adults. As a small nonprofit organization on a small island it is hard to raise the funds and though we ae so grateful for every dollar, $5 to $10 checks in the mail are hard to budget. We really need an angel donor to help bring us to the next level. We have great outcomes and we are changing lives. Our dedicated staff volunteer extra hours off the clock to help when necessary but that isn’t sustainable nor is it acceptable long term.”

We invite you to become a supporter of a great event for a great cause. Visit: www. ryanshouseforyouth.org/golf-tournament.html and follow your heart.

If you have any questions regarding this event or RHFY, call 425.501.7342, or email stephen@ smhincllc.com or RHF Y 360.331.4575 Respectfully submitted – Stephen M. Hannemann – President SMH Inc.
