Editors Corner “The most successful businessman is the man who holds onto the old just as long as it is good, and grabs the new just as soon as it is better.”

Lee Iacocca Some of us see times changing and some of us will change as we need to meet the times.

I talked with a shop owner who told me he bought his first machine in 1990. He also told me fast back then; 10,000 RPM, is slow by today’s standards.This progressive shop owner said his 1990 machine still works but for the intricate parts and assemblies he does today, he runs newer parts on 4 & 5 axis machines. He has embraced the times and purchased new faster equipment based in a cell environment, with loaders, pallets, and high tech software that continues to elevate today’s metalworking standards.

Today manufacturing cells can run lights out 24 hours a day. Robots load the material into machines from pallets of material in automated bundles. Back in the good old days journeyman machinists ate and almost slept by their machines. There are still some that do.

There are tool manufacturing companies out there now that boast they can take a carbide tool with perfected geometrical patterns and work in conjunction with high efficiency software to remove metal 7-10 times faster than old machining methods. 7-10 times faster material removal at higher RPMs, without distorting the parts shape? Yes, these companies can be seen at all the tooling shows, running their tools in great machines, with state of the art software, cutting material in a blur of speed, with perfection as their goal.Yes, unheard of speed and accuracy, pushing the very machinist’s handbook that is the bible of the machining industry to new heights.

Manufacturing cycle times are faster, with higher efficiencies, less set ups, less handling, with more output. We are holding on to the old ways, until the new ways are better.

Times are changing and competition is tough.We will persevere and we will change to meet this challenge by opening up our minds to new, and possibly better ways of doing things.

I encourage you all to try and attend the manufacturing shows coming up this year in the Pacific Northwest. A couple of them are showcased in this issue of the A2Z Metalworker; The Pacific Coast Machine Tool Expo in Santa Clara, 9-21 through 9-22-11. Another show is The Smart Map Expo in Pasco,WA, 9-28 through 9-29-11.We have a booth at each show and we would like to shake your hand and meet you all! Please come by and say hi.

for it in a long-delayed budget deal last month to cover U.S. spending for the rest of fiscal 2011, which ends Sept. 30.

GE and Rolls have offered to spend more than $100 million of their own to go on working on the alternate engine, a move hailed by the House panel’s chairman, Howard McKeon, as a potential watershed for how the Pentagon finances arms development.

GE cheered the move, which still must be adopted by the full House and Senate and signed into law by President Obama.

.GE/Rolls

engine for F-35 jet gets small boost

A controversial second engine for the multinational F-35 fighter jet received a boost from a U.S. House of Representatives committee preparing its version of a fiscal 2012 defense spending bill.

The House Armed Services Committee voted 54 to 5 to make sure that General Electric Co and Rolls-Royce Group Plc could go on working on their alternate engine using their own funds, despite the Pentagon’s formal cancellation of a competitive engine program last month.

The engine powering early production models of the F-35 is built by Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp. At stake is a business that GE and Rolls say will be worth more than $100 billion in coming decades and that Pratt reckons at about $50 billion.

The panel acted on an amendment to the defense authorization bill put forward by Rep. Robert Andrews, a New Jersey Democrat who has spearheaded a House effort to wring waste from the more than $100 billion the Pentagon spends on arms each year.

The legislation would require that the secretary of defense, at no cost to the federal government, allow for the continued development and testing of the alternate engine if this is self-funded, as GE and Rolls have proposed to do at least through the end of fiscal 2012.

The Defense Department cut off the contractors’ access to the hardware after Congress omitted funding A2Z METALWORKER

8 • June/July 2011

The hardware and related intellectual property belongs to the U.S. government. The Pentagon has sought for five years to kill the alternate engine as unnecessary and wasteful amid growing fiscal pressures.

The Pentagon’s position on the program has not changed, a spokeswoman said last week in response to the GE-led team’s renewed push to keep its engine hopes alive.

The United States has spent about $2.9 billion to develop the second engine since 1997, when the concept of competing engines for the F-35 was initiated, and about $1 billion more would be needed to complete it, GE says.

The Pentagon has said it would cost $2.9 billion more to develop the engine to the point that it could vie against Pratt for orders.

The radar-evading F-35, built

by Lockheed Martin Corp, is the Pentagon’s costliest arms purchase at some $382 billion for what are now due to be 2,443 planes.

GAMA: Things are looking up

“We have three greens,” said GAMA Chairman of the Board and Dassault Falcon CEO John Rosanvallon, “and that’s always a good sign in aviation.”

U.S. business jet flight activity increased 10.8 percent from 2009 to 2010, while business aviation in Europe increased 5.5 percent. Corporate profits, which drive aircraft purchases, increased 46 percent globally and 26 percent in the United States. Favorable tax policies, including the extension of bonus depreciation, also will help the market, Rosanvallon said.

“We’ll see what’s going on [in this area of the market] this year,” Rosanvallon said.

The area of highest concern remains the limited availability of financing for mid and light jets and small aircraft. In 2010, 78 percent of transactions for business jets were cash deals, a 13 percent increase over 2009.

GA billings increased, thanks to the business jet market and expanding global markets. Billings increased 1.2 percent in 2010 to $19.7 billion.

Billings to emerging markets in Asia Pacific, Middle East/Africa, and Latin America all increased, while North America and Europe saw a decrease. This helped contribute to an 11 percent increase in U.S. exports in 2010 to 62 percent of the U.S. billings.

When it comes to waterjets, OMAX is the only partner you need.

Although the general aviation industry is starting to turn the corner, GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce said, “I look at 2011 with both optimism and caution.”

Bunce forecast that the economic recovery should continue to pick up, backlogs should increase, and new markets should continue to expand. However, he stressed that at a time when the government is reducing spending and releasing new regulations, the industry must collaborate with government agencies to help streamline and shape the regulations that govern general aviation.

The industry already is collaborating with the FAA and Transportation Security Administration on a number of issues, including the transition to an unleaded avgas and the Large Aircraft Security Program. Bunce acknowledged the industry’s effort to come together on the avgas issue, form the General Aviation Avgas Coalition, of which AOPA and GAMA are members, and encourage the FAA to take a leadership role. The FAA has since created an aviation rulemaking committee to advise the agency on the process of transitioning the piston fleet to an unleaded fuel.

GAMA, AOPA, other several other aviation advocacy and industry groups have worked with the TSA to develop commonsense rules that would replace the proposed Large Aircraft Security Program that received so much backlash from the industry in 2008. The TSA had agreed to go back to the drawing board and work with the industry to develop a better plan. A new proposal is expected to be released this year for the industry to analyze and provide feedback.

Renewable Energy Could Power 77% Of World’s Needs By 2050.

The New York Times reports, that according to experts, “renewable sources could provide a majority of the world’s energy supplies by 2050, but only if governments dramatically increase financial and political support for technologies like wind and solar power.” Today, “renewable sources... accounted for about 13 percent of global energy supply.” Reaching this goal “would require investments by governments and the private sector amounting to $5.1 trillion through 2020, and nearly $7.2 trillion between 2021 and 2030.”

C a l i f o r n i a ’s M o s t Popular Solar Panels in 2011

SHOWROOM OPEN M-F 8:30-5PM CALL BOB OR ROB KROHA TODAY!

Data released by the California Solar Initiative (CSI) reveals some surprising trends. Namely, there are a handful of top dogs in solar manufacturing — the brands that over half of California homeowners seek out when they get solar estimates, compare specs and ultimately install. But not all of these brands are who you might expect.

First, we see that BP Solar, a once-major player that captured a sizable chunk of installations for years, has fallen from grace.This is probably due to the oil spill disaster and internal complications (it’s hard to watch solar suffer in any form, but BP had it coming).

That decline, however, paved the way for SunPower, Sharp and Kyocera Solar to reign king in 2010 and 2011. These three claimed 46% of all California installations thus far.

So what makes these solar panels the most sought-after in all of California? For starters, SunPower, Sharp and Kyocera are industry veter-

ans. Having been founded in 1985, 1959 and 1963, respectively, each dove into solar innovation and continued to perfect their processes.

What’s more, SunPower and Kyocera have both achieved world records for solar panel efficiencies. That, plus their established reputations in solar (solar panels as we know them are still fairly new, after all), have built trust in the eyes of even the most discerning homeowners.

Chinese manufacturers are slowly gaining market share.Yingli Green Energy rose from ninth place (tracked since 2006) to fifth in 2010.

Suntech Power is also sitting pretty at fourth.

CSI measured the data based on the number of applications they received for solar rebates. It’s a close analysis, considering that virtually all solar homeowners want to cash in on rebates and incentives (or rather, must cash in on them to make the costs affordable).

Intel Unveils Three-Dimensional Transistor Design

designs will also help the company challenge ARM Holdings for a share of the mobile and tablet computing market, from which Intel has been largely absent.

Media reports generally characterized Intel’s new, three-dimensional transistor design as a radical and groundbreaking achievement in chip manufacturing. Several sources mentioned that the reduced energy consumption could help Intel grab a share of the smartphone and tablet computing market, while simultaneously maintaining its position as the predominant supplier of chips for PCs and servers.

It could also help the company in terms of graphics performance, where it is said to lag its major rivals. There was also wide mention of Moore’s Law, and how the 3-D design will likely help the industry hold to its predictions for some time to come.

While mainly designed for personal computers, the new technology could help Intel get its processors into phones and other batterypowered devices because it uses less power.

The AP reports Intel has unveiled “a three-dimensional transistor design” that will allow it to pack more transistors onto a single chip. “Analysts call it one of the most significant developments in silicon transistor design since the integrated circuit was invented in the 1950s.” The new design “opens the way for faster smartphones, lighter laptops and a new generation of supercomputers - and possibly for powerful new products engineers have yet to dream up.”

Reuters reports the new design relies on a new manufacturing process to produce the new chips, which have been code named Ivy Bridge. The company expects the chips to be available for personal computers and servers by the end of this year. The new chip A2Z METALWORKER

Manufacturing Playing Key Role In Job Creation Joel Kotkin writes in the Forbes “New Geographer” blog, “Manufacturing has grown consistently over the past 21 months, and now, for the first time in years, according to data mined by Pepperdine University’s Michael Shires, manufacturing regions are beginning to move up on our list of best cities for jobs.” The list includes “longsuffering Rust Belt cities” such as Anderson, Indiana andYoungstown, Ohio, as well as some more metropolitan cities “whose economies in other areas, such as business services, often depend on customers from the industrial sector.”

EMSI economist Hank Robison noted that manufacturing and information technology “constitute a foundation upon which other sectors, like retail and government, depend on.”While manufacturing is not a prerequisite to strong economic growth, Kotkin writes, it is one of the key aspects for many regions of the US.

Mazak Thanks Its Loyal Customers with The Lastest Technology Center Opening!

Mazak Corporation just celebrated the grand opening of their new Southwest Technology Center, in Houston,Texas. The new Technology Center, housed in an expansive 30,000 square foot facility, on 4.5 acres of land owned by Mazak, is designed to support manufacturing in all industries, with a focus on the energy industry.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was a gala event, attended by hundreds.

Mazak Senior Managing Director Takashi (Tak) Yamazaki (featured on the front cover) traveled from Japan to open the ceremony, and customers, suppliers and employees were treated to demonstrations of some of the latest Mazak machinery, followed by an exquisite luncheon.

But this isn’t Texas. This is the Pacific Northwest. And, still, the message bears repeating, if you didn’t attend the Mazak Southwest Technology Center Grand Opening.

Mazak is growing, and it is continuously expanding its United States presence.

Brian Papke, president of Mazak Corporation, says, “Even during the economic downturn, we continued to invest in our Regional Technology Centers and in our US manufacturing facility, located in Florence, Kentucky.” He continued, “Just last year, we invested $13 million in expanding our Kentucky manufacturing facility with additional space and technology upgrades. Additional investment is planned for this year, with the installation of another VERSATECH V-140N 5-axis double column machining center for large part production, along with a Mazak Optonics cell with three laser fabrication centers to improve productivity of sheet metal parts.”

In fact, Mazak is growing its machine tool manufacturing output in the United States. Today they produce over 100 models at their A2Z METALWORKER

Florence, Kentucky plant, and project to reach a monthly output of 130 machine tools per month by the close of Q2 2011.

Brian says, “We have further refined and improved our Production on Demand system to become extremely responsive to real time customer needs. Additionally, a high level of vertical integration allows us tremendous control in reacting to market conditions. With the present value of the dollar, we will be exporting more machines in futures months from our Florence plant, as well as building for domestic manufacturers.”

At Mazak, continuous training and development of their workforce has created a “lean” culture, which has enabled continued growth in the United States. Mazak maintains eight technology centers across North America to provide local hands-on applications, service and sales support to its customers. Their centers include: • National Technology Center/North Central Headquarters Florence, KY • Southeast Headquarters/Technology Center, Suwanee, GA • Northeast Headquarters,Windsor Locks, CT • Southwest Headquarters/Energy ServicesTechnology Center, Houston,TX • Western Headquarters/Aerospace Technology Center, Gardena, CA • Midwest Headquarters/Technology Center, Schaumburg, IL • Mexico Technology Center, Monterrey, Mexico • Canada Technology Centre Cambridge, Ontario All Technology Centers share these resources: • The latest Mazak machine tool technology installed and running to develop and test new process solutions.

“We have had Mazak machines since 1990 and they are still running! We own a machine shop in OR and we now have 14 Mazak machines.We really feel that maintaining the same line of machines in our business is a formula that works and helps keep down time to a minimum.

We believe in the Mazak philosophy of One & Done.We pick up a part once and utilize Mazak robotics, loaders, and pallets for lights out operation. We get paid for parts, not by how many times we touch the parts.We have invested in Mazak’s cellular manufacturing to minimize set ups and down time.

I picked Mazak because many years ago, when I was first getting started, all the other guys did not take me seriously, but Machine Toolworks did. Gary Anderegg helped me with my first machine and helped me as my business grew and this is true customer service.To this day the customer service I receive is the same, great. Mazak cares about my business and their dealers live it every day.” Machine Shop Owner “My philosophy is to procure the latest in technolgy, whether it is in machinery or software. In the past we purchased some entry level machines, but we have outgrown them.Today, we purchase superior Mazak machines.We feel these are the best machines for our multi-task machining requirements.

With the Mazaks, we can build to order, rather than carrying the huge burden of inventory.With the quick set-up capabilities we derive from the Mazaks, if a customer needed 20 parts, in 5 part lots, we might have had to build all 20, and then inventory 15.

With rapid set-up, we can build to the customer’s requirements of 5 at a time.This is a huge savings for our company, and we still achieve our customers’ delivery schedules.” Machine Shop General Manager For more information on Mazak Machines, contact WA & OR contact Ian Quarders 206-575-3390, IQuarders@ machinetoolworks.com

Boeing Looks To Plug Gaps In C-17 Production Boeing remains confident of bolstering its C-17 backlog with additional international sales on top of the expected order from India, despite the challenges of maintaining unit cost in the face of reduced production rates, possible gaps in the delivery stream and no new U.S. Air Force orders.

Although the company is in the midst of a planned drawdown of production from 15 to 10 per year, “the goal is to maintain the same price,” says Tommy Dunehew, C-17 business development vice president. Despite this being a challenging target, additional international business should help to balance the books and fill potential gaps as the company looks to stabilize at the reduced rate in 2012, Dunehew adds.

Boeing says the Indian government is “going through the final steps” toward confirming its order for 10 aircraft, with the first expected to be delivered at the end of 2012. Part of the issue with the order has always been how to maintain the Long Beach assembly line while meeting the Indian air force’s stretched-out delivery requirements of five aircraft per year, with deliveries at roughly two-month intervals.

“We’re out there looking for customers to fill those gaps, and we have another couple of them out there,” Dunehew says. “It’s looking pretty good.”

Based on the existing production profile, and depending on the out-

come of talks over other customer deliveries planned for next year, the U.S. Air Force is set to receive its final C-17 in September 2012.

Overall, Boeing is under contract to deliver 223 to the Air Force, of which 210 have so far been handed over.The initial availability of slots on the production line for new orders means Boeing could release aircraft for delivery “in about a year or so from now for an existing customer,” or in 2013 if it’s a “brand new” customer, Dunehew says.

Aside from India, additional international C-17 orders are in the cards from Kuwait, which has a letter of request for a single aircraft announced last September, plus an additional two held as options by Qatar. “Interest in Southeast Asia is growing, and there’s more in the Middle East,” says Mark Kronenberg, Boeing vice president of international business development. Based on the supplementary purchases by Australia and the U.K., two of the three original “ABC” international customers along with Canada, he adds, “I’d not rule out any more of the ABCs acquiring extra aircraft.”

Boeing commented on future prospects for additional sales as the United Arab Emirates took delivery of the first of six C-17s on May 10. The UAE will receive three more C-17s during 2011, and two in 2012. The latest aircraft will become the 232nd C-17 in service and the 22nd to be delivered to an international customer. Other overseas deliveries set for this year include a fifth C-17 to Australia.

Excluding pending orders from India, Kuwait and others, the remaining backlog now stands at 21.This represents around two year’s worth of production at the new rate.

Why? Credit Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner. Anticipated build rates, reports Design News, are driving order activity with primary suppliers such as Carpenter Technology, Alcoa Fastening Systems, and Allegheny Technologies building inventories. Rather than rivets, the composite-body aircraft features lightweight specialty fasteners.

Dreamliner build rates could reach 10 per month by 2013.

BAE Systems Delivers 20,000th Warning Sensor to Protect Military Aircraft BAE Systems has delivered its 20,000th warning sensor for U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and allied aircraft missile warning systems, an achievement made possible by teaming with the Navy NAVAIR program office, and prime contractor ATK. BAE Systems has been a key supplier to ATK since 1998, providing sensor components for the AN/AAR-47 missile warning systems as part of the ongoing Navy roadmap of airborne protection and system improvements for the Navy, Air Force, Army, and foreign allied fleets.

The laser detection sensors provide critical warning systems for surfaceto-air and air-to-air missile threats.

“ATK values the work of BAE Systems, and all of our suppliers, in providing safe, reliable, dependable products that our customers can count on to defend their aircraft and, more importantly, their lives,” said Bill Kasting, vice president of ATK Defense Electronics Systems.

U.S. claims victory in Airbus-Boeing case Europe will have to trim its support for the Airbus conglomerate after a World Trade Organization panel upheld U.S. allegations that the company benefitted from improper government subsidies.

The ruling by a WTO appeals board marks a final step in a protracted battle between the U.S. and Europe over government support for Boeing and Airbus, which make the bulk of the world’s passenger jets and are fierce competitors.

Loans from France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain aided development of half a dozen Airbus models and “caused serious prejudice to the interests of the United States,” theWTO found. “The effect of the subsidies was to displace exports of Boeing” airplanes from key markets such as China, South Korea, Australia and Europe.

U.S. officials called the decision a “definitive victory” that will require Europe to recast its launch aid program. Although U.S. officials said little can be done to recapture sales of planes lost over decades of subsidies, they said the ruling could force Airbus to pay higher interest on government loans used to develop its A380 aircraft, a next-generation jet that is competing with Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner.

Global Hawk Essential To National Security U.S. Marine Corps Gen. James Cartwright has drafted a memo to senior officials in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and fourstar officers that is likely to support certification of the Global Hawk program to move forward despite a recent cost overrun.

In the document, Cartwright says the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) revalidated the 2009 requirements and key performance parameters for Global Hawk without amendment. He also says the system is “essential to national security.”

These are key items needed to move forward with a recertification of the UAV program.

The Pentagon notified Congress last month that the high-flying RQ-4 UAV breached its original cost estimate by more than 25%.This overage triggers a mandatory review and recertification of the program

in accordance with the Nunn-McCurdy statute. The recertification is expected within 60 days of the cost-overrun notification.

Pentagon acquisition chief Ashton Carter is scheduled to review the Global Hawk during a Defense Acquisition Board meetingrecently.

A large part of the Global Hawk overrun is a result of the Pentagon’s decision to halve the projected buy of 22 Block 40 aircraft, which are designed to carry the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) active, electronically scanned array radar optimized for ground surveillance.

Other factors contributing to the overrun include the cost of handling diminishing manufacturing sources and the establishment of depot activities for the Global Hawk’s sensors, according to the notification letter sent to Congress by Air Force Secretary Michael Donley.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon testing community is expected to finalize a report on the initial operational test and evaluation phase soon.

and everything in between. It is easily considered one of the tops in the region for the type of work they produce.

Ask Tony VanDeWalker, President of Hilton Tool out of Clackamas, Oregon, what separates his company from many of the other shops out there, and he’ll tell you that the quality and efficiency that the company has achieved since opening up in 1982 is exactly what has kept them going through these recent economic times. Ask him what the secret behind that quality and efficiency is and he’ll plainly tell you that you’re only as good as the equipment you work with and the people operating it.

Hilton Tool’s specialty has long been their mastery of Injection Molding, Tool and Die, and Die Cast Molds, however the team up there in the Pacific Northwest has been just as successful in perfecting the art of High Speed Milling, Production Wire work, and High Tolerance Machining. The Hilton facility now features everything from Surface Grinders to EDM Machines A2Z METALWORKER

24 • June/July 2011

While many shops are ready and willing to take your file and fumble through the task of producing your part, Hilton boasts an in-house engineering team that is one of the best in the business and has allowed them to work with their customer’s files and design teams so that parts are not only turned around quickly, but correctly the first time, everytime.

This type of one-on-one consultation and teamwork around every project that comes through the door is what has had clients coming back year after year for nearly three decades now.

With many production facilities struggling to stay afloat during the current economic period, VanDeWalker recognized an opportunity to attract some of the best individuals in the industry. Hilton took quick advantage of the influx of qualified engineers and machine operators now available and built an allstar squad in Clackamas.

While VanDeWalker focused on building the Wire, Sinker, and Production side of the business, partner Mitch Furrow continued to manage the Tool and Die side.

For more information on the equipment that helps make Hilton Tool great, please contact North South Machinery’s Chris Gendusa at 510-710-5600.

North South Machinery’s Chris Gendusa worked closely with VanDeWalker on helping to support Hilton’s development of high quality Wire EDM work in particular. It quickly became apparent that the quality that Hilton was known for would require a machine capable of delivering such.

Enter a couple of Mitsubishi’s finest: the model FX10 Wire, as well as FA20S Wire EDM. Well known in the industry for not only being unbelievably reliable, but also incredibly precise, Mitsubishi and Hilton Tool seemed a perfect fit in terms of overall approach to the business of machining.

Composites usage in aerospace market to grow 10% per year through 2020

TVT DIE CASTING Precision aluminum and zinc die casting, machining and finishing.

According to a new market study conducted by Lucintel and released in February 2011, demand for new aircraft and composites penetration of up to 52% by structural weight will drive demand for composites in the aerospace market. The report claims that the total demand for composites in commercial aerospace, regional jets, defense, general aviation, helicopter, and other segments of the aerospace market is expected to be worth $41.8 billion over the next 10 years inclusive.

Quality, Reliability and Service

Lucintel, a global management consulting and market research firm, analyzed the global aerospace composites market to develop a comprehensive research report entitled, “Opportunities for Composites in the Global Aerospace Market, 2011-2030” (website registration required). The 362-page report contains 200 figures or charts and 52 tables, according to Lucintel.

We are a full service job shop, providing as much or as little project involvement as required – from tool and die design to finishing and assembly.

800 280 2278

ISO 9001:2008 Certified

The study reports composites usage will vary between aircraft types though the overall the trend is for greater use of composites in all aircraft. An example that illustrates this trend to date includes the Boeing 787, with composites estimated to comprise 50% of the total structural weight, according to Lucintel. Another is the Airbus 380 with 22% of its total structural weight made of composites. Though aluminum predominates overall in aerospace, the industry is showing increased interest in composite materials in its search for more fuel-efficient and corrosive-resistant aircraft.

Lucintel’s analysis finds that wide-body aircraft will more than double their use of composites as compared to narrow body aircraft in the next 10 years. Lucintel assumes that narrow-body aircraft will carry approximately 35% composites in their structural weight by 2018.

The development of narrow-body aircraft is expected to take place 2013-2015 and production by 2018.

Lucintel claims the research report provides insights regarding various aerospace markets, its background and characteristics.The market is analyzed both in terms of segments and regions. It details manufacturing process analysis as well as the evolution of composite applications.

This report profiles the leading players and their market share in detail. It also addresses trends, forecasts, key drivers, and challenges in the aerospace market. For example, the report predicts that in the next ten years, the global aerospace composites market is expected to average over 10.8% per year while individual segment predictions vary greatly from 5.4 to 11.8% per year.

Bloomberg News reports, “Once-ailing manufacturers are enjoying a robust rebound as cost-saving moves from job cuts to a greater reliance on technology help drive stronger-than-forecast growth.” James Paulsen of Wells Capital Management “predicts the industry will set the pace for US expansion and the American stock market during this decade” as part of a possible “manufacturing renaissance.” Paulsen explained that the US manufacturers that survived the downturn became lean and efficient in the process, and as such are well-positioned for success in the future. This brighter future is increasingly reliant on developing markets overseas.

In an analysis for the National Journal, Jim Tankersley wrote that, almost immediately after the news of higher unemployment claims broke came the news from the Labor Department of better than expected job gains. In light of this, he writes, “the recovery doesn’t seem as imperiled – just, well, uneven.” Many experts say job gains are a good measure of the overall economy, but signals have been mixed.

Raytheon Award Raytheon Company has received an $84.7 million U.S. Navy contract for continued production of ALR-67(V)3 digital radar warning receivers. The contract was awarded by the U.S. Naval Air Systems.

The ALR-67(V)3 is the U.S. Navy standard for digital radar warning receiver technology. It is made for installation on all frontline, carrier-based F/A-18 E/F tactical aircraft and is an integral part of modernization programs for U.S. and international customers.

The ALR-67(V)3 is the first deployed radar warning receiver to combine fully channelized digital receiver architecture with the power of dual processors. Its innovative architecture enables the successful detection of emitters in high-density electromagnetic environments and uses leading-edge digital technology for improved reliability.

Intel CEO Says Apple Has Large Impact On Company Planning Reuters reports Apple Inc has a large impact on Intel’s strategic planning, according to Tom Kilroy, a senior vice president at the chipmaker.

According to Reuters, there is some prestige in being selected for inclusion in Apple’s products given their reputation and desirability among consumers.

Saying the company was unconcerned about losing Apple’s support to competitor ARM because of Intel’s focus on processing power, Kilroy simultaneously added that Intel was focused on making less energyintensive processors as it seeks to expand into mobile devices. Reuters notes that the PC market is in a period of upheaval as companies experiment with new operating systems and devices.

J&M Machine Certifies To ISO 9001/ AS 9100 Year After Year with Great Western Registrar LLC

J&M Machine, located in Renton,Washington, is one of Boeing’s A+ students. The company, celebrating its 10th year in business, was founded by Marjorie Langton and two partners.Today, the company is owned by Marjorie (85%), and is a certified Woman-Owned Business. Her son Scott, a veteran, owns 15%.

“Boeing is our largest customer”, Marjorie says, “and to retain our Silver Status, we must consistently build parts per drawing and build them on-time. We machine parts with tolerances of .001, and every source we use to complete parts must also be Boeing certified.”The company’s Boeing scores are 99.7% for quality and 99.8% for on-time delivery!

Marjorie’s background in manufacturing is worthy of telling. She moved to Seattle more than 40 years ago, newly divorced and with small children. “My kids and I went to the library and researched accounting. I was good with numbers, so I applied for a bookkeeping job at a machine shop. I got the job, and moved up within the industry over the next 30 years to General Manager, and eventually CEO of large manufacturing companies. I retired just about a decade ago to begin my leisurely life!”

Shortly after Marjorie retired, she was approached by 2 prior employees, both young men, to open a machine shop. “They asked me to participate since they needed funding and management experience”, Marjorie said.

She continued, “and that is how J&M Machine, LLC was founded.”

The catastrophic events of 9/11 changed everything for J&M, a newly formed machine shop.

Marjorie says that her partners were young, and had families to support, and they had to leave the business to find other jobs. Marjorie bought them out, and survived through the next few difficult years with 4 employees, including herself.

“All 4 of us are still here today, and our respective positions are president, shop foreman, quality manager and machinist”, Marjorie says.

Early on as a new business owner, Marjorie knew that if she were to get coveted work from Boeing, she would have to demonstrate successful certification to ISO 9001/AS 9100. And so, back in her first year of ownership, Marjorie began writing her own quality manual.

Once the manual was complete, Marjo- Dan Robinson, QA Mgr; Head Estimator,TalonVazquez; Marj; rie took it to Boeing for approval. “Back and Marj’s Son, ScottWallace, who was responsible for taking the company to the next level, the level of MBD/DPD approval. in 2001, there weren’t outside auditors.

Boeing was our auditor, and a very fine gentleman, Gordy, at Boeing, approved tion, (5) Poor “Quality”, (6) Inventory and (7) us to make our first Boeing parts. “ Overproduction.

Beginning 4 years ago, Boeing required 3rd party AS 9100 certification, and Marj needed to find an outside Registrar. “I called a number of machine shops, and learned that there wasn’t an ISO Registrar in all ofWashington. I received a few company names from companies outside of Washington, and Great Western Registrar was overwhelmingly the most highly recommended. That’s who I went with.”

J&M’s first auditor from Great Western was Burt Gold. “I was so nervous about the audit”, Marj says, “because a 3rd party auditor could make or break us.We knew we were doing the right things for Boeing, but we didn’t know if this would be satisfactory for an outside auditing firm.”

“In the first hour that Burt spent with us, he allayed all of our fears”, Marj said. “He was fantastic and knowledgeable”, she continued.

Great Western’s Burt spent 2 and a half days to conduct the audit initial assessment, and the company passed easily with no majors and just a couple of minors that were easily remedied.

“We learned a lot from the Great Western Registrar audit, and I credit Burt with helping us to reach even a higher level of performance.

He recommended that we send an employee for “7R training”, which is, in essence, training for “wastes”. The 7R’s include (1) Waiting, (2) Transportation, (3) Processing Itself, (4) Mo-

J&M sent a young employee, Talon Vazquez, to the training program. Talon started with the company in deburring and maintenance roles. Today, he is a college graduate, pursuing his masters, and he is 2nd in command in the Quality Department at J&M Machine.

Marjorie credits Great Western with helping their company to achieve even higher levels of productivity through the training Great Western recommended.

Today, Great Western Registrar has local auditors in Washington, and around the country, to support their customers. Marj continues to utilize their services for her ISO/AS9100 certification.

“Great Western Registrar employees are all very knowledgeable”, she says. “You will be hard pressed to find an ISO/AS 9100 Registrar where all personnel are certified auditors.

When you call Great Western Registrars, you always speak to someone qualified to answer your questions.”

US defense chief warns on defense spending cuts Outgoing Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned on Sunday against sharply cutting the size and reach of the U.S. armed forces to trim the deficit, portraying America’s military might as an essential safeguard of global stability.

The comments by Gates to graduating students at Notre Dame University came as some Republicans and Democrats look to defense as a way to address the U.S deficit, running about $1.4 trillion this fiscal year that ends Sept. 30.

Obama announced plans in April to hold national security spending below the rate of inflation for the next 12 years, a move that would save about $400 billion, mainly from Defense Department budgets.

Gates, a holdover from the Bush administration who is leaving the post at the end of June, predicted future calls for major Pentagon cuts could challenge U.S. global leadership.

“As we make the tough choices needed to put this country’s finances in order ... there will undoubtedly be calls to shrink America’s role in the world, for us to sharply reduce our international commitments and the size and capabilities of our military,” he told the audience at the Indiana university.

But Gates said a properly funded U.S. military “cannot be taken for granted.” He pointed to an unpredictable world grappling with A2Z METALWORKER

32 • June/July 2011

nuclear proliferation, terrorism, revolution throughout the Middle East, as well as a nearly decade-old war in Afghanistan and U.S. efforts to end the war in Iraq.

Gates has repeatedly urged against across-the-board cuts such as those in the 1970s after the Vietnam War or in the 1990s after the Cold War, which he says hollow-out the military. Instead a strategic review of U.S. military missions and capabilities were in order.

Gates has been a strong supporter of greater resources for U.S. diplomacy and economic development, tools commonly referred to as “soft-power,” as a way to advance U.S. interests.

“But make no mistake, the ultimate guarantee against the success of aggressors, dictators, and terrorists in the 21st century, as in the 20th, is hard power -- the size, strength, and global reach of the United States military,” he said.

Gates acknowledged that the size of the U.S. defense budget needed to be addressed, saying the country’s fiscal imbalances and mounting debt could become a “deep crisis for our nation.”

When it came to U.S. military missions and capabilities, Gates said it was important to “separate the desirable or optional from the essential.”

But even as the Pentagon conducts that review, Gates urged the U.S. military should not shrink from the world. He quoted Winston Churchill saying: “The price of greatness is responsibility ... the people of the United States cannot escape world responsibility.”

It has been known that plasmons decay and give up their energy in two ways; they either emit a photon of light or they convert the light energy into heat.The heating process begins when the plasmon transfers its energy to a single electron -- a ‘hot’ electron. Rice graduate student Mark Knight, lead author on the paper, together with Rice theoretical physicist Peter Nordlander, his graduate student Heidar Sobhani, and Halas set out to design an experiment to directly detect the hot electrons resulting from plasmon decay.

Patterning a metallic nanoantenna directly onto a semiconductor to create a “Schottky barrier,” Knight showed that the infrared light striking the antenna would result in a hot electron that could jump the barrier, which creates an electrical current.This works for infrared light at frequencies that would otherwise pass directly through the device.

“The nanoantenna-diodes we created to detect plasmon-generated hot electrons are already pretty good at harvesting infrared light and turning it directly into electricity,” Knight said. “We are eager to see whether this expansion of light-harvesting to infrared frequencies will directly result in higher-efficiency solar cells.”

Boeing Says It Is On Track For 787 Development

Measurement of ‘Hot’ Electrons Could Have Solar Energy Payoff; Nanoantennas Hold Promise for Infrared Photovoltaics “We’re merging the optics of nanoscale antennas with the electronics of semiconductors,” said lead researcher Naomi Halas, Rice’s Stanley C. Moore Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. “There’s no practical way to directly detect infrared light with silicon, but we’ve shown that it is possible if you marry the semiconductor to a nanoantenna.We expect this technique will be used in new scientific instruments for infrared-light detection and for higher-efficiency solar cells.”

More than a third of the solar energy on Earth arrives in the form of infrared light. But silicon -- the material that’s used to convert sunlight into electricity in the vast majority of today’s solar panels -cannot capture infrared light’s energy. Every semiconductor, including silicon, has a “bandgap” where light below a certain frequency passes directly through the material and is unable to generate an electrical current. By attaching a metal nanoantenna to the silicon, where the tiny antenna is specially tuned to interact with infrared light, the Rice team showed they could extend the frequency range for electricity generation into the infrared. When infrared light hits the antenna, it creates a “plasmon,” a wave of energy that sloshes through the antenna’s ocean of free electrons.The study of plasmons is one of Halas’ specialties, and the new paper resulted from basic research into the physics of plasmons that began in her lab years ago.

The AP reports Boeing “posted a bigger-than-expected profit on Wednesday and said it is on track to deliver the much-delayed 787 in the third quarter,” claiming that “95 percent of the flight tests” for the plane are now complete. Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said the challenge now would be ramping up production, a sentiment echoed by some analysts. Meanwhile, the company “also said it still expects to deliver the freighter version of its new 747-8 in mid-2011.” Furthermore, during the earnings report, McNerney “said that the hole that tore open on a Southwest Airlines flight of a Boeing 737 might have resulted from a ‘workmanship issue’ on that single plane, rather than a problem affecting multiple 737s.”

The Wall Street Journal notes McNerney never mentioned when the 787 program would be profitable. But McNerney did say that Bowing would not have a “sharper view” on whether there would be a successor plane for the 737 before the end of the year.

Firearm Sales On The Rise The Wall Street Journal reports gun sales in the US increased nearly 13 percent in the first quarter of 2011, showing the gun industry’s largest year-over-year growth of the past three years.

If the trend continues, the industry will see its most intense increase since 2008, according to the Federally tracked data. Federal background checks, such as NICS, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which is managed by the FBI, are tallied to track the data. NICS figures report a 15 percent increase in firearm sales in March 2011.

Boeing Cites Increased Interest In Super Hornet Boeing Co has seen increased interest in its Super Hornet fighter jet from potential international customers as Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has faced development and cost challenges, a Boeing executive said.

“We have definitely gotten a lot more interest,” Chris Chadwick, president of Boeing Military Aircraft, told reporters.

Chadwick said customers in Asia-Pacific have expressed interest in the F/A18E/F Super Hornet, a jet that can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. He also said potential customers in the Middle East were looking at different versions of that fighter aircraft.

Aerospace analysts have said Boeing’s Super Hornet could benefit from problems and delays with the F-35.

BAE Systems and Dassault Aviation could deliver a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aircraft system in 2016 if Britain and France sign a joint development and production contract this year, company executives said recently.

London and Paris would need to each invest 500 million euros ($731.9 million) in the program, which would include design, development, build and support, Trappier said.

The two companies could design and build in five years a new 8-ton, twin-propeller surveillance air vehicle with 24-hour endurance, Dassault international director Eric Trappier told journalists.

The companies hope for a quick launch decision by London and Paris, which identified cross-channel cooperation on a MALE UAV, and later a combat unmanned air system, in the bilateral defense treaty they signed last November.

BAE, the British aerospace giant, and Dassault, the French aircraft maker, unveiled the name of their joint UAV project, dubbed Telemos, for which a full-scale model went on static display at the Paris Air Show.

The planned drone also would be designed to carry a range of bombs, such as the GBU and armement air-sol modulaire (AASM) precision weapons.

The design teams would be staff members with combat aircraft experience at BAE and Dassault, and would vary between 50 to 100 personnel.

Asked if there is room in the project for EADS, Trappier said if EADS has equipment and competences, it could take part, but the two companies leading the project are BAE and Dassault.

Asked about a possible role for Italian industry, Trappier said, “This is the locomotive.” The program would be open to other partners. “We are not against Europe,” he said.

The satellite “remained in orbit for about two weeks before returning to Earth,” but “all tested systems functioned correctly.”

The article notes satellites like this one, because of how cheaply they can be made, “will allow for greater access for such endeavors as testing new technologies and missions in orbit, director of Northrop’s NovaWorks unit said.”

“We’re success-oriented; we want it to work out,” Pentagon acquisition chief Ashton Carter told Reuters in an interview last week. “It’s important to us because it doubles the number of ships we can take JSF off from.”

The Marine Corps variant, also known as the F-35B, is designed to take off from shorter runways and land vertically, like a helicopter. A variety of issues related to its unique capabilities had slowed development on the new jet.

But Lockheed executives and Carter say those issues are being addressed and the jet is outpacing its flight test schedule for the year.

Carter; Vice Admiral David Venlet, who heads the Pentagon’s F-35 program office; Air Force acquisition chief David Van Buren; and Tom Burbage, Lockheed’s general manager for F-35 program integration, are due to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday about the projected $382 billion F-35 program -- the Pen-

tagon’s costliest arms purchase.

One key issue will be negotiations under way between Lockheed and the Pentagon about a fifth batch of 35 F-35 early-production planes.

The talks got off to a rocky start when Lockheed’s proposal added $5 million to $7 million to the price for each plane compared with the previous batch.

Lockheed argues that its proposal is actually below the level estimated by the government last December, and notes that its costs will be higher since average monthly production under the contract would fall to three planes a month from the initially planned level of four planes a month.

Lawmakers also remain concerned about the fate of the short takeoff, vertical landing(STOVL) variant and the longer-term cost of operating and maintaining the new fighter jet, which is to replace about a dozen warplanes now in use by the U.S. armed services and foreign militaries.

AeroVironment Receives $8.4 Million Order for Digital Raven Systems AeroVironment, Inc. announced that it received a firm-fixed-price contract order valued at $8,373,995 under a follow-on contract with the U.S. Army. The order comprises new digital Raven(r) small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS) and initial spares packages.

A recent article from the U.S. Department of Defense website “Armed with Science” describes how the Army’s Second Heavy Brigade Combat Team (2HBCT), “The Spartan Brigade,” employed the Raven system to reduce enemy attacks on U.S. forces. “...The Raven SUAV (small unmanned aerial vehicle) is an invaluable combat tested and proven asset to small unit combat operations.”

DoD Pushes ‘Targeted’ R&D Funding The Pentagon must continue to invest in unmanned aircraft, cyber tools and long-range strike forces despite a projected decline in defense spending over the next decade, according to the U.S. Defense Department’s No. 2 official.

Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn stressed the need for “targeted research and development” during this time frame, and likened it to the Pentagon’s investment in stealth technology in the 1970s, a time when defense spending sharply fell.

For nearly three decades, the United States has been the only military in the world to operate these types of aircraft, which have reduced vulnerability to radar detection.

With the White House calling for a $400 billion cut in national security spending over the next 12 years, the Pentagon must continue to invest in these emerging technology areas, according to Lynn. “Each of these technology areas will be crucial to future conflicts,” he said during a recent speech.
