Quality Management at AGS-TECH Inc. All our manufacturing operations are conducted under strict QMS guidelines, Total Quality Management TQM guidelines, SPC... Rêvebiriya Kalîteyê li AGS-TECH Inc All plants manufacturing parts and products for AGS-TECH Inc are certified to one or several of the following QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS) standards: - ISO 9001 - TS 16949 - QS 9000 - AS 9100 - ISO 13485 - ISO 14000 Besides the above listed quality management systems, we assure our customers highest quality products and services by manufacturing according to well recognized international standards and certifications such as: - UL, CE, EMC, FCC and CSA Certification Marks, FDA Listing, DIN / MIL / ASME / NEMA / SAE / JIS /BSI / EIA / IEC / ASTM / IEEE Standards, IP, Telcordia, ANSI, NIST The specific standards that apply to a certain product depend on the nature of the product, its application field, usage and customer’s request. We see quality as an area that needs continuous improvement and therefore we never restrict ourselves with these standards only. We continuously strive to increase our quality levels at all plants and all areas, departments and product lines by focusing on: - Six Sigma - Total Quality Management (TQM) - Statistical Process Control (SPC) - Life Cycle Engineering / Sustainable Manufacturing - Robustness in Design, Manufacturing Processes and Machinery - Agile Manufacturing - Value Added Manufacturing - Computer Integrated Manufacturing - Concurrent Engineering - Lean Manufacturing - Flexible Manufacturing For those who are interested in expanding their understanding on quality, let us briefly discuss these. THE ISO 9001 STANDARD: Model for quality assurance in design/development, production, installation, and servicing. The ISO 9001 quality standard is used worldwide and is one of the most common. For initial certification as well as for timely renewals, our plants are visited and audited by accredited independent third-party teams to certify that the quality management standard’s 20 key elements are in place and functioning correctly. The ISO 9001 quality standard is not a product certification, rather a quality process certification. Our plants are periodically audited to maintain this quality standard accreditation. Registration symbolizes our commitment to conform to consistent practices, as specified by our quality system (quality in design, development, production, installation and servicing), including proper documentation of such practices. Our plants are also assured of such good quality practices by demanding our suppliers to be registered too. THE ISO/TS 16949 STANDARD: This is an ISO technical specification aimed at the development of a quality management system that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. It is based on the ISO 9001 quality standard. TS16949 quality standard applies to the design/development, production and, when relevant, installation and servicing of automotive-related products. The requirements are intended to be applied throughout the supply chain. Many of AGS-TECH Inc. plants maintain this quality standard instead of or in addition to the ISO 9001. THE QS 9000 STANDARD: Developed by the automotive giants, this quality standard has extras in addition to the ISO 9000 quality standard. All of the ISO 9000 quality standard’s clauses serve as the foundation of the QS 9000 quality standard. AGS-TECH Inc. plants serving especially the automotive industry are certified to QS 9000 quality standard. THE AS 9100 STANDARD: This is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for the aerospace industry. AS9100 replaces the earlier AS9000 and fully incorporates the entirety of the current version of ISO 9000, while adding requirements relating to quality and safety. The aerospace industry is a high risk sector, and regulatory control is needed to assure that the safety and quality of services offered in the sector are world class. Plants manufacturing our aerospace components are certified to the AS 9100 quality standard. THE ISO 13485:2003 STANDARD: This standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and related services. The main objective of ISO 13485:2003 quality standard is to facilitate harmonized medical device regulatory requirements for quality management systems. Therefore, it includes some particular requirements for medical devices and excludes some of the requirements of ISO 9001 quality system that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements permit exclusions of design and development controls, this can be used as a justification for their exclusion from the quality management system. AGS-TECH Inc’s medical products such as endoscopes, fiberscopes, implants are manufactured at plants that are certified to this quality management system standard. THE ISO 14000 STANDARD: This family of standards pertains to the international Environmental Management Systems. It concerns the way an organization’s activities affect the environment throughout the life of its products. These activities can range from production to disposal of the product after its useful life, and include effects on the environment including pollution, waste generation & disposal, noise, depletion of natural resources and energy. The ISO 14000 standard is related more to the environment rather than quality, but still it is one that many of AGS-TECH Inc.’s global production facilities are certified to. Indirectly though, this standard definitely can increase quality at a facility. WHAT ARE THE UL, CE, EMC, FCC and CSA CERTIFICATION LISTING MARKS ? WHO NEEDS THEM ? THE UL MARK: If a product carries the UL Mark, Underwriters Laboratories found that samples of this product met UL's safety requirements. These requirements are primarily based on UL's own published Standards for Safety. This type of Mark is seen on most appliances and computer equipment, furnaces and heaters, fuses, electrical panel boards, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, flotation devices such as life jackets, and many other products throughout the World and especially in the USA. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the US market are affixed with UL mark. In addition to manufacturing their products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the UL qualification and marking process.Product testing can be verified through UL directories online at http://www.ul.com THE CE MARK: The European Commission allows manufacturers to circulate industrial products with CE mark freely within the internal market of the EU. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the EU market are affixed with CE mark. In addition to manufacturing their products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the CE qualification and marking process.The CE mark certifies that the products have met EU health, safety and environmental requirements that ensure consumer and workplace safety. All manufacturers in the EU as well as outside the EU must affix the CE mark to those products covered by the ''New Approach'' directives in order to market their products within the EU territory. When a product receives the CE mark, it can be marketed throughout the EU without undergoing further product modification. Most products covered by New Approach Directives can be self-certified by the manufacturer and do not require the intervention of an EU-authorized independent testing/certifying company. To self-certify, the manufacturer must assess the conformity of the products to the applicable directives and standards. While the use of EU harmonized standards is voluntary in theory, in practice the use of European standards is the best way to meet the requirements of the CE mark directives, because the standards offer specific guidelines and tests to meet safety requirements, while the directives, general in nature, do not. The manufacturer may affix the CE mark to their product after preparing a declaration of conformity, the certificate which shows the product conforms to the applicable requirements. The declaration must include the manufacturer's name and address, the product, the CE mark directives that apply to the product, e.g. the machine directive 93/37/EC or the low voltage directive 73/23/EEC, the European standards used, e.g. EN 50081-2:1993 for the EMC directive or EN 60950:1991 for the low voltage requirement for information technology. The declaration must show the signature of a company official for purposes of the company assuming liability for the safety of its product in the European market. This European standards organization has set up the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. According to CE, The Directive basically states that products must not emit unwanted electromagnetic pollution (interference). Because there is a certain amount of electromagnetic pollution in the environment, the Directive also states that products must be immune to a reasonable amount of interference. The Directive itself gives no guidelines on the required level of emissions or immunity that is left to the standards that are used to demonstrate compliance with the Directive. The EMC-directive (89/336/EEC) Electromagnetic Compatibility Like all other directives, this is a new-approach directive, which means that only the main requirements (essential requirements) are required. The EMC-directive mentions two ways of showing compliance to the main requirements: •Manufacturers declaration (route acc. art. 10.1) •Type testing using the TCF (route acc. to art. 10.2) The LVD-directive (73/26/EEC) Safety Like all CE-related directives, this is a new-approach directive, which means that only the main requirements (essential requirements) are required. The LVD-directive describes how to show compliance to the main requirements. THE FCC MARK: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions. All devices that operate at a clock rate of 9 kHz are required to be tested to the appropriate FCC Code. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the US market are affixed with FCC mark. In addition to manufacturing their electronic products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the FCC qualification and marking process. THE CSA MARK: The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is a nonprofit association serving business, industry, government and consumers in Canada and the global marketplace. Among many other activities, CSA develops standards that enhance public safety. As a nationally recognized testing laboratory, CSA is familiar with U.S. requirements. According to OSHA regulations, the CSA-US Mark qualifies as an alternative to the UL Mark. WHAT IS FDA LISTING ? WHICH PRODUCTS NEED FDA LISTING ? A medical device is FDA-listed if the firm that manufactures or distributes the medical device has successfully completed an online listing for the device through the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System. Medical devices that do not require FDA review before the devices are marketed are considered ''510(k) exempt.'' These medical devices are mostly low-risk, Class I devices and some Class II devices that have been determined not to require a 510(k) to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. Most establishments that are required to register with the FDA are also required to list the devices that are made at their facilities and the activities that are performed on those devices. If a device requires premarket approval or notification before being marketed in the U.S., then the owner/operator should also provide the FDA premarket submission number (510(k), PMA, PDP, HDE). AGS-TECH Inc. does market and sell some products such as implants that are FDA listed. In addition to manufacturing their medical products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the FDA listing process. More information as well as most current FDA listings can be found on http://www.fda.gov WHAT ARE THE POPULAR STANDARDS AGS-TECH Inc. MANUFACTURING PLANTS COMPLY WITH ? Different customers demand from AGS-TECH Inc. compliance to different norms. Sometimes it is a matter of choice but many times the request depends on customer’s geographic location, or industry they serve, or product’s application…etc. Here are some of the most common ones: DIN STANDARDS: DIN, the German Institute for Standardization develops norms for rationalization, quality assurance, environmental protection, safety and communication in industry, technology, science, government, and the public domain. DIN norms provide companies a basis for quality, safety and minimum functionality expectations and enable you to minimize risk, improve marketability, promote interoperability. MIL STANDARDS: This is a United States defense or military norm, ''MIL-STD'', ''MIL-SPEC'', and is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense. Standardization is beneficial in achieving interoperability, ensuring products meet certain requirements, commonality, reliability, total cost of ownership, compatibility with logistics systems, and other defense-related objectives. It is important to note that defense norms are also used by other non-defense government organizations, technical organizations, and industry. ASME STANDARDS: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is multidisciplinary and global. ASME is one of the oldest standards-developing organizations in the US. It produces approximately 600 codes and standards covering many technical areas, such as fasteners, plumbing fixtures, elevators, pipelines, and power plant systems and components. Many ASME standards are referred to by government agencies as tools to meet their regulatory objectives. ASME norms are therefore voluntary, unless they have been incorporated into a legally binding business contract or incorporated into regulations enforced by an authority having jurisdiction, such as a federal, state, or local government agency. ASME are used in more than 100 countries and have been translated into many languages. NEMA STANDARDS: The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers in the US. Its member companies manufacture products used in the generation, transmission, distribution, control, and end use of electricity. These products are used in utility, industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential applications. NEMA’s Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance division represents manufacturers of cutting-edge medical diagnostic imaging equipment including MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound products. In addition to lobbying activities, NEMA publishes more than 600 standards, application guides, white and technical papers. SAE STANDARDS: SAE International, initially established as the Society of Automotive Engineers, is a U.S.-based, globally active professional association and standards organization for engineering professionals in various industries. Principal emphasis is placed on transport industries including automotive, aerospace, and commercial vehicles. SAE International coordinates the development of technical standards based on best practices. Task forces are brought together from engineering professionals of relevant fields. SAE International provides a forum for companies, government agencies, research institutions…etc. to devise technical standards and recommended practices for the design, construction, and characteristics of motor vehicle components. SAE documents do not carry any legal force, but are in some cases referenced by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada in those agencies' vehicle regulations for the United States and Canada. However, outside North America, SAE documents are generally not a primary source of technical provisions in vehicle regulations. SAE publishes more than 1,600 technical standards and recommended practices for passenger cars and other road travelling vehicles and over 6,400 technical documents for the aerospace industry. JIS STANDARDS: Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specify the norms used for industrial activities in Japan. The standardization process is coordinated by the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee and published through the Japanese Standards Association. The Industrial Standardization Law was revised in 2004 and the ''JIS mark'' (product certification) was changed. Starting October 1, 2005, the new JIS mark has been applied upon re-certification. The use of the old mark was allowed during the three-year transition period until September 30, 2008; and every manufacturer obtaining new or renewing their certification under the authority's approval has been able to use the new JIS mark. Therefore all JIS-certified Japanese products have had the new JIS mark since October 1, 2008. BSI STANDARDS: British Standards are produced by BSI Group which is incorporated and formally designated as the National Standards Body (NSB) for the UK. The BSI Group produces British norms under the authority of the Charter, which lays down as one of the BSI's objectives to set up norms of quality for goods and services, and prepare and promote the general adoption of British Standards and schedules in connection therewith and from time to time to revise, alter and amend such standards and schedules as experience and circumstances require. The BSI Group currently has over 27,000 active standards. Products are commonly specified as meeting a particular British Standard, and generally this can be done without any certification or independent testing. The standard simply provides a shorthand way of claiming that certain specifications are met, while encouraging manufacturers to adhere to a common method for such a specification. The Kitemark can be used to indicate certification by BSI, but only where a Kitemark scheme has been set up around a particular standard. Products and services which BSI certifies as having met the requirements of specific standards within designated schemes are awarded the Kitemark. It is mainly applicable to safety and quality management. There is a common misunderstanding that Kitemarks are necessary to prove compliance with any BS standard, but in general it is neither desirable nor possible that every standard be 'policed' in this way. Because of the move on harmonization of standards in Europe, some British Standards have been gradually superseded or replaced by the relevant European norms (EN). EIA STANDARDS: The Electronic Industries Alliance was a standards and trade organization composed as an alliance of trade associations for electronics manufacturers in the United States, which developed standards to ensure the equipment of different manufacturers was compatible and interchangeable. The EIA ceased operations on February 11, 2011, but the former sectors continue to serve the constituencies of EIA. EIA designated ECA to continue to develop standards for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical electronic components under the ANSI-designation of EIA standards. All other electronic components norms are managed by their respective sectors. ECA is expected to merge with the National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) to form the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA). However, the EIA standards brand will continue for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical (IP&E) electronic components within ECIA. The EIA divided its activities into the following sectors: •ECA – Electronic Components, Assemblies, Equipment & Supplies Association •JEDEC – JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (formerly the Joint Electron Devices Engineering Councils) •GEIA – Now part of TechAmerica, it is the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association •TIA – Telecommunications Industry Association •CEA – Consumer Electronics Association IEC STANDARDS: The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a World organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. More than 10 000 experts from industry, commerce, governments, test and research labs, academia and consumer groups participate in IEC’s Standardization work. The IEC is one of three global sister organizations (they are IEC, ISO, ITU) that develop International Standards for the World. Whenever needed, the IEC cooperates with ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union) to ensure that International Standards fit together well and complement each other. Joint committees ensure that International Standards combine all relevant knowledge of experts working in related areas. Many devices around the World that contain electronics, and use or produce electricity, rely on IEC International Standards and Conformity Assessment Systems to perform, fit and work safely together. ASTM STANDARDS: ASTM International, (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials), is an international organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. Over 12,000 ASTM voluntary consensus standards operate globally. ASTM was established earlier than the other standards organizations. ASTM International has no role in requiring nor enforcing compliance with its standards. They may however be considered mandatory when referenced by a contract, corporation, or government entity. In the United States, ASTM standards have been widely adopted by incorporation or by reference, in many federal, state, and municipal government regulations. Other governments also have referenced ASTM in their work. Corporations doing international business frequently reference an ASTM standard. As an example, all toys sold in the United States must meet the safety requirements of ASTM F963. IEEE STANDARDS: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is an organization within IEEE that develops global standards for a wide range of industries: power and energy, biomedical and health care, information technology, telecommunication and home automation, transportation, nanotechnology, information security, and others. The IEEE-SA has developed them for over a century. Experts from all over the world contribute to the development of IEEE standards. IEEE-SA is a community and not a government body. ANSI ACCREDITATION: The American National Standards Institute is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. The organization also coordinates U.S. standards with international standards in an effort that American products can be used worldwide. ANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, …etc. These standards ensure that the characteristics and performance of products are consistent, that people use the same definitions and terms, and that products are tested the same way. ANSI also accredits organizations that carry out product or personnel certification in accordance with requirements defined in international standards. The ANSI itself does not develop standards, but oversees the development and use of standards by accrediting the procedures of standards developing organizations. ANSI accreditation signifies that the procedures used by standards developing organizations meet the Institute's requirements for openness, balance, consensus, and due process. ANSI also designates specific standards as American National Standards (ANS), when the Institute determines that the standards were developed in an environment that is equitable, accessible and responsive to the requirements of various stakeholders. Voluntary consensus standards quicken the market acceptance of products while making clear how to improve the safety of those products for the protection of consumers. There are approximately 9,500 American National Standards that carry the ANSI designation. In addition to facilitating the formation of these in the United States, ANSI promotes the use of U.S. standards internationally, advocates U.S. policy and technical positions in international and regional organizations, and encourages the adoption of international and national standards where appropriate. NIST REFERENCE: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is a measurement standards laboratory, which is a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. The institute's official mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. As part of its mission, NIST supplies industry, academia, government, and other users with over 1,300 Standard Reference Materials. These artifacts are certified as having specific characteristics or component content, used as calibration standards for measuring equipment and procedures, quality control benchmarks for industrial processes, and experimental control samples. NIST publishes the Handbook 44 that provides the specifications, tolerances, and other technical requirements for weighing and measuring devices. WHAT ARE THE OTHER TOOLS AND METHODS AGS-TECH Inc. PLANTS DEPLOY TO PROVIDE HIGHEST QUALITY ? SIX SIGMA: This is a set of statistical tools based on well known total quality management principles, to continually measure the quality of products and services in selected projects. This total quality management philosophy includes considerations such as ensuring customer satisfaction, delivering defect-free products, and understanding process capabilities. The six sigma quality management approach consists of a clear focus on defining the problem, measuring relevant quantities, analyzing, improving, and controlling processes and activities. Six Sigma quality management at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that aims for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects and driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit in any process ranging from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. To achieve Six Sigma quality level, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. A Six Sigma defect is defined as anything outside of customer specifications. The fundamental objective of the Six Sigma quality methodology is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on process improvement and variation reduction. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM): This is a comprehensive and structured approach to organizational management that aims for the improvement of quality in products and services through ongoing refinements in response to continuous feedback. In a total quality management effort, all members of an organization participate in improving processes, products, services, and the culture in which they work. Total Quality Management requirements may be defined separately for a particular organization or may be defined through established standards, such as the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 9000 series. Total Quality Management can be applied to any type of organization, including production plants, schools, highway maintenance, hotel management, government institutes…etc. STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL (SPC): This is a powerful statistical technique used in quality control for on-line monitoring of part production and rapid identification of of the sources of quality problems. The goal of SPC is to prevent defects from occurring rather than to detect defects in production. SPC enables us to produce a million parts with only a few defective ones that fail quality inspection. LIFE CYCLE ENGINEERING / SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING: Life cycle engineering is concerned with environmental factors as they relate to design, optimization and technical considerations regarding each component of a product or process life cycle. It is not so much a quality concept. The goal of life cycle engineering is to consider the reuse and recycling of products from their earliest stage of design process. A related term, sustainable manufacturing emphasizes the need to conserving natural resources such as materials and energy through maintenance and reuse. As such, neither is this a quality related concept, but an environmental. ROBUSTNESS IN DESIGN, MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND MACHINERY: Robustness is a design, a process, or a system that continues to function within acceptable parameters despite variations in its environment. Such variations are considered noise, they are difficult or impossible to control, such as variations in ambient temperature and humidity, vibrations on shop floor…etc. Robustness is related to quality, the more robust a design, process or system, the higher will be the quality of products and service. AGILE MANUFACTURING: This is a term indicating the use of the principles of lean production on a broader scale. It is ensuring flexibility (agility) in the manufacturing enterprise so that it can quickly respond to changes in product variety, demand and customer needs. It can be considered as a quality concept since it aims for customer satisfaction. Agility is achieved with machines and equipment that has built-in flexibility and reconfigurable modular structure. Other contributors to agility are advanced computer hardware & software, reduced changeover time, implementation of advanced communications systems. VALUE ADDED MANUFACTURING: Even though this is not directly related to quality management, it does have indirect effects on quality. We strive to add additional value in our production processes and services. Instead of having your products produced at many locations and suppliers, it is much more economical and better from a quality point of view to have them produced by one or only a few good suppliers. Receiving and then shipping your parts to another plant for nickel plating or anodizing will only result in increasing the chances of quality problems and add to cost. Therefore we strive to perform all the additional processes for your products, so you get a better value for your money and of course better quality due to lower risk of mistakes or damages during packaging, shipping….etc. from plant to plant. AGS-TECH Inc. offers all the quality parts, components, assemblies and finished products you need from a single source. To minimize quality risks we also do the final packaging and labeling of your products if you want it. COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING: You can find out more on this key concept for better quality on our dedicated page by clicking here. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: This is a systematic approach integrating the design and manufacture of products with the view toward optimizing all elements involved in the life cycle of the products. The main goals of concurrent engineering are to minimize product design and engineering changes, and the time and costs involved in taking the product from design concept to production and introduction of the product into the marketplace. Concurrent engineering does however need top management’s support, have multifunctional and interacting work teams, need to utilize state-of-the-art technologies. Even though this approach is not directly related to quality management, it does indirectly contribute to the quality in a workplace. LEAN MANUFACTURING: You can find out more on this key concept for better quality on our dedicated page by clicking here. FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING: You can find out more on this key concept for better quality on our dedicated page by clicking here.

Sometimes, it is easier and more economical to get the work done by some chemicals, pressurized water jet or even light rather than using traditional techniques such as machining and stamping. On the submenu pages, you can find a summary of each of these alternative non-conventional fabrication techniques we are offering you. Non-conventional fabrication is also referred to as non-traditional fabrication. What distinguishes convention and non-conventional fabrication techniques ? – Generally speaking, conventional fabrication involves changing the shape of a work piece using an implement made of a harder material. Machining hard materials using conventional methods may require significant time and energy and result in high costs. In addition, conventional machining may lead to excessive tool wear and loss of quality in the product owing to induced residual stresses during manufacture. Therefore, especially for hard alloys, non-conventional fabrication techniques may be better alternatives. Whereas conventional fabrication processes generally use mechanical energy (motion), non-conventional fabrication processes utilize other forms of energy. Main forms of energy non-conventional fabrication processes use are: Thermal, Chemical and Electrical Energy. There can be a large number of advantages of non-conventional fabrication techniques over conventional methods. Just to name a few, non-conventional fabrication may involve quieter operation and no sound pollution, such as is the case with Chemical Machining. In non-conventional fabrication, material removal may occur with or without chip formation. For example, in Electrochemical Machining, material removal occurs due to electrochemical dissolution at atomic levels. Non-conventional fabrication may involve lower waste of material due to low or no wear as compared to conventional fabrication. On the other hand, non-conventional fabrication methods do have some disadvantages such as higher capital costs and the need for skilled operators. Also, non-conventional fabrication methods are not suitable for every type of material economically. Here is a downloadable guide comparing conventional and non-conventional fabrication methods: - A Brief Comparison of Conventional and Non-Conventional Fabrication Methods Since we are the World’s most diverse Global Custom Manufacturer, Integrator, Consolidator and Outsourcing Partner; we see it as our duty to determine technically the most suitable and economically the most feasible fabrication technique for your needs. Available techniques involve our non-conventional fabrication methods among others. In order to contract us to manufacture your products, you do not need to be an expert in non-conventional fabrication methods or any other production techniques. We are here to assist and guide you in the right direction. All you need is to contact us and provide as much information as possible about your production needs. We will review your input and determine whether conventional or non-conventional fabrication techniques will be the best fit for your products. We will take into consideration many factors such as lead times, number of parts to be produced, costs, dimensional specifications of your parts and products, material properties and requirements and determine which non-conventional or conventional fabrication technique or techniques will be the best fit. For almost all fabrication techniques, whether it be conventional or non-conventional, we do use CAD/CAM and automated CNC machines as well as manual machines. Sometimes manual machinery is more suitable and practical while for high volume orders automated CNCs are deployed exclusively.

Keys Splines and Pins, Square Flat Key, Pratt and Whitney, Woodruff, Crowned Involute Ball Spline Manufacturing, Serrations, Gib-Head Key from AGS-TECH Inc. Keys & Splines & Pins Manufacturing Other miscellaneous fasteners we provide are keys, splines, pins, serrations. KEYS: A key is a piece of steel lying partly in a groove in the shaft and extending into another groove in the hub. A key is used to secure gears, pulleys, cranks, handles, and similar machine parts to shafts, so that the motion of the part is transmitted to the shaft, or the motion of the shaft to the part, without slippage. The key may also act in a safety capacity; its size can be calculated so that when overloading takes place, the key will shear or break before the part or shaft breaks or deforms. Our keys are also available with a taper on their top surfaces. For tapered keys, the keyway in the hub is tapered to accommodate the taper on the key. Some major types of keys we offer are: Square key Flat key Gib-Head Key – These keys are the same as flat or square tapered keys but with added head for ease of removal. Pratt and Whitney Key – These are rectangular keys with rounded edges. Two-thirds of these keys sit in the shaft and one-third in the hub. Woodruff Key – These keys are semicircular and fit into semicircular keyseats in the shafts and rectangular keyways in the hub. SPLINES: Splines are ridges or teeth on a drive shaft that mesh with grooves in a mating piece and transfer torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them. Splines are capable of carrying heavier loads than keys, permit lateral movement of a part, parallel to the axis of the shaft, while maintaining positive rotation, and allow the attached part to be indexed or changed to another angular position. Some splines have straight-sided teeth, whereas others have curved-sided teeth. Splines with curved-sided teeth are called involute splines. Involute splines have pressure angles of 30, 37.5 or 45 degrees. Both internal and external spline versions are available. SERRATIONS are shallow involute splines with 45 degree pressure angles and are used for holding parts like plastic knobs. Major types of splines we offer are: Parallel key splines Straight-side splines – Also called parallel-side splines, they are used in many automotive and machine industry applications. Involute splines – These splines are similar in shape to involute gears but have pressure angles of 30, 37.5 or 45 degrees. Crowned splines Serrations Helical splines Ball splines PINS / PIN FASTENERS: Pin fasteners are an inexpensive and effective method of assembly when loading is primarily in shear. Pin fasteners can be separated into two groups: Semipermanent Pinsand Quick-Release Pins. Semipermanent pin fasteners require application of pressure or the aid of tools for installation or removal. Two basic types are Machine Pins and Radial Locking Pins. We offer the following machine pins: Hardened and ground dowel pins – We have standardized nominal diameters between 3 to 22 mm available and can machine custom sized dowel pins. Dowel pins can be used to hold laminated sections together, they can fasten machine parts with high alignment accuracy, lock components on shafts. Taper pins – Standard pins with 1:48 taper on the diameter. Taper pins are suitable for light-duty service of wheels and levers to shafts. Clevis pins - We have standardized nominal diameters between 5 to 25 mm available and can machine custom sized clevis pins. Clevis pins can be used on mating yokes, forks and eye members in knuckle joints. Cotter pins – Standardized nominal diameters of cotter pins range from 1 to 20 mm. Cotter pins are locking devices for other fasteners and are generally used with a castle or slotted nuts on bolts, screws, or studs. Cotter pins enable low-cost and convenient locknut assemblies. Two basic pin forms are offered as Radial Locking Pins, solid pins with grooved surfaces and hollow spring pins which are either slotted or come with spiral-wrapped configuration. We offer the following radial locking pins: Grooved straight pins – Locking is enabled by parallel, longitudinal grooves uniformly spaced around the pin surface. Hollow spring pins – These pins are compressed when driven into holes and pins exert spring pressure against the hole walls along their entire engaged length to produce locking fits Quick-release pins: Available types vary widely in head styles, types of locking and release mechanisms, and range of pin lengths. Quick-release pins have applications such as clevis-shackle pin, draw-bar hitch pin, rigid coupling pin, tubing lock pin, adjustment pin, swivel hinge pin. Our quick release pins can be grouped into one of two basic types: Push-pull pins – These pins are made with either a solid or hollow shank containing a detent assembly in the form of a locking lug, button or ball, backed up by some sort of plug, spring or resilient core. The detent member projects from the pins surface until sufficient force is applied in assembly or removal to overcome the spring action and to release the pins. Positive-locking pins - For some quick-release pins, the locking action is independent of insertion and removal forces. Positive-locking pins are suited for shear-load applications as well as for moderate tension loads. CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service RÛPERA BERÊ

Valves, Globe Valve, Gate Valve, Pinch Valve, Diaphragm Valve, Needle Valve, Multi Turn - Quarter Turn Valves for Pneumatics & Hydraulics, Vacuum from AGS-TECH Valves ji bo Pneumatics & Hydraulics & Vacuum The types of pneumatic and hydrolic valves we supply are summarized below. For those who are not very familiar with pneumatic and hydrolic valves, as this will help you better understand the material below, we recommend that you also download Illustrations of Major Valve Types by clicking here MULTI-TURN VALVES OR LINEAR MOTION VALVES The Gate Valve: The gate valve is a general service valve used primarily for on/off, non-throttling service. This type of valve is closed by either a flat face, vertical disc, or gate sliding down through the valve to block the flow. The Globe Valve: Globe valves achieve closure by a plug with a flat or convex bottom lowered onto a matching horizontal seat located in the center of the valve. Raising the plug opens the valve and allows the fluid to flow. Globe valves are used for on/off service and can handle throttling applications. The Pinch Valve: Pinch valves are particularly suited for applications of slurries or liquids with large amounts of suspended solids. Pinch valves seal by means of one or more flexible elements, such as a rubber tube, that can be pinched to shut off flow. The Diaphragm Valve: Diaphragm valves close by means of a flexible diaphragm attached to a compressor. Lowering the compressor by the valve stem, the diaphragm seals and cuts off flow. The diaphragm valve handles well corrosive, erosive and dirty jobs. The Needle Valve: The needle valve is a volume-control valve restricting flow in small lines. The fluid going through the valve turns 90 degrees and passes through an orifice which is the seat for a rod with a cone-shaped tip. The orifice size is changed by positioning the cone in relation to the seat. QUARTER TURN VALVES OR ROTARY VALVES The Plug Valve: Plug valves are used primarily for on/off service and throttling services. Plug valves control flow by means of a cylindrical or tapered plug with a hole in the center that lines up with the flow path of the valve to permit flow. A quarter turn in either direction blocks the flow path. The Ball Valve: The ball valve is similar to the plug valve but uses a rotating ball with a hole through it allowing straight-through flow in the open position and shutting off the flow when the ball is rotated 90 degrees blocking the flow passage. Similar to plug valves, ball valves are used for on-off and throttling services. The Butterfly Valve: The butterfly valve controls flow by using a circular disc or vane with its pivot axis at right angles to the direction of flow in the pipe. Butterfly valves are used for both on/off and throttling services. SELF-ACTUATED VALVES The Check Valve: The check valve is designed to prevent backflow. Fluid flow in the desired direction opens the valve, while backflow forces the valve closed. Check valves are analogous to diodes in an electric circuit or isolators in an optical circuit. The Pressure Relief Valve: Pressure relief valves are designed to provide protection from over-pressure in steam, gas, air and liquid lines. The pressure relief valve ''lets off steam'' when pressure exceeds a safe level, and closes again when pressure drops to the preset safe level. CONTROL VALVES They control conditions such as flow, pressure, temperature, and fluid level by fully or partially opening or closing in response to signals received from controllers that compare a ''setpoint'' to a ''process variable'' whose value is provided by sensors that monitor changes in such conditions. The opening and closing of control valves is usually achieved automatically by electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. Control valves consist of three main parts in which each part exists in several types and designs: 1.) Valve's actuator 2.) Valve's positioner 3.) Valve's body. Control valves are designed to ensure accurate proportioning control of flow. They automatically vary the rate of flow based on signals received from sensing devices in a continuous process. Some valves are designed specifically as control valves. However other valves, both linear and rotary motion, can be used as control valves as well, by the addition of power actuators, positioners and other accessories. SPECIALTY VALVES In addition to these standard types of valves, we produce custom-designed valves and actuators for specific applications. Valves are available in a broad spectrum of sizes and materials. The selection of the proper valve for a particular application is important. When selecting a valve for your application, consider: • The substance to be handled and the ability of the valve to resist attack by corrosion or erosion. • The flow rate • The valve control and shutting off the flow needed by the service conditions. • The maximum working pressures and temperatures and the ability of the valve to withstand them. • Actuator requirements, if any. • Maintenance and repair requirements and suitability of the selected valve for easy service. We produce many specialty valves engineered for specific requirements and operating conditions. For example, Ball Valves are available in two way and three way configurations for standard and severe duty. Hastelloy Valves are the most common special material valves. High Temperature Valves feature an extension to remove the packing area from the hot zone of a valve, making them fit for use at 1,000 Fahrenheit (538 Centigrade). Micro Control Metering Valves are designed to assure the fine and precise stem travel necessary for excellent control of flow. An integrated vernier indicator provides exact measurements of the stem revolutions. Pipe Connection Valves allow users to plumb a system through 15,000 psi using standard NPT pipe connections. Male Bottom Connection Valvesare designed for applications where extra rigidity or space restrictions are critical. These valves have a one-piece stem construction to increase durability and reduce the overall height. Double Block and Bleed Ball Valves are designed for high pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems used for pressure monitoring and testing, chemical injection and drain line isolation. COMMON VALVE ACTUATOR TYPES Manual Actuators A manual actuator employs levers, gears, or wheels to facilitate movement while an automatic actuator has an external power source to provide the force and motion to operate a valve remotely or automatically. Power actuators are needed for valves located in remote areas. Power actuators are also used on valves that are frequently operated or throttled. Valves that are particularly large may be impossible or impractical to operate manually because of the sheer horsepower requirements. Some valves are located in very hostile or toxic environments that makes manual operation very difficult or impossible. As a safety functionality, some types of power actuators may be required to act quickly, shutting down a valve in cases of emergency. Hydraulic and Pneumatic Actuators Hydraulic and pneumatic actuators are often used on linear and quarter-turn valves. Sufficient air or fluid pressure acts on a piston to provide thrust in a linear motion for gate or globe valves. The thrust is mechanically converted to rotary motion to operate a quarter-turn valve. Most types of fluid power actuators can be supplied with fail-safe features to close or open a valve under emergency circumstances. Electric Actuators Electric actuators have motor drives that provide torque to operate a valve. Electric actuators are often used on multi-turn valves like gate or globe valves. With the addition of a quarter-turn gearbox, they can be utilized on ball, plug, or other quarter-turn valves.

Pneumatic Reservoirs, Hydraulic Reservoir, Vacuum Chambers, Tanks, High Vacuum Chamber, Hydraulics & Pneumatics System Components Manufacturing at AGS-TECH Inc. Reservoir & Odeyên ji bo Hîdraulîk & Pneumatîk & Vacuum New designs of hydraulic and pneumatic systems require smaller and smaller RESERVOIRS than the traditional ones. We specialize in reservoirs that will meet your industrial needs and standards and are as compact as possible. High vacuum is expensive, and therefore the smallest VACUUM CHAMBERS that will fulfill your needs are the most appealing in most cases. We specialize in modular vacuum chambers and equipment and can offer you solutions on an ongoing basis as your business grows. HYDRAULIC & PNEUMATIC RESERVOIRS: Fluid power systems require air or liquid to transmit energy. Pneumatic systems use the air as the source for reservoirs. A compressor takes in atmospheric air, compresses it and then stores it in a receiver tank. A receiver tank is similar to a hydraulic system’s accumulator. A receiver tank stores energy for future use similar to a hydraulic accumulator. This is possible because air is a gas and is compressible. At the end of the work cycle the air is simply returned to the atmosphere. Hydraulic systems, on the other hand, need a finite amount of liquid fluid that must be stored and reused continually as the circuit works. Reservoirs are therefore part of almost any hydraulic circuit. Hydraulic reservoirs or tanks may be part of the machine framework or a separate stand-alone unit. The design and application of reservoirs is very important. The efficiency of a well-designed hydraulic circuit can be greatly reduced by poor reservoir design. Hydraulic reservoirs do much more than just providing a place to store fluid. FUNCTIONS OF PNEUMATIC & HYDRAULIC RESERVOIRS: In addition to holding in reserve enough fluid to supply a system's varying needs, a reservoir provides: -A large surface area for transferring heat from the fluid to the surrounding environment. -Sufficient volume to let returning fluid slow down from a high velocity. This allows heavier contaminants to settle down and facilitates air escape. Air space above the fluid can accept air that bubbles out of the fluid. Users get access to remove used fluid and contaminants from the system and can add new fluid. -A physical barrier separating fluid entering the reservoir from fluid entering the pump suction line. -Space for hot-fluid expansion, gravity drain-back from a system during shutdown, and storage of large volumes needed intermittently during peak periods of operation -In some cases, a convenient surface to mount other system components and components. COMPONENTS OF RESERVOIRS: The filler-breather cap should include a filter media to block contaminants as the fluid level lowers and rises during a cycle. If the cap is used for filling, it should have a filter screen in its neck to catch large particles. It is best to pre-filter any fluid entering reservoirs. The drain plug is removed and tank emptied when the fluid needs to be changed. At this time, the clean-out covers should be removed to provide access to clean out all stubborn residue, rust, and flaking that may have accumulated in the reservoir. The clean-out covers and internal baffle are assembled together, with some brackets to keep the baffle upright. Rubber gaskets seal the clean-out covers to prevent leaks. If the system is seriously contaminated, one must flush all pipes and actuators while changing the tank fluid. This can be done by disconnecting the return line and placing its end in a drum, then cycling the machine. Sight glasses on reservoirs make it easy to visually check fluid levels. Calibrated sight gauges provide even more accuracy. Some sight gauges include a fluid-temperature gauge. The return line should be located in the same end of the reservoir as the inlet line and on the opposite side of the baffle. Return lines should terminate below fluid level to reduce turbulence and aeration in reservoirs. The open end of the return line should be cut at 45 degrees to eliminate the chances of stopping flow if it gets pushed to the bottom. Alternatively the opening can be pointed toward the side wall to get the maximum heat-transfer surface contact possible. In cases where hydraulic reservoirs are part of the machine base or body, it may not be possible to incorporate some of these features. Reservoirs are occasionally pressurized because pressurized reservoirs provide the positive inlet pressure required by some pumps, usually in line piston types. Also pressurized reservoirs force fluid into a cylinder through an undersized pre-fill valve. This may require pressures between 5 and 25 psi and one cannot use conventional rectangular reservoirs. Pressurizing reservoirs keeps out contaminates. If the reservoir always has a positive pressure in it there is no way for atmospheric air with its contaminants to enter. Pressure for this application is very low, between 0.1 to 1.0 psi, and may be acceptable even in rectangular model reservoirs. In a hydraulic circuit, wasted horsepower needs to be calculated in order to determine heat generation. In highly efficient circuits the wasted horsepower could be low enough to use the reservoirs cooling capacities to keep maximum operating temperatures below 130 F. If heat generation is slightly higher than what standard reservoirs can handle, it may be best to oversize the reservoirs rather than adding heat exchangers. Oversized reservoirs are less expensive than heat exchangers; and avoid the cost of installing water lines. Most industrial hydraulic units operate in warm indoor environments and therefore low temperatures are not a problem. For circuits that see temperatures below 65 to 70 F., some sort of fluid heater is recommended. The most common reservoir heater is an electric-powered immersion type unit. These reservoir heaters consist of resistive wires in a steel housing with a mounting option. Integral thermostatic control is available. Another way to electrically heat reservoirs is with a mat that has heating elements like electric blankets. This type heaters require no ports in the reservoirs for insertion. They evenly heat the fluid during times of low or no fluid circulation. Heat can be introduced through a heat exchanger by using hot water or steam The exchanger becomes a temperature controller when it also uses cooling water to take away heat when needed. Temperature controllers are not a common option in most climates because the majority of industrial applications operate in controlled environments. Always consider first if there is any way to reduce or eliminate unnecessarily generated heat, so it does not have to be paid for twice. It is costly to produce the unused heat and it is also expensive to get rid of it after it enters the system. Heat exchangers are costly, the water running through them is not free, and maintenance of this cooling system can be high. Components such as flow controls, sequence valves, reducing valves, and undersized directional control valves can add heat to any circuit and should be carefully thought about when designing. After calculating wasted horsepower, review catalogs that include charts for given size heat exchangers showing the amount of horsepower and/or BTU they can remove at different flows, oil temperatures, and ambient air temperatures. Some systems use a water-cooled heat exchanger in the summer and an air-cooled one in the winter. Such arrangements eliminate plant heating in summer weather and save on heating costs in the winter. SIZING OF RESERVOIRS: The volume of a reservoir is a very important consideration . A rule of thumb for sizing a hydraulic reservoir is that its volume should equal three times the rated output of the system's fixed-displacement pump or mean flow rate of its variable-displacement pump. As an example, a system using a 10 gpm pump should have a 30 gal reservoir. This is nevertheless only a guideline for initial sizing. Due to modern day system technology, design objectives have changed for economic reasons, such as space saving, minimizing oil usage, and overall system cost reductions. Regardless of whether you choose to follow the traditional rule of thumb or follow the trend toward smaller reservoirs, be aware of parameters that may influence the reservoir size required. As an example, some circuit components such as large accumulators or cylinders may involve large volumes of fluid. Therefore, larger reservoirs may be needed so that fluid level does not drop below the pump inlet regardless of pump flow. Systems exposed to high ambient temperatures also require larger reservoirs unless they incorporate heat exchangers. Be sure to consider the substantial heat that can be generated within a hydraulic system. This heat is generated when the hydraulic system produces more power than is consumed by the load. The size of reservoirs, therefore, is determined primarily by the combination of highest fluid temperature and highest ambient temperature. All other factors being equal, the smaller the temperature difference between the two temperatures, the larger the surface area and hence the volume needed to dissipate heat from fluid to the surrounding environment. If the ambient temperature exceeds the fluid temperature, a heat exchanger will be needed to cool the fluid. For applications where space conservation is important, heat exchangers can reduce reservoir size and cost significantly. If reservoirs are not full at all times, they may not be dissipating heat through their full surface area. Reservoirs should contain at least 10% additional space of fluid capacity. This allows for thermal expansion of the fluid and gravity drain-back during shutdown, yet still provides a free fluid surface for deaeration. Maximum fluid capacity of reservoirs are marked permanently on their top plate. Smaller reservoirs are lighter, more compact, and less expensive to manufacture and maintain than one of traditional size and they are environmentally more friendly by reducing the total amount of fluid that can leak from a system. However specifying smaller reservoirs for a system must be accompanied by modifications that compensate for the lower volumes of fluid contained in the reservoirs. Smaller reservoirs have less surface area for heat transfer, and therefore heat exchangers may be necessary to maintain fluid temperatures within requirements. Also, in smaller reservoirs contaminants will not have as much opportunity for settling, so high-capacity filters will be required to trap contaminants. Traditional reservoirs provide the opportunity for air to escape from fluid before it is drawn into the pump inlet. Providing too small reservoirs could result in aerated fluid being drawn into the pump. This could damage the pump. When specifying a small reservoir, consider installing a flow diffuser, which reduces the velocity of return fluid, and helps prevent foaming and agitation, thus reducing potential pump cavitation from flow disturbances at the inlet. Another method you can use is to install a screen at an angle in the reservoirs. The screen collects small bubbles, which join with others to form large bubbles that rise to the fluid's surface. Nevertheless the most efficient and economical method to prevent aerated fluid from being drawn into the pump is to prevent aeration of fluid in the first place by paying careful attention to fluid flow paths, velocities, and pressures when designing a hydraulic system. VACUUM CHAMBERS: While it is sufficient to manufacture most of our hydraulic and pneumatic reservoirs by sheet metal forming due to the relatively low pressures involved, some or even most of our vacuum chambers are machined from metals. Very low pressure vacuum systems must endure high external pressures from the atmosphere and cannot be made of sheet metals, plastic moulds or other fabrication techniques that reservoirs are made of. Therefore vacuum chambers are relatively more expensive than reservoirs in most cases. Also sealing of vacuum chambers is a greater challenge as compared to reservoirs in most cases because gas leaks into the chamber is hard to control. Even minute amounts of air leak into some vacuum chambers can be disastrous while most pneumatic and hydraulic reservoirs can tolerate some leakage easily. AGS-TECH is a specialist in high and ultra high vacuum chambers and equipment. We provide our clients the highest quality in engineering and fabrication of high vacuum and ultra high vacuum chambers and equipment.

Waterjet Machining - WJ Cutting - Abrasive Water Jet - Hydrodynamic Machining - WJM - AWJM - AJM - AGS-TECH Inc. - USA Makînekirina Waterjet & Abrasive Waterjet & Abrasive-Jet Machining and Cutting The principle of operation of WATER-JET, ABRASIVE WATER-JET and ABRASIVE-JET MACHINING & CUTTING is based on momentum change of the fast flowing stream that hits the workpiece. During this momentum change, a strong force acts and cuts the workpiece. These WATERJET CUTTING & MACHINING (WJM) techniques are based on water and highly refined abrasives, propelled at three times the speed of sound, to make incredibly accurate and precise cuts in virtually any material. For some materials like leather and plastics, an abrasive may be omitted and cutting can be done only with water. Waterjet machining can do things that other techniques cannot, from cutting intricate, very thin details in stone, glass and metals; to rapid hole drilling of titanium. Our waterjet cutting machines can handle large flat stock material with many feet of dimensions with no limit to the type of material. To make cuts and manufacture parts, we can scan images from files into the computer or a Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) of your project can be prepared by our engineers. We need to determine the type of material being cut, its thickness, and the desired cut quality. Intricate designs present no problem as the nozzle simply follows the rendered image pattern. Designs are limited only by your imagination. Contact us today with your project and let us give you our suggestions and quote. Let us examine these three types of processes in detail. WATER-JET MACHINING (WJM): The process may equally be called HYDRODYNAMIC MACHINING. The highly localized forces from the water-jet are used for cutting and deburring operations. In simpler words, the water jet acts like a saw that cuts a narrow and smooth groove in the material. Pressures levels in waterjet-machining are around 400 MPa which is pretty sufficient for efficient operation. If needed, pressures that are a few times this value can be generated. The diameters of jet nozzles are in the neighborhood of 0.05 to 1mm. We cut a variety of nonmetallic materials such as fabrics, plastics, rubber, leather, insulating materials, paper, composite materials using the waterjet cutters. Even complicated shapes such as automotive dashboard coverings made of vinyl and foam can be cut using multiple-axis, CNC controlled waterjet machining equipment. Waterjet machining is an efficient and clean process when compared to other cutting processes. Some of the major advantages of this technique are: -Cuts can be started at any location on the work piece without the need to predrill holes. -No significant heat is produced -The waterjet machining and cutting process is well suited for flexible materials because no deflection and bending of the workpiece takes place. -The burrs produced are minimal -Water-jet cutting and machining is an environmentally friendly and safe process that uses water. ABRASIVE WATER-JET MACHINING (AWJM): In this process, abrasive particles such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide are contained in the water jet. This increases the material removal rate over that of purely water-jet machining. Metallic, nonmetallic, composite materials and others can be cut using AWJM. The technique is particularly useful for us in cutting heat-sensitive materials that we cannot cut using other techniques that produce heat. We can produce minimum holes of 3mm size and maximum depths of about 25 mm. Cutting speed can reach as high as several meters per minute depending on material being machined. For metals the cutting speed in AWJM is less as compared to plastics. Using our multiple-axis robotic control machines we can machine complex three-dimensional parts to finish dimensions without the need for a second process. To keep nozzle dimensions and diameter constant we use sapphire nozzles which is important in keeping accuracy and repeatability of the cutting operations. ABRASIVE-JET MACHINING (AJM) : In this process a high-velocity jet of dry air, nitrogen or carbondioxide containing abrasive particles hits and cuts the workpiece under controlled conditions. Abrasive-Jet Machining is used for cutting small holes, slots and intricate patterns in very hard and brittle metallic and nonmetallic materials, deburring and removing flash from parts, trimming and beveling, removing surface films such as oxides, cleaning of components with irregular surfaces. The gas pressures are around 850 kPa, and the abrasive-jet velocities around 300 m/s. Abrasive particles have diameters around 10 to 50 microns. The high speed abrasive particles round off sharp corners and holes made tend to be tapered. Therefore designers of parts that will be machined by abrasive-jet should take these into consideration and make sure the produced parts do not require such sharp corners and holes. The water-jet, abrasive water-jet and abrasive-jet machining processes can be used effectively for cutting and deburring operations. These techniques have an inherent flexibility thanks to the fact that they do not use hard tooling. CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service RÛPERA BERÊ

Please click on the links below to select the filtration product of your interest. Activated Carbon Filters Activated carbon also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. Due to its high degree of microporosity, just one gram of activated carbon has a surface area in excess of 1,300 m2 (14,000 sq ft). An activation level sufficient for useful application of activated carbon may be attained solely from high surface area; however, further chemical treatment often enhances adsorption properties. Activated carbon is widely used in filters for gas purification, filters for decaffeination, metal extraction & purification, filtration & purification of water, medicine, treatment of sewage, air filters in gas masks and respirators, compressed air filters, filtering of alcoholic beverages like vodka and whiskey from organic impurities which can affect taste, odor and color among many other applications. Activated carbon is being used in various types of filters, most commonly in panel filters, non-woven fabric, cartridge type filters....etc. You can download brochures of our activated carbon filters from the links below. - Air Purification Filters (includes folded type and V-shaped Activated Carbon Air Filters) Ceramic Membrane Filters Ceramic membrane filters are inorganic, hydrophilic, and are ideal for extreme nano-, ultra-, and micro-filtration applications that require longevity, superior pressure/temperature tolerances and resistance to aggressive solvents. Ceramic membrane filters are basically ultra-filtration or micro-filtration filters, used to treat wastewater and water at higher elevated temperatures. Ceramic membrane filters are produced from inorganic materials such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, titanium oxide, and zirconium oxide. The membrane porous core material is first formed through extrusion process which becomes the support structure for the ceramic membrane. Then coatings are applied to the inner face or the filtering face with the same ceramic particles or sometimes different particles, depending on the application. For example, if your core material is aluminum oxide, we also use aluminum oxide particles as the coating. The size of ceramic particles used for the coating, as well as the number of coating applied will determine the pore size of the membrane as well as the distribution characteristics. After depositing the coating to the core, high-temperature sintering takes place inside a furnace, making the membrane layer integral of the core support structure. This provides us a very durable and hard surface. This sintered bonding ensures a very long life for the membrane. We can custom manufacture ceramic membrane filters for you from micro-filtration range to ultra-filtration range by varying the number of coatings and by using the right particle size for the coating. Standard pore sizes can vary from 0.4 microns to .01 micron size. Ceramic membrane filters are like glass, very hard and durable, unlike polymeric membranes. Therefore ceramic membrane filters offer a very high mechanical strength. Ceramic membrane filters are chemically inert, and they can be used at a very high flux compared to polymeric membranes. Ceramic membrane filters can be vigorously cleaned and are thermally stable. Ceramic membrane filters have a very long operational life, roughly three to four times as long compared to the polymeric membranes. Compared to polymeric filters, ceramic filters are very expensive, because ceramic filtration applications start where the polymeric applications end. Ceramic membrane filters have various applications, mostly in treating very difficult to treat water and wastewater, or where high temperature operations are involved. It also has vast applications in oil and gas, wastewater recycling, as a pre‑treatment for RO, and for removing precipitated metals from any precipitation process, for oil & water separation, food and beverage industry, microfiltration of milk, clarification of fruit juice, reclamation and collection of nano powders and catalyzers, in the pharmaceutical industry, in mining where you have to treat the wasted tailing ponds. We offer single channel as well as multiple channel shaped ceramic membrane filters. Both off-the-shelf as well as custom manufacturing is offered to you by AGS-TECH Inc. Ceramic Foam Filters Ceramic foam filter is a tough foam made from ceramics . Open-cell polymer foams are internally impregnated with ceramic slurry and then fired in a kiln , leaving only ceramic material. The foams may consist of several ceramic materials such as aluminium oxide , a common high-temperature ceramic. Ceramic foam filters get insulating properties from the many tiny air-filled voids within the material. Ceramic foam filters are used for filtration of molten metal alloys, absorption of environmental pollutants , and as substrate for catalysts requiring large internal surface area. Ceramic foam filters are hardened ceramics with pockets of air or other gases trapped in pores throughout the body of the material. These materials can be fabricated as high as 94 to 96% air by volume with high temperature resistances such as 1700 °C. Since most ceramics are already oxides or other inert compounds, there is no danger of oxidation or reduction of the material in ceramic foam filters. - Ceramic Foam Filters Brochure - Ceramic Foam Filter User's Guide HEPA Filters HEPA is a type of air filter and the abbreviation stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA). Filters meeting the HEPA standard have many applications in clean rooms, medical facilities, automobiles, aircraft and homes. HEPA filters must satisfy certain standards of efficiency such as those set by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). To qualify as HEPA by US government standards, an air filter must remove from the air that passes through 99.97% of particles that are sized 0.3 µm. HEPA filter's minimal resistance to airflow, or pressure drop, is generally specified as 300 pascals (0.044 psi) at its nominal flow rate. HEPA filtration works by mechanical means and does not resemble the Ionic and Ozone filtration methods which use negative ions and ozone gas respectively. Therefore, the chances of potential pulmonary side-effects like asthma and allergies is much lower with HEPA filtering systems. HEPA filters are also used in high quality vacuum cleaners effectively to protect users from asthma and allergies, because HEPA filter traps fine particles such as pollens and dust mite feces which trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. Contact us if you would like to get our opinion about using HEPA filters for a particular application or project. You can download our product brochures for off-the-shelf HEPA filters below. If you cannot find the right size or shape you would need we will be happy to design and manufacture custom HEPA filters for your special application. - Air Purification Filters (includes HEPA Filters) - Private Label Industrial Filters (We can put your company name and logo on these filters. Includes also HEPA filters) Coarse Filters & Pre-Filtering Media Coarse filters and pre-filtering media are used to block large debris. They are of critical importance because they are inexpensive and protect the more expensive higher grade filters from being contaminated with coarse particulates and contaminants. Without coarse filters and pre-filtering media, the cost of filtering would have been much much higher as we would need to change fine filters much more frequently. Most of our coarse filters and pre-filtering media are made of synthetic fibers with controlled diameters and pore sizes. Coarse filter materials include the popular material polyester. Filtering efficiency grade is an important parameter to check for before choosing a particular coarse filter / pre-filtering media. Other parameters and features to check for are whether the pre-filtering media is washable, reusable, arrestance value, resistance against air or fluid flow, rated air flow, dust and particulate holding capacity, temperature resistance, flammability, pressure drop characteristics, dimensional and shape related specification...etc. Contact us for opinion before choosing the right coarse filters & pre-filtering media for your products and systems. - Wire Mesh and Cloth Brochure (includes information on our wire mesh & cloth filters manufacturing capabilities.

Such things may be molecules, ions, or other small particles. Generally, polymeric membranes are used to separate, concentrate, or fractionate a wide variety of liquids. Membranes serve as a thin barrier between miscible fluids that allow for preferential transport of one or more feed components when a driving force is applied, such as a pressure differential. We offer a suite of nanofiltration, ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes that are engineered to provide optimal flux and rejection and can be customized to meet the unique requirements of specific process applications. Membrane filtration systems are the heart of many separation processes. Technology selection, equipment design, and fabrication quality are all critical factors in the ultimate success of a project. To start, the proper membrane configuration must be selected. Contact us for help in your projects. RÛPERA BERÊ
