AGS-TECH Difference: World's Most Diverse Global Engineering Integrator, Custom Manufacturer, Contract Manufacturing Partner, Consolidator, Subcontractor AGS-TECH Разлика: најразновидните сопствени производители во светот, консолидатор, инженерски интегратор и партнер за надворешни извори AGS-TECH Inc. is recognized globally as the World's Most Diverse Custom Manufacturer, Consolidator, Engineering Integrator and Outsourcing Partner. Our spectrum of custom manufacturing, engineering and integration capabilities is wider than any other company. When you contact us, you don’t have to worry about searching other suppliers for outsourcing your machined, molded, stamped, forged components, or suppliers who can assemble your electronic or optical products or else. When you contact AGS-TECH Inc., you have come to the right place to outsource all your custom manufactured components, subassemblies, assemblies and finished products. We can custom manufacture them from scratch all the way to a finished, packaged and labeled product. Neither do you have to worry about shipping and customs clearance, as we do it all for you, unless you prefer to do it yourself. Being the World's Most Diverse Custom Manufacturer, Consolidator, Engineering Integrator and Outsourcing Partner, AGS-TECH keeps working on many projects of different nature and projects of extraordinary complexity. Most outsourcing partners in the market have limited technological and logistical capability. They have an understanding of only a few areas of technology. A typical outsourcing partner may be capable of providing you custom castings and machined parts only, or they may be able to offer you custom casting, machining, forging and stamping. Other outsourcing partners may specialize in only custom manufactured electronics and offer you PCB, PCBA and cable assemblies. Working with such a typical custom manufacturer or outsourcing partner that supplies only PCBA and cable assembly, you would need to outsource the custom designed plastic housings of your products from a mold maker. This would inevitably make logistics more expensive and increase the risks in integration and consolidation. Components manufactured and supplied by a number of different sources have a high potential of mismatching and incompatibility. If any problem arises during the assembly of these custom manufactured components, each of the different manufacturers will be inclined to blame the other components manufacturers. You will be caught in the middle of a fire with no way out and finally your invested tooling and molding fees plus product payments would be lost and your project either delayed or cancelled due to economic losses and late delivery. You could even lose other repeat-orders that were previously well manufactured and shipped to your customers, because your overall quality rating with your customer’s QC Department will drop. On the other hand, when you work with AGS-TECH as a custom manufacturer, consolidator, engineering integrator and outsourcing partner, we take responsibility for the entire project. We make sure that all the custom designed interior electronics, optoelectronics, optics, mechanics of your product works in harmony and integrates well. Furthermore, we assure that the custom interior components fit well with the outer components and can sustain mechanical, thermal…etc. shocks and offer environmental reliability as a whole. As a manufacturing integrator and consolidator we can ship all the product parts unassembled, partially assembled or fully assembled. Besides compatibility, this offers a logistical advantage, because product components can be consolidated and shipped together as a single consignment. Being the World’s most diverse global custom manufacturer, consolidator, engineering , integrator and outsourcing partner with the widest spectrum of manufacturing capabilities, we are shareholders and partners of production facilities around the globe. To keep our top spot as a reliable outsourcing partner and custom manufacturer we constantly are on the outlook to buy manufacturing facilities globally or partner with them. Here is a link to download some basic Information on Global Custom Manufacturing, Integration, Consolidation and Outsourcing by AGS-TECH Inc. Even more important than being the most diverse global custom manufacturer and outsourcing partner is the outstanding quality of our team and their leadership skills. All our management team members have at least a B.S. or B.Eng. degree from globally recognized institutions and most have an. M.S., M.Eng or PhD degree in a technical field and MBA or ,instead of the MBA, many years of industrial experience with top technology companies.

Electron Beam Machining, EBM, E-Beam Machining & Cutting & Boring, Custom Manufacturing of Parts - AGS-TECH Inc. - NM - USA EBM Machining & Electron Beam Machining In ELECTRON-BEAM MACHINING (EBM) we have high-velocity electrons concentrated into a narrow beam which are directed toward the work piece, creating heat and vaporizing the material. Thus EBM is a kind of HIGH-ENERGY-BEAM MACHINING technique. Electron-Beam Machining (EBM) can be used for very accurate cutting or boring of a variety of metals. Surface finish is better and kerf width is narrower in comparison to other thermal-cutting processes. The electron beams in EBM-Machining equipment are generated in an electron beam gun. The applications of Electron-Beam Machining are similar to those of Laser-Beam Machining, except that EBM requires a good vacuum. Thus these two processes are classified as electro-optical-thermal processes. The workpiece to be machined with EBM process is located under the electron beam and is kept under vacuum. The electron beam guns in our EBM machines are also provided with illumination systems and telescopes for alignment of the beam with the workpiece. Workpiece is mounted on a CNC table so that holes of any shape can be machined using the CNC control and beam deflection functionality of the gun. To achieve the fast evaporation of the material, the planar density of the power in the beam must be as high as possible. Values up to 10exp7 W/mm2 can be achieved at the spot of impact. The electrons transfer their kinetic energy into heat in a very small area, and the material impacted by the beam is evaporated in a very short time. The molten material at the top of the front, is expelled from the cutting zone by the high vapor pressure at the lower parts. EBM equipment is built similarly to electron beam welding machines. Electron-beam machines usually utilize voltages in the range of 50 to 200 kV to accelerate electrons to about 50 to 80% of the speed of light (200,000 km/s). Magnetic lenses whose function is based on Lorentz forces are used to focus the electron beam to the surface of the workpiece. With the help of a computer, the electromagnetic deflection system positions the beam as needed so holes of any shape can be drilled. In other words, the magnetic lenses in Electron-Beam-Machining equipment shape the beam and reduce the divergence. Apertures on the other hand allow only the convergent electrons to pass and capture the divergent low energy electrons from the fringes. The aperture and the magnetic lenses in EBM-Machines thus improve the quality of the electron beam. The gun in EBM is used in pulsed mode. Holes can be drilled in thin sheets using a single pulse. However for thicker plates, multiple pulses would be needed. Switching pulse durations of as low as 50 microseconds to as long as 15 miliseconds are generally used. To minimize electron collisions with air molecules resulting in scattering and keep contamination to a minimum, vacuum is used in EBM. Vacuum is difficult and expensive to produce. Especially obtaining good vacuum within large volumes and chambers is very demanding. Therefore EBM is best suited for small parts that fit into reasonably sized compact vacuum chambers. The level of vacuum within the EBM’s gun is in the order of 10EXP(-4) to 10EXP(-6) Torr. The interaction of the electron beam with the work piece produces X-rays which pose health hazard, and therefore well trained personnel should operate EBM equipment. Generally speaking, EBM-Machining is used for cutting holes as small as 0.001 inch (0.025 millimetre) in diameter and slots as narrow as 0.001 inch in materials up to 0.250 inch (6.25 millimetres) thick. Characteristic length is the diameter over which the beam is active. Electron beam in EBM may have a characteristic length of tens of microns to mm depending on degree of focusing of the beam. Generally, the high-energy focused electron beam is made to impinge on the workpiece with a spot size of 10 – 100 microns. EBM can provide holes of diameters in the range of 100 microns to 2 mm with a depth up to 15 mm, i.e., with a depth/diameter ratio of around 10. In case of defocused electron beams, power densities would drop as low as 1 Watt/mm2. However in case of focused beams the power densities could be increased to tens of kW/mm2. As a comparison, laser beams can be focused over a spot size of 10 – 100 microns with a power density as high as 1 MW/mm2. Electrical discharge typically provides the highest power densities with smaller spot sizes. Beam current is directly related to the number of electrons available in the beam. Beam current in Electron-Beam-Machining can be as low as 200 microamperes to 1 ampere. Increasing the EBM’s beam current and/or pulse duration directly increases the energy per pulse. We use high-energy pulses in excess of 100 J/pulse to machine larger holes on thicker plates. Under normal conditions, EBM-machining offers us the advantage of burr-free products. The process parameters directly affecting the machining characteristics in Electron-Beam-Machining are: • Acceleration voltage • Beam current • Pulse duration • Energy per pulse • Power per pulse • Lens current • Spot size • Power density Some fancy structures can also be obtained using Electron-Beam-Machining. Holes can be tapered along the depth or barrel shaped. By focusing the beam below the surface, reverse tapers can be obtained. A wide range of materials like steel, stainless steel, titanium and nickel super-alloys, aluminum, plastics, ceramics can be machined using e-beam-machining. There could be thermal damages associated with EBM. However, the heat-affected zone is narrow due to short pulse durations in EBM. The heat-affected zones are generally around 20 to 30 microns. Some materials such as aluminum and titanium alloys are more readily machined compared to steel. Furthermore EBM-machining does not involve cutting forces on the work pieces. This enables machining of fragile and brittle materials by EBM without any significant clamping or attaching as is the case in mechanical machining techniques. Holes can also be drilled at very shallow angles like 20 to 30 degrees. The advantages of Electron-Beam-Machining: EBM provides very high drilling rates when small holes with high aspect ratio are drilled. EBM can machine almost any material regardless of its mechanical properties. No mechanical cutting forces are involved, thus work clamping, holding and fixturing costs are ignorable, and fragile/brittle materials can be processed without problems. Heat affected zones in EBM are small because of shorte pulses. EBM is able of providing any shape of holes with accuracy by using electromagnetic coils to deflect electron beams and the CNC table. The disadvantages of Electron-Beam-Machining: Equipment is expensive and operating and maintaining vacuum systems requires specialized technicians. EBM requires significant vacuum pump down periods for attaining required low pressures. Even though heat affected zone is small in EBM, the recast layer formation occurs frequently. Our many years of experience and know-how helps us to take advantage of this valuable equipment in our manufacturing environment.

Surface Treatment and Modification - Surface Engineering - Hardening - Plasma - Laser - Ion Implantation - Electron Beam Processing at AGS-TECH Површински третмани и модификација Surfaces cover everything. The appeal and functions material surfaces provide us are of utmost importance. Therefore SURFACE TREATMENT and SURFACE MODIFICATION are among our everyday industrial operations. Surface treatment & modification leads to enhanced surface properties and can be performed either as a final finishing operation or prior to a coating or joining operation. The processes of surface treatments and modification (also referred to as SURFACE ENGINEERING), tailor the surfaces of materials and products to: - Control friction and wear - Improve corrosion resistance - Enhance adhesion of subsequent coatings or joined parts - Change physical properties conductivity, resistivity, surface energy and reflection - Change chemical properties of surfaces by introducing functional groups - Change dimensions - Change the appearance, e.g., color, roughness…etc. - Clean and / or disinfect the surfaces Using surface treatment and modification, the functions and service lives of materials can be improved. Our common surface treatment and modification methods can be divided into two major categories: Surface Treatment and Modification That Covers Surfaces: Organic Coatings: The organic coatings apply paints, cements, laminates, fused powders and lubricants on the surfaces of materials. Inorganic Coatings: Our popular inorganic coatings are electroplating, autocatalytic plating (electroless platings), conversion coatings, thermal sprays, hot dipping, hardfacing, furnace fusing, thin film coatings such as SiO2, SiN on metal, glass, ceramics,….etc. Surface treatment and modification involving coatings is explained in detail under the related submenu, please click here Functional Coatings / Decorative Coatings / Thin Film / Thick Film Surface Treatment and Modification That Alters Surfaces: Here on this page we will concentrate on these. Not all of the surface treatment and modification techniques we describe below are on the micro or nano-scale, but we will nevertheless mention about them briefly since the basic objectives and methods are similar to significant extent to those that are on the micromanufacturing scale. Hardening: Selective surface hardening by laser, flame, induction and electron beam. High Energy Treatments: Some of our high energy treatments include ion implantation, laser glazing & fusion, and electron beam treatment. Thin Diffusion Treatments: Thin diffusion processes include ferritic-nitrocarburizing, boronizing, other high temperature reaction processes such as TiC, VC. Heavy Diffusion Treatments: Our heavy diffusion processes include carburizing, nitriding, and carbonitriding. Special Surface Treatments: Special treatments such as cryogenic, magnetic, and sonic treatments affect both the surfaces and the bulk materials. The selective hardening processes can be carried out by flame, induction, electron beam, laser beam. Large substrates are deep hardened using flame hardening. Induction hardening on the other hand is used for small parts. Laser and electron beam hardening are sometimes not distinguished from those in hardfacings or high-energy treatments. These surface treatment and modification processes are applicable only to steels that have sufficient carbon and alloy content to allow quench hardening. Cast irons, carbon steels, tool steels, and alloy steels are suitable for this surface treatment and modification method. Dimensions of parts are not significantly altered by these hardening surface treatments. Depth of hardening can vary from 250 microns to the whole section depth. However, in the whole section case, the section must be thin, less than 25 mm (1 in), or small, since the hardening processes require a rapid cooling of materials, sometimes within a second. This is difficult to achieve in large workpieces, and therefore in large sections, only the surfaces can be hardened. As a popular surface treatment and modification process we harden springs, knife blades, and surgical blades among many other products. High-energy processes are relatively new surface treatment and modification methods. Properties of surfaces are changed without changing the dimensions. Our popular high-energy surface treatment processes are electron beam treatment, ion implantation, and laser beam treatment. Electron Beam Treatment: Electron beam surface treatment alters the surface properties by rapid heating and rapid cooling — in the order of 10Exp6 Centigrade/sec (10exp6 Fahrenheit/sec) in a very shallow region around 100 microns near the material surface. Electron beam treatment can also be used in hardfacing to produce surface alloys. Ion Implantation: This surface treatment and modification method uses electron beam or plasma to convert gas atoms to ions with sufficient energy, and implant/insert the ions into atomic lattice of the substrate, accelerated by magnetic coils in a vacuum chamber. Vacuum makes it easier for ions to move freely in the chamber. The mismatch between implanted ions and the surface of the metal creates atomic defects that hardens the surface. Laser Beam Treatment: Like the electron beam surface treatment and modification, laser beam treatment alters the surface properties by rapid heating and rapid cooling in a very shallow region near the surface. This surface treatment & modification method can also be used in hardfacing to produce surface alloys. A know-how in Implant dosages and treatment parameters makes it possible for us to use these high energy surface treatment techniques in our fabrication plants. Thin Diffusion Surface Treatments: Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a case hardening process that diffuses nitrogen and carbon into ferrous metals at sub-critical temperatures. The processing temperature is usually at 565 Centigrade (1049 Fahrenheit). At this temperature steels and other ferrous alloys are still in a ferritic phase, which is advantageous compared to other case hardening processes that occur in the austenitic phase. The process is used to improve: •scuffing resistance •fatigue properties •corrosion resistance Very little shape distortion occurs during the hardening process thanks to the low processing temperatures. Boronizing, is the process where boron is introduced to a metal or alloy. It is a surface hardening and modification process by which boron atoms are diffused into the surface of a metal component. As a result the surface contains metal borides, such as iron borides and nickel borides. In their pure state these borides have extremely high hardness and wear resistance. Boronized metal parts are extremely wear resistant and will often last up to five times longer than components treated with conventional heat treatments such as hardening, carburizing, nitriding, nitrocarburizing or induction hardening. Heavy Diffusion Surface Treatment and Modification: If the carbon content is low (less than 0.25% for example) then we can increase the carbon content of the surface for hardening. The part can be either heat-treated by quenching in a liquid or cooled in still air depending on the properties desired. This method will only allow local hardening on the surface, but not in the core. This is sometimes very desirable because it allows for a hard surface with good wear properties as in gears, but has a tough inner core that will perform well under impact loading. In one of the surface treatment and modification techniques, namely Carburizing we add carbon to the surface. We expose the part to a Carbon rich atmosphere at an elevated temperature and allow diffusion to transfer the Carbon atoms into the steel. Diffusion will happen only if the steel has low carbon content, because diffusion works on the differential of the concentrations principle. Pack Carburizing: Parts are packed in a high carbon medium such as carbon powder and heated in a furnace for 12 to 72 hours at 900 Centigrade (1652 Fahrenheit). At these temperatures CO gas is produced which is a strong reducing agent. The reduction reaction occurs on the surface of the steel releasing carbon. The carbon is then diffused into the surface thanks to the high temperature. The Carbon on the surface is 0.7% to 1.2% depending on process conditions. The hardness achieved is 60 - 65 RC. The depth of the carburized case ranges from about 0.1 mm up to 1.5 mm. Pack carburizing requires good control of temperature uniformity and consistency in heating. Gas Carburizing: In this variant of surface treatment, Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas is supplied to a heated furnace and the reduction reaction of deposition of carbon takes place on the surface of the parts. This process overcomes most of the problems of pack carburizing. One concern however is the safe containment of the CO gas. Liquid Carburizing: The steel parts are immersed in a molten carbon rich bath. Nitriding is a surface treatment and modification process involving diffusion of Nitrogen into the surface of steel. Nitrogen forms Nitrides with elements such as Aluminum, Chromium, and Molybdenum. The parts are heat-treated and tempered before nitriding. The parts are then cleaned and heated in a furnace in an atmosphere of dissociated Ammonia (containing N and H) for 10 to 40 hours at 500-625 Centigrade (932 - 1157 Fahrenheit). Nitrogen diffuses into the steel and forms nitride alloys. This penetrates to a depth of up to 0.65 mm. The case is very hard and distortion is low. Since the case is thin, surface grinding is not recommended and therefore nitriding surface treatment may not be an option for surfaces with very smooth finishing requirements. Carbonitriding surface treatment and modification process is most suitable for low carbon alloy steels. In the carbonitriding process, both Carbon and Nitrogen are diffused into the surface. The parts are heated in an atmosphere of a hydrocarbon (such as methane or propane) mixed with Ammonia (NH3). Simply put, the process is a mix of Carburizing and Nitriding. Carbonitriding surface treatment is performed at temperatures of 760 - 870 Centigrade (1400 - 1598 Fahrenheit), It is then quenched in a natural gas (Oxygen free) atmosphere. The carbonitriding process is not suitable for high precision parts due to the distortions that are inherent. The hardness achieved is similar to carburizing (60 - 65 RC) but not as high as Nitriding (70 RC). The case depth is between 0.1 and 0.75 mm. The case is rich in Nitrides as well as Martensite. Subsequent tempering is needed to reduce brittleness. Special surface treatment and modification processes are in the early stages of development and their effectiveness is as yet unproven. They are: Cryogenic Treatment: Generally applied on hardened steels, slowly cool down the substrate to about -166 Centigrade (-300 Fahrenheit) to increase the density of the material and thus increase the wear resistance and dimension stability. Vibration Treatment: These intend to relieve thermal stress built-up in heat treatments through vibrations and increase the wear life. Magnetic Treatment: These intend to alter the line-up of atoms in materials through magnetic fields and hopefully improve the wear life. The effectiveness of these special surface treatment and modification techniques still remains to be proven. Also these three techniques above affect the bulk material besides surfaces.

Here are the meanings of abbreviated terms related to display, touchscreen and monitor devices: LED: Light Emitting Diode LCD: Liquid Crystal Display PDP: Plasma Display Panel VFD: Vacuum Fluorescent Display OLED: Organic Light Emitting Diode ELD: Electroluminescent Display SED: Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display HMD: Head Mounted Display A significant benefit of OLED display over liquid crystal display (LCD) is that OLED does not require a backlight to function. Therefore OLED display draws far less power and, when powered from a battery, can operate longer as compared to LCD. Because there is no need for a backlight, an OLED display can be much thinner than an LCD panel. However, degradation of OLED materials has limited their use as display, touchscreen and monitor. ELD works by exciting atoms by passing an electric current through them, and causing ELD to emit photons. By varying the material being excited, the colour of the emitted light can be changed. ELD is constructed using flat, opaque electrode strips running parallel to each other, covered by a layer of electroluminescent material, followed by another layer of electrodes, running perpendicular to the bottom layer. The top layer must be transparent in order to let light go through and escape. At each intersection, the material lights, thereby creating a pixel. ELDs are sometimes used as backlights in LCDs. They are also useful for creating soft ambient light, and for low-colour, high-contrast screens. A surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) is a flat panel display technology that uses surface conduction electron emitters for each individual display pixel. The surface conduction emitter emits electrons that excite a phosphor coating on the display panel, similar to cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions. In other words, SEDs use tiny cathode ray tubes behind every single pixel instead of one tube for the whole display, and can combine the slim form factor of LCDs and plasma displays with the superior viewing angles, contrast, black levels, color definition and pixel response time of CRTs. It is also widely claimed that SEDs consume less power than LCD displays. A head-mounted display or Helmet mounted display, both abbreviated 'HMD', is a display device, worn on the head or as part of a helmet, that has a small display optic in front of one or each eye. A typical HMD has either one or two small displays with lenses and semi-transparent mirrors embedded in a helmet, eye-glasses or visor. The display units are small and may include CRT, LCDs, Liquid Crystal on Silicon, or OLED. Sometimes multiple micro-displays are deployed to increase total resolution and field of view. HMDs differ in whether they can display just a computer generated image (CGI), show live images from the real world or a combination of both. Most HMDs display only a computer-generated image, sometimes referred to as a virtual image. Some HMDs allow superimposing a CGI upon a real-world view. This is sometimes referred to as augmented reality or mixed reality. Combining real-world view with CGI can be done by projecting the CGI through a partially reflective mirror and viewing the real world directly. For partially reflective mirrors, check our page on Passive Optical Components. This method is often called Optical See-Through. Combining real-world view with CGI can also be done electronically by accepting video from a camera and mixing it electronically with CGI. This method is often called Video See-Through. Major HMD applications include military, governmental (fire, police, etc.) and civilian/commercial (medicine, video gaming, sports, etc.). Military, police and firefighters use HMDs to display tactical information such as maps or thermal imaging data while viewing the real scene. HMDs are integrated into the cockpits of modern helicopters and fighter aircraft. They are fully integrated with the pilot's flying helmet and may include protective visors, night vision devices and displays of other symbols and information. Engineers and scientists use HMDs to provide stereoscopic views of CAD (Computer Aided Design) schematics. These systems are also used in the maintenance of complex systems, as they can give a technician an effectively ''x-ray vision'' by combining computer graphics such as system diagrams and imagery with the technician's natural vision. There are also applications in surgery, wherein a combination of radiographic data (CAT scans and MRI imaging) is combined with the surgeon's natural view of the operation. Examples of lower cost HMD devices can be seen with 3D games and entertainment applications. Such systems allow 'virtual' opponents to peek from real windows as a player moves about. Other interesting developments in display, touchscreen and monitor technologies AGS-TECH is interested are: Laser TV: Laser illumination technology remained too costly to be used in commercially viable consumer products and too poor in performance to replace lamps except in some rare ultra-high-end projectors. More recently however, companies demonstrated their laser illumination source for projection displays and a prototype rear-projection ''laser TV''. The first commercial Laser TV and subsequently others have been unveiled. First audiences who were shown reference clips from popular movies reported that they were blown away by a Laser TV's hitherto unseen color-display prowess. Some people even describe it as being too intense to the point of seeming artificial. Some other future display technologies will likely include carbon nanotubes and nanocrystal displays using quantum dots to make vibrant and flexible screens.

Transmission Components, Belts, Chains and Cable Drives, Conventional & Grooved or Serrated, Positive Drive, Pulleys Ремени и синџири и склопување на кабелски погон AGS-TECH Inc. offers you power transmission components including Belts & Chains & Cable Drive Assembly. With years of refinement, our rubber, leather and other belt drives have become lighter and more compact, capable of carrying higher loads at lower cost. Similarly, our chain drives have gone through much development over time and they offer our customers several advantages. Some advantages of using chain drives are their relatively unrestricted shaft center distances, compactness, ease of assembly, elasticity in tension without slip or creep, ability to operate in high-temperature environments. Our cable drives also offer advantages such as simplicity in some applications over other types of transmission components. Both off-shelf belt, chain and cable drives as well as custom fabricated and assembled versions are available. We can manufacture these transmission components to the right size for your application and from the most suitable materials. BELTS & BELT DRIVES: - Conventional Flat Belts: These are plain flat belts without teeth, grooves or serrations. Flat belt drives offer flexibility, good shock absorption, efficient power transmission at high speeds, abrasion resistance, low cost. Belts can be spliced or connected to make larger belts. Other advantages of conventional flat belts are they are thin, they are not subject to high centrifugal loads (makes them good for high speed operations with small pulleys). On the other hand they impose high bearing loads because flat belts require high tension. Other disadvantages of flat belt drives can be slipping, noisy operation, and relatively lower efficiencies at low and moderate speeds of operation. We have two types of conventional belts: Reinforced and Non-Reinforced. Reinforced belts have a tensile member in their structure. Conventional flat belts are available as leather, rubberized fabric or cord, non-reinforced rubber or plastic, fabric, reinforced leather. Leather belts offer long life, flexibility, excellent coefficient of friction, easy repair. However leather belts are relatively expensive, need belt dressing and cleaning, and depending on the atmosphere they may shrink or stretch. Rubberized fabric or cord belts are resistant to moisture, acid and alkalis. Rubberized fabric belts are made up of plies of cotton or synthetic duck impregnated with rubber and are the most economical. Rubberized cord belts consist of a series of plies of rubber-impregnated cords. Rubberized cord belts offer high tensile strength and modest size and mass. Non-reinforced rubber or plastic belts are fit for light-duty, low-speed drive applications. Non-reinforced rubber and plastic belts can be stretched into place over their pulleys. Plastic non-reinforced belts can transmit higher power as compared to rubber belts. Reinforced leather belts consist of a plastic tensile member sandwiched between leather top and bottom layers. Finally, our fabric belts may consist of a single piece of cotton or duck folded and sewn with rows of longitudinal stitches. Fabric belts are able to track uniformly and operate at high speed. - Grooved or Serrated Belts (such as V-Belts): These are basic flat belts modified to provide the advantages of another type of transmission product. These are flat belts with a longitudinally ribbed underside. Poly-V belts are longitudinally grooved or serrated flat belt with tensile section and a series of adjacent V-shaped grooves for tracking and compression purposes. Power capacity depends on belt width. V-belt is the workhorse of industry and are available in a variety of standardized sizes and types for transmission of almost any load power. V-belt drives operate well between 1500 to 6000 ft/min, however narrow V-belts will operate up to 10,000 ft/min. V-belt drives offer long life such as 3 to 5 years and allow large speed ratios, they are easy to install and remove, offer quiet operation, low maintenance, good shock absorption between belt driver and driven shafts. V-belts disadvantage is their certain slip and creep and therefore they may not be the best solution where synchronous speeds are required. We have industrial, automotive and agricultural belts. Stocked standard lengths as well as custom lengths of belts are available. All standard V-belt cross sections are available from stock. There are tables where you can calculate unknown parameters such as belt length, belt section (width & thickness) provided you know some parameters of your system such as driving and driven pulley diameters, center distance between pulleys and rotational speeds of the pulleys. You may use such tables or ask us to choose the right V-belt for you. - Positive Drive Belts (Timing Belt): These belts are also flat type with a series of evenly spaced teeth on the inside circumference. Positive drive or timing belts combine the advantages of flat belts with the positive-grip characteristics of chains and gears. Positive drive belts reveal no slippage or speed variations. A wide range of speed ratios is possible. Bearing loads are low because they can operate at low tension. They are however more susceptible to misalignments in pulleys. - Pulleys, Sheaves, Hubs for Belts: Different types of pulleys are used with flat, ribbed (serrated) and positive drive belts. We do manufacture them all. Most of our flat belt pulleys are made by casting of iron, but steel versions are also available in various rim and hub combinations. Our flat-belt pulleys may have solid, spoked or split hubs or we can manufacture as you desire. Ribbed and positive-drive belts are available in a variety of stock sizes and widths. At least one pulley in timing-belt drives must be flanged to keep the belt on the drive. For long center drive systems, it is recommended to have both pulleys flanged. Sheaves are the grooved wheels of pulleys and are generally manufactured by iron casting, steel forming or plastic moulding. Steel forming is suitable process to manufacture automotive and agricultural sheaves. We produce sheaves with regular and deep grooves. Deep-groove sheaves are well suitable when V-belt enters the sheave at an angle, such as is the case in quarter-turn drives. Deep grooves are also well suited for vertical-shaft drives and applications where vibration of belts can be a problem. Our idler pulleys are grooved sheaves or flat pulleys that do not serve transmitting mechanical power. Idler pulleys are used mostly for tightening belts. - Single and Multiple Belt Drives: Single belt drives have a single groove whereas multiple belt drives have multiple grooves. By clicking the relevant colored text below you can download our catalogs: - Power Transmission Belts (includes V-Belts, Timing Belts, Raw Edge Belts, Wrapped Belts and Specialty Belts) - Conveyor Belts - V-Pulleys - Timing Pulleys CHAINS & CHAIN DRIVES: Our power transmission chains have some advantages such as relatively unrestricted shaft center distances, easy assembly, compactness, elasticity under tension without slip or creep, ability of operation under high temperatures. Here are the major types of our chains: - Detachable Chains: Our detachable chains are made in a range of sizes, pitch and ultimate strength and generally from malleable iron or steel. Malleable chains are made in a range of sizes from 0.902 (23 mm) to 4.063 inch (103 mm) pitch and ultimate strength from 700 to 17,000 lb/square inch. Our detachable steel chains on the other hand are made in sizes from 0.904 inch (23 mm) to about 3.00 inch (76 mm) in pitch, with ultimate strength from 760 to 5000 lb/square inch. - Pintle Chains: These chains are used for heavier loads and slightly higher speeds to about 450 feet/min (2.2 m/sec). Pintle chains are made of individual cast links having full, round barrel end with offset sidebars. These chain links are intercoupled with steel pins. These chains range in pitch from about 1.00 inch (25 mm) to 6.00 inch (150 mm) and ultimate strengths between 3600 to 30,000 lb/square inch. - Offset-Sidebar Chains: These are popular in drive chains of construction machinery. These chains work at speeds to 1000 ft/min and transmit loads to about 250 hp. Generally each link has two offset sidebars, one bushing, one roller, one pin, a cotter pin. - Roller Chains: They are available in pitches from 0.25 (6 mm) to 3.00 (75 mm) inch. The ultimate strength of single-width roller chains range between 925 to 130,000 lb/square inch. Multiple-width versions of roller chains are available and transmit greater power at higher speeds. Multiple-width roller chains also offer smoother action with reduced noise. Roller chains are assembled from roller links and pin links. Cotter pins are used in detachable version roller chains. The design of roller chain drives requires subject expertise. Whereas belt drives are based on linear speeds, chain drives are based on the rotational speed of the smaller sprocket, which is in most installations the driven member. Besides horsepower ratings and rotational speed, the design of chain drives is based on many other factors. - Double-Pitch Chains: Basically the same as roller chains except that the pitch is twice as long. - Inverted Tooth (Silent) Chains: High speed chains used mostly for prime mover, power-takeoff drives. Inverted tooth chain drives can transmit powers up to 1200 hp and are made up of a series of tooth links, alternately assembled with either pins or a combination of joint components. Center-guide chain has guide links to engage grooves in the sprocket, and the side-guide chain has guides to engage the sides of the sprocket. - Bead or Slider Chains: These chains are used for slow speed drives and also in manual operations. By clicking the relevant colored text below you can download our catalogs: - Driving Chains - Conveyor Chains - Large Pitch Conveyor Chains - Stainless Steel Roller Chains - Hoisting Chains - Motorcycle Chains - Agricultural Machine Chains - Sprockets: Our standard sprockets conform to ANSI standards. Plate sprockets are flat, hubless sprockets. Our small and medium-size hub sprockets are turned from bar stock or forgings or made by welding a bar-stock hub to a hot-rolled plate. AGS-TECH Inc. can supply sprockets machined from gray-iron castings, cast steel and welded hub constructions, sintered powder metal, molded or machined plastics. For smooth operation at high speeds, proper selection of size of sprockets is essential. Space limitations is of course a factor we cannot ignore when choosing a sprocket. It is recommended that the ratio of driver to driven sprockets should be no more than 6:1, and the chain wrap on the driver is 120 degrees. Center distances between the smaller and larger sprockets, chain lengths and chain tension must also be chosen according to some recommended engineering calculations & guidelines and not randomly. Download our catalogs by clicking colored text below: - Sprockets and Plate Wheels - Transmission Bushings - Chain Coupling - Chain Locks CABLE DRIVES: These have their advantages over belts and chain drives in some cases. Cable drives can accomplish the same function as belts and may also be simpler and more economic to implement in some applications. For example, a new series of Synchromesh Cable Drives are designed for positive traction to replace conventional ropes, simple cables and cog drives, especially in tight spaces. The new cable drive is designed to provide high precision positioning in electronic equipment such as copying machines, plotters, typewriters, printers,….. etc. A key feature of the new cable drive is its ability to be used in 3D serpentine configurations which enable extremely miniature designs. Synchromesh cables can be used with lower tension when compared with ropes thus reducing power consumption. Contact AGS-TECH for questions and opinion on belts, chain and cable drives.

Glass and Ceramic Manufacturing, Hermetic Packages Seals and Bonding, Tempered Bulletproof Glass, Blow Moulding, Optical Grade Glass, Conductive Glass, Molding Формирање и обликување на стакло и керамика The type of glass manufacturing we offer are container glass, glass blowing, glass fiber & tubing & rod, domestic and industrial glassware, lamp and bulb, precision glass moulding, optical components and assemblies, flat & sheet & float glass. We perform both hand forming as well as machine forming. Our popular technical ceramic manufacturing processes are die pressing, isostatic pressing, hot isostatic pressing, hot pressing, slip casting, tape casting, extrusion, injection moulding, green machining, sintering or firing, diamond grinding, hermetic assemblies. We recommend that you click here to DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Glass Forming and Shaping Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Technical Ceramic Manufacturing Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. These downloadable files with photos and sketches will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. • CONTAINER GLASS MANUFACTURE: We have automated PRESS AND BLOW as well as BLOW AND BLOW lines for manufacturing. In the blow and blow process we drop a gob into blank mold and form the neck by applying a blow of compressed air from top. Immediately following this, compressed air is blown a second time from the other direction through the container neck to form the pre-form of the bottle. This pre-form is then transferred to the actual mold, reheated to soften and compressed air is applied to give the pre-form its final container shape. More explicitly, it is pressurized and pushed against the walls of the blow mold cavity to take its desired shape. Finally, the manufactured glass container is transfered into an annealing oven for subsequent reheating and removal of stresses produced during the molding and is cooled in a controlled fashion. In the press and blow method, molten gobs are put into a parison mold (blank mold) and pressed into the parison shape (blank shape). The blanks are then transfered to blow molds and blown similar to the process described above under “Blow and Blow Process”. Subsequent steps like annealing and stress relieve are similar or the same. • GLASS BLOWING : We have been manufacturing glass products using conventional hand blowing as well as using compressed air with automated equipment. For some orders conventional blowing is necessary, such as projects involving glass art work, or projects that require a smaller number of parts with loose tolerances, prototyping / demo projects….etc. Conventional glass blowing involves the dipping of a hollow metal pipe into a pot of molten glass and rotating the pipe for collecting some amount of the glass material. The glass collected on the tip of the pipe is rolled on flat iron, shaped as desired, elongated, re-heated and air blown. When ready, it is inserted into a mould and air is blown. The mould cavity is wet to avoid contact of the glass with metal. The water film acts like a cushion between them. Manual blowing is a labor intensive slow process and only suitable for prototyping or items of high value, not suitable for inexpensive per piece high volume orders. • MANUFACTURING OF DOMESTIC & INDUSTRIAL GLASSWARE : Using various types of glass material a large variety of glassware is being produced. Some glasses are heat resistant and suitable for laboratory glassware whereas some are good enough for withstanding dishwashers for many times and are fit for making domestic products. Using Westlake machines tens of thousands of pieces of drinking glasses are being produced per day. To simplify, molten glass is collected by vacuum and inserted into moulds to make the pre-forms. Then air is blown into the moulds, these are transfered to another mould and air is blown again and the glass takes its final shape. Like in hand blowing, these moulds are kept wet with water. Further stretching is part of the finishing operation where the neck is being formed. Excess glass is burnt off. Thereafter the controlled re-heating and cooling process described above follows. • GLASS TUBE & ROD FORMING : The main processes we use for manufacturing of glass tubes are the DANNER and VELLO processes. In the Danner Process, glass from a furnace flows and falls on an inclined sleeve made of refractory materials. The sleeve is carried on a rotating hollow shaft or blowpipe. The glass is then wrapped around the sleeve and forms a smooth layer flowing down the sleeve and over the tip of the shaft. In the case of tube forming, air is blown through a blowpipe with hollow tip, and in the case of rod forming we use solid tips on the shaft. The tubes or rods are then drawn over carrying rollers. The dimensions like wall thickness and diameter of the glass tubes are adjusted to desired values by setting the diameter of the sleeve and blowing air pressure to a desired value, adjusting the temperature, rate of flow of glass and speed of drawing. The Vello glass tube manufacturing process on the other hand involves glass that travels out a furnace and into a bowl with a hollow mandrel or bell. The glass then goes through the air space between the mandrel and the bowl and takes the shape of a tube. Thereafter it travels over rollers to a drawing machine and is cooled. At the end of the cooling line cutting and final processing takes place. The tube dimensions can be adjusted just like in the Danner process. When comparing the Danner to Vello process, we can say that Vello process is a better fit for large quantity production whereas the Danner process may be a better fit for precise smaller volume tube orders. • PROCESSING OF SHEET & FLAT & FLOAT GLASS : We have large quantities of flat glass in thicknesses ranging from submilimeter thicknesses to several centimeters. Our flat glasses are of almost optical perfection. We offer glass with special coatings such as optical coatings, where chemical vapor deposition technique is used to put coatings such as antireflection or mirror coating. Also transparent conductive coatings are common. Also available are hydrophobic or hydrophilic coatings on glass, and coating that makes glass self-cleaning. Tempered, bulletproof and laminated glasses are yet other popular items. We cut glass into desired shape with desired tolerances. Other secondary operations such as curving or bending flat glass are available. • PRECISION GLASS MOLDING : We use this technique mostly for manufacturing precision optical components without the need for more expensive and time consuming techniques like grinding, lapping and polishing. This technique is not always sufficient for making the best of the best optics, but in some cases like consumer products, digital cameras, medical optics it can be a less expensive good option for high volume manufacturing. Also it has an advantage over the other glass forming techniques where complex geometries are required, such as in the case of aspheres. The basic process involves loading of the lower side of our mold with the glass blank, evacuation of the process chamber for oxygen removal, near closing of the mold, fast and isothermal heating of die and glass with infrared light, further closing of the mould halves to press the softened glass slowly in a controlled fashion to the desired thickness, and finally cooling of the glass and filling the chamber with nitrogen and removal of the product. Precise temperature control, mould closure distance, mould closure force, matching the coefficients of expansion of the mold and glass material are key in this process. • MANUFACTURE OF GLASS OPTICAL COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES : Besides precision glass molding, there are a number of valuable processes we use for making high quality optical components and assemblies for demanding applications. Grinding, lapping and polishing of optical grade glasses in fine special abrasive slurries is an art and science for making optical lenses, prisms, flats and more. Surface flatness, waviness, smoothness and defect free optical surfaces require lots of experience with such processes. Small changes in environment can result in out of specification products and bring the manufacturing line to a stop. There are cases where a single wipe on the optical surface with a clean cloth can make a product meet the specifications or fail the test. Some popular glass materials used are fused silica, quartz, BK7. Also the assembly of such components requires specialized niche experience. Sometimes special glues are being used. However, sometimes a technique called optical contacting is the best choice and involves no material in between attached optical glasses. It consists of physically contacting flat surfaces to attach to each other without glue. In some cases mechanical spacers, precision glass rods or balls, clamps or machined metal components are being used to assemble the optical components at certain distances and with certain geometric orientations to each other. Let us examine some of our popular techniques for manufacturing high end optics. GRINDING & LAPPING & POLISHING : The rough shape of the optical component is obtained with grinding a glass blank. Thereafter lapping and polishing are carried out by rotating and rubbing the rough surfaces of the optical components against tools with desired surface shapes. Slurries with tiny abrasive particles and fluid are being poured in between the optics and the shaping tools. The abrasive particle sizes in such slurries can be chosen according to the degree of flatness desired. The deviations of critical optical surfaces from desired shapes are expressed in terms of wavelengths of the light being used. Our high precision optics have tenth of a wavelength (Wavelength/10) tolerances or even tighter is possible. Besides surface profile, the critical surfaces are scanned and evaluated for other surface features and defects such as dimensions, scratches, chips, pits, specks...etc. The tight control of environmental conditions in the optical manufacturing floor and extensive metrology and testing requirements with state-of-the-art equipment make this a challenging branch of industry. • SECONDARY PROCESSES IN GLASS MANUFACTURING: Again, we are only limited with your imagination when it comes to secondary and finishing processes of glass. Here we list some of them: -Coatings on glass (optical, electrical, tribological, thermal, functional, mechanical...). As an example we can alter surface properties of glass making it for example reflect heat so that it keeps building interiors cool, or make one side infrared absorbing using nanotechnology. This helps keep the inside of buildings warm because the outermost surface layer of glass will absorb the infrared radiation inside the building and radiate it back to the inside. -Etching on glass -Applied Ceramic Labeling (ACL) -Engraving -Flame polishing -Chemical polishing -Staining MANUFACTURING OF TECHNICAL CERAMICS • DIE PRESSING : Consists of uniaxial compaction of granular powders confined in a die • HOT PRESSING : Similar to die pressing but with the addition of temperature to enhance densification. Powder or compacted preform is placed into graphite die and uniaxial pressure is applied while the die is kept at high temperatures such as 2000 C. Temperatures can be different depending on the type of ceramic powder being processed. For complicated shapes and geometries other subsequent processing such as diamond grinding may be needed. • ISOSTATIC PRESSING : Granular powder or die pressed compacts are placed in airtight containers and then into a closed pressure vessel with liquid inside. Thereafter they are compacted by increasing the pressure vessel’s pressure. The liquid inside the vessel transfers the pressure forces uniformly over the entire surface area of the airtight container. The material is thus compacted uniformly and takes the shape of its flexible container and its internal profile and features. • HOT ISOSTATIC PRESSING : Similar to isostatic pressing, but in addition to pressurized gas atmosphere, we sinter the compact at high temperature. Hot isostatic pressing results in additional densification and increased strength. • SLIP CASTING / DRAIN CASTING : We fill the mould with a suspension of micrometer sized ceramic particles and carrier liquid. This mixture is called “slip”. The mould has pores and therefore the liquid in the mixture is filtered into the mould. As a result, a cast is formed on the inner surfaces of the mould. After sintering, the parts can be taken out of the mould. • TAPE CASTING : We manufacture ceramic tapes by casting ceramic slurries onto flat moving carrier surfaces. The slurries contain ceramic powders mixed with other chemicals for binding and carrying purposes. As the solvents evaporate dense and flexible sheets of ceramic are left behind which can be cut or rolled as desired. • EXTRUSION FORMING : As in other extrusion processes, a soft mixture of ceramic powder with binders and other chemicals is passed through a die to acquire its cross-sectional shape and is then cut at desired lengths. The process is performed with cold or heated ceramic mixtures. • LOW PRESSURE INJECTION MOLDING : We prepare a mixture of ceramic powder with binders and solvents and heat it to a temperature where it can easily be pressed and forced into the tool cavity. Once the moulding cycle is complete, the part is ejected and the binding chemical is burned off. Using injection molding, we can obtain intricate parts at high volumes economically. Holes that are a tiny fraction of a milimeter on a 10mm thick wall are possible, threads are possible without forther machining, tolerances as tight as +/- 0.5% are possible and even lower when parts are machined, wall thicknesses in the order of 0.5mm to a length of 12.5 mm are possible as well as wall thicknesses of 6.5mm to a length of 150mm. • GREEN MACHINING : Using the same metal machining tools, we can machine pressed ceramic materials while they are still soft like chalk. Tolerances of +/- 1% are possible. For better tolerances we use diamond grinding. • SINTERING or FIRING : Sintering makes full densification possible. Significant shrinkage occurs on the green compact parts, but this is not a big problem since we take into account these dimensional changes when we design the part and tooling. Powder particles are bonded together and porosity induced by the compaction process is removed to great extent.. • DIAMOND GRINDING : The World’s hardest material “diamond” is being used to grind hard materials like ceramics and precision parts are obtained. Tolerances in the micrometer range and very smooth surfaces are being achieved. Due to its expense, we only consider this technique when we really need it. • HERMETIC ASSEMBLIES are those that practically speaking do not allow any exchange of matter, solids, liquids or gases between interfaces. Hermetic sealing is airtight. For example hermetic electronic enclosures are those that keep the sensitive interior contents of a packaged device unharmed by moisture, contaminants or gases. Nothing is 100% hermetic, but when we speak of hermeticity we mean that in practical terms, that there is hermeticity to the extent that the leak rate is so low that the devices are safe under normal environmental conditions for very long times. Our hermetic assemblies consist of metal, glass and ceramic components, metal-ceramic, ceramic-metal-ceramic, metal-ceramic-metal, metal to metal, metal-glass, metal-glass-metal, glass-metal-glass, glass-metal and glass to glass and all other combinations of metal-glass-ceramic bonding. We can for example metal coat the ceramic components so they can be strongly bonded to other components in the assembly and have excellent sealing capability. We have the know-how of coating optical fibers or feedthroughs with metal and soldering or brazing them to the enclosures, so no gases pass or leak into the enclosures. Therefore they are used for manufacturing electronic enclosures to encapsulate sensitive devices and protect them from the outer atmosphere. Besides their excellent sealing characteristics, other properties such as the thermal expansion coefficient, deformation resistance, non-outgassing nature, very long lifetime, nonconductive nature, thermal insulation properties, antistatic nature...etc. make glass and ceramic materials the choice for certain applications.

This will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. • SHEET METAL CUTTING : We offer CUTOFFS and PARTINGS. Cutoffs cut the sheet metal over one path at a time and there is basically no waste of material, whereas with partings the shape cannot be nestled precisely and therefore certain amount of material is wasted. One of our most popular processes is PUNCHING, where a piece of material round or other shape is cut out from sheet metal. The piece that is cut out is waste. Another version of punching is SLOTTING, where rectangular or elongated holes are punched. BLANKING on the other hand is the same process as punching, with the distinction of the piece being cut out is the work and is kept. FINE BLANKING, a superior version of blanking, creates cuts with close tolerances and straight smooth edges and does not require secondary operations for perfection of the workpiece. Another process we frequently use is SLITTING, which is a shearing process where sheet metal is cut by two opposing circular blades in a straight or curved path. Can opener is a simple example of the slitting process. Another popular process for us is PERFORATING, where many holes round or other shape are punched in sheet metal in a certain pattern. A typical example for a perforated product is metal filters with many holes for fluids. In NOTCHING, another sheet metal cutting process, we remove material from a work piece, starting at the edge or elsewhere and cut inward until the desired shape is obtained. It is a progressive process where each operation removes another piece until the desired contour is obtained. For small production runs we sometimes use a relatively slower process called NIBBLING which consists of many rapid punches of overlapping holes to make a larger more complex cut. In PROGRESSIVE CUTTING we use a series of different operations to obtain a single cut or a certain geometry. Finally SHAVING a secondary process helps us to improve edges of cuts that have already been made. It is used for cutting off the chips, rough edges on sheet metal work. • SHEET METAL BENDING : Besides cutting, bending is an essential process without which we would not be able to produce most products. Mostly a cold working operation but sometimes also performed when warm or hot. We use dies and press most of the time for this operation. In PROGRESSIVE BENDING we use a series of different punch and die operations to obtain a single bend or a certain geometry. AGS-TECH uses a variety of bending processes and makes the choice depending on the workpiece material, its size, thickness, desired size of bend, radius, curvature and angle of bend, location of bend, economy of operation, quantities to be manufactured…etc. We use V-BENDING where a V shaped punch forces the sheet metal into the V shaped die and bends it. Good for both very acute and obtuse angles and in between, including 90 degrees. Using wiping dies we perform EDGE BENDING. Our equipment enables us to obtain angles even larger than 90 degrees. In edge bending the workpiece is sandwiched between a pressure pad and the die, the area for bending is located on the die edge and the rest of the workpiece is held over space like a cantilever beam. When the punch acts on the cantilever portion, it is bent over the edge of the die. FLANGING is an edge bending process resulting in a 90 degree angle. Main goals of the operation are the elimination of sharp edges and obtaining geometric surfaces to ease the joining of parts. BEADING, another common edge bending process forms a curl over a part’s edge. HEMMING on the other hand results with an edge of the sheet that is bent completely over on itself. In SEAMING, the edges of two parts are bent over on each other and joined. DOUBLE SEAMING on the other hand provides watertight and airtight sheet metal joints. Similar to edge bending, a process called ROTARY BENDING deploys a cylinder with the desired angle cut out and serving as the punch. As the force is transmitted to the punch, it closes with the workpiece. The groove of the cylinder gives the cantilever portion the desired angle. The groove can have an angle smaller or larger than 90 degrees. In AIR BENDING, we do not need the lower die to have an angled groove. The sheet metal is supported by two surfaces on opposite sides and at a certain distance. The punch then applies a force at the right location and bends the workpiece. CHANNEL BENDING is performed using a channel shaped punch and die, and U-BEND is achieved with a U-shaped punch. OFFSET BENDING produces offsets on the sheet metal. ROLL BENDING, a technique good for thick work and bending of large pieces of metal plates, uses three rolls to feed and bend the plates to desired curvatures. Rolls are arranged so that the desired bend of the work is obtained. The distance and angle between the rolls is controlled to obtain the desired outcome. A moveable roll makes it possible to control the curvature. TUBE FORMING is another popular sheet metal bending operation involving multiple dies. Tubes are obtained after multiple actions. CORRUGATION is also performed by bending operations. Basically it is the symmetrical bending at regular intervals across an entire piece of sheet metal. Various shapes can be used for corrugating. Corrugated sheet metal is more rigid and has better resistance against bending and therefore has applications in the construction industry. SHEET METAL ROLL FORMING, a continuous manufacturing process is deployed to bend cross sections of a certain geometry using rolls and the work is bent in sequential steps, with the final roll completing the work. In some cases a single roll and in some cases a series of rolls are employed. • COMBINED SHEET METAL CUTTING & BENDING PROCESSES : These are the processes that cut and bend at the same time. In PIERCING, a hole is createdusing a pointed punch. As the punchwidens the hole in the sheet, the material is bent simultaneously into an internal flange for the hole. The flange obtained may have important functions. The LANCING operation on the other hand cuts and bends the sheet to create a raised geometry. • METAL TUBE BULGING AND BENDING : In BULGING some internal part of a hollow tube is pressurized, causing the tube to bulge outward. Since the tube is inside a die, the bulge geometry is controlled by the shape of the die. In STRETCH BENDING, a metal tube is stretched using forces parallel to the tube’s axis and bending forces to pull the tube over a form block. In DRAW BENDING, we clamp the tube near its end to a rotating form block that bends the tube while rotating. Lastly, in COMPRESSION BENDING the tube is held by force to a fixed form block, and a die bends it over the form block. • DEEP DRAWING : In one of our most popular operations, a punch, a matching die and a blank holder are used. The sheet metal blank is placed over the die opening and the punch moves towards the blank held by the blank holder. Once they come into contact, the punch forces the sheet metal into the die cavity to form the product. Deep drawing operation resembles cutting, however the clearance between the punch and die prevents the sheet from being cut. Another factor assuring the sheet is deep drawn and not cut are the rounded corners on the die and punch which prevents the shearing and cutting. To achieve a greater magnitude of deep drawing, a REDRAWING process is being deployed where a subsequent deep drawing takes place on a part that has already undergone a deep drawing process. In REVERSE REDRAWING, the deep drawn part is flipped over and drawn in the opposite direction. Deep drawing can provide irregular shaped objects such as domed, tapered or stepped cups, In EMBOSSING we use a male and female die pair to impress the sheet metal with a design or script. • SPINNING : An operation where a flat or preformed workpiece is held between a rotating mandrel and tail stock and a tool applies localized pressure to the work as it gradually moves up the mandrel. As a result, the workpiece is wrapped over the mandrel and takes its shape. We use this technique as an alternative to deep drawing where the quantity of an order is small, the parts are large (diameters up to 20 feet) and have unique curves. Even though the per piece prices are generally higher, the set-up costs for CNC spinning operation are low compared to deep drawing. To the contrary, deep drawing requires high initial investment for set-up, but the per piece costs are low when high quantity of parts are produced. Another version of this process is SHEAR SPINNING, where there is also metal flow within the workpiece. The metal flow will reduce the thickness of the workpiece as the process is carried out. Yet another related process is TUBE SPINNING, which is applied on cylindirical parts. Also in this process there is metal flow within the workpiece. The thickness is thus reduced and the tube’s length is increased. The tool can be moved to create features on the inside or outside of the tube. • RUBBER FORMING OF SHEET METAL : Rubber or polyurethane material is put in a container die and the work piece is placed on the surface of the rubber. A punch is then acted upon the work piece and forces it into the rubber. Since the pressure generated by the rubber is low, the depth of parts produced is limited. Since tooling costs are low, the process is suitable for low quantity production. • HYDROFORMING : Similar to rubber forming, in this process sheet metal work is pressed by a punch into a pressurized liquid inside a chamber. The sheet metal work is sandwiched between the punch and a rubber diaphragm. The diaphragm surrounds the workpiece completely and the pressure of the fluid forces it to form on the punch. Very deep draws even deeper than in the deep drawing process can be obtained with this technique. We manufacture single-punch dies as well as progessive dies depending on your part. Single stroke stamping dies are a cost effective method for producing large quantities of simple sheet metal parts such as washers quickly. Progressive dies or the deep drawing technique are used for manufacturing more complex geometries. Depending on your case, waterjet, laser or plasma cutting can be used to produce your sheet metal parts inexpensively, fast and accurately. Many suppliers have no idea about these alternative techniques or do not have it and therefore they go through lengthy and expensive ways of making dies and tools that only waste customers time and money. If you require custom built sheet metal components such as enclosures, electronic housings...etc as fast as within days, then contact us for our RAPID SHEET METAL PROTOTYPING service.

AGS-TECH Inc. - We are Experts in Custom Manufacturing, Engineering Integration, Value Added Logistics, Shipping, Warehousing, Just-In-Time Manufacturing..more Логистика и испорака и складирање и испорака навреме во AGS-TECH Inc. Just-In-Time (JIT) shipment is without doubt the preferred and least expensive, most efficient option. Details of this shipping option can be found on our page for Computer Integrated Manufacturing at AGS-TECH Inc. However some of our customers do need warehousing or other types of logistics services. We are able to offer you whatever logistics, shipping and warehousing service you need. In case you have a preferred shipping forwarder or an account with UPS, FEDEX, DHL or TNT we can use it too. Let us summarize our logistics, shipping, warehousing and just-in-time (JIT) services: JUST-IN-TIME (JIT) SHIPMENT: As an option, we do provide Just-In-Time (JIT) shipment to our customers. Please note that this is only an option we do offer you in case you want or need it. Computer integrated JIT eliminates waste of materials, machines, capital, manpower and inventory throughout the manufacturing system. In our computer integrated JIT we produce parts to order while matching production with demand. No stockpiles are kept, and no effort retrieving them from storage. Parts are inspected in real time as they are being manufactured and are used almost immediately. This enables continuous control and immediate identification of defective parts or process variations. Just-in-time shipment eliminates undesirably high inventory levels that mask quality and production problems. Just-in-time shipment offers our customers the option of eliminating the need for warehousing and its associated costs. Computer integrated JIT shipment results in high-quality parts and products at lower cost. WAREHOUSING: Under some circumstances, warehousing can be considered to be the best option. For example some blanket orders are more easily manufactured at one time, warehoused / stocked and then shipped to customer at predetermined dates. AGS-TECH Inc. has a network of warehouses with environmental control at strategic locations throughout the World and can minimize your logistics and shipping costs. Some components have long shelf-lives and are better manufactured at one time and warehoused. For example, some special components or assemblies cannot tolerate the smallest differences from lot-to-lot, so they are produced all at once and warehoused. Or some products that have very high machine set-up costs may need to be manufactured all at once and stocked to avoid multiple expensive machine set ups and adjustments. Always feel free to ask AGS-TECH Inc. for opinion and we will gladly provide you our feedback about the best logistics for you. AIR FREIGHT: For orders that need fast shipment, standard air shipping as well as shipment by one of the couriers such as UPS, FEDEX, DHL or TNT are popular. Standard air shipment is offered by post office such as the USPS in the United States and costs much less than the others. However USPS can take up to 10 days to ship depending on global location. Another disadvantage of USPS shipment is that at some locations and some countries, recipient may need to go and pick up the goods from the post office when they arrive. On the other hand UPS, FEDEX, DHL and TNT are more expensive but shipment is either overnight or within a few days (generally less than 5 days) to almost any location on earth. Shipment by these couriers is also easier as they handle most of the customs work as well and bring the goods to your door. These courier services even pick up the goods or samples from the address given to them so clients do not have to drive to their nearest offices. Some of our customers have an account with one of these shipping companies and provide us their account number. Then we ship their products using their account on collect basis. On the other hand some of our customers do not have an account or do prefer us to use our account. In that case we inform our customer about the shipping fee and add it to their invoice. Using our UPS or FEDEX shipping account generally saves our customers cash as we have special global rates based on our high daily shipment volumes. SEA FREIGHT: This shipment method is best suitable for heavy and large volume loads. For a partial container load from China all the way to a US port, the cost associated may be as low as a couple hundred dollars. If you live close to the arrival port of the shipment, it is easy for us to bring it to your door. However if you live far away inland, there will be additional shipping fees for inland shipment. Either way, sea shipment is inexpensive. The disadvantage of sea shipment is however that it takes more time, generally about 30 days from China to your door. This longer shipment time is partly due to waiting times at ports, loading and unloading, customs clearance. Some of our customer ask us to quote them the sea freight while others have their own shipping forwarder. When you ask us to handle the shipment we get quotes from our preferred carriers and let you know the best rates. You can then make your decision. GROUND FREIGHT: As the name implies this is the type of shipment on land by mainly trucks and trains. Many times when a customer’s shipment arrives at a seaport, it needs further transportation to final destination. The inland portion is generally done by ground freight, because it is more economical that air shipping. Also, shipping within continental US is often by ground freight that delivers the products by train or truck from one of our warehouses to customer’s door. Our customers tell us how quickly they need the products and we inform them about the various shipment options, number of days each option takes along with shipping fees. PARTIAL AIR / PARTIAL SEA FREIGHT SHIPMENT: This is a smart option we have been using in case our customer needs some components very fast while waiting for the larger portion of their shipment to be shipped by sea freight. Shipping the larger portion by sea freight saves our customer cash while he gets a smaller portion of the shipment by air via air freight or one of UPS, FEDEX, DHL or TNT quickly. This way, our customer has enough parts in stock to work with while waiting for his sea freight to arrive. PARTIAL AIR / PARTIAL GROUND FREIGHT SHIPMENT: Similar to partial air / partial sea freight shipment, this is a smart option in case you need some components or products quickly while waiting for the larger portion of the shipment to be shipped by ground freight. Shipping the larger portion by ground freight saves you cash while you get a smaller portion of the shipment by air via air freight or one of UPS, FEDEX, DHL or TNT quickly. This way, you have enough parts in stock to work with while waiting for your ground freight to arrive. DROP SHIPPING: This is an arrangement between a business and the manufacturer or distributor of a product the business wishes to sell in which the manufacturer or distributor, and not the business, ships the product to the business's customers. As a logistics service we offer drop shipment. After manufacturing, we can package, label and mark your products as you wish with your logo, brand name…etc. and ship directly to your customer. This can save you on shipping cost, because you will not need to receive, repackage and reship. Drop shipping also eliminates your inventory costs. CUSTOMS CLEARANCE: Some of our customers do have their own broker to clear shipped goods through customs. However, many customers prefer us to handle this task. Either way is acceptable. Just let us know how you want your shipment to be handled at the port of entry and we will take care of you. We have many years of experience with the customs procedures and have brokers we can refer you to. For most unfinished products or components such as metal castings, machined parts, metal stampings and injection molded components, import fees are minimal or none in most developed countries such as the US. There are legal ways to reduce or eliminate import duties by properly assigning the HS code to the products in your shipment. We are here to assist you and reduce your shipping and customs fees. CONSOLIDATION / ASSEMBLY / KITTING / PACKAGING / LABELING: These are valuable logistics services AGS-TECH Inc. provides. Some products have several different types of components that must be manufactured at different plants. These components need to be assembled together. The assembly may take place at customer’s place, or if desired, we can assemble the finished product, package, put it together into kits, label, perform quality control and ship as desired. This is a good option of logistics for customers that do have limited space and resources. These additional services added will very likely be less expensive than shipping the components from multiple locations to you, because unless you have the resources, tools and space, it will take you more time and more shipment fees to send to third parties back and forth for packaging, labeling…etc. We can them either ship the finished and packaged products to you or you can take advantage of our warehousing and drop shipping services. However, sometimes our customers ask us to ship them all the components of their kits and they only need to assemble, open up their printed and folded carton packages, label and ship to their customers a finished product. In this case they source all these components from us including custom printed boxes, labels, packaging materials….etc. This can be justified in some cases as we can fold and fit unassembled boxes and labels and materials into a smaller and denser package and save you on overall shipping cost. Once again, we do take care of our customer's international shipments and customs work in case you want us to do this. For those who are interested in knowing some of the most basic terms related to international shipment, we have a brochure you can download by clicking here. ПРЕТХОДНА СТРАНИЦА

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) at AGS-TECH Inc. We offer Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Holonic Lean Manufacturing Компјутерски интегрирано производство во AGS-TECH Inc Our COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (CIM) SYSTEMS interlink the functions of product design, research and development, production, assembly, inspection, quality control and others. AGS-TECH’s computer integrated manufacturing activities include: - COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) and ENGINEERING (CAE) - COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAM) - COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING (CAPP) - COMPUTER SIMULATION of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES and SYSTEMS - GROUP TECHNOLOGY - CELLULAR MANUFACTURING - FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS (FMS) - HOLONIC MANUFACTURING - JUST-IN-TIME PRODUCTION (JIT) - LEAN MANUFACTURING - EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) and ENGINEERING (CAE): We use computers to create design drawings and geometric models of products. Our powerful software like CATIA enables us to conduct engineering analysis to identify potential problems such as interference at mating surfaces during assembly. Other information such as materials, specifications, manufacturing instructions…etc. are also stored in the CAD database. Our customers can submit us their CAD drawings in any of the popular formats used in the industry, such as DFX, STL, IGES, STEP, PDES. Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) on the other hand simplifies the creation of our database and allows various applications to share the information in the database. These shared applications include valuable information from finite-element analysis of stresses and deflections, temperature distribution in structures, NC data to name a few. After geometric modeling, the design is subjected to engineering analysis. This may consist of tasks such as analyzing stresses and strains, vibrations, deflections, heat transfer, distribution of temperature and dimensional tolerances. We use special software for these tasks. Prior to production, we may sometimes conduct experiments and measurements to verify the actual effects of loads, temperature and other factors on the component samples. Again, we do use special software packages with animation capabilities to identify potential problems with moving components in dynamic situations. This capability makes it possible to review and evaluate our designs in an effort to precisely dimension the parts and set appropriate production tolerances. Detail and working drawings are also produced with the help of these software tools we use. The database management systems which are built into our CAD systems allow our designers to identify, view and access parts from a library of stock parts. We must emphasize that CAD and CAE are two essential elements of our computer integrated manufacturing system. COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAM): Without doubt, another essential element of our computer integrated manufacturing system is CAM which reduces cost and increases productivity. This involves all phases of manufacturing where we use computer technology and enhanced CATIA, including process and production planning, scheduling, manufacture, QC and management. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing are combined into CAD/CAM systems. This allows us to transfer information from the design stage to planning stage for the product manufacture without the need to manually reenter the data on part geometry. The database developed by CAD is further processed by CAM into the necessary data and instructions for operating and controlling production machinery, automated testing and inspection of products. CAD/CAM system allows us to display and visually check tool paths for possible tool collisions with fixtures and clamps in operations such as machining. Then, if needed, the tool path can be modified by the operator. Our CAD/CAM system is also capable of coding and classifying parts into groups that have similar shapes. COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING (CAPP): Process planning involves the selection of production methods, tooling, fixturing, machinery, operations sequence, standard processing times for individual operations and assembly methods. With our CAPP system we view the total operation as an integrated system with individual operations being coordinated with each other to produce the part. In our computer integrated manufacturing system, CAPP is an essential adjunct to CAD/CAM. It is vital for efficient planning and scheduling. The process-planning capabilities of computers can be integrated into the planning and control of production systems as a subsystem of computer-integrated manufacturing. These activities enable us capacity planning, control of inventory, purchasing and production scheduling. As part of our CAPP we have computer-based ERP system for effective planning and control of all the resources needed to take orders for products, produce them, ship them to the customers, service them, do the accounting and billing. Our ERP system is not only to the benefit of our corporation, but indirectly also to the benefit of our customers. COMPUTER SIMULATION of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES and SYSTEMS: We use finite-element analysis (FEA) for process simulations of specific manufacturing operations as well as for multiple processes and their interactions. Process viability is routinely studied using this tool. An example is assessing the formability and behavior of sheet metal in pressworking operation, process optimization by analyzing the metal-flow pattern in forging a blank and identifying potential defects. Yet another example application of FEA would be to improve mold design in casting operation to reduce and eliminate hot spots and minimize defects by achieving uniform cooling. Entire integrated manufacturing systems are also simulated to organize plant machinery, achieve better scheduling and routing. Optimizing the sequence of operations and organization of machinery helps us effectively reduce manufacturing costs in our computer integrated production environments. GROUP TECHNOLOGY: The group technology concept seeks to take advantage of the design and processing similarities among the parts to be produced. It is a valuable concept in our computer integrated lean manufacturing system. Many parts have similarities in their shape and method of manufacture. For example all shafts can be categorized into one family of parts. Similarly, all seals or flanges can be categorized into the same families of parts. Group technology helps us in economically manufacturing an ever-larger variety of products, each in smaller quantities as batch production. In other words, group technology is our key for inexpensive manufacturing of small quantity orders. In our cellular manufacturing, machines are arranged in an integrated efficient product flow line, named “group layout”. The manufacturing cell layout depends on the common features in parts. In our group technology system parts are identified and grouped into families by our computer controlled classification and coding system. This identification and grouping is done according to parts design and manufacturing attributes. Our advanced computer integrated decision-tree coding / hybrid coding combines both design and manufacturing attributes. Implementing group technology as part of our computer integrated manufacturing helps AGS-TECH Inc. by: -Making possible the standardization of part designs / minimization of design duplications. Our product designers can easily determine whether data on a similar part already exists in the computer database. New part designs can be developed using already existing similar designs, thereby saving on design costs. -Making data from our designers and planners stored in the computer integrated database available to less experienced personnel. -Enabling statistics on materials, processes, number of produced parts….etc. easy to be used to estimate manufacturing costs of similar parts and products. -Allowing efficient standardization and scheduling of process plans, grouping of orders for efficient production, better machine utilization, reducing setup times, facilitating the sharing of similar tools, fixtures and machines in the production of a family of parts, increasing overall quality in our computer integrated manufacturing facilities. -Improving productivity and reducing costs especially in small-batch production where it is needed the most. CELLULAR MANUFACTURING: Manufacturing cells are small units consisting of one or more computer integrated workstations. A workstation contains either one or several machines, each of which performs a different operation on the part. Manufacturing cells are effective in producing families of parts for which there is a relatively constant demand. Machine tools used in our manufacturing cells are generally lathes, milling machines, drills, grinders, machining centers, EDM, injection molding machines…etc. Automation is implemented in our computer integrated manufacturing cells, with automated loading/unloading of blanks and workpieces, automated changing of tools and dies, automated transfer of tools, dies and workpieces between workstations, automated scheduling and control of operations in the manufacturing cell. In addition, automated inspection and testing takes place in the cells. Computer integrated cellular manufacturing offers us reduced work in progress and economic savings, improved productivity, ability to detect quality issues right away without delay among other benefits. We also deploy computer integrated flexible manufacturing cells with CNC machines, machining centers and industrial robots. The flexibility of our manufacturing operations offers us the advantage of adapting to rapid changes in market demand and manufacturing more product variety in smaller quantities. We are able to process very different parts quickly in sequence. Our computer integrated cells can manufacture parts in batch sizes of 1 pc at a time with negligible delay between parts. These very short delays in between are for downloading new machining instructions. We have achieved building unattended computer integrated cells (unmanned) for economically manufacturing your small orders. FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS (FMS): Major elements of manufacturing are integrated into a highly automated system. Our FMS consist of a number of cells each containing an industrial robot that serves several CNC machines and an automated material-handling system, all interfaced with a central computer. Specific computer instructions for the manufacturing process can be downloaded for each successive part that passes through a workstation. Our computer integrated FMS systems can handle a variety of part configurations and produce them in any order. Furthermore the time required for changeover to a different part is very short and therefore we can respond very quickly to product and market-demand variations. Our computer controlled FMS systems carry out machining and assembly operations involving CNC machining, grinding, cutting, forming, powder metallurgy, forging, sheet metal forming, heat treatments, finishing, cleaning, part inspection. Material handling is controlled by central computer and carried out by automated guided vehicles, conveyors or other transfer mechanisms depending on production. Transportation of raw materials, blanks and parts in various stages of completion can be made to any machine, in any order at any time. Dynamic process planning and scheduling takes place, capable of responding to quick changes in product type. Our computer integrated dynamic scheduling system specifies the types of operations to be performed on each part and identifies the machines to be used. In our computer integrated FMS systems no setup time is wasted when switching between manufacturing operations. Different operations can be carried out in different orders and on different machines. HOLONIC MANUFACTURING: Components in our holonic manufacturing system are independent entities while being a subservient part of a hierarchical & computer integrated organization. In other words they are part of a “Whole”. Our manufacturing holons are autonomous and cooperative building blocks of a computer integrated manufacturing system for production, storage, and transfer of objects or information. Our computer integrated holarchies can be created and dissolved dynamically, depending on the current needs of the particular manufacturing operation. Our computer integrated manufacturing environment enables maximum flexibility through providing intelligence within holons to support all production and control functions required to complete production tasks and manage the equipment and systems. The computer integrated manufacturing system reconfigures into operational hierarchies to optimally produce products with holons being added or removed as needed. AGS-TECH factories consist of a number of resource holons available as separate entities in a resource pool. Examples are CNC milling machine and operator, CNC grinder and operator, CNC lathe and operator. When we receive a purchase order, an order holon is formed which starts to communicate and negotiate with our available resource holons. As an example, a work order may require the use of a CNC lathe, CNC grinder and an automated inspection station to organize them into a production holon. Production bottlenecks are identified and eliminated through computer integrated communication and negotiation between holons in the resource pool. JUST-IN-TIME PRODUCTION (JIT): As an option, we do provide Just-In-Time (JIT) production to our customers. Again, this is only an option we do offer to you in case you want or need it. Computer integrated JIT eliminates waste of materials, machines, capital, manpower and inventory throughout the manufacturing system. Our computer integrated JIT production involves: -Receiving supplies just in time to be used -Producing parts just in time to be turned into subassemblies -Producing subassemblies just in time to be assembled into finished products -Production and delivery of finished products just in time to be sold In our computer integrated JIT we produce parts to order while matching production with demand. There are no stockpiles, and no extra motions retrieving them from storage. In addition, parts are inspected in real time as they are being manufactured and are used within a short time period. This enables us to maintain control continuously and immediately to identify defective parts or process variations. Computer integrated JIT eliminates undesirable high inventory levels which can mask quality and production problems. All operations and resources that do not add value are eliminated. Our computer integrated JIT production offers our customers the option of eliminating the need to rent large warehouses and storage facilities. Computer integrated JIT results in high-quality parts and products at low cost. As part of our JIT system, we do use computer integrated KANBAN bar-coding system for production and conveyance of parts and components. On the other hand, JIT production may lead to higher production costs and higher per piece prices for our products. LEAN MANUFACTURING: This involves our systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste and non-value added activities in every area of manufacturing through continuous improvement, and emphasizing product flow in a pull system rather than a push system. We continuously review all our activities from the viewpoint of our customers and optimize processes to maximize added value. Our computer integrated lean manufacturing activities include elimination or minimization of inventory, minimization of waiting times, maximization of our workers efficiency, elimination of unnecessary processes, minimization of product transportation and elimination of defects. EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION NETWORKS: For high level coordination and efficiency of operation in our computer integrated manufacturing we have an extensive, interactive high-speed communications network. We deploy LAN, WAN, WLAN and PANs for effective computer integrated communication between personnel, machines and buildings. Different networks are linked or integrated through gateways and bridges using secure file transfer protocols (FTP). ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS: This relatively new area of computer science finds applications to some degree in our computer integrated manufacturing systems. We take advantage of expert systems, computer machine vision and artificial neural networks. Expert systems are used in our computer-aided design, process planning and production scheduling. In our systems incorporating machine vision, computers and software are combined with cameras and optical sensors to perform operations like inspection, identification, sorting of parts and guiding robots.
