Micromanufacturing, Nanomanufacturing, Mesomanufacturing - Electronic & Magnetic Optical & Coatings, Thin Film, Nanotubes, MEMS, Microscale Fabrication Nanoscale & Microscale & Mesoscale Manufacturing Read More Our NANOMANUFACTURING, MICROMANUFACTURING and MESOMANUFACTURING processes can be categorized as: Surface Treatments and Modification Functional Coatings / Decorative Coatings / Thin Film / Thick Film Nanoscale Manufacturing / Nanomanufacturing Microscale Manufacturing / Micromanufacturing / Micromachining Mesoscale Manufacturing / Mesomanufacturing Microelectronics & Semiconductor Manufacturing and Fabrication Microfluidic Devices Manufacturing Micro-Optics Manufacturing Micro Assembly and Packaging Soft Lithography In every smart product designed today, one can consider an element that will increase efficiency, versatility, reduce power consumption, reduce waste, increase lifetime of the product and thus be environmentally friendly. For this purpose, AGS-TECH is focusing on a number of processes and products that can be incorporated into devices and equipment to achieve these goals. For example low-friction FUNCTIONAL COATINGS can reduce power consumption. Some other functional coating examples are scratch resistant coatings, anti-wetting SURFACE TREATMENTS and coatings (hydrophobic), wetness promoting (hydrophilic) surface treatment and coatings, anti-fungal coatings, diamond like carbon coatings for cutting and scribing tools, THIN FILMelectronic coatings, thin film magnetic coatings, multilayer optical coatings. In NANOMANUFACTURING or NANOSCALE MANUFACTURING, we produce parts at nanometer length scales. In practice it refers to manufacturing operations below micrometer scale. Nanomanufacturing is still in its infancy when compared to micromanufacturing, however the trend is in that direction and nanomanufacturing is definitely very important for the near future. Some applications of nanomanufacturing today are carbon nanotubes as reinforcing fibers for composite materials in bicycle frames, baseball bats and tennis racquets. Carbon nanotubes, depending on the orientation of the graphite in the nanotube, can act as semiconductors or conductors. Carbon nanotubes have very high current-carrying capability, 1000 times higher than silver or copper. Another application of nanomanufacturing is nanophase ceramics. By using nanoparticles in producing ceramic materials, we can simultaneously increase both the strength and ductility of the ceramic. Please click on the submenu for more information. MICROSCALE MANUFACTURING or MICROMANUFACTURING refers to our manufacturing and fabrication processes on a microscopic scale not visible to the naked eye. The terms micromanufacturing, microelectronics, microelectromechanical systems are not limited to such small length scales, but instead, suggest a material and manufacturing strategy. In our micromanufacturing operations some popular techniques we use are lithography, wet and dry etching, thin film coating. A wide variety of sensors & actuators, probes, magnetic hard-drive heads, microelectronic chips, MEMS devices such as accelerometers and pressure sensors among others are manufactured using such micromanufacturing methods. You will find more detailed information on these in the submenus. MESOSCALE MANUFACTURING or MESOMANUFACTURING refers to our processes for fabrication of miniature devices such as hearing aids, medical stents, medical valves, mechanical watches and extremely small motors. Mesoscale manufacturing overlaps both macro and micromanufacturing. Miniature lathes, with 1.5 Watt motor and dimensions of 32 x 25 x 30.5 mm and weights of 100 grams have been fabricated using mesoscale manufacturing methods. Using such lathes, brass has been machined to a diameter as small as 60 microns and surface roughnesses in the order of a micron or two. Other such miniature machine tools such as milling machines and presses have also been manufactured using mesomanufacturing. In MICROELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING we use the same techniques as in micromanufacturing. Our most popular substrates are silicon, and others like gallium arsenide, Indium Phosphide and Germanium are also used. Films/coatings of many types and especially conducting and insulating thin film coatings are used in the fabrication of microelectronic devices and circuits. These devices are usually obtained from multilayers. Insulating layers are generally obtained by oxidation such as SiO2. Dopants (both p and n) type are common and parts of the devices are doped in order to alter their electronic properties and obtain p and n type regions. Using lithography such as ultraviolet, deep or extreme ultraviolet photolithography, or X-ray, electron beam lithography we transfer geometric patterns defining the devices from a photomask/mask to the substrate surfaces. These lithography processes are applied several times in the micromanufacturing of microelectronic chips in order to achieve the required structures in the design. Also etching processes are carried out by which entire films or particular sections of films or substrate are removed. Briefly, by using various deposition, etching and multiple lithographic steps we obtain the multilayer structures on the supporting semiconductor substrates. After the wafers are processed and many circuits are microfabricated on them, the repetitive parts are cut and individual dies are obtained. Each die is thereafter wire bonded, packaged and tested and becomes a commercial microelectronic product. Some more details of microelectronics manufacturing can be found in our submenu, however the subject is very extensive and therefore we encourgae you to contact us in case you need product specific information or more details. Our MICROFLUIDICS MANUFACTURING operations are aimed at fabrication of devices and systems in which small volumes of fluids are handled. Examples of microfluidic devices are micro-propulsion devices, lab-on-a-chip systems, micro-thermal devices, inkjet printheads and more. In microfluidics we have to deal with the precise control and manipulation of fluids constrained to sub-milimeter regions. Fluids are moved, mixed, separated and processed. In microfluidic systems fluids are moved and controlled either actively using tiny micropumps and microvalves and the like or passively taking advantage of capillary forces. With lab-on-a-chip systems, processes which are normally carried out in a lab are miniaturized on a single chip in order to enhance efficiency and mobility as well as reduce sample and reagent volumes. We have the capability to design microfluidic devices for you and offer microfluidics prototyping & micromanufacturing custom tailored for your applications. Another promising field in microfabrication is MICRO-OPTICS MANUFACTURING. Micro-optics allows the manipulation of light and the management of photons with micron and sub-micron scale structures and components. Micro-optics allows us to interface the macroscopic world we live in with the microscopic world of opto- and nano-electronic data processing. Micro-optical components and subsystems find widespread applications in the following fields: Information technology: In micro-displays, micro-projectors, optical data storage, micro-cameras, scanners, printers, copiers…etc. Biomedicine: Minimally-invasive/point of care diagnostics, treatment monitoring, micro-imaging sensors, retinal implants. Lighting: Systems based on LEDs and other efficient light sources Safety and Security Systems: Infrared night vision systems for automotive applications, optical fingerprint sensors, retinal scanners. Optical Communication & Telecommunication: In photonic switches, passive fiber optic components, optical amplifiers, mainframe and personal computer interconnect systems Smart structures: In optical fiber-based sensing systems and much more As the most diverse engineering integration provider we pride ourselves with our capability to provide a solution for almost any consulting, engineering, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, product development, manufacturing, fabrication and assembly needs. After micromanufacturing our components, very often we need to continue with MICRO ASSEMBLY & PACKAGING. This involves processes such as die attachment, wire bonding, connectorization, hermetic sealing of packages, probing, testing of packaged products for environmental reliability…etc. After micromanufacturing devices on a die, we attach the die to a more rugged foundation to ensure reliability. Frequently we use special epoxy cements or eutectic alloys to bond the die to its package. After the chip or die is bonded to its substrate, we connect it electrically to the package leads using wire bonding. One method is to use very thin gold wires from the package leads to bonding pads located around the perimeter of the die. Lastly we need to do the final packaging of the connected circuit. Depending on the application and operating environment, a variety of standard and custom manufactured packages are available for micromanufactured electronic, electro-optic, and microelectromechanical devices. Another micromanufacturing technique we use is SOFT LITHOGRAPHY, a term used for a number of processes for pattern transfer. A master mold is needed in all cases and is microfabricated using standard lithography methods. Using the master mold, we produce an elastomeric pattern / stamp. One variation of soft lithography is “microcontact printing”. The elastomer stamp is coated with an ink and pressed against a surface. The pattern peaks contact the surface and a thin layer of about 1 monolayer of the ink is transfered. This thin film monolayer acts as the mask for selective wet etching. A second variation is “microtransfer molding”, in which the recesses of the elastomer mold are filled with liquid polymer precursor and pushed against a surface. Once the polymer cures, we peel off the mold, leaving behind the desired pattern. Lastly a third variation is “micromolding in capillaries”, where the elastomer stamp pattern consists of channels that use capillary forces to wick a liquid polymer into the stamp from its side. Basically, a small amount of the liquid polymer is placed adjacent to the capillary channels and the capillary forces pull the liquid into the channels. Excess liquid polymer is removed and polymer inside the channels is allowed to cure. The stamp mold is peeled off and the product is ready.

AGS-TECH Inc. Quoting Process for Custom Manufactured Components, Subassemblies, Assemblies and Products How we Quote Projects ? Quoting Custom Manufactured Components, Assemblies and Products Quoting off-shelf products is simple. However, more than half of the enquiries we receive are manufacturing requests for non-standard components, assemblies and products. These are categorized as CUSTOM MANUFACTURING PROJECTS. We receive from our existing as well as new potential customers RFQs (Request for Quote) and RFPs (Request for Proposals) for new projects, parts, assemblies and products on a continuous daily basis. Having to deal with out-of-the-ordinary manufacturing requests for many years, we have developed an efficient, fast, accurate quotation process that covers a wide spectrum of technologies. AGS-TECH Inc. is the World’s MOST DIVERSE ENGINEERING INTEGRATOR. The most outstanding advantage we offer you is being a one-stop source for all your manufacturing, fabrication, engineering, integration needs. QUOTING PROCESS at AGS-TECH Inc: Let us provide you some basic information about our quoting process for custom manufactured components, assemblies and products, so that when you send us RFQ and RFPs, you will better know what we need to know to provide you the most accurate quotes. Please keep in mind that the more accurate our quote is, the lower the prices will be. Ambiguities will only result in us quoting higher prices so we do not have losses at the end of a project. Understanding the quotation process will help you for all purposes. When an RFQ or RFP for a custom part or product is received by AGS-TECH Inc’s sales department, it is immediately scheduled for engineering review. Reviews take place on a daily basis and even several of these may be scheduled for a day. Participants to these meetings come from various departments such as planning, quality control, engineering, packaging, sales…etc and each makes its contribution for accurate calculation of lead times and cost. When various contributors to cost and standard lead times are added up, we come up with a total cost & lead time, from which a formal quote is drafted. The actual process involves of course much more than this. Each participant to the engineering meeting receives a preliminary document ahead of the meeting summarizing the projects that will be reviewed at a particular time and does his / her own estimations prior to the meeting. In other words, participants come prepared to these meetings and after reviewing all information as a group, refinements and adjustments are made and final numbers are calculated. Team members use advanced software tools such as GROUP TECHNOLOGY, to aid them to obtain the most accurate numbers for each quote prepared. Using Group Technology, new part designs can be developed using already existing and similar designs, thus saving a significant amount of time and work. Product designers can determine very fast whether data on a similar component already exists in the computer files. Custom manufacturing costs can more easily be estimated and the relevant statistics on materials, processes, number of parts produced, and other factors can easily be obtained. With Group Technology, process plans are standardized and scheduled more efficiently, orders are grouped for more efficient production, machine utilization is optimized, set-up times are lowered, components and assemblies are manufactured more efficiently and with higher quality. Similar tools, fixtures, machines are shared in the production of a family of parts. Since we have manufacturing operations at multiple plants, Group Technology also helps us determine which plant is the most suitable for a particular manufacturing request. In other words, the system compares and matches available equipment at each plant with the requirements of a particular part or assembly and determines which of our plant or plants are the best fit for that planned work order. Even geographic proximity of the plants to the products shipping destination and shipping prices are taken into account by our computer integrated system. Together with Group Technology, we implement CAD/CAM, cellular manufacturing, computer integrated manufacturing and improve productivity and reduce costs even in small-batch production approaching mass production prices per piece. All these capabilities along with manufacturing operations in low-cost countries enables AGS-TECH Inc., the World’s most diverse engineering integrator to provide the most outstanding quotations for custom manufacturing RFQs. Other powerful tools we use in our quoting process of custom manufactured components are COMPUTER SIMULATIONS of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES and SYSTEMS. A process simulation can be: -A model of a manufacturing operation, for the purpose of determining the viability of a process or for improving its performance. -A model of multiple processes and their interactions to help our process planners optimize process routes and layout of machinery. Frequent problems addressed by these models include process viability such as assessing the formability and behavior of a certain gauge sheet metal in a certain pressworking operation or process optimization such as analyzing the metal-flow pattern in a die forging operation to identify potential defects. This kind of information obtained help our estimators better determine whether we should quote a particular RFQ or not. If we determine to quote it, these simulations give us a better idea about the expected yields, cycle times, prices and lead times. Our dedicated software program simulates an entire manufacturing system that involves multiple processes and equipment. This helps identify critical machinery, assists in scheduling and routing of work orders and eliminates potential production bottlenecks. Scheduling and routing information obtained helps us in our quotation of RFQs. The more accurate our info is, the more accurate and lower our quoted prices will be. WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD CUSTOMERS PROVIDE AGS-TECH Inc. TO GET THE BEST PRICE QUOTE WITHIN SHORTEST TIME ? Best quotation is the one with lowest possible price (with no sacrifice on quality), shortest or customer preferred lead time formally provided to customer quickly. Providing the best quotation is always our goal, however it depends on you (the customer) just as much as on us. Here is the information we would expect from you when you send us a Request for Quote (RFQ). We may not need all of these to quote your components and assemblies, but the more of these you can provide the more likely it is that you will receive a very competitive quotation from us. - 2D Blueprints (technical drawings) of parts and assemblies. Blueprints should clearly show dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, coatings if applicable, material information, blueprint revision number or letter, Bill of Materials (BOM), part view from different directions…etc. These can be in PDF, JPEG format or else. - 3D CAD files of parts and assemblies. These can be in DFX, STL, IGES, STEP, PDES format or else. - Quantities of parts for quote. Generally, the higher the quantity the lower will be the price in our quote (please be honest with your actual quantities for quote). - If there are off-the-shelf components that are assembled with your parts, please feel free to include them in your blueprints. If assembly is complicated, separate assembly blueprints help us much in the quotation process. We may buy and assemble the off-shelf components into your products or custom manufacture depending on the economic viability. In any case we can include those in our quote. - Clearly indicate whether you want us to quote individual components or a subassembly or an assembly. This will save us time and hassle in the quotation process. -Shipping address of parts for quote. This helps us quote shipping in case you do not have a courier account or forwarder. - Indicate whether it is a batch production request or a long term repeat order that is planned. A repeat order over long term generally receives a better price quotation. A blanket order does generally also receive a better quote. - Indicate whether you want special packaging, labeling, marking…etc of your products. Indicating all your requirements in the beginning will save both parties time and effort in the quotation process. If not indicated at the beginning, we will likely need to re-quote later and this will only delay the process. - If you need us to sign an NDA prior to quoting your projects, please email them over to us. We gladly accept signing NDAs prior to quoting projects that have confidential content. If you do not have an NDA, but need one, just tell us and we will send it to you prior to quoting. Our NDA covers both sides. WHAT PRODUCT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH TO GET THE BEST PRICE QUOTE WITHIN SHORTEST TIME ? Some fundamental design considerations customers should take into account for obtaining the best quotation are: - Is it possible to simplify product design and reduce the number of components for a better quote without adversely affecting intended functions and performance ? - Were environmental considerations taken into account and incorporated into material, process and design ? Environmentally polluting technologies have higher tax burdens and disposal fees and thus indirectly result in us quoting higher prices. - Have you investigated all alternative designs ? When you send us a request for quote, please feel free to ask whether changes in design or material would make the price quote lower. We will review and give you our feedback about the effect of modifications on the quote. Alternatively you may send us several designs and compare our quotation on each. - Can unnecessary features of the product or its components be eliminated or combined with other features for a better quote ? - Have you considered modularity in your design for a family of similar products and for service and repairs, upgrading and installation ? Modularity can make us quote lower overall prices as well as reduce service and maintenance costs in the long term. For example a number of injection molded parts made of the same plastic material can be manufactured using mold inserts. Our price quotation for a mold insert is much lower than for a new mold for each part. - Can the design be made lighter and smaller ? Lightweight and smaller size not only results in better product quotation, but also saves you much on shipping cost. - Have you specified unnecessary and excessively stringent dimensional tolerances and surface finish ? The tighter the tolerances, the higher the price quote. The more difficult and tighter the surface finish requirements, again the higher the price quote. For the best quote, keep it as simple as needed. - Will it be excessively difficult and time consuming to assemble, disassemble, service, repair and recycle the product ? If so, the price quote will be higher. So again keep it as simple as possible for the best price quote. - Have you considered subassemblies ? The more value added services we add to your product such as subassembly, the better our quote will be. The overall cost of procurement will be much higher if you have several manufacturers get involved in quoting. Have us do as much as possible and for sure you will obtain the best price quote that is potentially out there. - Have you minimized the use of fasteners, their quantities and variety ? Fasteners result in higher price quotation. If easy snap-on or stacking features can be designed into the product it may result in a better price quote. - Are some of the components commercially available ? If you have an assembly for quote, please indicate on your drawing if some components are available off-the-shelf. Sometimes it is less expensive if we buy and incorporate these components instead of manufacturing them. Their manufacturer may be producing them in high volume and give us a better quote than us manufacturing them from scratch especially if the quantities are small. - If possible, choose the safest materials and designs. The safer it is, the lower will be our price quote. WHAT MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH TO GET THE BEST PRICE QUOTE WITHIN SHORTEST TIME ? Some fundamental material considerations customers should take into account for obtaining the best quotation are: - Did you select materials with properties that unnecessarily exceed minimum requirements and specifications ? If so, the price quote may be higher. For the lowest quote, try to use the least expensive material that meets or exceeds expectations. - Can some materials be replaced with less expensive ones ? This naturally lowers the price quote. - Do the materials you selected have the appropriate manufacturing characteristics ? If so, the price quote will be lower. If not, it may take more time to manufacture the parts, and we may have more tool wear and thus a higher price quote. In short, there is no need to make a part from tungsten if aluminum does the job. - Are raw materials needed for your products available in standard shapes, dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish ? If not, the price quote will be higher due to additional cutting, grinding, processing…etc. - Is the material supply reliable ? If not, our quotation may well be different each time you reorder the product. Some materials have rapidly and significantly changing prices in the global marketplace. Our quote will be better if the material used is plenty and has a stable supply. - Can the raw materials chosen be obtained in the required quantities in the desired timeframe ? For some materials, raw material suppliers have Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ). Therefore if quantities you requested are low, it may be impossible for us to get a price quote from the material supplier. Again, for some exotic materials, our procurement lead times may be too long. - Some materials are able to improve assembly and even facilitate automated assembly. This may result in a better price quote. For example a ferromagnetic material may easily be picked and placed with electromagnetic manipulators. Consult with our engineers if you do not have internal engineering resources. Automation can lead to a much better quote especially for high volume production. - Choose materials that increase stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios of structures whenever possible. This will require less raw material and thus make a lower quotation possible. - Comply with legislation and laws prohibiting the use of environmentally destructive materials. This approach will eliminate high disposal fees for destructive materials and thus make a lower quotation possible. - Choose materials that reduce performance variations, environmental sensitivity of products, improve robustness. This way, there will be less manufacturing scrap and rework and we can quote much better prices. WHAT MANUFACTURING PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH TO GET THE BEST PRICE QUOTE WITHIN SHORTEST TIME ? Some fundamental process considerations customers should take into account for obtaining the best quotation are: - Have you considered all alternative processes ? Price quote can be surprisingly lower for some processes as compared to others. Therefore, unless necessary, leave the process decision to us. We prefer to quote you considering the lowest cost option. - What are the ecological impacts of the processes ? Try to choose the most ecologically friendly processes. This will result in a lower price quotation because of lower environment related fees. - Are the processing methods considered economical for the type of material, shape produced, and production rate ? If these match well with the processing method, you will receive a more appealing quotation. - Can requirements for tolerances, surface finish, and product quality be met consistently ? The more the consistency, the lower our price quotation and the shorter the lead time. - Can your components be produced to final dimensions without additional finishing operations ? If so, this will give us the opportunity to quote lower prices. - Is the tooling required available or manufacturable at our plants ? Or can we purchase it as an off-shelf item ? If so, we can quote better prices. If not we will need to procure and add it to our quotation. For best quote, try to keep designs and required processes as simple as possible. - Did you think of minimizing the scrap by choosing the right process ? The lower the scrap the lower the quoted price ? We may be able to sell some scrap and deduct from the quote in some cases, but most of the scrap metal and plastics produced during processing are of low value. - Give us the opportunity to optimize all processing parameters. This will result in a more appealing quote. For example, if four weeks lead time is good for you, don’t insist on two weeks which will force us to machine parts faster and therefore have more tool damage, as this will be calculated into the quotation. - Have you explored all the automation possibilities for all phases of the production ? If not, reconsidering your project along these lines can result in a lower price quote. - We implement Group Technology for parts with similar geometries and manufacturing attributes. You will receive a better quotation if you send over RFQs for more parts with similarities in geometry and design. If we evaluate them at the same time together, we will most likely quote lower prices for each (with the condition that they are ordered together). - If you have special inspection and quality control procedures to be implemented by us, make sure they are useful and not misleading. We cannot take responsibility for mistakes arising due to ill-designed procedures imposed on us. Generally speaking, our quotation is more appealing if we implement our own procedures. - For high volume production, our quote will be better if we manufacture all components in your assembly. However, sometimes for low volume production, our final quote can be lower if we can purchase some of the standard items that go into your assembly. Consult with us prior to making a decision.

TIMKEN SEALS: - Download Timken Large Bore Industrial Seal Catalog Small Bore Bonded Seal Catalog - NSC Info Section NSC Manufacturers NSC Numeric & Metric NSC Numerical Lists NSC Oil Seals 410027- 9Y9895 NSC O Rings Oil Seals up to 410005 NSC Size Section MATERIALS USED IN MECHANICAL SEALS: All our mechanical seals are assembled from the finest materials. The type of lubricant and the mean operating temperature generally govern the choice of elastomer to be used for the mechanical seal compound. Nitrile rubber compounds are among the most widely used sealing materials because temperatures seldom exceed 220 F (105 C). Nitrile rubber has good wear characteristics, easy to mold and inexpensive sealing materials used in seals. For some seals special oil resistant silicone compounds are preferred. For high end applications fluoroelastomer compounds such as Viton are used in seals because they have a long life at very high temperatures in almost any lubricant. Seals incorporating fluoroelastomers are higher in cost however. At low temperatures fluoroelastomers get stiff but not brittle. CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service PREVIOUS PAGE

Dowload brochure for our DESIGN PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM Below is some fundamental information about networking devices that you may find useful. List of computer networking devices / Common basic networking devices: ROUTER: This is a specialized network device that determines the next network point where it can forward a data packet towards the destination of the packet. Unlike a gateway, it cannot interface different protocols. Works on OSI layer 3. BRIDGE: This is a device connecting multiple network segments along the data link layer. Works on OSI layer 2. SWITCH: This is a device that allocates traffic from one network segment to certain lines (intended destination(s)) which connect the segment to another network segment. So unlike a hub a switch splits the network traffic and sends it to different destinations rather than to all systems on the network. Works on OSI layer 2. HUB: Connects multiple Ethernet segments together and makes them act as a single segment. In other words, a hub provides bandwidth which is shared among all the objects. A hub is one of the most basic hardware devices that connects two or more Ethernet terminals in a network. Therefore, only one computer connected to the hub is able to transmit at a time, contrary to switches, which provide a dedicated connection between individual nodes. Works on OSI layer 1. REPEATER: This is a device to amplify and/or regenerate digital signals received while sending them from one part of a network to another. Works on OSI layer 1. Some of our HYBRID NETWORK devices: MULTILAYER SWITCH: This is a switch that besides switching on OSI layer 2, provides functionality at higher protocol layers. PROTOCOL CONVERTER: This is a hardware device that converts between two different types of transmissions, such as asynchronous and synchronous transmissions. BRIDGE ROUTER (B ROUTER): This piece of equipment combines router and bridge functionalities and therefore works on OSI layers 2 and 3. Here are some of our hardware and software components that most often are placed on the connection points of different networks, e.g. between internal and external networks: PROXY: This is a computer network service that allows clients to make indirect network connections to other network services FIREWALL: This is a piece of hardware and/or software placed on the network to prevent the type of communications that are forbidden by the network policy. NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATOR: Network services provided as hardware and/or software that convert internal to external network addresses and vice versa. Other popular hardware for establishing networks or dial-up connections: MULTIPLEXER: This device combines several electrical signals into a single signal. NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER: A piece of computer hardware which allows the attached computer to communicate by network. WIRELESS NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER: A piece of computer hardware which allows the attached computer to communicate by WLAN. MODEM: This is a device that modulates an analog ''carrier'' signal (such as sound), to encode digital information, and that also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information, as a computer communicating with another computer over the telephone network. ISDN TERMINAL ADAPTER (TA): This is a specialized gateway for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) LINE DRIVER: This is a device that increases transmission distances by amplifying the signal. Base-band networks only. CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service PREVIOUS PAGE

Plastic Rubber Metal Extrusions, Extrusion Dies, Aluminum Extruding, Pipe Tube Forming, Plastic Profiles, Metal Profiles Manufacturing, PVC at AGS-TECH Inc. Extrusions, Extruded Products, Extrudates We use the EXTRUSION process to manufacture products with a fixed cross sectional profile such as tubes, pipes and heat sinks. Even though many materials can be extruded, our most common extrusions are made of metal, polymers / plastic, ceramic obtained by either cold, warm or hot extrusion method. We call the extruded parts extrudate or extrudates if plural. Some specialized versions of the process we also perform are overjacketing, coextrusion and compound extrusion. We recommend that you click here to DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Metal Ceramic and Plastic Extrusion Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. This will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. In extrusion material to be extruded is pushed or drawn through a die that has the desired cross-sectional profile. The process can be used to manufacture complex cross-sections with excellent surface finish and to work on brittle material. One can produce any length of parts using this process. To simplify the process steps: 1.) In warm or hot extrusions the material is heated and loaded into a container in the press. The material is pressed and pushed out of the die. 2.) Produced extrudate is is stretched for straightening, heat treated or cold worked for enhancing its properties. On the other hand COLD EXTRUSION takes place at around room temperature and has the advantages of less oxidation, high strength, closer tolerances, good surface finish and fastness. WARM EXTRUSION is performed above room temperature but below recrystallization point. It offers a compromise and balance for required forces, ductility and material properties and is therefore the choice for some applications. HOT EXTRUSION takes place above the material’s recrystallization temperature. This way it is easier to push the material through the die. However the equipment cost is high. The more complex an extruded profile, the more costly is the die (tooling) and the lower is the rate of production. The die cross sections as well as thicknesses have limitations that depend on the material to be extruded. Sharp corners in extrusion dies are always undesirable and to be avoided unless necessary. According to the material that is being extruded, we offer: • METAL EXTRUSIONS : Most common ones we produce are aluminum, brass, zinc, copper, steel, titanium, magnesium • PLASTIC EXTRUSION : Plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Our common materials processed are polyethylene, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, ABS plastic, polycarbonate, acrylic. Typical products we manufacture include pipes and tubing, plastic frames. In the process small plastic beads / resin is gravity fed from hopper into barrel of the extrusion machine. Frequently we also mix colorants or other additives into hopper to give the product the required specifications and properties. The material entering the heated barrel is forced by the rotating screw to leave the barrel at the end and move through the screen pack for removal of contaminants in the molten plastic. After passing the screen pack the plastic enters the extrusion die. The die gives the moving soft plastic its profile shape as it passes through. Now the extrudate goes through a water bath for cooling. Other techniques AGS-TECH Inc. has been using for many years are: • PIPE & TUBING EXTRUSION : Plastic pipes and tubes are formed when plastics is extruded through a round shaping die and cooled in a water bath, then cut to length or coiled / spooled. Clear or colored, striped, single or dual wall, flexible or rigid, PE, PP, polyurethane, PVC, nylon, PC, silicone, vinyl or else, we have it all. We have stocked tubes as well as the capability to produce according to your specifications. AGS-TECH manufactures tubing to FDA, UL, and LE requirements for medical, electric & electronic, industrial and other applications. • OVERJACKETING / OVER JACKETING EXTRUSION : This technique applies an outer layer of plastic onto existing wire or cable. Our insulation wires are manufactured with this method. • COEXTRUSION : Multiple layers of material are simultaneously extruded. The multiple layers are delivered by multiple extruders. The various layer thicknesses can be adjusted to meet customer specifications. This process makes it possible to use multiple polymers each having a different functionality in the product. As a result, one can optimize a range of properties. • COMPOUND EXTRUSION: A single or multiple polymers are mixed with additives to obtain a plastic compound. Our twin-screw extruders produce compounding extrusions. Extrusion dies are generally inexpensive compared to metal moulds. If you are paying much more than a few thousand dollars for a small or medium size extrusion die extruding aluminum, you are probably paying too much. We are experts in determining which technique is the most cost effective, fastest and most suitable for your application. Sometimes extruding and then machining a part can save you a lot of cash. Before making a firm decision, ask us our opinion first. We have helped many customers make the right decisions. For some widely used metal extrusions, you can download our brochures and catalogs by clicking on the colored text below. If it is an off-shelf product meeting your requirements, it will be more economical.
