TOOLS

Here is a sample of some of the hundreds of tools we have designed & built. They represent a portion of the solutions we have devised to address safety & production issues in manufacturing.

3-unit lifting fixture. Eliminated the possibility of back injuries. Items were manually lifted & placed on a pallet one at a time before implementation of this tool.	Fixture for making precise bends in copper tubing.
Fixture for positioning copper tube for Flow drilling. One fixture is used to locate 2 different holes.	Set of phosphor bronze plate insertion guides. Speeded assembly process by five times!
Precision 2 stage bending brake. This had been done with pliers resulting in lots of scrap of a very expensive component.	Custom torque wrench head and sockets. Eliminated a big warranty problem.
Custom ground repair tools. Allowed repair of a component in the completed product without dismantling the unit. Turned a 3 hour repair into a 15 minute job.	Fabricated wire feed rack. Coils were loaded on a single station feeder for every wire change. Warehouse personnel were constantly replacing the coils. Now every wire size & color is instantly available.
Fixture & guard for cutting large diameter tube on a table saw. Extremely safe & cost effective.	Brazing fixture with integrated component cooling. Provides perfect tube alignment with no burned up valves.
Pneumatic T-nut insertion tool. Perfect insertion eliminating pinched, bloody fingers.	Fabricated overhead bridge crane.
Pitch stabilizer for a machine that rolls 5/8” Titanium heat exchanger coils. This modification turned an unusable machine into a production work-horse!	Simple but effective test connection. Speeded up process by 3-times!
Pneumatic bench punch Punches 2 simultaneous holes in a hinge bracket. Previously done by hand punch. Speeded up process by 8-times.	30-station pneumatic glue press. Immediately increased production by 3-times & eliminated a serious production bottleneck.
Ceiling mounted custom storage & feed racks with open floor space underneath.	Pneumatic punch for locating & piercing holes in 4 different diameter copper tubes. These were being done with a hand operated plier-like tool. Speeded production by 4-times & eliminated sore-hands.
Custom lifting tool. These were being manually wrestled into place.
