DESIGN AND PROGRAMMING
At Zephyr Engineering, we regard change as an ally. We are obsessed with increasing the efficiencies of production — all day, every day. Our state-of-the-art CNC equipment is backed up with highly-skilled machine operators. This is the engine of our production machine that will produce your parts — from design to delivery, without missing a beat.
- Multi-part (kit) nesting of sheet metal components.
- Email print transfer gives 100% print reproduction.
- Detailed operation/inspection sign-off documents accompanying every work order.
MACHINING
- Cutting-edge lathes and mills mean fast run times of consistent parts.
- Continuous off-site education keeps our operators at the forefront of their field.
- Quality parts can only come from work stations that are well lit, exceptionally clean, and well organized.
FABRICATION
- CNC laser capacity: 3/4″ steel plate, 1/2″ stainless steel plate, 3/8″ aluminum plate.
- All levels of high tolerance CNC forming capability.
- Full range of tube bending capability.
- CNC precision fixtures allow our certified welders to achieve unparalleled consistency.
INSPECTION AND QUALITY
- Fully integrated Windows-based software system assures accurate verifiable part tracking.
- Efficient packaging and inventory assures that you receive your parts when you need them.
- Our #1 goal is part consistency — not only across days and weeks, but months and years.
Our FARO Edge arm with 3D Laser Line Probe, a portable coordinate measuring machine, is used for inspection, quality assurance, and reverse engineering. We utilize this tool for CAD-based inspection to ensure that parts and assemblies conform to CAD model specifications. We also use it for incoming, first article, in-process, and final inspection when required.
DELIVERY
There’s more to delivery than just our great trucks. Our state-of-the-art software tracking system can handle multiple release dates while tracking production and delivery. What this means for you is that we keep as tight a rein on our delivery schedules as we do on our production standards.
If it doesn’t get to you when you need it, then it doesn’t matter how good it is.
