Sand casting is an art dating back to ancient times. Since we began sand casting in 1932, we feel that we have perfected this art. Our green sand foundry can produce aluminum castings weighing ounces to several hundred pounds in a variety of alloys. We use several methods to produce sand castings.
The flexibility these methods give us is apparent because we can provide customers anywhere from one piece to thousands, depending on their requirements. We also pride ourselves on choosing the right application for the customers needs by working closely with the customer and suggesting the proper tooling and alloy. We pour most of the common aluminum alloys and will pour rare alloys if requested. Major markets we serve are the aerospace, machine tools, medical, food-processing and pump industries. |
Once the castings are produced, they are trimmed by our trim presses, the largest having thirty-two ton capacity. Secondary operations are available including tumbling, drilling, and tapping. Supplying a customer with a completely machined and finished part is also within our capability, as we have close relationships with several suppliers in these fields.
Capable of heat treatment, non-destructive testing, and fluorescent penetrant inspection at our facility, we can provide customers commercial die castings as well as die-castings for the aerospace industry. We also provide statistical process control and just-in-time delivery or ship to stock of certified components if required by a customer. Major markets serviced by our die-casting division include lighting, machine tool, pressure gauge, stage lighting, firearms and electrical connectors. |
