Automated Precision develops innovative laser metrology solutions for aircraft, automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding and machine tool industries.
Each year the Department of Defense (DoD) spends multi-millions of dollars repairing vehicle components caused by corrosion damage. The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) managed a cross-industry collaborative team that developed a new kinetic spray technology championed by the Delphi Research Laboratory. This new technology will impact Department of Defense by significantly reducing corrosion related maintenance across all military services.
A variety of landing gear components are failing without having reached their desired service lives. The failures are due primarily to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and fatigue. The objective of this project was to improve the fatigue life and SCC resistance through the application of laser peening technology to selected components.
The 2008 AMT/NCMS Manufacturing Technology Forum is a joint conference with the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) focusing on technical needs and research and development (R&D) activities occurring throughout the world. Attendees are from AMT and NCMS membership, end user communities, research laboratories, and academia.
The Marine Corps Base Quantico will be co-hosting a combined workshop with the Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA) and the Joint Technologies Exchange Group (JTEG). The theme for this workshop is “Land Systems Sustainment Technology”.
United States Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) met with NCMS President Rick Jarman today at NCMS headquarters to explore new avenues of collaboration that would benefit Michigan manufacturers. Included in the discussions was the American Manufacturing Initiative (AMI) which will establish a plan to get the manufacturing sector back on track. The Senator recognizes that many of NCMS’ programs are key to achieving that goal.
