Concepts
In Production, LLC has over 24 years experience specializing in cost improvements
for design and manufacturing processes.
Our quantitative methods of data collection allows us to clearly define the opportunities for manufacturing or design improvements.
Once the improvement opportunities are defined we then invoke our “real
world” manufacturing experience to apply the latest hardware and software
technology to enhance your engineering and manufacturing methods. A solution can be as simple as a cutter path change in a CNC program to as complex as
multiple “turn key” automated manufacturing process.
As part of CIP's service, we are proud to present a complete range of
design and manufacturing services and products. CIP provides expertise to facilitate:
Integrated
Solutions
Integrated
solutions are a key element to reduce time to market. All of CIP’s
products are 100% integrated to give you the most productive environment
possible. No IGES, or any means of translation, is necessary to meet your
design and manufacturing requirements.
We represent and use the latest hardware and software to fully
integrate the manufacturing processes.
Consulting
Services
Our consulting services are designed to rapidly improve your
manufacturing and design processes. We
achieve this by a quantitative approach to data collection and actions based
on evaluation data. Our consulting
efforts insure quality products and reduce time to market, therefore increasing
your profit margin.
- CAD
Selecting the appropriate CAD system, based on individual unique requirements,
is important to a successful implementation. We approach
system
selection with a non biased approach, being careful to consider your
customer's requirements for electronic data exchange. This is most important to
assure a reduction in time to market. We then provide implementation plans to assure success.

CAM/CNC
Programming
Computer
Aided Machining is an important part of the manufacturing process. CIP's extensive
experience in actual manufacturing situations gives us the knowledge base for
creative CAM development and implementation. We can apply this
"real world" experience to the application because of our understanding
of the cutting tools and processes needed in CNC manufacturing. Our CAM solutions include:
1. CAM Implementation (one station to totally networked solutions)
2. Post Processor Work (from development to "tweaking of existing posts")
3. CNC Programming (Our experience of machine code language
ranges from hand development of programs to expensive
CAM applications. We understand this process in great detail)
4. PLC Programming also available.

CIM
We use
the latest in networking software to facilitate total shop floor
communications from simple file transfer to complete machine
monitoring of the whole manufacturing facility from one PC. We can get
your older CNC machines into DNC with drip feed capabilities
without
having to add memory to the controller. PLC programming is also
becoming possible with a PC and integrated into the shop floor.

Cutting
Tools
Tooling in
manufacturing is where the "rubber meets the road". Your cutting tools and
holders can absolutely make or break your success in
manufacturing. We understand specialized tooling needs from simple to complex
designs. We have been involved in cutting tool design with some of the top tooling
manufactures in the world. CIP knows the importance of proper cutter
path and speeds to optimize any given process from standard to exotic materials.
1. Custom tool design
2. Optimizing tooling design or applications for longer more productive
cutter life
3. Optimizing proper tooling and cutter paths with respect to the highest
possible metal removal rate for a given material
and set up. This approach takes into consideration every
factor in each individual set up. For example, Spindle size,
fixturing, tool length and offset, are factors that play an
important part in the optimization that sometimes get overlooked.
-
High
Speed Machining
Advances of
machines and tooling have allowed more companies to get into the world of High Speed
Machining. This is an area that can see great profits in manufacturing when
implemented correctly. We can work with existing issues or help make you
successful from the start. We understand the importance of issues like:
spindle speed and type, capable tooling, coolant types and applications, data
transfer speeds and how they affect the High Speed Machining process.
-
Capacity
Management
Let our experience
find better ways to manage your machine time. Everyone knows that if you
have an expensive piece of CNC equipment sitting idle it is costing you
money. Improvements in this area are sometimes all that a facility needs to get more
profit out of their manufacturing process.
-
Project Management
CIP can take
the headaches out of project management for you facility. Let our manufacturing
and procurement experience help facilitate a successful project
implementation from concept to production.
Design
Services
We provide
support to all areas of the industry automotive, aerospace, furniture,
medical and consumer products. We utilize the most proficient design tools the industry has to offer to provide you cost effective and quick
delivery.
Analysis
& Simulation
If you need
Finite Element Analysis, Kinematics Analysis or motion simulation, or even
Moldflow simulation we can provide them. With the most proficient
engineering tools the industry has to offer we can provide you cost effective
and quick delivery.
Reverse
Engineering
If you have
physical parts or tools that need to be manufactured and you don’t have
prints. We can reverse these items for you in record time.
Rapid
Prototyping Services
You have decided
that you need a rapid prototype to improve quality, reduce costs and
reduce time to market. CIP can provide the prototyping technology to
meet your requirements. Our customers have learned that, CIP can provide
parts quicker and more cost competitive than most service bureaus.
