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 CFD 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. Contact us today and request
a quotation for your RP needs.
