Manufacturing Engineering

We understand the manufacturing philosophies that need to be employed in today’s environment to maximize profitability, efficiency and quality.

AMETec has worked and been trained by a number of Australian and Japanese companies giving it a leading edge in understanding manufacturing processes flows and how to cost effectively improve performance.

We have a working knowledge of the Toyota production system and how you can apply it to your production facility.

  • Design for manufacture, Design for assembly.
  • First time quality. Kaizen ( Kaizen means "improvement". Kaizen calls for never-ending efforts for improvement involving everyone).
  • Down time reduction.
  • Elimination of Waste.
  • Check on Check.
  • Mistake Proofing.
  • Process layout (maximize floor space, material flow).
 
Tool Design -Tooling, Jigs, Fixtures and Gauge Design
td1 Toolmakers are under continuous pressure to reduce cost despite the fact that product designs and the corresponding tooling are becoming more complex.
td5 Tool design is always on the critical time line for new product introduction. These pressures combined with increasing global competition, requires toolmakers to reduce delivery times and costs. Tooling design plays a significant part in reducing not only the tooling manufacture time but also the cost.
td3 AMETec understands tool making and designs Jigs, Fixture, Gauges and tooling to minimise the cost of material, machining time and labour. We will work with the client through the concept development and design stage to ensure all the goals are met.
td4 AMETec will not take on work we cannot complete in the required time or where we feel the required design or concept will not work for the task it is required for.  In these cases we will be happy to talk to your about your companies needs and requirements and offer advice or solutions.  AMETec uses both 3D and 2D CAD systems depending on the client’s requirements supplying drawings in a number of formats including IGES, STEP,DWG,,PDF. eDrawings and Animation.
AMETec low operation cost, enable it to be very competitive. Clients can opt for either a fixed price contract or an hourly rate. Talk to us about our rates you will be pleasantly surprised.

AMETec respects its customers and treats your work as confidential. We are happy to sign confidentiality agreements.
 
Leak Testing
AMETec has 44 years of experience in inline and stand alone leak testing from low pressures to 7Mpa with leak rates as low as 10mm water column including built in self checking systems that check you process sensitivity and calibration automatically without having to stop the process to test master parts.

Reliable leak testing requires :-
  • Good fixture design
  • Good reliable seal interface between test part and fixture
  • Robust leak circuit
  • A good understanding of the mechanics of the products behaviour during leak testing

We can design leak test fixtures and circuits for inline testing or stand alone applications to your specifications incorporating our vast experience in leak testing.

Pneumatic Control Design
pn1

AMETec has many years of experience in the design and application of pneumatic control systems and their integration with HMI’s and PLC control systems.

There are advantages and disadvantages of electrical pneumatic control systems and it really depends on  the application  and what you want the control system to do.  Whether you need simple motion or force application with no feed back, or interlocking or an interlocked control system with feedback monitored and controlled by a PLC, AMETec can design and develop a quality system specific to your companies needs.
