The Best Quality Texturing and Interlacing Jets from Professionals

Textiles industry requires large quantities of precision parts for sustenance. These are extrusion parts such as aspirators and ceramic guides besides idler rolls and both interlacing jets and texturing jets as well as thread up tools. There is also a huge requirement of Barmag parts and Fare parts, Filteco parts and Mackie parts besides Reiter and Sahm parts among others. Parts are also necessary for air entanglement machines. These include Gilbos parts and Belmont parts and others. The industry also needs parts for heat set and twisting machines and these include GVA, Superba and Sussen parts besides others.

Precision Products Inc (PPI) has been producing texturing jets and interlacing jets since 2000. The texturing jets are required for single step extruders of carpet face yarn as well as the automobile fabrics and upholstery. Interlacing jets, on the other hand are used in air entanglement of CF and BCF yarns. PPI has invested huge sums of money in some of the latest equipment such as a high precision coordinate machine and a X-ray Fluorescence device (XRF) for metallurgical analysis.

At PPI, all jets are fully inspected for compliance to 35 critical features and engraved with their specific serial numbers that helps in tracking the part to its original measurements. PPI produces replacement jets for all major extruders and this includes Barmag, Neumag and Reiter. These texturing jets are manufactured from a heat treated alloy that is both stable and hard thereby ensuring long life. These also cost less than the OEM parts. The life and durability of interlacing jets is superb and these are also cheap.

High Precision Machining and Drilling with 4th axis EDM

In order to meet the precise requirements of its customers in different sectors, a leading precision engineering company such as Precision Products Inc (PPI) needs special resources. These resources include not only the latest CNC machines for milling and turning operations but also sophisticated precision machines such as the 4th axis EDM or Electrical Discharge Machining. In the case of the EDM hole popper, drilling extremely fine holes in metal samples is one of the major tasks of the machine. 

The EDM is one of the most accurate manufacturing processes available for the creation of both simple & complex shapes and geometries within parts and assemblies. EDM works by eroding material in the path of electrical discharges that form an arc between the electrode tool and the work piece. In the EDM hole popper, the electrode is a brass or copper tube with which holes are blasted through the work piece. 

Small hole EDM (EDM hole popper) is used to drill rows of holes into the leading and trailing edges of turbine blades so that high temperature alloys can be used to withstand higher temperatures resulting from improved performance engines. These EDMs are also used to create microscopic orifices for fuel system components and spinnerets for synthetic fibers such as rayon. The 4th Axis EDM, on the other hand is used to create smooth and straight drills resulting in both superior finish and perfect surface. PPI has 4th axis EDM capabilities on all its machines, thereby offering an additional range in machining ability.

Contact Professional Engineers with Expertise in Metallurgical Analysis

There are certain features that every precision engineering company must have. These include resources such as CNC machines as well as the capability of carrying out metallurgical analysis besides providing high quality machine parts. Top precision engineering companies such as Precision Products Inc., (PPI) are well known throughout the US not only for their high quality of precision products that include extrusion parts but also their valuable resources in industrial metrology and metallurgical analysis.

PPI manufactures a large selection of extrusion parts especially for the textiles industry. These include idler rolls and aspirators as well as interlacing jets, ceramic guides, texturing jets and thread up tools. There are occasions when the parts required are new in nature and have not been produced earlier. In such cases, PPI has the resources of metallurgical analysis using which the sample part is identified in terms of its constituent metals/alloys.

The professional engineering company has a sophisticated X-Ray Fluorescence machine using which all metals and alloys can be analyzed in seconds and the exact content can be determined in a non-destructive test. This is a sure method of confirming that the metal used is the correct one. It also minimizes your risk and liability and ensures that the product will work adequately.

Once the metallurgical analysis has been carried out, it becomes a simple task to seek out the material and manufacture the product with the help of CNC machines such as those for milling and turning operations. The capability of carrying out metallurgical analysis ensures that both the incoming raw material and the finished products can be checked. PPI has a rigorous ISO 9001: 2008 quality system and so suitable procedures are rigidly performed to ensure that each product meets the specification set.

For all Precision Drilling Work with EDM, Contact the Experts

Precision engineering companies today require several resources and skills. They also need the capability to meet different requirements of customers. Precision Products Inc (PPI), an ISO 9001 2008 certified company, has skills, resources and the capability to meet the requirements of customers in industries as diverse as aerospace and food & beverage, jet turbine fuel systems and automotive besides power generation, textiles and defense among several others.

PPI has resources such as not only the CNC machines for milling, turning, high speed hard milling and multi-tasking operations but also EDM machining and current drilling equipment. The EDM or Electrical Discharge Machining equipment offers one of the most accurate manufacturing processes available today. One of its many functions includes that of the EDM drill. This is a very valuable capability that is especially required by sophisticated industries that include both aerospace and jet turbine fuel systems.

An EDM drill used for making very fine holes is also known as the EDM hole popper.  This is one of the three main types of EDM that also include the wire EDM and the sinker EDM. The EDM drill is used specifically for the task of drilling rows of fine holes into the leading and trailing edges of turbine blades used for jet engines.

These fine holes cool the blades and thereby serve to expand the thermal range of capability of these blades. The blades can therefore be used at far high temperatures once these holes have been drilled into them. The EDM drill is also used to create microscopic orifices for the components for fuel systems as well as in spinnerets used for synthetic fibers such as rayon.

Perfect Extrusion Barrel Alignment using Laser Saves Money

Premier precision engineering companies today undertake the task of not only the production of precision products for diverse industries but they also carry out complex tasks such as laser barrel alignment, gearbox repair and the refurbishment of melt pumps. Precision Products Inc., (PPI) is one of the prominent manufacturers of precision products in the US. It is also well known for carrying out the highly precise jobs referred to as it has the CNC equipment, technical expertise and metallurgical backup.

Perfect Extrusion and Laser Barrel Alignment

Extrusion barrel alignment is one of the common uses of laser alignment due to the very fine tolerances that exist between the screw and the extruder barrel. Perfect alignment of the barrel relative to the output shaft of the gearbox will dramatically increase both the life and the output of an extrusion line. It is significant to note that the larger & longer the extrusion screw, the more important is the necessity of proper alignment.

Therefore, a misalignment of 0.060” on a 4” 24:1 screw requires more than 9000lbs force on the screw in order to bend it so that it conforms to the misaligned barrel. This implies that if extrusion barrel alignment is not proper, this large force will mean extra wear on the screw and the barrel. This will reduce the extruder output while both line efficiency and profits will suffer. In extreme cases the misalignment may result in the breakage of the screw.

Laser barrel alignment is the best way to prevent improper alignment. It should be carried out each time the screw is removed and whenever the gearbox is decoupled from the extruder. Laser is at once the most accurate and the fastest way to perform the procedure of alignment with the device that can measure a deviation of less than 0.001”.The alignment task takes 8-10 hours.
