Description

Sciaky designs and manufactures custom resistance welding systems known for their unrivaled performance and durability. Nobody builds them tougher than Sciaky.

Sciaky’s groundbreaking additive manufacturing process, which is marketed as Electron Beam Direct Manufacturing (EBDM), combines computer-aided design (CAD), electron beam welding technology and layer-additive processing. To date, it is the only large-scale, fully-programmable means of achieving near-net shape parts made of high-value metals, such as titanium, tantalum and inconel. Sciaky’s AM process has a standard build envelope of 19' x 4' x 4' (L x W x H), allowing manufacturers to produce very large parts and structures, with virtually no waste.

Challenge: An aerospace component manufacturer needed an electron beam welding system manufacturer to reduce its average EB welding process time for turbine engine components . The system was required to weld numerous parts in one pump-down.

Sciaky produces quality product through its documented, registered ISO9001:AS9100 Quality Management System. This QMS includes regular oversight by our internal auditors, third party auditors, customers and regulatory agencies. Our Quality Team members know that Quality Planning is key to our success in determining what the customer expectations are, and then ensuring that the plan produces positive results.

Sciaky designed a special resistance welding system for a customer that manufactures steel doors in various lengths and widths. The core of the doors consist of steel sheets welded to Z-bar supports. The customer had previously used several stand-alone Sciaky press-type spot welders and manual handling methods to weld the parts in several operations. An increase in product volume, as well as the age of the old manual equipment, prompted Sciaky to develop a plan to automate the welding of the doors’ skins. A Sciaky welding study determined it was possible to weld the doors from just one side.
