We employ the latest technology in all
of our equipment. SMP is committed to driving the variation
out of each manufacturing process along with automating
to insure that we are the low cost producer. Statistical
methods coupled with an unyielding commitment to excellence
lead the way on our manufacturing floor. It all begins
with molding and SMP is utilizing the most state of
the art molding machines available today. These machines
coupled with part extraction robots allow "lights
out" manufacturing. From molding we move to debinding
and what separates us from most is that here we offer
options. Whether the component calls for solvent, thermal
or catalytic debinding we have the equipment to meet
the need. After debinding we move to sintering, here
temperatures reach as high as 1600( C and the accuracy
of the high temperature equipment is most crucial to
part quality and consistency. SMP utilizes the most
up to date sintering equipment available. The computerized
controls allow for a "hands off" process that,
once programmed is non-dependent on operator involvement.
Again, this allows for "lights out" processing.
Utilizing these computers not only allows us to tightly
control the process but provide second by second process
parameter recording to insure processing is performed
at the specified conditions.
When
capacity is at issue we are always ahead of the game.
Many processors are constrained by ability to make
capital equipment investment. SMP is constantly bringing
new production capacity on line to meet our customers
needs. From small batch processing to high volume
continuous sintering we deploy the equipment to best
meet the need.
