Customer: Smith and Wesson; Sturm Ruger; FN One of the most high-demand, high-production industries Wet Technologies services today is firearms manufacturing, where customers such as Smith and Wesson and Sturm Ruger
Closed Loop, Precision Manufacturing
In the production of military and law enforcement firearms, and particularly in the manufacture of service handguns, adequately finishing the slide of the pistol is a common and frustrating challenge. The component’s configuration presents numerous nooks, crannies and hard-to-reach angles that obstruct a sufficient post-machining polishing process on the shop floor.
Dust Free, Precision Manufacturing, Wet Blasting, Wet SlurryIn all cases, dust is the enemy of this precision manufacturing environment, because its management adds maintenance costs, process time and increases the mileage these sensitive components see in the manufacturing process. The ideal scenario would be a completely dust-free abrasive blasting solution that limits manufacturing wear and tear and can be located right on […]
Precision Manufacturing, Wet Blasting
Lightweight composites like carbon fiber and alloys like titanium are used extensively in aviation as a substitute for heavier materials that are prone to corrosion or stress cracking or are dependent on rivet fastening. Components made of these smooth and often resin-layered materials are traditionally etched using manual sanding or dry blasting. However, these less-than-ideal […]
