COMPLEX GEARBOX PRECISION CLEAN SYSTEM IN PRODUCTION

May 12, 2010 Based on field analysis of existing component cleaning technologies employed by a major defense industry player, ACT determined that the only solution to ataining verifiable, known cleanliness on these critical aircraft parts was to employ a unique, mulit-stage, multi-tank, system approach. The system must also insure the safety of the close tolerance parts in-process, and thus custom fixturing was devloped to secure the loads in the 60" diameter rotor. Yes, the entire load rotates on the horizontal axis! ACT was awarded the contract in March with expected shipment in July of this year. For more information on how ACT can apply its technologies to your component cleaning and production woes, for increased speed and profitability, contact ACT in San Antonio today.

MILITARY SELECTS ACT FOR NEW PAINT STRIPPING SYSTEMS

December 04, 2009 ACT announced last month that the company was awarded a contract for turnkey removal and replacement of antiquated coating removal systems with new, automated processing units for large aircraft components. The systems are from ACT's STR Series of closed loop strip processors utilizing uniquely combined technologies, engineered to enhance coating removal, while preserving the solution viability by employing centrifugal separation systems shared between the pair of STR's. "These machines will take their shop from open top, poorly exhausted, and slow performing tanks to the latest in high performance chemical stripping as part of the continued initiative to improve DOD overhaul production and aircraft turnaround speed" said the company's GM, Dave Poirier. The project is expected to be completed by mid-March, 2010.
