Engineering Capabilities
Our Engineering Division supports Fabritech with design work on tooling, parts,
and component systems for rotary-wing aircraft such as the AH-64, CH-47, OH-58,
and UH-60. Fabritech engineers have demonstrated their ability numerous
times by assisting out customers to improve their products. A few of their
accomplishments have been:
| | • | Developing an overhaul manual for the Boeing CH-47 Chinook Center Cargo Hook (P/N 145E5505-12). |
| | • | Designing an oil flow path that could not wear closed, thereby lengthening the Time Between Overhauls (TBO) of the Boeing AH-64 Apache Engine Nose Gearbox (P/N 7-311320001-11/12). |
| | • | Receiving an award from the U.S. Army's Value Engineering Change Program (VECP) for introducing repair procedures for Lube Pumps used on Apache Helicopters, resulting in contract savings of $874,519.60. |
| | • | Developed a state of
the art digital design with the same form, fit and function to replace the
existing outdated thru-hole, analog design for the Electrical System on the
CH-47 Self Tuning Dynamic Absorber, resulting in a contract savings of
$1,435,687.00. |

M900 Eastman Static Table System
Provides superior cutting performance and increased throughput. Capable of
marking, cutting, drilling and punching virtually any flexible material at
speeds of up to 60 inches per second(152.4cm/s); the static table system
registers accuracy of +/- .015 inches (.4mm), with higher accuracies available.
The user interface of EasiCut is virually intuitive. The software makes it
easy to control tool types, speeds, accelerations, and restart a file, or recut
pieces. EasiCut aids effciency by removing common lines, duplicate
entities, and edge cuts. Material is spread across the static table and
its internal blower system ensures material hold-down for cutting accuracy.
