The beauty of additive manufacturing (specifically Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing), is that with the right design approach, it can be used just about anywhere. At the event we will have an expert who has been using our printing technology for 5+ years in a variety of scenarios including (to name a few):

  1. Jigs and fixtures
  2. Go no-go check gauges
  3. Safety guards
  4. Guides, rails, bumpers, trays
  5. Temporary of replacement parts
  6. Tooling organization (think 5S)
  7. Robotic arms and grippers
  8. Bridge tooling
  9. Training aids
  10. Assembly aids
  11. COVID rapid-response items

 

Give us your thoughts on what the future holds for manufacturers and logistics.

Manufacturing is in the process of being re-invented again. HP is excited to help enable this new future by working with customers to discover this new reality.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
