Advanced Technology

RICH manufactures component parts utilizing high speed machining technologies for a quality, cost effective solution. We specialize in lead time reductions using advanced manufacturing software for our customers.

Laser Processing     

Our lasers offer you the latest in three dimensional machining technology. We offer advanced material processing for a variety of high temperature alloys. Our processes include; clean cutting, welding, profile machining, and hole drilling.

 

High Speed Machining 

High speed machining removes material two to three times faster than conventional machining. We use newly developed consumable tooling and high speed spindles (up to 20,000 rpm). High speed machining technology combined with Unigraphics post processing ensures the best surface finish available for your processing needs.

 

High Speed EDM  

High speed Electronic Discharge Machining combines an electronic power supply with high pressure water to produce a superior metal removal process. Processing speed, accuracy, and low recast provide a new solution for holes, feature creation, and roughing of conventional and advanced alloys for a cost-effective solution.

Wire EDM

Wire EDM Technology compliments our non-conventional abilities by offering “lights out” manufacturing for a cost effective solution for medical, aerospace and power systems components. We design and manufacture complex modular fixtures from solid models allowing repeatability to one tenth of an inch (.0001).

 

CNC Plunge EDM

Our EDM machines offer the same dimensional tolerances available from conventional machining without the material stress and heavy holding fixtures. Using graphite dressers we can produce three dimensional geometry that conventional machines cannot generate.


Automated Verification

Our automated Coordinate Measurement machines (CMM) combined with Unigraphics & Valisys software enable us to inspect three dimensional parts and surfaces using only electronic data (no print required). This new technology gives the ability to map, process, and inspect hardware for a cost-effective solution.


 

Engineering

We have an Engineering staff trained in the application of Unigraphics CAD, Valisys Inspection, and Vericut CAM software. Our talented group of engineers and process technicians can create models and dimensional prints of your products.

 

Welding, Conventional Machining

We also maintain a full complement of conventional machining processes including; welding, turning, milling, drilling, grinding, grit blasting, tumbling, and cleaning.
