One Small Step With one small step, a man became a hero and the impossible became a reality.

The same heroic spirit that fueled the space race and placed the first man on the moon still lives within the people who support NASA’s continued pursuit of innovation. Using GF AgieCharmilles HPM 800U machines, NASA experts manufacture the technology that continues to propel science beyond what we think possible.

From that first lunar landing to modern space exploration, the heroes behind these accomplishments take small steps every day that amount to giant leaps for mankind.

Editors Corner “Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have.When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R & D. ” - Steve Jobs In these great United States, sometimes we are hard on ourselves. We say that we are losing our competitive edge. But there are so many fantastic innovations that are happening all around us on a daily basis.

And if Nobel Prizes are a testament to innovation (which I think they are),we’ve been awarded 39% of all Nobel Prizes, and 48% of the world total in the sciences, medicine, and economics.That is staggering and impressive to me.

Fast Company recently released its list of ‘The 2013 Most Innovative Companies’. Their annual guide features businesses whose innovations are having the greatest impacts across their industries and our culture as a whole. Apple, as expected, was a winner, but I think you will be surprised by some of the results.

Number 1 was Nike. Nike? Last year, Nike’s experimentation yielded two breakout hits.The first was the FuelBand, a $150 electronic bracelet that measures your movements throughout the day, whether you play tennis, jog, or just walk to work.The other innovation was the Flyknit Racer, a featherlight shoe that feels more like a sock atop a sole. Nike won this top position because Fast Company admires their ability to bring to market 2 breakthrough technologies in a given year despite the fact that they are no longer a small company.

You may be surprised that Facebook andTwitter are not on the list of the most innovative companies.

Fast Company alleges that both companies have turned their focus away from users and toward shareholders to get bigger, not better. Revenue is great, but not at the expense of the product.

A company I know and love (and use extensively in lieu of hotels) is AirBNB. The company garnered the 12th spot on Fast Company’s overall list for upgrading itself into a five-star vacation destination. I love AirBNB because I can rent a house, not just a room, for about the same price as a hotel, and with many, I can bring my dogs!

Target was a top pick in the Retailers category. It won its award for ‘shrinking the big box’. The company launched ‘CityTarget’, a half-size store prototype that launched in Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles last July. One of the key new product introductions was its ‘local’ flaire (e.g. coffee cups in Seattle).The CityTargets did so well that Target is adding three new stores this year.

In the Robots category, Lockheed Martin was a winner. It did so for flying robot pilots through unfriendly skies. Lockheed Martin develops its share of death-dealing hardware. But the K-MAX unmanned (and unarmed) chopper has distinguished itself in more peaceful duties, too, delivering more than 2 million pounds of food, gear, and other supplies to U.S. Marines in Afghanistan.

Fast Company’s winners weren’t all company names that are household names. Rio Salado Community College, based in Tempe,Arizona, was honored for creating a customized coursemanagement and student-services system to keep track of at-risk students on its Arizona campus and online. It’s the fastest-growing community college in the nation, with 70,000 students in Arizona and online nationwide--mostly poor, Hispanic, and first-generation.The RioLearn system alerts faculty when a student’s attendance slips or if anyone misses an assignment, and also sends students text message reminders. Within the first eight days of class, the data can predict which students are likely to drop out so that teachers can focus their attention on them.

Go ahead and innovate. It doesn’t have to be a patent-pending new product; it can be a new marketing program, a new way of doing business, or a product improvement.You can make a difference, and your new concept will likely spur others to generate new ideas! Until next issue, I wish you well, and God Bless Our Troops!

Earning the ISO 9001:2008 certification is a proud achievement exemplifying our commitment to providing custom solutions and quality services to our customers.

K-zell Metals, Inc., was established in Phoenix in October of 1986. The focus of the business is specialty fabrication and contract manufacturing.

Currently, K-zell Metals offers its customers a diverse array of capabilities.

K-zell Metals adds value to our customers’ products by performing one or more processes that the customer either lacks the time, equipment or expertise to perform.

Processing includes cutting (shear and laser), punching, forming (on press brakes or on plate/sheet rolls), tube bending, robotic and manual welding and polishing. Materials range from hot rolled mild steel to aluminum, bronze, stainless steels and some exotics. K-zell Metals, Inc. has invested in equipment, talent and process improvements and developed expertise that allows us to streamline fabrication in ways that most shops do not.

The customer base for K-zell Metals is quite broad. Some clients are manufacturers for which we produce completed components or subassemblies. For other customers we simply cut, punch or bend customer furnished material.This broad customer base and the ability to provide a wide range of fabrication capabilities, has allowed K-zell Metals to grow.

The Cyklos is the first of a new kind of surface treatment machine that can be installed in a standard mechanical workshop. Launched under the new,Yverdon, Switzerlandbased Cyklos SA company formed and owned by Tornos, this patented solution is completely unlike the traditional process that works using vertical immersion. The Cyklos works by rotating parts instead, thus guaranteeing superior quality.

The Cyklos was awarded the gold trophy at SIMODEC 2012 for its innovative technological concept and its positioning in the value chain for the production of surface-treated parts. And, in fact, a world-first was achieved with the installation of an anodizing machine at a professional trade show made possible thanks to Cyklos’ ‘zero waste’ capability.

Surface processing has traditionally been physically kept separated from machining.The size of the installations and buildings, the safety requirements, and the environmental hazards of the chemical processes refrained workshops, with a few exceptions, Announcements Continued Page 20

Announcements & Releases Continued from investing in and operating surface processing equipment inline with machining (even though most of the finished parts go through a surface processing step such as anodizing, phosphating, electroplating prior to delivery of finished parts to the customer).

As a consequence, there has historically been an interruption in the manufacturing flow of finished parts which greatly increases lead time, logistic costs and defect counts. Tornos tackles these three points simultaneously and enables a continuous manufacturing flow with the Cyklos solution, a unique technology combining a surface processing equipment in a compact, zero reject, high performance and low cost of ownership tool.

The Cyklos concept is based on a patented technology owned by Tornos in which parts are transported from bath to bath on small carriers which rotate as the parts move through the machine. Since typically hundreds of parts can be loaded on each carrier and a carrier can enter the machine every two minutes, the machine throughput can continuously process parts at a rate of one part per second. As each carrier undergoes the exact same processing sequence and since the process (chemicals, temperature, voltage, etc.) is entirely computer-controlled, the stability of the processing performances is ensured. Plus, the carrier performs several complete rotations in the processing baths, eliminating gas and non uniformities seen in existing electro-chemical processing solutions. Hence, the Cyklos technology achieves an unprecedented combination of productivity, stability, quality and uniformity.

Boeing achieves laser weapons breakthrough

The new system was developed in part through a $6 million contract under the DOD’s Robust Electric Laser Initiative. That program aims to design new solid-state lasers to replace chemical-based ones, which can be more complicated to deploy.

“Chemical lasers involve hard-to-handle chemicals and require cumbersome procedures for soldiers, whereas the ones under development are closed-loop, all-electronic systems, making them more mobile and supportable on the battlefield,” Rinn said.

Boeing will now seek DOD funding to package the laser system into a design that can be mounted on weapons such as a conventional deck gun on a Navy warship.

Rinn said the new system meets the test of achieving high brightness while simultaneously remaining efficient at higher power.

The technology basically combines individual, commercial lasers used by industry to create a much more powerful beam that can be applied for weapon use, Rinn said.

Boeing Co.’s Directed Energy Systems division in Albuquerque has developed a solid-state laser system that eventually could be used by the U.S. military to destroy IEDs, shoot down rockets and take out drones.

Boeing worked to retain the reliability and efficiency demonstrated in the original laser heads, which run continuously in industrial applications, while increasing the power and improving the beam.The company needed to reach 30 percent electricity-to-laser efficiency.

“Our team has shown that we have the necessary power, the beam quality and the efficiency to deliver such a system to the battlefield,” said Michael Rinn, the Directed Energy Systems division’s VP.

“We produced a 30 kilowatt laser with 90 kilowatts of electricity,” Rinn said. “Those are the military-utility-class numbers needed, and we achieved it.”

Poll Demonstrates Popular Support for Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) released new poll data, showing worldwide public perception of civil and commercial uses for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is unmistakably positive. The findings also indicate public opinion that governments should resolve challenges such as perceived privacy issues and UAS airspace regulations in order to increase non-military use. The Christian Science Monitor conducted the poll among its on-line readers.

“This poll demonstrates significant support for civilian UAS applications among the populace, both in America and internationally,” said AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey. “The U.S. aerospace industry is now escalating its role in supporting government actions that will provide extensive new benefits from UAS.” The poll findings include the following: Only 25 percent of the public is “very well aware” of current and potential non-military uses for UAS Border protection, law enforcement surveillance and search and rescue are the top three perceived, non-military uses for UAS 54 percent of the public favors increased non-military use of UAS (20 percent neutral, 27 percent opposed) Privacy and safety are the top issues the public wants government to resolve relative to UAS in order to increase civil use A2Z METALWORKER

26 •Sept/Oct 2013

UAS are currently in use in a wide variety of applications worldwide, from monitoring flooding in the Czech Republic to wildlife conservation efforts in South Africa. One area where the United States could see significant benefit is in fighting wildfires because UAS can fly in conditions where human pilots would be unable to see because of the conditions.

Safe integration of UAS into the national airspace system is a top priority for industry. “Unmanned aircraft are a natural complement to air traffic control developments like NextGen and SESAR,” said Aurora Flight Sciences Chairman and CEO John S. Langford. “The technology under development will actually make the skies safer for everyone.”

“UAS are the future of the aerospace and defense industry, but we need some serious changes in how we license these systems for export in order to compete for that business,” said Frank W. Pace, President, Aircraft Systems Group, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. “This poll shows public support for a broad range of applications; if we aren’t allowed to build and export these products, we’ll lose jobs and high-tech capabilities in our workforce.”

Research indicates the worldwide market for UAS over the next decade would exceed $89 billion and create more than 100,000 jobs.

Rayt h e o n h a s handed over a crucial cooling e q u i p m e n t unit (CEU) of the US forces’ Tr a n s p o r t a b l e R a d a r Sur veillance-2 (AN/TPY-2) radar to the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA), more than 14 months ahead of the original schedule.

The CEU delivery will provide the agency with a deployment-ready AN/TPY-2 radar system to help counter more than 6,300 ballistic missiles outside of US, Nato, Russian and Chinese control.

Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems business Global Integrated Sensors vice-president David Gulla said the AN/TPY-2 radar serves as a critical element in the protection against the growing ballistic missile threat.

“Giving MDA the flexibility to quickly deploy an additional, operationally-effective AN/TPY-2 is an important step towards meeting the growing demand for this vital radar,” Gulla said.

An integral element of the US Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), AN/TPY-2 is a high-resolution, X-band phased array radar, designed for long-range acquisition, precision tracking and discrimination of all ballistic missiles, from short-range to intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

“The AN/TPY-2 radar serves as a critical element in the protection against the growing ballistic missile threat.”

Capable of deploying globally in either terminal or forward-based mode, the radar functions as the search, detect, track, discrimination and fire-control radar for the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, enabling its missile to intercept and destroy incoming threats.

Taming hostile environments on or off the earth.

Pound by Pound!

When deployed in a forward-based mode, the radar cues BMDS through detection, discrimination and tracking of a ballistic missile close to the country of origin in ascent phase of flight, and provides data to the command and control battle management communications element for destruction, if deemed hostile.

A full inventory of Nickel, Cobalt, Stainless, Titanium Alloys including, 718, 625, 321, 347, Alloy X and 6AL4V

The forward-based AN/TPY-2 radars are currently defending the US deployed troops and allies against ballistic missile attacks in Japan, Israel and Turkey.

Proudly Certifies to ISO9001/AS9100 Revision C With The Help of Consultant BMSC!

You’ll just have to get over yourselves”, Kari recalls Bretta telling her with a chuckle. Kari and Rod met Bretta at a hotel in Phoenix last year.The two co-owners Kari and Rod Mitchell were visiting a customer in Phoenix when Kari read through the A2Z Metalworker magazine, one that featured BMSC’s Bretta Kelly on the cover. Kari says, “We knew that to take our company to the next level, we would have to certify to ISO9001/AS9100 and there she was on the cover.” Kari read the article about the company Bretta had helped to certify, and she says, “This company sounded like they were about our size, and I connected with how Bretta had helped them.

She was just what we needed.” Rod and Kari called Bretta immediately, and Bretta met them at their hotel.

Kari says, “Bretta showed us that we were trying to make it too difficult.You don’t have to be the perfect business before you begin the ISO certification process. In the machining environment, things are always changing as the industry responds to technological advancements and offshoring. There are always new improvements to aspire to. The system Bretta developed ensures you identify where you should focus your improvement efforts.

With ISO/AS9100 certification, Bretta made it clear, document where you are today, and you use the processes you put into place to drive continual improvements.”

Kari and Rod met in college living in Colorado, where the two had grown up. Kari earned a degree in business and Rod, a degree in mechanical engineering. The two were moved to Houston when Rod took a job working for Dow Chemical. During his 10 years at Dow in engineer design, Rod was a customer of machine shops, both internal and external. This, coupled with his experience fixing machines all of his childhood while working on a farm, set the stage for Kari and Rod’s next career move their life plan of owning their own business, and they decided it would be a machine shop.

They found it in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The company was called Las Cruces Machine. That was in 2000. The company had 25 years of experience, having been founded in 1975.

Rod says, “We liked the location; Las Cruces is on the corridor where I-10 and I-25 intersect creating convenient transit to the Southwest, and much of the US. There aren’t many places in the US that you can be in two states and two countries in less than an hour drive (Las Cruces machine is 45 minutes to El Paso,Texas, less than 3 hours to Albuquerque, New Mexico).

This is very convenient for large US manufacturers with operations in Mexico,Texas, Phoenix, and California.” “Plus”, he continued, “Las Cruces, New Mexico has a lower cost of living versus its surrounding states and other parts of the country.We knew this would enable us to provide very competitive pricing for our customers.”

Kari added, “Given our location, we’ve had to compete with Mexico and other offshore competitors. Our aerospace clients have enjoyed our high precision capabilities, while benefiting from lower lead times, and cutting overall costs.We’ve been effective in working with our clients to reduce inventory levels and lead time due to offshoring constraints they may have incurred. Our central Mexican border location is just minutes away from North America’s largest maquiladora market, which encompasses El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico. Las Cruces Machine can provide just-in-time delivery of parts, made to the highest quality standards, we have been able to provide notable annual savings to our customers bottom line.”

While Las Cruces Machine was a successful entity when the Mitchell’s

purchased it, Rod says the company’s customer base was not very diverse and was mostly made up of two customers. Rod immediately went to work on gaining new customers; today, the company is diverse ensuring no industry sector or customer represents more than 25% of the customer base. While some of the business is directed to Mexico, LCMME supplies companies from all over the United States.

The diverse industries they support range from aerospace to medical, automotive, energy, and gaming machines.

With Rod’s previous customer experience and strong engineering design experience, the Mitchell’s wanted to capitalize on this skill to offer more services for their customers. Rod says, “We immediately changed the name of the company from Las Cruces Machine to Las Cruces Machine, Manufacturing & Engineering, or LCMME, for short.”

Companies value LCMME for their engineering support. Rod says that they have helped companies with product redesign for better manufacturability. Today, he and key members of the team are invited to participate in a few of their customer’s design process early on.

Today, LCMME is a highly credentialed and capable company. In addition to being AS9100C/IS9001: 2009 certified, it is also certified as a Woman-Owned company and maintains its DDTC certification. LCMME occupies more than 40,000 square foot of space, with nearly 40 employees and three shifts. They are an A+ supplier (with Gold Supplier status with a number of their customers) and predominately known for their high quality, and excellent customer service.

Rod believes that to turn out great parts, you need superior machinery. He says, “Our shop is a Mori Seiki and Tsugami shop. Not only are these great machines, but also we like sticking with a few superior brands for consistency. We don’t want our people having to learn new controls and machining whenever we bring in a new machine.”

Las Cruces has been good for the Mitchells, they will admit. It’s been a good place to bring up their boys, Josh (15) and Jeremiah (11).The entrepreneurial spirit is evident in the two young men, who recently opened a business called J&J Vending. The company supplies vending equipment and the vending consumables to their customers.While today they have one account, they are working to increase their supplier base throughout the industrial park where their business is located.

While Las Cruces is good for the Mitchells, the Mitchells are really very good for not just Las Cruces, but all of New Mexico. Kari founded and sits on the board of ‘The Bridge of Southern New Mexico’, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit association, that connects educational success for students in New Mexico with building a stronger future workforce for the future and the ultimate goal of long-term economic development.And entering its 4th year as an entity, it is achieving some staggering success: Here’s an impressive statistic —The Arrowhead Park Early College High School is a high school without one dropout, though 60% of the students, who were chosen via a lottery system, come from economically disadvantaged homes.

Kari says, “I feel compelled to do what I can do to help improve the educational system in New Mexico so that we develop students who are able to participate successfully in the workforce tomorrow. The Bridge of Southern New Mexico was founded with the help of educators and industry leaders, all working together.”

Kari is extremely involved with other workforce and educational associations. She A2Z METALWORKER

• 31 •Sept/Oct 2013

is a Past Chairman of Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance, and just last year, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez appointed Kari Mitchell to the New Mexico State University Board of Regents.

Kari isn’t the only family member helping to make New Mexico a better place. Rod is working with the NationalTooling and Machining Association (NTMA) to found a chapter in New Mexico. Rod says, “The manufacturers in New Mexico could all benefit from this association, as their mission is to help the U.S. precision custom manufacturing industry achieve profitable growth and business success in a global economy through advocacy, advice, education, networking, information, programs and services.”

Back to LCMME’s latest accomplishment. While they began the process more than a year ago with BMSC’s Bretta Kelly, they put it on hold until February of this year. Kari says, “The actual process to prepare for certification took less than 4 months. Bretta was outstanding! She not only helps you to get this incredibly simplified but highly effective system, but she really helps keep you from getting caught up with ineffective things that are time wasters.” She continued, “We benefit from the depth of experiences Bretta gets from other engagements, and her vast expertise.” In fact, LCMME has engaged BMSC with their ‘maintenance service’, where each 6 months BMSC’s Debbie Hart and Bretta Kelly will perform internal audits and facilitate management reviews.

Bretta says, “Kari and Rod didn’t want to certify to ISO9001/AS9100 just to have that paper that would enable new customers, particularly aerospace customers. Rather, they gave much thought to every piece of the implementation, they didn’t want short cuts, and they wanted to do it right.” She continued, “In fact, most small manufacturing companies will send one person at the most to the ‘Lead Auditor Training’. Kari and Rod sent 3, their quality manager Kim Sommers and themselves.This is just outstanding.”

Kari and Rod are both driven by metrics. Kari wanted to improve the company’s OnTime Delivery statistics, which ISO9001/AS9100 processes revealed as an area for improvement. Kari says, “There are a myriad of reasons why a company isn’t on-time with a delivery. We recorded all of the reasons over the course of a few months, and we found that, while some were outside of our control, there were a number of things we needed to immediately address internally. For example the data tracking revealed that machine down time for repair was longer than industry standard.” Rod says, “We hired a full time machine maintenance employee, and we are seeing direct benefits from improved machine up-time.” The company continues to aggressively work through each area of deficiency identified until OTD reaches the status of excellent from the customers’ perspective.

Employee engagement is critical to the Mitchells. Taking employee inputs to a higher level, co-owners meet personally with every employee in groups of 3-4 a few times a year to determine what works, what doesn’t, and to solicit creative ideas to improve the company. Kari says, “The first time we did this, the employee input list was almost 250 items long. All of inputs were placed on a spreadsheet, categorized, and prioritized.

We picked 5 items at a time that becomes the companies “to do list” or as it is call internally, the ‘Hopper List’. This ensures we remain accountable to our workforce to address improvements as well as to our customers. Kari says having skilled employees is a top priority of the company. She says, “We are always seeking talent to add to our LCMME family. “ Call BMSC for ISO9001:2008 or AS9100/ISO 9001 consulting help.You can reach them at 602-445-9400 or visit their website (BusinessMSC.com).

U.S. economic expansion outstrips forecasts The U.S. gross domestic product rose 1.7% in the second quarter, higher than what most experts expected. Accelerating consumer spending on durable goods and rising business investment in equipment and construction projects suggest that growth stands a good chance of continuing the rest of the year.

The effects of higher taxes and reduced government spending seem to be fading away.

U S A r my n e a r s completion of M-DSA installation on Apache helicopter The installation of Lockheed Martin’s modernized day sensor assembly (M-DSA) system onto the US Army’s AH-64E Block III Apache attack helicopter is nearing completion, US Army Apache sensors project manager lieutenant colonel Steve Van Riper has revealed.

Riper was quoted by FlightGlobal as saying that the army is currently in the final stages of integration and development with the M-DSA system.

The installation of the first M-DSA sensor on board an Apache test A2Z METALWORKER

helicopter is anticipated to take place in November 2013, Riper said.

Testing and operational evaluations of the test aircraft are planned for January 2014, whereas the sensor is expected to become operational in 2018.

Installed as part of a three-phase upgrade to the Apache’s Lockheed-built modernised target acquisition designation sight/pilot night vision sensor (M-TADS/PNVS) suite, the M-DSA is designed to add high-definition colour video capability to the helicopter’s sensor suite.

Capable of designating a laser aim point for the Hellfire II missiles, M-DSA system will primarily serve as the chief targeting aid for the Apache helicopter, by establishing the target range for accurate weapon aiming.

“The M-DSA system will primarily serve as the chief targeting aid for the Apache helicopter.”

The system will specifically mitigate obsolescence issues of M-TADS/ PNVS system, while enhancing its reliability, maintainability and performance.

The first and second phase upgrades involved integration of an improved laser range finder designator (LRFD) and M-DSA respectively, whereas the final phase will feature an addition of a training laser.

US Army Apache project manager colonel Jeff Hager said there are no immediate planned upgrades for the forward-looking infrared (FLIR) component of the M-TADS/PNVS system.

“At this time, the user determined to maintain the infrared as a system as it is today,” Hager said.

Also known as Arrowhead, M-TADS/PNVS is an advanced electrooptical fire control system designed to provide pilots with longrange, electro-optical precision engagement and flying targeting capabilities for conducting day, night and adverse-weather missions.

Apple’s New Patent Could Introduce Liquid Metal to Mobile Market

Apple may apply the material to even larger objects.

The material is a group of alloys that have an atomic structure more similar to glass, but more superior in strength, hardness and elasticity as well as resistance to corrosion and wear. For Apple this means thinner, lighter, stronger parts. So Apple may be apply this material in its next line of iPhone and iPad, which could be lighter or have more room for other components.

In late July, a newly issued patent for a “Bulk amorphous alloy sheet forming process” was awarded. The patent covers a process for creating a sheet of Liquidmetal by pouring molten alloy on top of a denser molten metal so that the first pools on top of the other, and then cools.

Raytheon gets $200 million contract for missile work in Arizona Raytheon Co.’s Arizona-based missile division has received a $200.5 million weapons order from the U.S. military and five U.S. allies including Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Apple is looking to incorporate 3D printing liquid metal into its products, with the help of partner company Liquidmetal Technologies, whose patented fabrication processing rights were bought by Apple in 2010. The tech giant therefore holds the exclusive license for the development and sale of the processed liquid alloys.

The U.S. Defense Department announced the contract today. It is for AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missile as well as air-to-air training missiles.

Your next iPhone, iPad or even iWatch could potentially be encased in this printed alloy. As the technology develops, it’s possible that

The bulk of the work will be done at Raytheon’s 10,000-worker missile division in Tucson.

Raytheon will provide 532 missiles total to the U.S. Navy and Air Force as well as the governments of Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, according to the Pentagon’s contract announcement.

The company was established in April of 1965, and in part, it owes its humble beginnings to a man named Harrison Browning, then owner of Arizona Gear. Abrams founder Harold L. “Bud” Abrams had come back from the war as a captain, and subsequently spent years working for sheet metal shops in Tucson. He and his wife Barbara wanted to start their own company, but they couldn’t get any banks to help fund the start-up. Harrison knew Bud well, respected his abilities (he was a genius non-degreed engineer), and co-signed a loan for $50,000 so that the Abrams couple could get started.

Bud appreciated the confidence shown by Harrison, and dedicated himself to building a quality company, and that is just what he did. Today the company, with approximately 200 employees, embraces generosity and ethics, and it is believed that these values stem, partially, from the company’s humble beginning. The woman-owned company is headed by Barbara Abrams, who today is 87 years young. Bud and Barbara’s children Gary, Jenny, and nephew Chris, actively manage the business. Chris’ son Dustin and Jenny’s daughter Calley are all involved with day to day operation of the business, making this a 3rd generational family business. All are pictured in front of the world map on the next page, with the exception of Jenny and Barbara. The Abrams’ team believes in giving back to the community. They make a concerted effort to hire our country’s Veterans, and today there are more than 40 Veterans working at Abrams. They hire help for inventory through the Beacon Foundation, a labor pool of developmentally disabled persons. In fact, they received the “Employer of theYear” award some years ago from the Beacon Foundation, and to their knowledge, they are one of the only companies that pays these seasonal workers a fair market wage.

Gary Abrams, says, “Many family-owned businesses fail as they are passed down generation to generation. However, we’ve been blessed in facilitating a business that continues to grow each year. My sister and cousin have instilled in their children a respect for what we do here at Abrams.

Both Calley and Dustin share the same passion for our company, and the work we do, that Bud and Barbara have passed down to Chris, Jenny and me.” He continued, “Our employees almost exclusively come from associations we’ve had, and the friends we bring into the company bring their friends and family members.”

Calley joined the company full time after she graduated from the University of Arizona. She says, “We’ve expanded the business through acquisitions, with our purchase of Vltor Weapon Systems in 2004, and more recently, in 2006, Milkor USA, giving us the ability to manufacture complete branded products in-house.”

Vltor Weapon Systems began by selling tens of thousands of weapon accessories, like the popular Modstocks to U.S. Military, Law Enforcement and the rest of the world. Vltor now sells an extensive line of small caliber weapons, weapons accessories, and specialized equipment all around the globe.

Milkor USA manufactures several models of the hand-held, semi-automatic, revolving action, and 40mm multi-shot grenade launchers providing a high volume of fire, made in the USA. The original M32, MK14-MOD 0 and the new M32A1 all tested and qualified according to MILSTDs, they have seen action in crowd control, peacekeeping missions and proven in combat operations around the world.

The company anticipated that sequestration could impact their business, and thus set up a team to begin selling Abrams’ products internationally. They are now selling small arms to a number of customers throughout the world.

The team at Abrams is extremely patriotic, and until recently, their machine tools purchases were A2Z METALWORKER

all made with manufacturers in the United States, including Haas Automation, Inc., the world’s largest CNC machine tool manufacturer, with all manufactur ing done in California. Ellison Machinery Co. carries the Haas line, as well as, the Mori Seiki line, among others.

Gary says, “We have been wo r k i n g w i t h E l l i s o n Machinery Co. for more than 20 years now. We have always enjoyed working with the Ellison Machinery Co. team, but since Patrick Ellison took over the company a few years ago, it has gotten even better. Patrick and our Sales Engineer, Jason McCurdy, are golden.

They consistently bend over backwards to support us.” He continued, “ They’ve gone from a typical supplier to a partner that you want to do business with.”

Wes Wright, long term employee, agrees with Gary and says, “We don’t look at other machine tool dealers when Ellison Machinery has a machine that fits our requirements.

When we evaluate the support we receive from ‘the dynamic duo’ (e.g. Patrick and Jason), there is just no reason to look elsewhere”. Gary says, “Ellison Machinery is an A+ supplier, and when you have a partner like this, you just don’t move around to save a few dollars.”

While it was difficult for Gary to agree to purchase the first Mori Seiki machine, given his strong propensity to buy American made, his team convinced him that the Mori Seiki was what Abrams needed for some of the complex products and parts Abrams was building. And Gary agrees that Abrams has been very satisfied with their Mori Seiki’s, and the service Mori Seiki provides. Wes says, “We needed a part on our Mori machine, and it came to us next day -- all the way from Japan.” Gary says technically it was the same day, given the time difference! Wes continued, “And in this business, down time can crush any profits in the job faster than anything else, so having a part turn around that quickly makes a tremendous difference to us!”

Jason says, “Abram’s latest Mori Seiki purchase was a 14 Carrier Pallet Pool System including 2 NHX4000 horizontal machines.This is currently the largest Mori Seiki System in Arizona!

The NHX4000, which is now manufactured in the new Mori Seiki Facility in Davis, CA has become an industry standard and is quickly becoming a huge part of our business here in Arizona. By opening a facility here on US soil in 2012 Mori Seiki has been able to provide the same exceptional quality that we have come to expect but at more affordable prices than ever. Mori Seiki has chosen to make the horizontal market a primary focus going forward and by moving the production of these machines to the United States they feel it gives them the advantage they need to do just that.The new NHX High/Precision Horizontal Machine Centers provide the speed and precision demanded in today’s horizontal market by using a highly reliable and rigid spindle combined with a thick, robust bed.”

“By investing in the Mori Seiki carrier pallet pool system and partnering with Ellison Machinery,”Wes says, “Our debur and blending time was reduced by 2/3 and we increased our part production each week by 15-18%.” Wes concluded by summing up the Ellison/ Abrams relationship, as “one of hard earned trust that has been proven out through efficiency.”

BAE tests WNW anti-jam mode for Phoenix radios

BAE Systems has successfully carried out over-the-air testing of its mid-tier Phoenix networking radios at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Conducted as part of a cooperative research and development agreement with the US Ar my, the trial had demonstrated the radio's ability to securely and reliably transmit battlefield infor mation through wideband networking waveform (WNW) antijam (AJ) modes.

BAE Systems Networked Communications director Christopher Ager said protection of tactical communications was of cr itical importance to sustainment of battlefield advantage.

"During this testing, each Phoenix radio successfully and securely communicated across uneven terrain," Ager said.

Introduced in October 2012 in response to the army's request for proposal (RFP) for a non-developmental mid-tier networking vehicular radio (MNVR) solution, Phoenix radios are designed to provide secure, jam-resistant communications between headquarters and dismounted soldiers.

"Each Phoenix radio successfully and

1974 Bucktail Lane • Sugar Grove, IL 80554 1-888-289-3367 • www.EDMNetwork.com inf@EDMNetwork.com securely communicated across uneven terrain."

Available in three variants, including Phoenix-SC, 2C, and 4C, the high-throughput radio is capable of operating both next-generation, government-owned WNW and the soldier radio waveform (SRW) for use in multiple configurations.

Designed using commercial technology, the off-the-shelf radio system features a small size and lowweight, with a power design to support easy integration with existing radio space present on the army's ground combat vehicles (GCVs).

Capable of simplifying end-user training and adoption processes, the radio also demonstrates full interoperability with the Department of Defense's (DoD) existing joint tactical radio systems (JTRS).

Phoenix-2C radio has already demonstrated tactical networking capabilities by allowing soldiers to communicate over 20km in moving vehicles, which is double the mid-tier network requirement, during exercises at Fort Huachuca in Arizona, US, in November 2012.Meanwhile, additional WNW-AJ tests on networks of up to 30 nodes are expected to take place in the coming months.

Boeing awarded $92 million contract for sale of helicopters to Taiwan Boeing Co. has been awarded a $92 million modification to an existing Army contract for the procurement of Block III AH-64D helicopters and support services. The contract is for foreign military sales to Taiwan.

The change brings the contract’s total value to $716 million. The contract was awarded by Army Contracting Command.

Oshkosh delivers first JLTV prototype for government testing The US military has taken delivery of the first joint light tactical vehicle (JLTV) prototype from Oshkosh Defense for the US Government’s comprehensive testing and evaluation program.

also safeguard soldiers for decades to come.

“The Oshkosh JLTV solution we are now submitting for government testing transforms the concept of what a light vehicle can be - merging key design aspects of high-performance tactical vehicles and highly survivable combat vehicles. The result is a new level of protected mobility in a light platform,’’ Urias said.

Manufactured on the company’s active manufacturing line, alongside its tactical wheeled vehicles (TWV), the prototypes include a fourdoor multi-purpose variant and two-door utility variant.

The company has offered its light combat tactical all-terrain vehicle (L-ATV) for the multi-billion dollar JLTV programme, which seeks to replace the US Army and Marine Corps’ existing and ageing highmobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV) fleet, which have served in combat for more than 25 years.

Both versions feature common crew protection and advanced automotive systems, as well as the patented Oshkosh TAK-4i intelligent independent suspension system, to offer enhanced levels of protection and off-road performance in a light vehicle.

Oshkosh is developing 22 JLTV prototypes as part of the program’s $56.4m engineering, manufacturing and development (EMD) contract awarded by the US Army in August 2012.

The company will also deliver required training and support for the vehicles as they are accepted and validated by the government.

Oshkosh Defense president John Urias said the JLTV is designed to fill a critical capabilities gap in the military’s light vehicle fleet and

Lockheed Martin and AM General are the other two companies bidding for the JLTV contract.

The May report shows that 63% of participants predict that economic activity will remain unchanged during the next three months (up from 56% in April), 23% believe that activity will improve (down from 28% in April) and 14% forecast that activity will decline (compared to 16% in April).

Metalforming companies expect little change in incoming orders during the next three months, with 34% anticipating an increase in orders (down from 37% in April), 47% predicting no change (compared to 42% last month) and 19% expecting a decrease in orders (down from 21% in April).

Average daily shipping levels increased in May. Forty-one percent of participants report that shipping levels are above levels of three months ago (up from 34% in April), 41% report that shipping levels are the same as three months ago (compared to 44% in April), and 18% report a decrease in shipping levels (down from 22% in April).

The percentage of metalforming companies with a portion of their workforce on short time or layoff dipped to 11% in May, down from 14% in April. The May figure is similar to one year ago, when 10% of metalformers reported workers on short time or layoff.

“Suppliers of metal parts and assemblies experienced modest gains in orders during the first quarter of 2013, but suffered a 6% decrease in shipments compared to March 2012,” said William E. Gaskin, PMA president. “The automotive market is the sector with the strongest shipments, but most other markets have leveled off or declined somewhat from levels consistent with 2012. Expectations for the balance of the year rest on whether Congress and the President are able to address the critical budget and tax issues faced by all manufacturers.

Congress and the President need to set aside their partisan differences and take action to ensure that the manufacturing sector continues to grow.”

The monthly Business Conditions Report has been conducted by PMA since 1979. Full report results are available at http://www.pma.org/ public/business_reports/pdf/BCREP.pdf. PMA is the full-service trade association representing the $113-billion metalforming industry of North America—the industry that creates precision metal products using stamping, fabricating, spinning, slide forming and roll forming technologies, and other value-added processes.

Embraer: Global Excutive Jet Sales May Return to 2008 Highs as Soon as 2016 Plane maker Embraer sees signs of robustness in the executive aviation market, but expects sales to improve only when confidence returns, chief operations officer Marco Tulio Pellegrini said Tuesday.

Corporate profits are improving globally--and especially in the U.S., the world’s biggest business jet market--but companies are still cautious when making investments such as buying planes, Mr. Pellegrini told reporters.

“Corporate profits are the highest ever and companies have available cash. All that’s missing is investor confidence,” he said.

Global sales of executive planes could return to the highs seen in 2008 as soon as 2016, Mr Pellegrini said. That would generate sales of about 9,250 planes in the next 10 years, with a total market value of $250 billion.

In a less optimistic scenario, where the global economy slows again, sales would return to 2008 levels--when about 1,200 jets were delivered-only in 2020, he said.

Mr Pellegrini still sees a lot of promise in the Brazilian market, the world’s second biggest. Embraer, which controls about 40% of the market here, expects to hold on to that share or expand it as the market continues to grow. Although Brazil’s economy has disappointed in recent quarters--and is expected to grow a bit more than 2% this year--Mr. Pellegrini said that should still be enough to drive sales.

Still, he admits business jet sales haven’t been as strong as expected.

“We thought 2013 would be better than 2012, but that’s not happening.

We’re hoping 2014 will be better.”

He also held out high hopes for the company’s newest plane, the Legacy 500, on display at the Labace air show, which takes place this week in Sao Paulo.

“The Legacy 500 should be a game changer,” he said. “We expect the Legacy 500 to give us a lot of market share.”

Medtronic Purchases CardiocomTo Expand Into Remote Monitoring Of Patients The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Medtronic’s purchase of Cardiocom for $200 million, as part of its effort toward becoming “a health care service provider.” Cardiocom has developed technology for “remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases” including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and respiratory diseases.

The AP reports that Medtronic said that the purchase will enable it to expand into “broader health care services” with an initial effort in “heart failure, where the addition of Cardiocom’s technology and services will expand its reach to more patients.”

Satowfi

Machining Solutions LLC

Satowfi Machining Solutions believes in buying high quality, new machines. And they made their first purchase with Magnum Precision Machines just about 3 years ago because of a service. Just this past month, they made their next two purchases with Magnum Precision Machines because of service and superior, flexible financing.

Co-owners Brian Wing and Mike Eckendorf opened for business in 2004 because the two believed they had higher potential. Each had more than 2 decades of experience in the manufacturing industry, and Brian supplemented this with undergraduate and masters’ degrees, with separate degrees in both manufacturing and industrial engineering.

Mike and Brian knew when they started this venture it would require long hours and hard work. Both grew up in manufacturing and the two instinctively think outside the box. Brian prior to moving to Arizona was a full time manufacturing engineer and owned and operated a full time commercial fishing business. Mike is an accomplished machinist, programmer and had experience as a supervisor in the machine shop at Allied Signal. Both Brian and Mike are hands-on, and they are very active in all aspects of their machine shop because this is their passion. Mike says, “We strive to bring into our shop new less experienced employees and mentor them, and as a result we have retained superior machinists trained by us.”

Customer support was just one of the reasons Satowfi’s next machine tool purchases were a Mazak and a Hyd-Mech CNC Dual Column Saw, purchased from Magnum Precision Machines. Brian and Mike have been very pleased with the Mazak Quick Turn NEXUS (QTN250) lathe they purchased a few years ago from Magnum Precision Machines. And they value the service Magnum provides to them, particularly from Magnum employees Stan Asher and Randy Smith. Brian says, “The service team is knowledgeable, professional, and they do a great job. I have a machine that I purchased from another machine tool dealer, and when they let their service department go, I knew I wouldn’t purchase another machine from them.” But when it came time to purchase a new machine recently, they still evaluated several different machine tool options.

Brian says, “Jeff Trimble is more than just a salesman. Jeff owned his own machine shop and a machine tool distributorship for many years prior to working for Magnum Precision Machines. So when we required a new machine tool in a very short period of time, we only had to spend 30 minutes with Jeff describing our process and the required parameters.The machine tool had to reduce our current cycle times by a minimum of 50 percent, it had to have the ability to remove a large volume of chips quickly, and it had to accomplish all this without compromising quality. Between his diligence and his knowledge, the machine tool he chose to offer us was a Mazak, a Nexus VCN 510C-II, with such features as 12,000-RPM Spindle, A2Z METALWORKER

swing-arm tool changer, and high-pressure coolant through the spindle, cold air blast for dry machining,Tool Life management system, Automatic tool setter, dual probing and large volume chip removal system. The control has a large memory and part program storage system allowing for all of the surfacing programs to be stored and run from a hard drive. With the addition of this machine tool we can now swap from manufacturing any one of the 17 parts in that 4 machine cell simply by calling up the program, and it has given us the ability to eliminate all set-ups in this cell. Now we are able to manufacture small quantities as cost effectively as large quantities.”

Jeff says the Nexus VCN 510C machine, which is built in the United States, in Florence, KY, is built with more productivity-enhancing features than any other verticals in its class. This makes them an incredible value for shops large and small. Packed with 30 tools, a variety of work pieces can be machined without changing the tool setup.

He adds, “The Mazatrol Matrix CNC control features the simplest, smartest conversational programming or EIA Programming using M codes and G codes complete with monitoring and diagnostics. These verticals are an exceptional value that can improve your productivity and increase your profit potential.”

Brian says, “Jeff continues to work closely with us to aid us in maximizing our potential, I asked Jeff to price me out a saw that I had been researching, and he came back with a different saw than the one I had wanted.” Brian continued, “Jeff told me that he really didn’t want to sell me the other saw, that he had a CNC Dual Column 230 Shark Hyd-Mech that is competitively priced to the one I had been researching.

Jeff felt that for what I was trying to accomplish this was the better fit.

Because of the relationship that we have developed over the past 3 years we felt very confident going with Jeff’s recommendation.”

Brian elaborated, “The Hyd-Mech saw accomplishes in one day what usually took us two weeks to complete. The Hyd-Mech is able to

maintain such a close cut off tolerance that we began reducing are blank lengths and realized an immediate savings on material and cycle times.

On our first saw job we used to consume 10 bars of 2-inch diameter 304 Stainless Steel, with the blank size reduction and accuracy we now only consume 9 bars. Mike immediately envisioned even greater potential and has begun booking several sawing only jobs for new customers.”

Business has been good for Satowfi. Mike and Brian admit that their triple digit growth year over year since they opened for business is not just attributed to their ability to make high quality parts on time (100% quality report cards for several years with many customers), but also to their ability and willingness to make parts inexpensively for their customers. Brian says, “Our customers often tell us that we are very cost competitive, especially for difficult to machine parts. And the only way we can keep this up is to continue to improve our technology, thereby facilitating great parts made economically.”

Despite their growth, and the two partners willingness to continually invest back into the company, working with banks on financing has been cumbersome. Brian says, “Mazak has been exceptional in providing us with great, flexible funding for our machines” Mike added, “Mazak’s financing just takes so much burden off of our shoulders.”

What’s next for this superior machine shop that makes production parts for a variety of industries, including aerospace, medical, semiconductor and automotive? Brian says he is working on ISO9001/AS9100 certification, which the partners expect to achieve by year-end.To learn more about what they can do for you, contact them at 480-374-5706 or visit www.satowfi.com.

After six year s of development, the Navy will issue a key contract — possibly within the next 30 days — to begin building its nextgeneration bomb disposal robot.

The issuance of a request for proposals to find a contractor for the final integration and production of the first of three planned models of the Advanced Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robotic System is “imminent,” said Byron Brezina, the system’s program manager.

Work began in 2006 on fielding a fourth-generation bomb disposal robot when the Navy began studying what it needed for a new system.

Prior to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, the Navy had a program of record for a large robot that had to be transported by truck. The roadside bomb scourge prompted the service to rapidly acquire two smaller robots “off the shelf ” from manufacturers iRobot and FosterMiller, which was eventually acquired by QinetiQ North America.

These two models have performed admirably, Brezina said. More than 300 of them have been destroyed in combat, each one representing a life saved, he said. However, the two robots came with no common parts. Each had its own expensive logistics tail.

Integrating new features or tools into their operating systems is costly and time consuming, he added.

The Navy decided to take a different approach to acquiring the next generation of robots. Instead of choosing a winner-take-all vendor, it would take components from a variety of suppliers and integrate them into an open architecture, with a common operating system.

A contractor would be chosen to integrate the components and manufacture the robot.

The first robot will be a small backpackable system weighing about 35 pounds. A medium, heavier duty robot at about 164 pounds that will have to be transported by truck, and a 750-pound machine intended for base and infrastructure protection in fixed sites will soon follow, he said. The three systems will have a common architecture, parts and controllers.

The small robot will have nine subcomponents to be integrated such as the chassis, manipulator arms, vision and autonomy software.The larger versions will have about 12 or 13 modules.

There will be ongoing competitions to improve and add components as technology advances and threats change. There will not be any sole source contractors.

The RFP for the prime integrator for the small robot will come within the next 30 days. John Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Lab is managing the medium and large robot programs.

Delcam Introduces Vortex, Its Latest High Speed Roughing Technology This allows you to achieve the optimum cutting conditions that would normally be possible only for the straight-line moves across the entire toolpath As a result, you can reduce machining times by up to 60%, with more consistent material removal rates and feed rate.

Efficiency Vortex toolpaths are calculated to follow the shape of the part by creating offsets from the part profile.This minimizes air moves for more efficient machining of both pockets and cores. Unlike other high speed roughing technologies focused only on 2D roughing of cavities, Vortex can be applied to a variety of machining applications, including 2-axis, 3-axis, positional 5-axis machining and even rest roughing operations.

Because Vortex toolpaths have a controlled engagement angle, tools will never be overloaded and so will achieve the maximum tool life. Shock loading caused by changes in the contact angle is eliminated, preventing chipping of the flutes.

Longer Tool Life

Vortex: Reduce your machining times by up to 60% Are you looking for a roughing strategy that: Gets the most out of your machine? Reduces machining times by up to 60%? Maximizes your material removal rate? Machines your part as efficiently as possible? Increases your tool life? Is completely optimized for your machine tool?

Vortex is Delcam’s latest patent pending high speed roughing technology.

Conventional roughing strategies significantly reduce feed rates and spindle speeds when machining internal corners. Vortex controls the tool engagement angle to maintain the optimum cutting conditions throughout the toolpath, reducing cycle times and maximizing tool life.

The stability of the cutting conditions gives constant edge temperatures prolonging the life of the tool coating and protecting against heat damage to the surface of the part.The ability to use step downs of up to two, or even three, times the tool diameter spreads the tool wear evenly over the cutting surface of the tool, again contributing to longer tool life.

Ease of Use Vortex has been seamlessly integrated within Delcam’s existing CAM software meaning applying a Vortex strategy is as easy as applying any other roughing strategy. MachineDNA also reduces the effect of human error by calibrating your machine tools and feeding this information back into your CAM program.

Features Controlled Engagement Angle

Vortex also uses deeper cuts machining with the full flute length as the cutting surface, maximizing the tools usage. Designed for Solid Carbide Tooling it integrates seamlessly with PowerMILL, FeatureCAM, PartMaker and Delcam for SolidWorks.

Optimization Vortex addresses the fundamental problem of conventional roughing strategies that can only achieve the optimum cutting conditions during a straight-line cut. Unlike other high speed roughing techniques that aim to maintain a constant theoretical metal removal rate, the Vortex strategy produces toolpaths with a controlled engagement angle for the complete operation.

Vortex is Delcam’s latest patent pending high speed roughing technology.

Vortex controls the maximum engagement angle of the cutter in the material, such that the angle calculated for the programmed step over is never exceeded, even in internal corners. This allows for optimal cutting conditions to be maintained throughout the toolpath.

By controlling the maximum engagement angle and the load on the tool, Vortex can take deeper cuts than traditionally used in roughing

operations. Depths of cut up to the full flute length enable maximum material removal rate from solid carbide tooling and reduce machining times by up to 60%. Vortex technology can be applied to 2 and 3-axis roughing, positional 5-axis roughing and for rest roughing.

unnecessary techniques for moating or bridging. These offsets are then grouped and ordered efficiently to reduce the number of trochoids required while still controlling the engagement angle.This is particularly beneficial for rest roughing with smaller tools when there is only a small amount of material to be removed.

In comparison, when conventional roughing the feed rate is often reduced in internal corners to compensate for the increased engagement angle which in turn increases the forces on the tool. Reducing the feed rate leads to longer machining times.

In addition,Vortex automatically removes any toolpath segments when a slot or channel is too narrow to be efficiently and safely machined using the trochoidal method.

Increased Tool Life

Seamless Integration

Vortex significantly increases tool life and reduces tooling costs.

Customer tests have proven that in many cases a single Vortex roughing strategy can replace several conventional strategies, thus reducing the number of tools required for roughing.

Vortex and MachineDNA are integrated across Delcam’s entire CAM software product range. Applying a Vortex roughing strategy is as easy as using any other roughing strategy.Vortex toolpaths can be enhanced even further with the integration of MachineDNA, which optimizes the strategy for your specific machine tools

Cutting trials have demonstrated that Vortex greatly extends tool life. Consistent cutting forces on the tool help to reduce tool wear. In addition this tool wear is spread evenly across the full flute length. The controlled engagement angle also ensures the tool is never suddenly overloaded, eliminating any chance of premature tool failure or chipping of the cutting edge.

In addition, stable cutting conditions give a more constant edge temperature, prolonging the life of the tool coating and protecting against heat damage to the surface of the part.

The benefits to tool life from Vortex can even be heard on the machine.

Vortex produces a constant pitch while machining, indicating that the tool is operating under consistent load and cutting conditions.

In comparison, conventional roughing will often produce sounds of varying pitch indicating constantly changing load on the tool (e.g. tool chatter in corners).

Not only will you be able to hear the difference, you’ll be able to see the difference. Vortex produces chips with a regular size and thickness, providing further evidence of the consistency of the cut.

Step Cutting

Delcam’s step-cutting functionality can be combined with Vortex to produce a single toolpath that quickly and efficiently roughs the part without leaving any large terraces that would typically require a separate operation. After machining an initial step down up to full flute length, the tool will step back up the part to remove the rest material before commencing with the next step down. During the step-up cutting material removal rates can be maintained by automatically increasing the feed rate as the depth of cut decreases.

Automatic Flat Area Detection

Efficient Roughing On Any Part

Unlike alternative high speed roughing methods, Vortex is based on generating offsets from the part profile. This produces an efficient toolpath regardless of the part shape. This eliminates the need for any

Vortex can be combined with Delcam’s automatic flat area detection technology, ensuring that the roughing strategy never leaves any excess material on flat planes.

“This system has been touted as a ‘game changer’ for our aviators and soldiers on the ground,” Col. Jeff Hager, U.S. Army project manager for Apache Attack Helicopters, told reporters during an Aug. 8 conference call. “It has provided the Army with unprecedented situational awareness and targeting ability.”

The modernized target acquisition designation sight, or, M-TADS, was first fielded in 2005 as an evolutionary upgrade to the legacy sensor suite, simply called TADS. That system is housed with the pilot night vision sensor — also included in the upgrade package — in a swiveling ball under the nose of the aircraft that mimics the movements of the pilot’s head as he scans the environment.

pilots with long-range, precision engagement and control capabilities during the day, at night and in adverse weather conditions. Considered the “eyes” of the Apache, the systems feed full-motion video and targeting data to the cockpit viewing screens and into the small screen over the pilot’s right eye.

Hager said the milestone was “no small feat” considering it was only three years ago that the Army had taken delivery of its 1,000th M-TADS system.

Lockheed Martin has delivered 1,300 M-TADS/PNVS systems to the Army and 12 international customers. Assembly and installation is performed at Lockheed’s facilities in Ocala and Orlando, Fla. Lockheed is in the midst of its eighth production block of M-TADS. Additional sales to the Army and overseas customers is expected, said Dave Belvin, director of Apache programs at Lockheed’s Missiles and Fire Control division.

Lt. Col.. Steve Van Riper, the army’s project manager for Apache sensors, said nearly all of the Army’s Apaches are outfitted with the updated targeting system.

“We are very close to completing our total Army force,”Van Riper said.

M-TADS has given Army aviators a 10-fold increase in operational reliability over legacy systems, he said. Streamlining field maintenance saves nearly $1 billion in operation and support costs over the 40-year life of the system.

M-TADS comes standard on the Army’s latest version of the Apache, the Block III, of which 41 have been delivered to date. Though not in theater yet, a unit of the 229th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord,Wash., is scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan with the Block III Apache in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, Hager said.

Hager said the Apache program absorbed a 9 percent cut to its budget in the current fiscal year as a result of sequestration. He declined to comment on what the future might hold.

“At this time, there is no way to tell if there is any cumulative effect that would cause anything to slip to the right ,” Hager said. “Currently we’re on track to achieve our objectives. I don’t want to speculate because we don’t know what will happen in the next fiscal year.”

The Obama administration plans to carve $1.2 billion over five years from programs to rebuild and upgrade the Apache.

The Army is seeking $813 million for Apache in fiscal year 2014.That would fund 42 remanufactured Block III aircraft, Hager said during a press conference at the Army Aviation Association of America’s annual exposition in April.

Full-rate production is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2014 and run through fiscal 2027 to reach the 690 aircraft goal. They will be a combination of remanufactured and new aircraft. Fifty-six of the 690 will be truly “new-build” aircraft requiring all new parts and components, but will not be purchased until 2018 at the soonest as a result of a $1.2 billion cut to the program.

Block II Apache, designated Charlie and Delta models, will have a further upgrade in the modernized data sensor assembly, or M-DSA, Van Riper said. The Army is in the final stages of integrating that system, which will bring high-definition, color full-motion video into the cockpit in dash- and helmet-mounted displays.

SpaceX’s ‘Grasshopper’ Reusable Rocket Prototype Makes Highest Flight Yet A private company’s prototype reusable rocket made its highest leap to date last month, soaring 100 stories into the air before landing softly back at its launch pad as planned.

In 02/16/10 its sixth-ever test flight, SpaceX’s experimental Grasshopper rocket hopped to a maximum altitude A2Z Metalworker of 1,066 feet (325 meters). It then made a slow and 1/3 page square - 5 3/8 x 5 3/8" controlled descent back to Earth at the company’s rocket development facility in McGregor, Texas.

SpaceX’s reusable Grasshopper rocket prototype rises skyward from its McGregor, Texas launch pad during a June 14, 2013 test flight that reached 1,066 feet (325 meters) before descending back to Earth.

This still was taken from a video recorded by a small unmanned hexacopter.

Most rockets are designed to be expendable, burning up in Earth’s atmosphere after delivering their payloads to space. SpaceX wants to develop fully reusable launch vehicles, which experts say would make spaceflight much cheaper and more efficient.

The 10-story-tall Grasshopper is a big step in this direction, company officials say. The rocket takes off and lands vertically, touching down on four metallic legs back at its launch pad.

Over the last decade, engineers at GE Aviation have been experimenting with a new way to make jet engine parts.

Rather than cutting, milling and drilling engine components, they weld together thin layers of powdered metal with a 200-watt laser and build parts from the ground up. Now, other businesses are supersizing 3D printing and pushing the technology into new areas.

GE Power and Water recently acquired a laser printer that is five times as powerful as the GE Aviation machine and can work with two lasers at the same time. “We are learning how to use this technology,” says Jon Schaeffer, senior manager for materials and processing engineering for Power and Water. “We’ve got to spread the word and change the design paradigm that metallurgists, designers and manufacturing teams have had for a long time.”

Schaeffer says that the 3D printer will help speed up innovation and test new ideas and designs faster. “We’ve been able to embed new technologies into our components without the messy manufacturing steps normally required,” he says. “We are cutting out months in the development cycle with this technology.”

The printer’s build area is almost a cubic foot, large enough to print gas turbine parts. “The biggest thing that was holding us back was the size of the chamber,” Schaeffer says. “But the chamber volume has grown 50 times over the last five years. It’s almost like Moore’s law for 3D printing.”

NASA Administrator Bolden Visits Orbital’s Arizona Satellite/Rocket Mfg Operations Last month, Orbital Sciences Corporation hosted Major Gen. Charles F. Bolden (USMC, Ret.), Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), at its satellite and rocket manufacturing and test facilities in Gilbert and Chandler, AZ. Administrator Bolden traveled to Gilbert to view and receive a briefing on progress of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) atmospheric science satellite that is now nearing completion at the company’s satellite factory in preparation for its launch in 2014. Gen. Bolden was also briefed on two other Gilbert-based NASA Earth science satellites, the recently launched and commissioned Landsat-8 spacecraft and the ICESat-2 satellite program that completed its Critical Design Review the day prior to his visit.

During Administrator Bolden’s visit to Orbital’s Gilbert satellite manufacturing facility, the company highlighted the nearly 150 satellites it has built and delivered over the last 30 years, with particular emphasis on the more than 30 spacecraft developed and produced for NASA scientific and technology demonstration missions. “We were very pleased to have the opportunity to brief Administrator Bolden on our long-term involvement with NASA’s Earth science satellite programs,” said Orbital’s President and Chief Executive Officer David W. Thompson, who accompanied the Administrator throughout his visit. “Over the past three decades, Orbital has built 31 satellites in support of NASA and other civil agency scientific research, 18 of which are related to Earth science. With four new science satellites now in development, we continue to strongly support NASA’s mission to collect the data researchers use to study long-term patterns and changes to Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land surfaces.”

Following his visit to the Gilbert clean room where the OCO-2 spacecraft is located, Administrator Bolden met with Phoenix news media to stress the importance of NASA’s Earth science satellite programs and the critical data they provide to the scientific community.

Afterward, he also met with approximately 100 Orbital employees who work on Earth science satellite programs for a lively and entertaining “Town Hall” style meeting during which he answered questions ranging from the future of Earth science programs to his experiences as a NASA astronaut.

Gen. Bolden and Mr. Thompson then traveled to Orbital’s launch vehicle engineering and manufacturing facilities in Chandler. There, the Administrator toured the plant and was briefed on the company’s small- and medium-class launch capabilities, with Orbital having built over 80 space launch vehicles since 1990, approximately 30 of which were used for NASA missions. Orbital also updated the Administrator on two upcoming missions for NASA, the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Experiment Explorer (LADEE), which is scheduled for launch on an Minotaur V rocket built and operated by Orbital, and the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) Demonstration Mission that will be launched aboard Orbital’s new medium-class Antares rocket.

Both missions are scheduled to be launched from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in eastern Virginia in September.

Orbital employs approximately 1,500 people at its Gilbert and Chandler facilities.

BAE testsWNW anti-jam mode for Phoenix radios

"During this testing, each Phoenix radio successfully and securely communicated across uneven terrain," Ager said.

Introduced in October 2012 in response to the army's request for proposal (RFP) for a non-developmental mid-tier networking vehicular radio (MNVR) solution, Phoenix radios are designed to provide secure, jam-resistant communications between headquarters and dismounted soldiers.

"Each Phoenix radio successfully and securely communicated across uneven terrain."

BAE Systems has successfully carried out over-theair testing of its mid-tier Phoenix networking radios at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL).

Conducted as part of a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with the US Army, the trial had demonstrated the radio's ability to securely and reliably transmit battlefield information through wideband networking waveform (WNW) anti-jam (AJ) modes.

BAE Systems Networked Communications director Christopher Ager said protection of tactical communications was of critical importance to sustainment of battlefield advantage.

Available in three variants, including Phoenix-SC, 2C, and 4C, the high-throughput radio is capable of operating both next-generation, government-owned WNW and the soldier radio waveform (SRW) for use in multiple configurations.

Designed using commercial technology, the off-the-shelf radio system features a small size and low-weight, with a power design to support easy integration with existing radio space present on the army's ground combat vehicles (GCVs).

Capable of simplifying end-user training and adoption processes, the radio also demonstrates full interoperability with the Department of Defense's (DoD) existing joint tactical radio systems (JTRS).

Phoenix-2C radio has already demonstrated tactical networking capabilities by allowing soldiers to communicate over 20km in moving vehicles, which is double the mid-tier network requirement, during exercises at Fort Huachuca in Arizona, US, in November 2012.Meanwhile, additional WNW-AJ tests on networks of up to 30 nodes are expected to take place in the coming months.

TVT DIE CASTING Precision aluminum and zinc die casting, machining and finishing.

Quality, Reliability and Service

U.S. slowly opening up commercial drone industry The Federal Aviation Administration’s recent certification of two expensive unmanned aircraft for commercial use further opens up the U.S. market for drones, but cheaper unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will still have to operate in regulatory limbo.

The drone industry was heartened by the FAA’s decision in late July to greenlight Boeing Co’s Insitu ScanEagle and AeroVironment Inc’s Puma, in the first such U.S. certification of drones for commercial use.

These remote aircraft weigh less than 50 pounds 22 kilograms), have wingspans of about 4.5 feet and come with a hefty estimated price tag of $100,000 each.

Their approval is seen as a first step in unleashing a potentially multibillion-dollar industry that so far has been largely limited to military and law enforcement applications.

In the meantime, however, dozens of companies are chomping at the bit for the FAA to certify their own more affordable drones, saying there is no way farmers and many others can invest in the type of UAVs that received certification last month.

The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), an industry group, hailed the FAA’s certification of the two drones.

“This is a huge step forward and this is a big deal for our industry,” said Ben Gielow, government relations manager for the group.

Congress in early 2012 passed legislation calling on the FAA to write rules by 2015 that would govern the commercial operation of drones that can be used for everything from spraying pesticides on farmland to catching exotic-animal poachers to monitoring sport events.

Aviation and aerospace industry research firm Teal Group has estimated that annual spending on drones around the world will almost double to $11.4 billion by 2022. AUVSI has estimated the industry could contribute more than $80 billion to the U.S. economy over a decade.

The FAA is taking a cautious approach to the controversial aircraft.

The U.S. government’s use of weaponized drones to remotely kill foreign combatants has sparked a fierce debate, while privacy advocates fear a commercial explosion of big-brother-like drones.

Rory Paul, chief executive of Volt Aerial Robotics, a St. Louis-based company, said the efficiency gains from using UAVs to scout and map farmland have prompted some farmers to use lower-priced drones in spite of FAA regulations.

“The FAA doesn’t have inspectors running around the heartland looking for people with UAVs,” Paul said.

Paul has provided a number of farmers with his company’s Octane quadcopters, which cost $10,770 each. He also sells a fixed-wing UAV called the WaveSight for about $50,000.

As of Feb. 15, 2013, there were 327 active drone certifications. The FAA estimates, 7,500 commercial drones will be viable within five years.

“We really would only pursue a civil penalty if someone was operating an unmanned aircraft in a reckless manner,” said FAA spokesman Les Dorr.

The FAA called its certification of the ScanEagle and Puma a “giant leap” in the commercialization of drones.

The agency in 2009 created a Unmanned Aircraft Program Office to better organize its certification process, and in March of this year said it is still developing a plan to speed integration of civil drones into the national air space.

To date, the FAA has mostly issued cer tifications for public safety and law enforcement purposes, including firefighting, border control and search-andrescue missions.

The FAA says it will try to stop unauthorized commercial activity if it becomes known but adds that it will resort to civil penalties only in extreme cases.

The FAA’s interest in nudging along the commercial drone industry predates the 2012 legislation.

In a statement after it certified the Boeing and AeroVironment drones, the FAA said a major energy company plans to fly the ScanEagle off the Alaska coast in August to survey ice flows and whale migration in Arctic oil exploration areas. The Puma, meanwhile, will be used for oil spill monitoring and wildlife surveillance over the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic Ocean.

In its next major step, the FAA is expected later this year to announce six test sites for unmanned aircraft, completing another requirement of the 2012 legislation.

Still, not everyone is happy with the FAA’s pace. Gielow from the industry group AUVSI said that despite the FAA’s commitment to

the sector, he is concerned that the agency is not on track for the 2015 congressionally mandated target.

And Paul of Volt Aerial Robotics said the FAA has not yet done enough to tap into one of the biggest customer bases - farmers. “(The FAA) thinks they’re going to have systems like the ScanEagle operating in agriculture, but that’s not the case,” Paul said. “They’re simply too expensive.”

SiliconValley Engineers Keenly Await Lego’s Latest Mindstorm Sets The AP reported that Silicon Valley engineers are very excited about the release of Lego’s new Mindstorms sets in September. Many of the engineers build their first robots using the kits that were introduced in 1998.

Pratt & Whitney’s Geared Turbofan Growth Plan Engine manufacturers constantly trade claims over whose product performs best, traditionally comparing apples to apples, turbofan to turbofan. But as the battle to power the Airbus A320NEO intensifies, engine maker s increasingly are exchanging fire over their technology choices. Pratt & Whitney’s success in winning five applications for its geared turbofan (GTF)— and defeating conventional turbofan offerings on four of them—has changed the tone of the engine war of words. No more apples to apples, it’s now architecture against architecture.

General Electric and Snecma, its partner in the CFM International joint venture, have placed their bets on carbon-fiber and ceramic-matrix composites and other advanced technologies enabling conventional turbofans to continue providing the fuel-burn improvements airlines need. Pratt has put its money on introducing a gearbox to provide a step change in fuel burn and enable the engine to run cooler, with fewer parts and more conservative technology. Now, with one engine certificated and two more on test, Pratt is looking to the future, and its plans could pose a challenge to the other manufacturers.

Both CFM and Pratt aim to reduce fuel burn by at least 15% from the A2Z METALWORKER

engines now powering the A320. CFM says 50% of the Leap-1A’s fuel savings come from improved propulsive efficiency, with increased fan size and bypass ratio, and 50% from improved thermal efficiency, including higher temperatures. Pratt says only 4-5% of the PW1100G’s fuel savings come from the gearbox, which enables a larger, slowerturning fan to be driven by a faster, more efficient low-pressure (LP) turbine. “The other 10-11% is from the rest of the engine,” says Bob Saia, vice president next-generation engine family.

These differences may seem academic when both rivals promise similar fuel savings on the same platform, the market sets engine prices and maintenance-cost agreements ensure the manufacturers carry the risks of their technology choices. But they could become more significant as Pratt looks to expand its GTF applications to large commercial aircraft.

On paper at least, the conservative temperatures and technologies in the PW1100G give Pratt plenty of room to grow.

GE and CFM, meanwhile, do not acknowledge any limitations on the conventional turbofan. GE will increase use of composites and CMCs in its GE9X for the Boeing 777X. CMC combustion-chamber liners, uncooled HP turbine nozzles, shrouds and, for the first time, blades are among technologies planned for the GE9X, which will have a 10% lower fuel burn than the GE90 powering today’s 777-300ER. Others include a 27:1 pressure-ratio HP compressor. “Leap will have all the benefit of the technology from the GE9X and other development programs and we will introduce as it makes sense,” says CFM. “We expect to be 2-3% better than the GTF and this is not a position we will relinquish.”

Momentum behind GE’s high-tech approach is building; more than $1 billion a year is going to develop, test and mature its commercial engine technology. Work on the GE9X began in 2010 and “the first 4-5 years are about demonstrating technology and producibility,” says Bill Millhaem, GE90 general manager. “We will run the high-pressure compressor five years before certification,” says Bill Fitzgerald, GE aviation vice president and general manager of the commercial engines operation.”

U.S. Manufacturers Gain Ground After more than a decade of losing ground to China and other export powerhouses, U.S. manufacturers are finally showing signs of regaining their competitive edge.

The U.S. deficit on trade of manufactured goods in this year’s first half shrank to $225 billion from $227 billion a year earlier, according to data compiled by Ernest Preeg, an economist and trade expert at the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation, an industryfunded research group in Arlington,Va.The improvement, while slight, came after years of ballooning deficits as the U.S. lost manufacturing business to China, South Korea and other nations.

“It’s a hopeful sign,” said Mr. Preeg, who derives his tally of manufactured-goods trade from official U.S. data, leaving out other types of merchandise, such as grain or coal. “At least we’ve leveled off.”

His findings come as Boston Consulting Group—a leading proponent of the idea that U.S. manufacturing will come roaring back—predicts a surge in U.S. exports, partly helped by lower energy costs and

stagnating wages. BCG says rising exports and “reshoring” of production to the U.S. from China “could create 2.5 million to five million American factory and service jobs associated with increased manufacturing” by 2020. That, BCG says, could reduce the unemployment rate, currently 7.4%, by as much as two to three percentage points.

The overall U.S. trade deficit, meanwhile, narrowed recently, as new shale-drilling technologies have sharply boosted domestic energy production.

At present, about 12 million Americans are directly employed by manufacturers, down from nearly 17 million two decades ago. The Obama administration has made a manufacturing recovery a top priority, and major corporations are striving to showcase their efforts to create manufacturing jobs.

Harley-Davidson Inc. continues to add dealers abroad. “We’re very excited about the growth prospects in our international businesses,” John Olin, chief financial officer, told analysts last month. The Milwaukee-based company recently said retail motorcycle sales jumped 12% in the Asian-Pacific region and 39% in Latin America in the second quarter.

Like many U.S. manufacturers, Harley since the 2008-09 recession has revamped its operations to create a smaller and more flexible workforce, resulting in annual cost savings of more than $300 million and making the company more competitive. Among the changes: The union at its plant in York, Pa.,

accepted the use of temporary workers, who can be dismissed without severance pay. The number of job classifications atYork also fell to five from 62, so workers have a wider variety of skills and can go where needed.

Evan Smith, president of Hanover, N.H.-based Hypertherm Inc., said sales of its metalcutting tools have been growing this year in the Middle East and Latin America. Opening a distribution center in Brazil helped, he said.

Big companies, such as Caterpillar Inc. and General Electric Co., have moved some production back to the U.S. in recent years.

Some foreign companies, such as tire maker Bridgestone Corp. of Japan, have expanded U.S. capacity, partly to serve customers in the Americas.

As the boom in shale “fracking” lowers natural-gas and electricity prices in the U.S., and wages stagnate, “the U.S. is steadily becoming one of the lowest-cost countries for manufacturing in the developed world,” the BCG report said. The U.S. will have an edge over rival manufacturing nations in energy costs, along with lower productivity-adjusted labor costs than Germany, Japan, France, Italy and Britain, the report said. That will allow the U.S. to grab a larger share of global manufacturing sales.

“This is a fundamental economic shift,” said Harold Sirkin, a senior partner at BCG, who helped write the report. “The trends are going faster than we thought,” he said, adding: “As much as people say we don’t make anything anymore, it’s just not true.”

Even so, the U.S. has lost much ground over the past 15 years, largely because of China’s surging growth and focus on exports. The U.S. accounted for 11% of global exports of manufactured goods in 2011, down from 19% in 2000, Mr. Preeg said. During the same period, China’s share rocketed to nearly 21% from 7%, and the European Union slipped to 20% from 22%.

China’s performance has cooled recently. U.S. exports of manufacturing goods to China surged 19% to $19.9 billion in the second quarter, Mr. Preeg said, but that is about one-fifth of China’s manufacturing exports to the U.S. U.S. manufacturers still face big hurdles.

Many can’t find enough skilled workers to operate and repair sophisticated computercontrolled machinery, a shortage worsened by the retirement of baby boomers. Faster economic growth in China, India and Brazil means many global companies still want to open more plants there. A U.S. corporate focus on quarterly results sometimes deters investment in factory equipment, while many U.S. firms say they pay higher taxes and get fewer subsidies than foreign rivals.

Meanwhile, China no longer relies heavily on labor-cost advantages to get a leg up on other countries. As wages rise, China has shifted to more exports of higher-tech items, including telecommunications equipment, computers and scientific instruments, Mr. Preeg said.

Between 1992 and 2012, the value of federal contracts in Arizona rose from $2.4 billion to $14.2 billion, a 491 percent increase.Total federal contract spending in the same period rose 158 percent, from $199.8 billion to $517 billion.

The growth in contracts outpaced overall growth of the state economy, with federal contracting rising from 3 percent of Arizona’s economy in 1992 to more than 5.3 percent in 2012, according to Bureau of Economic Analysis data.

Federal contracting is “one of the most important drivers of the state’s economy,” said Dennis Hoffman, a professor of economics at Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business.

“I just don’t know how you can avoid the simple arithmetic,” Hoffman said said of the numbers. “These are private-sector jobs” supported by federal spending.

Contract jobs are a “boon” to towns like Mesa, where a Boeing plant produces Apache helicopters and brings “very high-paying jobs,” said Mayor Scott Smith.

ATK wins Orbital Sciences order for space transport vehicle

Defense-related jobs like Boeing’s have always played a large part in federal contracts in the state, accounting for 77 percent to 92 percent of total Arizona contracts over the 20 years.

Alliant Techsystems Inc said it had won an order from Orbital Sciences Corp to provide solid roc ket motor s for a new air-launched space transport system that is part of Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen’s

Defense contracts in Arizona grew 578 percent, from $1.9 billion to $12.9 billion. Only Kentucky and Nevada saw larger percentage increases in defense spending over the 20 years. Only Kentucky saw a higher increase in all federal contracts, growing 622 percent.

Allen’s Stratolaunch Systems tapped Orbital Sciences in June to develop the new transport system which will use a large aircraft to launch satellites, cargo and possibly humans, into space.

Stratolaunch plans to launch test flights in 2016, and may fly its first mission in 2017 or 2018.

ATK said it would provide the first and second stage propulsion for the Air Launch Vehicle. The company will also design and develop and flight hardware for initial Stratolaunch missions.

ATK has built more than 1,600 commercial solid rocket motors for a wide array of launch vehicles, including Orbital Sciences’ Pegasus, Taurus, Minotaur and Antares launch vehicles.

Nationally, defense contract spending rose 167 percent since 1992.

“Support for defense spending is bipartisan,” said Nick Schwellenbach, a senior fiscal policy analyst with the Center for Effective Government, a government watchdog group. “Nobody ever complains when government spends more on contracting.”

And contractors spread work out among congressional districts so it’s harder to cut, said Stephen Slivinski, a senior economist at the Goldwater Institute.“Contractors have gotten very savvy,” he said.

More than 150,000 Arizonans worked in defense contracting in 2012, fifth-highest among states, according to a report done for the Aerospace Industries Association of America last year.

“These jobs are one of the important drivers of the state’s economy,” Slivinski said.Most of the growth is being driven by the expansion of high-tech manufacturing at defense firms such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, BAE Systems and other companies in Arizona, said Hoffman.

Essay: Grow jobs through manufacturing and trade

by Penny Pritzker and Michael Froman

As President Obama travels across the country discussing how we can achieve a better bargain for the middle class, he’s outlining steps necessary to ensure every American has a good job with a secure future.

A strong trade agenda is critical to continuing the progress we’ve made building economic stability and creating jobs.

Since Obama directed his administration to help more U.S. businesses sell Made-in-America products to the world, trade has been an increasingly bright spot in our economy. U.S. exports have reached record levels for the last two years despite economic headwinds from abroad, exceeding $2.2 trillion in goods and services last year.

Most important, American exports have supported 1.3 million additional American jobs, for a total of 9.8 million in 2012. We’re seeing our strongest private-sector job growth in 14 years, including the first rise in U.S. manufacturing jobs since the 1990s.

Policies that help American businesses export their products and compete globally on a level playing field are crucial to continued success. Making things in America and selling them around the world can support more high-paying jobs here at home, boost American manufacturing and spur the innovative spirit that has made America great.

U.S. businesses and workers have tremendous opportunities in the global marketplace. Ninety-five percent of the world’s consumers, with 80 percent of the world’s purchasing power, live outside our borders.

To help Americans seize those opportunities, the U.S. Department of Commerce promotes U.S. exports in foreign markets and encourages foreign investment in the United States.

The United States trade representative seeks to open new markets; to level the playing field for American workers in areas like labor, the environment and intellectual property rights; and to enforce our partners’ trade commitments.

The first step toward selling more American goods and services globally is to build strong businesses here.

Obama has called on Congress to help bring manufacturing jobs back to America with new tax incentives and new tax credits and to build on a successful model to create 45 manufacturing innovation institutes to turn communities into hubs for high-tech jobs.

Last year, with help from the commerce department, 5,200 American companies were able to export for the first time or sell more to new markets, including more than 4,000 small and medium-size enterprises.

In 2012 alone, the department helped U.S. companies achieved $63.3 billion in new exports for the year, which supported more than 310,000 American jobs.

We’re also reeling in foreign investment and jobs to American

communities and planning to grow that effort.

INTRODUCING...“NEW” PRODUCTS FROM THE NAME YOU CAN TRUST...

While Commerce advocates for U.S. companies abroad, thereby supporting job creation at home, and helps American businesses access existing export markets, the USTR is opening new ones, keeping those markets open and making sure Americans have a level playing field on which to compete and win.

In an increasingly competitive global marketplace, America must seize every opportunity. Through the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, we seek to open markets representing nearly two-thirds of global GDP (in current U.S. dollars).

Negotiations to further open the world’s services markets to competitive American companies, facilitate trade with World Trade Organization member countries and increase trade in information technology products can all increase opportunities for American businesses and workers here at home.

The administration also recognizes that after completing an agreement, it must ensure that all commitments in the agreement are honored.

That’s why Obama has significantly increased trade enforcement, including by establishing the whole-of-government Interagency Trade Enforcement Center.

Our ultimate goals are fostering economic growth, supporting jobs here at home and strengthening our country’s middle class. U.S. exports are helping to drive our nation’s economic recovery, and more than ever, two-way trade is providing inputs for value-added, Made-in-America goods.

Universities strengthen funding with patents

Arizona universities are sitting on a gold mine of potential funding with dozens of research patents they’re beginning to promote for startup creation.

The state’s three public universities have been hiring staff and putting together programs to handle technology transfers — programs in which patents that may have been shelved are dusted off and prepared for commercialization.

At the same time the universities are seeking to protect their research and secure more patents, they’re looking at startups and established companies willing to license those patents and make a go of creating products from them.

Arizona Science & Technology Enterprises manages Arizona State University’s intellectual property and technology transfers. The nonprofit, started in 2003, had 250 invention disclosures last year.

Disclosures occur when a faculty member does research and comes up with an idea that has market potential, said CEO Augie Cheng.

“This effort is really to try to move stuff for purposes of economic development,” he said.

Last year, AzTE received 47 U.S. patents.

The year before, it received 26, Cheng said.

Companies that licensed ASU intellectual property have raised more than $390 million in funding from venture capital firms and other investors.

One successful ASU spinoff is Heliae Development LLC, a Gilbert-based algae technology company working to brand its own health and beauty products. Heliae recently raised $28.4 million to help pay for its new facility.

In 2012, ASU was No. 2 in the U.S. in terms of the number of startups created for every $10 million spent in research.

Eleven new companies sprouted from ASU

research last year, said Charlie Lewis, AzTE vice president of venture development.

AzTE is not alone in trying to maximize the potential of university patents.

Furnace Technology Transfer Accelerator, which recently finished its first year, was organized by ASU as a way to form, incubate and launch companies using technology and intellectual property from ASU, the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University, as well as BioAccel, Dignity Health and the Arizona Commerce Authority. Each six-month program helps startups with seed money, office space and mentors to commercialize university patents in Arizona.

AzTE also established a physical presence earlier this year in downtown Santa Monica, Calif., in an area that has become known as Silicon Beach.The goal was to get involved in the Southern California technology ecosystem, reach out to venture capitalists and angel investors, and collaborate and connect with California universities.

It’s part of an effort to draw more of that

funding to Arizona, Lewis said.

“There’s quite a shortage of early-stage capital (in Arizona) to launch and promote new startups,” Lewis said. “We’ve always had a need in the tech transfer office in going out and cultivating relationships outside of Arizona. We invest a lot of time and energy into various markets.”

UA kicked off a concerted effort about a year ago to reimagine its patent proliferation effort with its Office of Technology Transfer. From that sprang Tech Launch Arizona, a combination of technology transfers, business engagement and a focus on building spinoff businesses, said Doug Hockstad, director of both Tech Launch and the UA Office of Technology Transfer.

“This year has been a rebuilding year. We significantly increased the resources for the office, increased the number of licensing managers who work with intellectual property and began focusing on the service aspect of our tech transfers,” Hockstad said.

“The end result is commercialization of the

technology, whether it’s through a startup or a license.”

More resources were put into protecting and filing patents, working with people, and marketing to get companies to license from the university, he said.

New to UA is a proof-of-concept fund, which makes $700,000 available to help bridge the gap when intellectual property is past the research phase, but not yet to the point when it can be licensed.The university has funded 19 proof-of-concept projects in the past year, he said.

“There’s so much very cutting-edge stuff that’s happening in universities that would just be lost if you didn’t have a program to transition it out of the university,” Hockstad said.

B/E Aerospace Agrees to Acquire Blue Dot Energy Services, LLC B/E Aerospace, the world’s leading

manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and the world’s leading distributor of aerospace fasteners and consumables, last month announced that it has initiated an expansion of its Consumables Management (CM) Segment into the oil and gas services industry via the acquisition of Blue Dot Energy Services, LLC, a provider of parts distribution, rental equipment, and onsite services.

Amin J. Khoury, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of B/E Aerospace stated, “B/E Aerospace plans to provide high quality products and services (new and remanufactured after use, and API certified) to remote drilling sites, using its manufacturing, certification, IT, and logistics capabilities to properly prepare for deployment, store, locate, and deliver, as needed equipment and services.”

The acquisition purchase price including expenses is approximately $75 million.

The transaction is expected to close by the end of August 2013 and is expected to be accretive to 2014 earnings per share.
