Application – Medical – Specimen Analysis – GOLD Plated
Reflective Pocket Profile & Surface Finish
Undefined Requirements on Reflectivity
K&G machined parts, Sub-Contracted Polishing & Plating
Exceeded Customer Expectations
Process controlled to achieve the undefined requirements of the reflective surface
Defense – Tank Projectile
Fin used 1 ½ deg. cant angle to create rotation of projectile
Blade area was being EDM’ed at a cost of approximately $450 per fin
K&G developed a simple solution to machine blade area
K&G’s unique approach reduced the cost of the fin by 90% saving over $1200 per round
Cost saving made the program fiscally viable for continued development
