Kvichak’s New Facility: Flashmark Tech

Kvichak Marine Industries was a recipient of an ARRA small shipyard grant awarded in 2009. One of the improvements funded by this grant was a new cutting table and brake which the company has located in a newly leased facility located in the South Park area of

Seattle. Flashmark Tech, a division of Kvichak Marine, is now in full production. This new facility has a 16-ft 325 ton 2 Axis CNC Press break and a 10-ft by 60-ft speed router table with integrated

Galvo laser marking system which provide Kvichak the ability to control the schedule of its cut parts being deliv- ered to the production floor. www.kvichak.com

The HyperSizer Composite Analysis Tool

Collier Research

Corporation released its

HyperSizer v6 structural siz- ing and analysis software for reducing weight, maintaining strength and improving the manufacturability of complex composite and metallic designs. Developed and proven at NASA, the software — the first ever commer- cialized by the agency — has a track record of 20 percent weight reduction in high-profile government and com- mercial aerospace projects. In addition, HyperSizer’s design and manufacturing capabilities are appropriate for optimizing composite-driven designs in a wide variety of industries including ship superstructures. www.hypersizer.com

Rustibus Scaling Machines

Rustibus scaling machines are based on a patented rotat- ing chain link system that provides more than 200,000 blows per minute depending on the machines size.

Rustibus machines have a capacity of approximately 200 to 300 sq ft per hour with a resulting surface in accordance with SP 3 + (SSPC-

SP11++). U.S. facilities offer rental services. The most recent Rustibus machine is a heavy-duty electric hand tool, ideal for spot scaling on small horizontal and vertical areas. www.rustibus.com

Remote Voltage Control XMT WCC System

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. introduced the XMT Weld

Cable Control (WCC)

System: the matching of an

XMT 350 or XMT 456 mul- tiprocess welding inverter with a voltage-sensing

SuitCase X-TREME WCC wire feeder and a WCC control. This MIG/Flux cored welding system allows welders in the construction and shipbuilding industries, who often work more than 100 feet away from the welding power source, to adjust volt- age settings at the point of use. Adjusting voltage at the point of use reduces the need to leave the work area and travel back to the power source. The system is also avail- able with Dimension NT multiprocess welder. www.millerwelds.com

VertaJet SRT-6LT for Surface Prep

The VertaJet SRT-6LT from

NLB Corp. accomplishes sur- face preparation faster than manual water jetting and is even more ergonomic than pre- vious models. The new hand- held unit needs no air connec- tion to rotate the 40,000 psi water jets and it weighs just 20 lbs. The VertaJet SRT-6LT quickly removes paint, epoxies and other coatings from steel structures and other sur- faces. Multiple water jets rotating at 3,000 rpm create a six-inch cleaning path. www.nlbcorp.com
