Our Proven Commitment

After several years of successfully providing pre-finished parts to one of our customers, a major aerospace manufacturer, Test Devices experienced an increase in un-spinnable parts. After completing a detailed and thorough inspection of the machinery, our team was able to identify the problem which was determined to be a change in machining setup by the customer. We were then able to make the professional recommendation and solve the issue.

A second example involved an issue during spin testing for a leading manufacturer of centrifugal impellers. Similar to our first example, after years of successfully delivering parts to our client, we encountered an issue when we realized a handful of parts were unbalanced. After the inspection of the machinery, we were able to determine the issue at hand and successfully resolve it.
