New Equipment and Face-lift for Lab at 91传媒
Solar鈥檚 Metallurgical laboratory work at the Souderton plant has increased considerably in support of our carburizing and nitriding customers. To keep up with production testing and R&D work, new lab equipment was recently added including a new cut-off saw, mounting press, polishing machine, and a microhardness tester. All of the new machines allow for custom or standard recipe control which is ideal for achieving consistent results time after time. The lab also received a face-lift with a new acid cabinet and vented hood, an epoxy resin countertop, and a new floor. New electrical fixtures were also installed and the entire room was given anew coat of paint. The entire investment was about $135,000. In an effort to keep costs down, most of the work was performed by Solar employees. The investment is proving to be an excellent one as the quality and quantity of the work produced in the lab are both exceptional.
