Complex Assemblies for Critical Applications for Demanding Customers.
In the production job shop, we fabricate high quality components, subassemblies and complete products for demanding customers. Precision assembly of critical components is routine. Services are geared to the manufacture of components or systems that require one or more of the many of the metallurgical processes and fabrication techniques offered by VPE, as described elsewhere on this website. VPE is ISO 9001:2008 Certified.
Below are examples of past assemblies:
- Brazed aircraft heat exchange assembly manufactured from 321 and 304L stainless steel.
- Step-brazed jet engine temperature sensor assembly consisting of Inconel capillary tubing, molybdenum plate, metalized ceramic insulator body, and Kovar tubing.
- Approximately 2.5″ diameter ceramic-to-Inconel insulation body assembly; service is air/vacuum at 600C.
- Ultra high vacuum feedthrough, all components and certain design aspects were provided by VPE. The feedthrough meets especially low outgassing characteristics specified by the customer.
- An assembly that is used as an element of a cryogenic heat exchanger. It consists of several hundred photo-etched stainless steel and copper platelets pinned together to assure precise alignment and optimal efficiency. The assembly is hermetic despite the thin wall sections and hundreds of lineal feet of exposed joints
