Plastic and Rubber Parts, Mold Making, Injection Molding, Thermoforming, Blow Mould, Vacuum Forming, Thermoset Mold, Polymer Components, at AGS-TECH Inc. Пластични и гумени калапи и калапи We custom manufacture plastic and rubber moulds and moulded parts using injection moulding, transfer molding, thermoforming, compression moulding, thermoset moulding, vacuum forming, blow moulding, rotational moulding, insert moulding, pour moulding, metal to rubber and metal to plastic bonding, ultrasonic welding, secondary manufacturing & fabrication processes. We recommend that you click here to DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Plastic and Rubber Molding Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. This will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. • INJECTION MOULDING : A thermoset compound is fed and injected with a high speed reciprocating screw or plunger system. Injection molding can produce small to medium sized parts in high volume economically, tight tolerances, consistency between parts and good strength can be achieved. This technique is the most common plastic products manufacturing method of AGS-TECH Inc. Our standard moulds have cycle times in the order of 500,000 times and are made of P20 tool steel. With larger injection moulds and deeper cavities consistency and hardness throughout the material becomes even more important, therefore we only use certified highest quality tool steel from major suppliers with strong traceability and quality assurance systems. Not all P20 tool steels are the same. Their quality can vary from supplier to supplier and from country to country. Therefore for even our injection moulds manufactured in China we use tool steel imported from US, Germany and Japan. We have accumulated the know-how of using modified P20 steel chemistries for injection moulding of products with surfaces requiring very tight tolerance mirror finishes. This makes us capable of manufacturing even optical lens moulds. Another type of challenging surface finish is textured surfaces. These necessitate consistent hardness across the surface. Therefore any inhomogeneity in the steel can result in less than perfect surface textures. For this reason some of our steel used for such moulds incorporates special alloying elements and is cast using advanced metallurgical techniques. Miniature plastic parts and gears are components that require know how on suitable plastic materials and processes which we have gained over the years. We manufacture tiny precision plastic components with tight tolerances for a company making micromotors. Not every plastic moulding company is capable of producing such tiny accurate parts, because it requires know-how which is acquired only through years of research and development experience. We offer the various types of this molding technique, including gas assisted injection molding. • INSERT MOULDING : Inserts can either be incorporated at the time of the molding process, or be inserted after the molding process. When incorporated as part of the molding process, the inserts can be loaded by robots or by the operator. If the inserts are incorporated after the molding operation, they can usually be applied any time after the molding process. A common insert moulding process is the process of molding plastic around preformed metal inserts. For example, electronic connectors do have metal pins or components enclosed by the sealing plastic material. We have acquired years of experience keeping the cycle time constant from shot to shot even in post moulding insertion, because variations in cycle time between shots will result in poor quality. • THERMOSET MOLDING : This technique is characterized by the requirement of heating the mold versus cooling for thermoplastic. Parts manufactured by thermoset molding are ideal for applications requiring high mechanical strength, widely usable temperature range and unique dielectric properties. Thermosetting plastics can be molded in any of the three molding processes: Compression, Injection or Transfer molding. The delivery method of the material into the mold cavities distinguishes these three techniques. For all three processes, a mold constructed of mild or hardened tool steel is heated. The mold is chrome plated to reduce wear on the mold and improve part release. Parts are ejected with hydraulically actuated ejector pins and air poppets. Part removal can either be manual or automatic. Thermoset moulded components for electrical applications require stability against flow and melt at elevated temperatures. As everyone knows, electrical and electronic components warm up during operation and only suitable plastic materials can be used for safety and long term operation. We are experienced in CE and UL qualifications of plastic components for the electronic industry. • TRANSFER MOLDING : A measured amount of molding material is preheated and inserted into a chamber known as the transfer pot. A mechanism known as the plunger forces the material from the pot through the channels known as sprue and runner system into mold cavities. While material is inserted the mold remains closed and is only opened when it is time to release the produced part. Keeping the mold walls at a higher than melting temperature of the plastic material assures fast flow of material through the cavities. We use this technique for frequently for: - Encapsulation purposes where complex metallic inserts are molded into the part - Small to medium sized parts at reasonably high volume - When parts with tight tolerances are needed and low shrinkage materials are necessary - Consistency is needed because the transfer molding technique allows consistent material delivery • THERMOFORMING : This is a generic term used to describe a group of processes to produce plastic parts from flat sheets of plastic under temperature and pressure. In this technique plastic sheets are heated and formed over a male or female mold. After forming they are trimmed to create a usable product. The trimmed material is reground and recycled. Basically there are two types of thermoforming processes, namely vacuum forming and pressure forming (which are explained below). Engineering and tooling costs are low and turnaround times are short. Therefore this method is well suited for prototyping and low volume production. Some thermoform plastic materials are ABS, HIPS, HDPE, HMWPE, PP, PVC, PMMA, modified PETG. The process is suitable for large panels, enclosures and housings and is preferable for such products to injection molding due to lower cost and faster tooling manufacture. Thermoforming is best suited for parts with important features mostly confined to one of its sides. However, AGS-TECH Inc. is capable to use the technique together with additional methods such as trimming, fabrication and assembly to manufacture parts that have critical features on both sides. • COMPRESSION MOULDING : Compression molding is a forming process where a plastic material is placed directly into a heated metal mold, where it is softened by the heat and forced to conform to the shape of the mold as the mold closes. Ejector pins in the bottom of the molds quickly eject finished pieces from the mold and the process is finished. Thermoset plastic in either preform or granular pieces is commonly used as the material. Also high-strength fiberglass reinforcements are suitable for this technique. To avoid excess flash, the material is measured prior to molding. The advantages of compression molding are its ability to mold large intricate parts, being one of the lowest cost molding methods compared with other methods such as injection moulding; little material waste. On the other hand, compression molding often provides poor product consistency and relatively difficult control of flash. When compared to injection molding, there are fewer knit lines produced and a smaller amount of fiber length degradation occurs. Compression-molding is also suitable for ultra-large basic shape production in sizes beyond the capacity of extrusion techniques. AGS-TECH uses this technique to manufacture mostly electrical parts, electrical housings, plastic cases, containers, knobs, handles, gears, relatively large flat and moderately curved parts. We possess the know-how of determining the right amount of raw material for cost efficient operation and reduced flash, adjusting to the right amount of energy and time for heating the material, choosing the most suitable heating technique for each project, calculating the required force for optimal shaping of material, optimized mould design for fast cooling after each compression cycle. • VACUUM FORMING (also described as a simplified version of THERMOFORMING) : A plastic sheet is heated until soft and draped over a mold. Vacuum is then applied and the sheet is being sucked into the mold. After the sheet takes the desired shape of the mould, it is cooled off and ejected from the mold. AGS-TECH uses sophisticated pneumatic, heat and hydrolic control to achieve high speeds in production by vacuum forming. Materials suitable for this technique are extruded thermoplastic sheets such as ABS, PETG, PS, PC, PVC, PP, PMMA, acrylic. The method is most suitable for forming plastic parts that are rather shallow in depth. However we also manufacture relatively deep parts by mechanically or pneumatically stretching the formable sheet prior to bringing it into contact with the mold surface and applying vacuum. Typical products molded by this technique are foot trays & containers, enclosures, sandwich boxes, shower trays, plastic pots, automobile dashboards. Because the technique uses low pressures, inexpensive mold materials can be used and molds can be manufactured in short time inexpensively. Low quantity production of large parts is thus a possibility. Depending on quantity of production mould functionality can be enhanced when high volume production is needed. We are professional in determining what quality of mold each project requires. It would be a waste of customer’s money and resources to manufacture an unnecessarily complex mold for a low volume production run. For example products such as enclosures for large sized medical machines for production quantities in the range of 300 to 3000 units/year can be vacuum formed from heavy gauge raw materials instead of manufactured with expensive techniques such as injection moulding or sheet metal forming. • BLOW MOULDING : We use this technique for producing hollow plastic parts (also glass parts). A preform or parison which is a tube-like plastic piece is clamped into a mould and compressed air is blown into it through the hole in one end. As a result the plastic perform / parison is pushed outward and acquires the shape of the mould cavity. After the plastic is cooled and solidified, it is ejected from the mould cavity. There are three types of this technique: -Extrusion blow moulding -Injection blow moulding -Injection stretch blow moulding Common materials used in these processes are PP, PE, PET, PVC. Typical items produced using this technique are plastic bottles, buckets, containers. • ROTATIONAL MOULDING (also called ROTAMOULDING or ROTOMOULDING) is a technique suitable to produce hollow plastic products. In rotational molding heating, melting, shaping and cooling occur after the polymer is put into the mold. No external pressure is applied. Rotamolding is economical for producing large products, mold costs are low, products are stress free, no polymer weld lines, few design constraints to deal with. The rotomolding process begins with charging the mold, in other words a controlled amount of polymer powder is put in the mould, closed and loaded into oven. Inside the oven the second process step is carried out: Heating and Fusion. The mould is rotated around two axes with relatively low speed, heating takes place and the molten polymer powder melts and sticks to the mould walls. Thereafter the third step, the cooling takes place solidifying the polymer inside the mould. Lastly, the unloading step involves opening of the mould and removal of the product. These four process steps are then repeated again and again. Some materials used in rotomoulding are LDPE, PP, EVA, PVC. Typical products produced are large plastic products such as SPA, childrens playground slides, large toys, large containers, rainwater tanks, traffic cones, canoes and kayaks...etc. Since rotationally moulded products are generally of large geometries and costly to ship, an important point to remember in rotational moulding is to consider designs that facilitate stacking of products into each other prior to shipment. We help our clients during their design phase if required. • POUR MOLDING : This method is used when multiple items need to be produced. A hollowed out block is used as a mold and filled by simply pouring the liquid material such as melted thermoplastic or a mixture of resin and hardener into it. By doing this one either produces the parts or another mold. The liquid such as plastic is then left to harden and takes on the shape of the mold cavity. Release agent materials are commonly used to release parts from the mold. Pour molding is also sometimes referred to as Plastic Potting or Urethane Casting. We use this process for inexpensively manufacturing products in the shape of statues, ornaments….etc., products that do not need excellent uniformity or excellent material properties but rather only the shape of an object. We sometimes make silicon molds for prototyping purposes. Some of our low volume projects are processed using this technique. Pour moulding can be used for manufacturing glass, metal and ceramic parts as well. Since the set-up and tooling costs are minimal, we consider this technique whenever low quantity production of multiple items with minimal tolerance requirements is on the table. For high volume production, the pour molding technique is generally not suitable because it is slow and therefore expensive when large quantities need to be manufactured. There are however exceptions where pour moulding can be used for large quantity production, such as pour molding potting compounds to encapsulate electronic and electrical components and assemblies for insulation and protection. • RUBBER MOLDING – CASTING – FABRICATION SERVICES : We custom manufacture rubber components from natural as well as synthetic rubber using some of the above explained processes. We can adjust the hardness and other mechanical properties according to your application. By incorporating other organic or inorganic additives, we can increase the heat stability of your rubber parts such as balls for high temperature cleaning purposes. Various other properties of rubber can be modified as needed and desired. Also be assured that we do not use toxic or hazardous materials for manufacturing toys or other elastomer / elastomeric molded products. We provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), conformance reports, material certifications and other documents such as ROHS compliance for our materials and products. Additional special tests are carried out at certified government or government approved laboratories if needed. We have been manufacturing automobile mats from rubber, small rubber statues and toys for many years. • SECONDARY MANUFACTURING & FABRICATION PROCESSES : Finally, keep in mind that we also offer a large variety of secondary processes such as chrome coating of plastic products for mirror-type applications or giving plastics the metal-like shiny finish. Ultrasonic welding is another example of a secondary process offered for plastic components. Yet a third example of secondary process on plastics can be surface treatment prior to coating to enhance coating adhesion. Automobile bumpers are well known to benefit from this secondary process. Metal-rubber bonding, metal-plastic bonding are other common processes we are experienced with. When we evaluate your project, we can jointly determine which secondary processes would be the most suitable for your product. Here are some of commonly used plastic products. Since these are off-the-shelf, you can save on mould costs in case any of these fits your requirements.

AGS-TECH Inc. - We are Experts in Custom Manufacturing, Engineering Integration, Value Added Logistics, Shipping, Warehousing, Just-In-Time Manufacturing..more Логистика и испорака и складирање и испорака навреме во AGS-TECH Inc. Just-In-Time (JIT) shipment is without doubt the preferred and least expensive, most efficient option. Details of this shipping option can be found on our page for Computer Integrated Manufacturing at AGS-TECH Inc. However some of our customers do need warehousing or other types of logistics services. We are able to offer you whatever logistics, shipping and warehousing service you need. In case you have a preferred shipping forwarder or an account with UPS, FEDEX, DHL or TNT we can use it too. Let us summarize our logistics, shipping, warehousing and just-in-time (JIT) services: JUST-IN-TIME (JIT) SHIPMENT: As an option, we do provide Just-In-Time (JIT) shipment to our customers. Please note that this is only an option we do offer you in case you want or need it. Computer integrated JIT eliminates waste of materials, machines, capital, manpower and inventory throughout the manufacturing system. In our computer integrated JIT we produce parts to order while matching production with demand. No stockpiles are kept, and no effort retrieving them from storage. Parts are inspected in real time as they are being manufactured and are used almost immediately. This enables continuous control and immediate identification of defective parts or process variations. Just-in-time shipment eliminates undesirably high inventory levels that mask quality and production problems. Just-in-time shipment offers our customers the option of eliminating the need for warehousing and its associated costs. Computer integrated JIT shipment results in high-quality parts and products at lower cost. WAREHOUSING: Under some circumstances, warehousing can be considered to be the best option. For example some blanket orders are more easily manufactured at one time, warehoused / stocked and then shipped to customer at predetermined dates. AGS-TECH Inc. has a network of warehouses with environmental control at strategic locations throughout the World and can minimize your logistics and shipping costs. Some components have long shelf-lives and are better manufactured at one time and warehoused. For example, some special components or assemblies cannot tolerate the smallest differences from lot-to-lot, so they are produced all at once and warehoused. Or some products that have very high machine set-up costs may need to be manufactured all at once and stocked to avoid multiple expensive machine set ups and adjustments. Always feel free to ask AGS-TECH Inc. for opinion and we will gladly provide you our feedback about the best logistics for you. AIR FREIGHT: For orders that need fast shipment, standard air shipping as well as shipment by one of the couriers such as UPS, FEDEX, DHL or TNT are popular. Standard air shipment is offered by post office such as the USPS in the United States and costs much less than the others. However USPS can take up to 10 days to ship depending on global location. Another disadvantage of USPS shipment is that at some locations and some countries, recipient may need to go and pick up the goods from the post office when they arrive. On the other hand UPS, FEDEX, DHL and TNT are more expensive but shipment is either overnight or within a few days (generally less than 5 days) to almost any location on earth. Shipment by these couriers is also easier as they handle most of the customs work as well and bring the goods to your door. These courier services even pick up the goods or samples from the address given to them so clients do not have to drive to their nearest offices. Some of our customers have an account with one of these shipping companies and provide us their account number. Then we ship their products using their account on collect basis. On the other hand some of our customers do not have an account or do prefer us to use our account. In that case we inform our customer about the shipping fee and add it to their invoice. Using our UPS or FEDEX shipping account generally saves our customers cash as we have special global rates based on our high daily shipment volumes. SEA FREIGHT: This shipment method is best suitable for heavy and large volume loads. For a partial container load from China all the way to a US port, the cost associated may be as low as a couple hundred dollars. If you live close to the arrival port of the shipment, it is easy for us to bring it to your door. However if you live far away inland, there will be additional shipping fees for inland shipment. Either way, sea shipment is inexpensive. The disadvantage of sea shipment is however that it takes more time, generally about 30 days from China to your door. This longer shipment time is partly due to waiting times at ports, loading and unloading, customs clearance. Some of our customer ask us to quote them the sea freight while others have their own shipping forwarder. When you ask us to handle the shipment we get quotes from our preferred carriers and let you know the best rates. You can then make your decision. GROUND FREIGHT: As the name implies this is the type of shipment on land by mainly trucks and trains. Many times when a customer’s shipment arrives at a seaport, it needs further transportation to final destination. The inland portion is generally done by ground freight, because it is more economical that air shipping. Also, shipping within continental US is often by ground freight that delivers the products by train or truck from one of our warehouses to customer’s door. Our customers tell us how quickly they need the products and we inform them about the various shipment options, number of days each option takes along with shipping fees. PARTIAL AIR / PARTIAL SEA FREIGHT SHIPMENT: This is a smart option we have been using in case our customer needs some components very fast while waiting for the larger portion of their shipment to be shipped by sea freight. Shipping the larger portion by sea freight saves our customer cash while he gets a smaller portion of the shipment by air via air freight or one of UPS, FEDEX, DHL or TNT quickly. This way, our customer has enough parts in stock to work with while waiting for his sea freight to arrive. PARTIAL AIR / PARTIAL GROUND FREIGHT SHIPMENT: Similar to partial air / partial sea freight shipment, this is a smart option in case you need some components or products quickly while waiting for the larger portion of the shipment to be shipped by ground freight. Shipping the larger portion by ground freight saves you cash while you get a smaller portion of the shipment by air via air freight or one of UPS, FEDEX, DHL or TNT quickly. This way, you have enough parts in stock to work with while waiting for your ground freight to arrive. DROP SHIPPING: This is an arrangement between a business and the manufacturer or distributor of a product the business wishes to sell in which the manufacturer or distributor, and not the business, ships the product to the business's customers. As a logistics service we offer drop shipment. After manufacturing, we can package, label and mark your products as you wish with your logo, brand name…etc. and ship directly to your customer. This can save you on shipping cost, because you will not need to receive, repackage and reship. Drop shipping also eliminates your inventory costs. CUSTOMS CLEARANCE: Some of our customers do have their own broker to clear shipped goods through customs. However, many customers prefer us to handle this task. Either way is acceptable. Just let us know how you want your shipment to be handled at the port of entry and we will take care of you. We have many years of experience with the customs procedures and have brokers we can refer you to. For most unfinished products or components such as metal castings, machined parts, metal stampings and injection molded components, import fees are minimal or none in most developed countries such as the US. There are legal ways to reduce or eliminate import duties by properly assigning the HS code to the products in your shipment. We are here to assist you and reduce your shipping and customs fees. CONSOLIDATION / ASSEMBLY / KITTING / PACKAGING / LABELING: These are valuable logistics services AGS-TECH Inc. provides. Some products have several different types of components that must be manufactured at different plants. These components need to be assembled together. The assembly may take place at customer’s place, or if desired, we can assemble the finished product, package, put it together into kits, label, perform quality control and ship as desired. This is a good option of logistics for customers that do have limited space and resources. These additional services added will very likely be less expensive than shipping the components from multiple locations to you, because unless you have the resources, tools and space, it will take you more time and more shipment fees to send to third parties back and forth for packaging, labeling…etc. We can them either ship the finished and packaged products to you or you can take advantage of our warehousing and drop shipping services. However, sometimes our customers ask us to ship them all the components of their kits and they only need to assemble, open up their printed and folded carton packages, label and ship to their customers a finished product. In this case they source all these components from us including custom printed boxes, labels, packaging materials….etc. This can be justified in some cases as we can fold and fit unassembled boxes and labels and materials into a smaller and denser package and save you on overall shipping cost. Once again, we do take care of our customer's international shipments and customs work in case you want us to do this. For those who are interested in knowing some of the most basic terms related to international shipment, we have a brochure you can download by clicking here. ПРЕТХОДНА СТРАНИЦА

AGS-TECH Inc. Quoting Process for Custom Manufactured Components, Subassemblies, Assemblies and Products Како цитираме проекти? Цитирање на сопствени произведени компоненти, склопови и производи Quoting off-shelf products is simple. However, more than half of the enquiries we receive are manufacturing requests for non-standard components, assemblies and products. These are categorized as CUSTOM MANUFACTURING PROJECTS. We receive from our existing as well as new potential customers RFQs (Request for Quote) and RFPs (Request for Proposals) for new projects, parts, assemblies and products on a continuous daily basis. Having to deal with out-of-the-ordinary manufacturing requests for many years, we have developed an efficient, fast, accurate quotation process that covers a wide spectrum of technologies. AGS-TECH Inc. is the World’s MOST DIVERSE ENGINEERING INTEGRATOR. The most outstanding advantage we offer you is being a one-stop source for all your manufacturing, fabrication, engineering, integration needs. QUOTING PROCESS at AGS-TECH Inc: Let us provide you some basic information about our quoting process for custom manufactured components, assemblies and products, so that when you send us RFQ and RFPs, you will better know what we need to know to provide you the most accurate quotes. Please keep in mind that the more accurate our quote is, the lower the prices will be. Ambiguities will only result in us quoting higher prices so we do not have losses at the end of a project. Understanding the quotation process will help you for all purposes. When an RFQ or RFP for a custom part or product is received by AGS-TECH Inc’s sales department, it is immediately scheduled for engineering review. Reviews take place on a daily basis and even several of these may be scheduled for a day. Participants to these meetings come from various departments such as planning, quality control, engineering, packaging, sales…etc and each makes its contribution for accurate calculation of lead times and cost. When various contributors to cost and standard lead times are added up, we come up with a total cost & lead time, from which a formal quote is drafted. The actual process involves of course much more than this. Each participant to the engineering meeting receives a preliminary document ahead of the meeting summarizing the projects that will be reviewed at a particular time and does his / her own estimations prior to the meeting. In other words, participants come prepared to these meetings and after reviewing all information as a group, refinements and adjustments are made and final numbers are calculated. Team members use advanced software tools such as GROUP TECHNOLOGY, to aid them to obtain the most accurate numbers for each quote prepared. Using Group Technology, new part designs can be developed using already existing and similar designs, thus saving a significant amount of time and work. Product designers can determine very fast whether data on a similar component already exists in the computer files. Custom manufacturing costs can more easily be estimated and the relevant statistics on materials, processes, number of parts produced, and other factors can easily be obtained. With Group Technology, process plans are standardized and scheduled more efficiently, orders are grouped for more efficient production, machine utilization is optimized, set-up times are lowered, components and assemblies are manufactured more efficiently and with higher quality. Similar tools, fixtures, machines are shared in the production of a family of parts. Since we have manufacturing operations at multiple plants, Group Technology also helps us determine which plant is the most suitable for a particular manufacturing request. In other words, the system compares and matches available equipment at each plant with the requirements of a particular part or assembly and determines which of our plant or plants are the best fit for that planned work order. Even geographic proximity of the plants to the products shipping destination and shipping prices are taken into account by our computer integrated system. Together with Group Technology, we implement CAD/CAM, cellular manufacturing, computer integrated manufacturing and improve productivity and reduce costs even in small-batch production approaching mass production prices per piece. All these capabilities along with manufacturing operations in low-cost countries enables AGS-TECH Inc., the World’s most diverse engineering integrator to provide the most outstanding quotations for custom manufacturing RFQs. Other powerful tools we use in our quoting process of custom manufactured components are COMPUTER SIMULATIONS of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES and SYSTEMS. A process simulation can be: -A model of a manufacturing operation, for the purpose of determining the viability of a process or for improving its performance. -A model of multiple processes and their interactions to help our process planners optimize process routes and layout of machinery. Frequent problems addressed by these models include process viability such as assessing the formability and behavior of a certain gauge sheet metal in a certain pressworking operation or process optimization such as analyzing the metal-flow pattern in a die forging operation to identify potential defects. This kind of information obtained help our estimators better determine whether we should quote a particular RFQ or not. If we determine to quote it, these simulations give us a better idea about the expected yields, cycle times, prices and lead times. Our dedicated software program simulates an entire manufacturing system that involves multiple processes and equipment. This helps identify critical machinery, assists in scheduling and routing of work orders and eliminates potential production bottlenecks. Scheduling and routing information obtained helps us in our quotation of RFQs. The more accurate our info is, the more accurate and lower our quoted prices will be. WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD CUSTOMERS PROVIDE AGS-TECH Inc. TO GET THE BEST PRICE QUOTE WITHIN SHORTEST TIME ? Best quotation is the one with lowest possible price (with no sacrifice on quality), shortest or customer preferred lead time formally provided to customer quickly. Providing the best quotation is always our goal, however it depends on you (the customer) just as much as on us. Here is the information we would expect from you when you send us a Request for Quote (RFQ). We may not need all of these to quote your components and assemblies, but the more of these you can provide the more likely it is that you will receive a very competitive quotation from us. - 2D Blueprints (technical drawings) of parts and assemblies. Blueprints should clearly show dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, coatings if applicable, material information, blueprint revision number or letter, Bill of Materials (BOM), part view from different directions…etc. These can be in PDF, JPEG format or else. - 3D CAD files of parts and assemblies. These can be in DFX, STL, IGES, STEP, PDES format or else. - Quantities of parts for quote. Generally, the higher the quantity the lower will be the price in our quote (please be honest with your actual quantities for quote). - If there are off-the-shelf components that are assembled with your parts, please feel free to include them in your blueprints. If assembly is complicated, separate assembly blueprints help us much in the quotation process. We may buy and assemble the off-shelf components into your products or custom manufacture depending on the economic viability. In any case we can include those in our quote. - Clearly indicate whether you want us to quote individual components or a subassembly or an assembly. This will save us time and hassle in the quotation process. -Shipping address of parts for quote. This helps us quote shipping in case you do not have a courier account or forwarder. - Indicate whether it is a batch production request or a long term repeat order that is planned. A repeat order over long term generally receives a better price quotation. A blanket order does generally also receive a better quote. - Indicate whether you want special packaging, labeling, marking…etc of your products. Indicating all your requirements in the beginning will save both parties time and effort in the quotation process. If not indicated at the beginning, we will likely need to re-quote later and this will only delay the process. - If you need us to sign an NDA prior to quoting your projects, please email them over to us. We gladly accept signing NDAs prior to quoting projects that have confidential content. If you do not have an NDA, but need one, just tell us and we will send it to you prior to quoting. Our NDA covers both sides. WHAT PRODUCT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH TO GET THE BEST PRICE QUOTE WITHIN SHORTEST TIME ? Some fundamental design considerations customers should take into account for obtaining the best quotation are: - Is it possible to simplify product design and reduce the number of components for a better quote without adversely affecting intended functions and performance ? - Were environmental considerations taken into account and incorporated into material, process and design ? Environmentally polluting technologies have higher tax burdens and disposal fees and thus indirectly result in us quoting higher prices. - Have you investigated all alternative designs ? When you send us a request for quote, please feel free to ask whether changes in design or material would make the price quote lower. We will review and give you our feedback about the effect of modifications on the quote. Alternatively you may send us several designs and compare our quotation on each. - Can unnecessary features of the product or its components be eliminated or combined with other features for a better quote ? - Have you considered modularity in your design for a family of similar products and for service and repairs, upgrading and installation ? Modularity can make us quote lower overall prices as well as reduce service and maintenance costs in the long term. For example a number of injection molded parts made of the same plastic material can be manufactured using mold inserts. Our price quotation for a mold insert is much lower than for a new mold for each part. - Can the design be made lighter and smaller ? Lightweight and smaller size not only results in better product quotation, but also saves you much on shipping cost. - Have you specified unnecessary and excessively stringent dimensional tolerances and surface finish ? The tighter the tolerances, the higher the price quote. The more difficult and tighter the surface finish requirements, again the higher the price quote. For the best quote, keep it as simple as needed. - Will it be excessively difficult and time consuming to assemble, disassemble, service, repair and recycle the product ? If so, the price quote will be higher. So again keep it as simple as possible for the best price quote. - Have you considered subassemblies ? The more value added services we add to your product such as subassembly, the better our quote will be. The overall cost of procurement will be much higher if you have several manufacturers get involved in quoting. Have us do as much as possible and for sure you will obtain the best price quote that is potentially out there. - Have you minimized the use of fasteners, their quantities and variety ? Fasteners result in higher price quotation. If easy snap-on or stacking features can be designed into the product it may result in a better price quote. - Are some of the components commercially available ? If you have an assembly for quote, please indicate on your drawing if some components are available off-the-shelf. Sometimes it is less expensive if we buy and incorporate these components instead of manufacturing them. Their manufacturer may be producing them in high volume and give us a better quote than us manufacturing them from scratch especially if the quantities are small. - If possible, choose the safest materials and designs. The safer it is, the lower will be our price quote. WHAT MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH TO GET THE BEST PRICE QUOTE WITHIN SHORTEST TIME ? Some fundamental material considerations customers should take into account for obtaining the best quotation are: - Did you select materials with properties that unnecessarily exceed minimum requirements and specifications ? If so, the price quote may be higher. For the lowest quote, try to use the least expensive material that meets or exceeds expectations. - Can some materials be replaced with less expensive ones ? This naturally lowers the price quote. - Do the materials you selected have the appropriate manufacturing characteristics ? If so, the price quote will be lower. If not, it may take more time to manufacture the parts, and we may have more tool wear and thus a higher price quote. In short, there is no need to make a part from tungsten if aluminum does the job. - Are raw materials needed for your products available in standard shapes, dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish ? If not, the price quote will be higher due to additional cutting, grinding, processing…etc. - Is the material supply reliable ? If not, our quotation may well be different each time you reorder the product. Some materials have rapidly and significantly changing prices in the global marketplace. Our quote will be better if the material used is plenty and has a stable supply. - Can the raw materials chosen be obtained in the required quantities in the desired timeframe ? For some materials, raw material suppliers have Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ). Therefore if quantities you requested are low, it may be impossible for us to get a price quote from the material supplier. Again, for some exotic materials, our procurement lead times may be too long. - Some materials are able to improve assembly and even facilitate automated assembly. This may result in a better price quote. For example a ferromagnetic material may easily be picked and placed with electromagnetic manipulators. Consult with our engineers if you do not have internal engineering resources. Automation can lead to a much better quote especially for high volume production. - Choose materials that increase stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios of structures whenever possible. This will require less raw material and thus make a lower quotation possible. - Comply with legislation and laws prohibiting the use of environmentally destructive materials. This approach will eliminate high disposal fees for destructive materials and thus make a lower quotation possible. - Choose materials that reduce performance variations, environmental sensitivity of products, improve robustness. This way, there will be less manufacturing scrap and rework and we can quote much better prices. WHAT MANUFACTURING PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD CUSTOMERS HAVE GONE THROUGH TO GET THE BEST PRICE QUOTE WITHIN SHORTEST TIME ? Some fundamental process considerations customers should take into account for obtaining the best quotation are: - Have you considered all alternative processes ? Price quote can be surprisingly lower for some processes as compared to others. Therefore, unless necessary, leave the process decision to us. We prefer to quote you considering the lowest cost option. - What are the ecological impacts of the processes ? Try to choose the most ecologically friendly processes. This will result in a lower price quotation because of lower environment related fees. - Are the processing methods considered economical for the type of material, shape produced, and production rate ? If these match well with the processing method, you will receive a more appealing quotation. - Can requirements for tolerances, surface finish, and product quality be met consistently ? The more the consistency, the lower our price quotation and the shorter the lead time. - Can your components be produced to final dimensions without additional finishing operations ? If so, this will give us the opportunity to quote lower prices. - Is the tooling required available or manufacturable at our plants ? Or can we purchase it as an off-shelf item ? If so, we can quote better prices. If not we will need to procure and add it to our quotation. For best quote, try to keep designs and required processes as simple as possible. - Did you think of minimizing the scrap by choosing the right process ? The lower the scrap the lower the quoted price ? We may be able to sell some scrap and deduct from the quote in some cases, but most of the scrap metal and plastics produced during processing are of low value. - Give us the opportunity to optimize all processing parameters. This will result in a more appealing quote. For example, if four weeks lead time is good for you, don’t insist on two weeks which will force us to machine parts faster and therefore have more tool damage, as this will be calculated into the quotation. - Have you explored all the automation possibilities for all phases of the production ? If not, reconsidering your project along these lines can result in a lower price quote. - We implement Group Technology for parts with similar geometries and manufacturing attributes. You will receive a better quotation if you send over RFQs for more parts with similarities in geometry and design. If we evaluate them at the same time together, we will most likely quote lower prices for each (with the condition that they are ordered together). - If you have special inspection and quality control procedures to be implemented by us, make sure they are useful and not misleading. We cannot take responsibility for mistakes arising due to ill-designed procedures imposed on us. Generally speaking, our quotation is more appealing if we implement our own procedures. - For high volume production, our quote will be better if we manufacture all components in your assembly. However, sometimes for low volume production, our final quote can be lower if we can purchase some of the standard items that go into your assembly. Consult with us prior to making a decision.

Quality Management at AGS-TECH Inc. All our manufacturing operations are conducted under strict QMS guidelines, Total Quality Management TQM guidelines, SPC... Управување со квалитет во AGS-TECH Inc All plants manufacturing parts and products for AGS-TECH Inc are certified to one or several of the following QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS) standards: - ISO 9001 - TS 16949 - QS 9000 - AS 9100 - ISO 13485 - ISO 14000 Besides the above listed quality management systems, we assure our customers highest quality products and services by manufacturing according to well recognized international standards and certifications such as: - UL, CE, EMC, FCC and CSA Certification Marks, FDA Listing, DIN / MIL / ASME / NEMA / SAE / JIS /BSI / EIA / IEC / ASTM / IEEE Standards, IP, Telcordia, ANSI, NIST The specific standards that apply to a certain product depend on the nature of the product, its application field, usage and customer’s request. We see quality as an area that needs continuous improvement and therefore we never restrict ourselves with these standards only. We continuously strive to increase our quality levels at all plants and all areas, departments and product lines by focusing on: - Six Sigma - Total Quality Management (TQM) - Statistical Process Control (SPC) - Life Cycle Engineering / Sustainable Manufacturing - Robustness in Design, Manufacturing Processes and Machinery - Agile Manufacturing - Value Added Manufacturing - Computer Integrated Manufacturing - Concurrent Engineering - Lean Manufacturing - Flexible Manufacturing For those who are interested in expanding their understanding on quality, let us briefly discuss these. THE ISO 9001 STANDARD: Model for quality assurance in design/development, production, installation, and servicing. The ISO 9001 quality standard is used worldwide and is one of the most common. For initial certification as well as for timely renewals, our plants are visited and audited by accredited independent third-party teams to certify that the quality management standard’s 20 key elements are in place and functioning correctly. The ISO 9001 quality standard is not a product certification, rather a quality process certification. Our plants are periodically audited to maintain this quality standard accreditation. Registration symbolizes our commitment to conform to consistent practices, as specified by our quality system (quality in design, development, production, installation and servicing), including proper documentation of such practices. Our plants are also assured of such good quality practices by demanding our suppliers to be registered too. THE ISO/TS 16949 STANDARD: This is an ISO technical specification aimed at the development of a quality management system that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. It is based on the ISO 9001 quality standard. TS16949 quality standard applies to the design/development, production and, when relevant, installation and servicing of automotive-related products. The requirements are intended to be applied throughout the supply chain. Many of AGS-TECH Inc. plants maintain this quality standard instead of or in addition to the ISO 9001. THE QS 9000 STANDARD: Developed by the automotive giants, this quality standard has extras in addition to the ISO 9000 quality standard. All of the ISO 9000 quality standard’s clauses serve as the foundation of the QS 9000 quality standard. AGS-TECH Inc. plants serving especially the automotive industry are certified to QS 9000 quality standard. THE AS 9100 STANDARD: This is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for the aerospace industry. AS9100 replaces the earlier AS9000 and fully incorporates the entirety of the current version of ISO 9000, while adding requirements relating to quality and safety. The aerospace industry is a high risk sector, and regulatory control is needed to assure that the safety and quality of services offered in the sector are world class. Plants manufacturing our aerospace components are certified to the AS 9100 quality standard. THE ISO 13485:2003 STANDARD: This standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and related services. The main objective of ISO 13485:2003 quality standard is to facilitate harmonized medical device regulatory requirements for quality management systems. Therefore, it includes some particular requirements for medical devices and excludes some of the requirements of ISO 9001 quality system that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements permit exclusions of design and development controls, this can be used as a justification for their exclusion from the quality management system. AGS-TECH Inc’s medical products such as endoscopes, fiberscopes, implants are manufactured at plants that are certified to this quality management system standard. THE ISO 14000 STANDARD: This family of standards pertains to the international Environmental Management Systems. It concerns the way an organization’s activities affect the environment throughout the life of its products. These activities can range from production to disposal of the product after its useful life, and include effects on the environment including pollution, waste generation & disposal, noise, depletion of natural resources and energy. The ISO 14000 standard is related more to the environment rather than quality, but still it is one that many of AGS-TECH Inc.’s global production facilities are certified to. Indirectly though, this standard definitely can increase quality at a facility. WHAT ARE THE UL, CE, EMC, FCC and CSA CERTIFICATION LISTING MARKS ? WHO NEEDS THEM ? THE UL MARK: If a product carries the UL Mark, Underwriters Laboratories found that samples of this product met UL's safety requirements. These requirements are primarily based on UL's own published Standards for Safety. This type of Mark is seen on most appliances and computer equipment, furnaces and heaters, fuses, electrical panel boards, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, flotation devices such as life jackets, and many other products throughout the World and especially in the USA. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the US market are affixed with UL mark. In addition to manufacturing their products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the UL qualification and marking process.Product testing can be verified through UL directories online at http://www.ul.com THE CE MARK: The European Commission allows manufacturers to circulate industrial products with CE mark freely within the internal market of the EU. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the EU market are affixed with CE mark. In addition to manufacturing their products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the CE qualification and marking process.The CE mark certifies that the products have met EU health, safety and environmental requirements that ensure consumer and workplace safety. All manufacturers in the EU as well as outside the EU must affix the CE mark to those products covered by the ''New Approach'' directives in order to market their products within the EU territory. When a product receives the CE mark, it can be marketed throughout the EU without undergoing further product modification. Most products covered by New Approach Directives can be self-certified by the manufacturer and do not require the intervention of an EU-authorized independent testing/certifying company. To self-certify, the manufacturer must assess the conformity of the products to the applicable directives and standards. While the use of EU harmonized standards is voluntary in theory, in practice the use of European standards is the best way to meet the requirements of the CE mark directives, because the standards offer specific guidelines and tests to meet safety requirements, while the directives, general in nature, do not. The manufacturer may affix the CE mark to their product after preparing a declaration of conformity, the certificate which shows the product conforms to the applicable requirements. The declaration must include the manufacturer's name and address, the product, the CE mark directives that apply to the product, e.g. the machine directive 93/37/EC or the low voltage directive 73/23/EEC, the European standards used, e.g. EN 50081-2:1993 for the EMC directive or EN 60950:1991 for the low voltage requirement for information technology. The declaration must show the signature of a company official for purposes of the company assuming liability for the safety of its product in the European market. This European standards organization has set up the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. According to CE, The Directive basically states that products must not emit unwanted electromagnetic pollution (interference). Because there is a certain amount of electromagnetic pollution in the environment, the Directive also states that products must be immune to a reasonable amount of interference. The Directive itself gives no guidelines on the required level of emissions or immunity that is left to the standards that are used to demonstrate compliance with the Directive. The EMC-directive (89/336/EEC) Electromagnetic Compatibility Like all other directives, this is a new-approach directive, which means that only the main requirements (essential requirements) are required. The EMC-directive mentions two ways of showing compliance to the main requirements: •Manufacturers declaration (route acc. art. 10.1) •Type testing using the TCF (route acc. to art. 10.2) The LVD-directive (73/26/EEC) Safety Like all CE-related directives, this is a new-approach directive, which means that only the main requirements (essential requirements) are required. The LVD-directive describes how to show compliance to the main requirements. THE FCC MARK: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions. All devices that operate at a clock rate of 9 kHz are required to be tested to the appropriate FCC Code. AGS-TECH Inc. relevant products for the US market are affixed with FCC mark. In addition to manufacturing their electronic products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the FCC qualification and marking process. THE CSA MARK: The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is a nonprofit association serving business, industry, government and consumers in Canada and the global marketplace. Among many other activities, CSA develops standards that enhance public safety. As a nationally recognized testing laboratory, CSA is familiar with U.S. requirements. According to OSHA regulations, the CSA-US Mark qualifies as an alternative to the UL Mark. WHAT IS FDA LISTING ? WHICH PRODUCTS NEED FDA LISTING ? A medical device is FDA-listed if the firm that manufactures or distributes the medical device has successfully completed an online listing for the device through the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System. Medical devices that do not require FDA review before the devices are marketed are considered ''510(k) exempt.'' These medical devices are mostly low-risk, Class I devices and some Class II devices that have been determined not to require a 510(k) to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. Most establishments that are required to register with the FDA are also required to list the devices that are made at their facilities and the activities that are performed on those devices. If a device requires premarket approval or notification before being marketed in the U.S., then the owner/operator should also provide the FDA premarket submission number (510(k), PMA, PDP, HDE). AGS-TECH Inc. does market and sell some products such as implants that are FDA listed. In addition to manufacturing their medical products, as a service we can guide our customers throughout the FDA listing process. More information as well as most current FDA listings can be found on http://www.fda.gov WHAT ARE THE POPULAR STANDARDS AGS-TECH Inc. MANUFACTURING PLANTS COMPLY WITH ? Different customers demand from AGS-TECH Inc. compliance to different norms. Sometimes it is a matter of choice but many times the request depends on customer’s geographic location, or industry they serve, or product’s application…etc. Here are some of the most common ones: DIN STANDARDS: DIN, the German Institute for Standardization develops norms for rationalization, quality assurance, environmental protection, safety and communication in industry, technology, science, government, and the public domain. DIN norms provide companies a basis for quality, safety and minimum functionality expectations and enable you to minimize risk, improve marketability, promote interoperability. MIL STANDARDS: This is a United States defense or military norm, ''MIL-STD'', ''MIL-SPEC'', and is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense. Standardization is beneficial in achieving interoperability, ensuring products meet certain requirements, commonality, reliability, total cost of ownership, compatibility with logistics systems, and other defense-related objectives. It is important to note that defense norms are also used by other non-defense government organizations, technical organizations, and industry. ASME STANDARDS: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is multidisciplinary and global. ASME is one of the oldest standards-developing organizations in the US. It produces approximately 600 codes and standards covering many technical areas, such as fasteners, plumbing fixtures, elevators, pipelines, and power plant systems and components. Many ASME standards are referred to by government agencies as tools to meet their regulatory objectives. ASME norms are therefore voluntary, unless they have been incorporated into a legally binding business contract or incorporated into regulations enforced by an authority having jurisdiction, such as a federal, state, or local government agency. ASME are used in more than 100 countries and have been translated into many languages. NEMA STANDARDS: The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers in the US. Its member companies manufacture products used in the generation, transmission, distribution, control, and end use of electricity. These products are used in utility, industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential applications. NEMA’s Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance division represents manufacturers of cutting-edge medical diagnostic imaging equipment including MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound products. In addition to lobbying activities, NEMA publishes more than 600 standards, application guides, white and technical papers. SAE STANDARDS: SAE International, initially established as the Society of Automotive Engineers, is a U.S.-based, globally active professional association and standards organization for engineering professionals in various industries. Principal emphasis is placed on transport industries including automotive, aerospace, and commercial vehicles. SAE International coordinates the development of technical standards based on best practices. Task forces are brought together from engineering professionals of relevant fields. SAE International provides a forum for companies, government agencies, research institutions…etc. to devise technical standards and recommended practices for the design, construction, and characteristics of motor vehicle components. SAE documents do not carry any legal force, but are in some cases referenced by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada in those agencies' vehicle regulations for the United States and Canada. However, outside North America, SAE documents are generally not a primary source of technical provisions in vehicle regulations. SAE publishes more than 1,600 technical standards and recommended practices for passenger cars and other road travelling vehicles and over 6,400 technical documents for the aerospace industry. JIS STANDARDS: Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specify the norms used for industrial activities in Japan. The standardization process is coordinated by the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee and published through the Japanese Standards Association. The Industrial Standardization Law was revised in 2004 and the ''JIS mark'' (product certification) was changed. Starting October 1, 2005, the new JIS mark has been applied upon re-certification. The use of the old mark was allowed during the three-year transition period until September 30, 2008; and every manufacturer obtaining new or renewing their certification under the authority's approval has been able to use the new JIS mark. Therefore all JIS-certified Japanese products have had the new JIS mark since October 1, 2008. BSI STANDARDS: British Standards are produced by BSI Group which is incorporated and formally designated as the National Standards Body (NSB) for the UK. The BSI Group produces British norms under the authority of the Charter, which lays down as one of the BSI's objectives to set up norms of quality for goods and services, and prepare and promote the general adoption of British Standards and schedules in connection therewith and from time to time to revise, alter and amend such standards and schedules as experience and circumstances require. The BSI Group currently has over 27,000 active standards. Products are commonly specified as meeting a particular British Standard, and generally this can be done without any certification or independent testing. The standard simply provides a shorthand way of claiming that certain specifications are met, while encouraging manufacturers to adhere to a common method for such a specification. The Kitemark can be used to indicate certification by BSI, but only where a Kitemark scheme has been set up around a particular standard. Products and services which BSI certifies as having met the requirements of specific standards within designated schemes are awarded the Kitemark. It is mainly applicable to safety and quality management. There is a common misunderstanding that Kitemarks are necessary to prove compliance with any BS standard, but in general it is neither desirable nor possible that every standard be 'policed' in this way. Because of the move on harmonization of standards in Europe, some British Standards have been gradually superseded or replaced by the relevant European norms (EN). EIA STANDARDS: The Electronic Industries Alliance was a standards and trade organization composed as an alliance of trade associations for electronics manufacturers in the United States, which developed standards to ensure the equipment of different manufacturers was compatible and interchangeable. The EIA ceased operations on February 11, 2011, but the former sectors continue to serve the constituencies of EIA. EIA designated ECA to continue to develop standards for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical electronic components under the ANSI-designation of EIA standards. All other electronic components norms are managed by their respective sectors. ECA is expected to merge with the National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) to form the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA). However, the EIA standards brand will continue for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical (IP&E) electronic components within ECIA. The EIA divided its activities into the following sectors: •ECA – Electronic Components, Assemblies, Equipment & Supplies Association •JEDEC – JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (formerly the Joint Electron Devices Engineering Councils) •GEIA – Now part of TechAmerica, it is the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association •TIA – Telecommunications Industry Association •CEA – Consumer Electronics Association IEC STANDARDS: The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a World organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. More than 10 000 experts from industry, commerce, governments, test and research labs, academia and consumer groups participate in IEC’s Standardization work. The IEC is one of three global sister organizations (they are IEC, ISO, ITU) that develop International Standards for the World. Whenever needed, the IEC cooperates with ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union) to ensure that International Standards fit together well and complement each other. Joint committees ensure that International Standards combine all relevant knowledge of experts working in related areas. Many devices around the World that contain electronics, and use or produce electricity, rely on IEC International Standards and Conformity Assessment Systems to perform, fit and work safely together. ASTM STANDARDS: ASTM International, (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials), is an international organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. Over 12,000 ASTM voluntary consensus standards operate globally. ASTM was established earlier than the other standards organizations. ASTM International has no role in requiring nor enforcing compliance with its standards. They may however be considered mandatory when referenced by a contract, corporation, or government entity. In the United States, ASTM standards have been widely adopted by incorporation or by reference, in many federal, state, and municipal government regulations. Other governments also have referenced ASTM in their work. Corporations doing international business frequently reference an ASTM standard. As an example, all toys sold in the United States must meet the safety requirements of ASTM F963. IEEE STANDARDS: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is an organization within IEEE that develops global standards for a wide range of industries: power and energy, biomedical and health care, information technology, telecommunication and home automation, transportation, nanotechnology, information security, and others. The IEEE-SA has developed them for over a century. Experts from all over the world contribute to the development of IEEE standards. IEEE-SA is a community and not a government body. ANSI ACCREDITATION: The American National Standards Institute is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. The organization also coordinates U.S. standards with international standards in an effort that American products can be used worldwide. ANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, …etc. These standards ensure that the characteristics and performance of products are consistent, that people use the same definitions and terms, and that products are tested the same way. ANSI also accredits organizations that carry out product or personnel certification in accordance with requirements defined in international standards. The ANSI itself does not develop standards, but oversees the development and use of standards by accrediting the procedures of standards developing organizations. ANSI accreditation signifies that the procedures used by standards developing organizations meet the Institute's requirements for openness, balance, consensus, and due process. ANSI also designates specific standards as American National Standards (ANS), when the Institute determines that the standards were developed in an environment that is equitable, accessible and responsive to the requirements of various stakeholders. Voluntary consensus standards quicken the market acceptance of products while making clear how to improve the safety of those products for the protection of consumers. There are approximately 9,500 American National Standards that carry the ANSI designation. In addition to facilitating the formation of these in the United States, ANSI promotes the use of U.S. standards internationally, advocates U.S. policy and technical positions in international and regional organizations, and encourages the adoption of international and national standards where appropriate. NIST REFERENCE: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is a measurement standards laboratory, which is a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. The institute's official mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. As part of its mission, NIST supplies industry, academia, government, and other users with over 1,300 Standard Reference Materials. These artifacts are certified as having specific characteristics or component content, used as calibration standards for measuring equipment and procedures, quality control benchmarks for industrial processes, and experimental control samples. NIST publishes the Handbook 44 that provides the specifications, tolerances, and other technical requirements for weighing and measuring devices. WHAT ARE THE OTHER TOOLS AND METHODS AGS-TECH Inc. PLANTS DEPLOY TO PROVIDE HIGHEST QUALITY ? SIX SIGMA: This is a set of statistical tools based on well known total quality management principles, to continually measure the quality of products and services in selected projects. This total quality management philosophy includes considerations such as ensuring customer satisfaction, delivering defect-free products, and understanding process capabilities. The six sigma quality management approach consists of a clear focus on defining the problem, measuring relevant quantities, analyzing, improving, and controlling processes and activities. Six Sigma quality management at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that aims for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects and driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit in any process ranging from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. To achieve Six Sigma quality level, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. A Six Sigma defect is defined as anything outside of customer specifications. The fundamental objective of the Six Sigma quality methodology is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on process improvement and variation reduction. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM): This is a comprehensive and structured approach to organizational management that aims for the improvement of quality in products and services through ongoing refinements in response to continuous feedback. In a total quality management effort, all members of an organization participate in improving processes, products, services, and the culture in which they work. Total Quality Management requirements may be defined separately for a particular organization or may be defined through established standards, such as the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 9000 series. Total Quality Management can be applied to any type of organization, including production plants, schools, highway maintenance, hotel management, government institutes…etc. STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL (SPC): This is a powerful statistical technique used in quality control for on-line monitoring of part production and rapid identification of of the sources of quality problems. The goal of SPC is to prevent defects from occurring rather than to detect defects in production. SPC enables us to produce a million parts with only a few defective ones that fail quality inspection. LIFE CYCLE ENGINEERING / SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING: Life cycle engineering is concerned with environmental factors as they relate to design, optimization and technical considerations regarding each component of a product or process life cycle. It is not so much a quality concept. The goal of life cycle engineering is to consider the reuse and recycling of products from their earliest stage of design process. A related term, sustainable manufacturing emphasizes the need to conserving natural resources such as materials and energy through maintenance and reuse. As such, neither is this a quality related concept, but an environmental. ROBUSTNESS IN DESIGN, MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND MACHINERY: Robustness is a design, a process, or a system that continues to function within acceptable parameters despite variations in its environment. Such variations are considered noise, they are difficult or impossible to control, such as variations in ambient temperature and humidity, vibrations on shop floor…etc. Robustness is related to quality, the more robust a design, process or system, the higher will be the quality of products and service. AGILE MANUFACTURING: This is a term indicating the use of the principles of lean production on a broader scale. It is ensuring flexibility (agility) in the manufacturing enterprise so that it can quickly respond to changes in product variety, demand and customer needs. It can be considered as a quality concept since it aims for customer satisfaction. Agility is achieved with machines and equipment that has built-in flexibility and reconfigurable modular structure. Other contributors to agility are advanced computer hardware & software, reduced changeover time, implementation of advanced communications systems. VALUE ADDED MANUFACTURING: Even though this is not directly related to quality management, it does have indirect effects on quality. We strive to add additional value in our production processes and services. Instead of having your products produced at many locations and suppliers, it is much more economical and better from a quality point of view to have them produced by one or only a few good suppliers. Receiving and then shipping your parts to another plant for nickel plating or anodizing will only result in increasing the chances of quality problems and add to cost. Therefore we strive to perform all the additional processes for your products, so you get a better value for your money and of course better quality due to lower risk of mistakes or damages during packaging, shipping….etc. from plant to plant. AGS-TECH Inc. offers all the quality parts, components, assemblies and finished products you need from a single source. To minimize quality risks we also do the final packaging and labeling of your products if you want it. COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING: You can find out more on this key concept for better quality on our dedicated page by clicking here. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: This is a systematic approach integrating the design and manufacture of products with the view toward optimizing all elements involved in the life cycle of the products. The main goals of concurrent engineering are to minimize product design and engineering changes, and the time and costs involved in taking the product from design concept to production and introduction of the product into the marketplace. Concurrent engineering does however need top management’s support, have multifunctional and interacting work teams, need to utilize state-of-the-art technologies. Even though this approach is not directly related to quality management, it does indirectly contribute to the quality in a workplace.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) at AGS-TECH Inc. We offer Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Holonic Lean Manufacturing Компјутерски интегрирано производство во AGS-TECH Inc Our COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (CIM) SYSTEMS interlink the functions of product design, research and development, production, assembly, inspection, quality control and others. AGS-TECH’s computer integrated manufacturing activities include: - COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) and ENGINEERING (CAE) - COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAM) - COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING (CAPP) - COMPUTER SIMULATION of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES and SYSTEMS - GROUP TECHNOLOGY - CELLULAR MANUFACTURING - FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS (FMS) - HOLONIC MANUFACTURING - JUST-IN-TIME PRODUCTION (JIT) - LEAN MANUFACTURING - EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) and ENGINEERING (CAE): We use computers to create design drawings and geometric models of products. Our powerful software like CATIA enables us to conduct engineering analysis to identify potential problems such as interference at mating surfaces during assembly. Other information such as materials, specifications, manufacturing instructions…etc. are also stored in the CAD database. Our customers can submit us their CAD drawings in any of the popular formats used in the industry, such as DFX, STL, IGES, STEP, PDES. Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) on the other hand simplifies the creation of our database and allows various applications to share the information in the database. These shared applications include valuable information from finite-element analysis of stresses and deflections, temperature distribution in structures, NC data to name a few. After geometric modeling, the design is subjected to engineering analysis. This may consist of tasks such as analyzing stresses and strains, vibrations, deflections, heat transfer, distribution of temperature and dimensional tolerances. We use special software for these tasks. Prior to production, we may sometimes conduct experiments and measurements to verify the actual effects of loads, temperature and other factors on the component samples. Again, we do use special software packages with animation capabilities to identify potential problems with moving components in dynamic situations. This capability makes it possible to review and evaluate our designs in an effort to precisely dimension the parts and set appropriate production tolerances. Detail and working drawings are also produced with the help of these software tools we use. The database management systems which are built into our CAD systems allow our designers to identify, view and access parts from a library of stock parts. We must emphasize that CAD and CAE are two essential elements of our computer integrated manufacturing system. COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAM): Without doubt, another essential element of our computer integrated manufacturing system is CAM which reduces cost and increases productivity. This involves all phases of manufacturing where we use computer technology and enhanced CATIA, including process and production planning, scheduling, manufacture, QC and management. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing are combined into CAD/CAM systems. This allows us to transfer information from the design stage to planning stage for the product manufacture without the need to manually reenter the data on part geometry. The database developed by CAD is further processed by CAM into the necessary data and instructions for operating and controlling production machinery, automated testing and inspection of products. CAD/CAM system allows us to display and visually check tool paths for possible tool collisions with fixtures and clamps in operations such as machining. Then, if needed, the tool path can be modified by the operator. Our CAD/CAM system is also capable of coding and classifying parts into groups that have similar shapes. COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING (CAPP): Process planning involves the selection of production methods, tooling, fixturing, machinery, operations sequence, standard processing times for individual operations and assembly methods. With our CAPP system we view the total operation as an integrated system with individual operations being coordinated with each other to produce the part. In our computer integrated manufacturing system, CAPP is an essential adjunct to CAD/CAM. It is vital for efficient planning and scheduling. The process-planning capabilities of computers can be integrated into the planning and control of production systems as a subsystem of computer-integrated manufacturing. These activities enable us capacity planning, control of inventory, purchasing and production scheduling. As part of our CAPP we have computer-based ERP system for effective planning and control of all the resources needed to take orders for products, produce them, ship them to the customers, service them, do the accounting and billing. Our ERP system is not only to the benefit of our corporation, but indirectly also to the benefit of our customers. COMPUTER SIMULATION of MANUFACTURING PROCESSES and SYSTEMS: We use finite-element analysis (FEA) for process simulations of specific manufacturing operations as well as for multiple processes and their interactions. Process viability is routinely studied using this tool. An example is assessing the formability and behavior of sheet metal in pressworking operation, process optimization by analyzing the metal-flow pattern in forging a blank and identifying potential defects. Yet another example application of FEA would be to improve mold design in casting operation to reduce and eliminate hot spots and minimize defects by achieving uniform cooling. Entire integrated manufacturing systems are also simulated to organize plant machinery, achieve better scheduling and routing. Optimizing the sequence of operations and organization of machinery helps us effectively reduce manufacturing costs in our computer integrated production environments. GROUP TECHNOLOGY: The group technology concept seeks to take advantage of the design and processing similarities among the parts to be produced. It is a valuable concept in our computer integrated lean manufacturing system. Many parts have similarities in their shape and method of manufacture. For example all shafts can be categorized into one family of parts. Similarly, all seals or flanges can be categorized into the same families of parts. Group technology helps us in economically manufacturing an ever-larger variety of products, each in smaller quantities as batch production. In other words, group technology is our key for inexpensive manufacturing of small quantity orders. In our cellular manufacturing, machines are arranged in an integrated efficient product flow line, named “group layout”. The manufacturing cell layout depends on the common features in parts. In our group technology system parts are identified and grouped into families by our computer controlled classification and coding system. This identification and grouping is done according to parts design and manufacturing attributes. Our advanced computer integrated decision-tree coding / hybrid coding combines both design and manufacturing attributes. Implementing group technology as part of our computer integrated manufacturing helps AGS-TECH Inc. by: -Making possible the standardization of part designs / minimization of design duplications. Our product designers can easily determine whether data on a similar part already exists in the computer database. New part designs can be developed using already existing similar designs, thereby saving on design costs. -Making data from our designers and planners stored in the computer integrated database available to less experienced personnel. -Enabling statistics on materials, processes, number of produced parts….etc. easy to be used to estimate manufacturing costs of similar parts and products. -Allowing efficient standardization and scheduling of process plans, grouping of orders for efficient production, better machine utilization, reducing setup times, facilitating the sharing of similar tools, fixtures and machines in the production of a family of parts, increasing overall quality in our computer integrated manufacturing facilities. -Improving productivity and reducing costs especially in small-batch production where it is needed the most. CELLULAR MANUFACTURING: Manufacturing cells are small units consisting of one or more computer integrated workstations. A workstation contains either one or several machines, each of which performs a different operation on the part. Manufacturing cells are effective in producing families of parts for which there is a relatively constant demand. Machine tools used in our manufacturing cells are generally lathes, milling machines, drills, grinders, machining centers, EDM, injection molding machines…etc. Automation is implemented in our computer integrated manufacturing cells, with automated loading/unloading of blanks and workpieces, automated changing of tools and dies, automated transfer of tools, dies and workpieces between workstations, automated scheduling and control of operations in the manufacturing cell. In addition, automated inspection and testing takes place in the cells. Computer integrated cellular manufacturing offers us reduced work in progress and economic savings, improved productivity, ability to detect quality issues right away without delay among other benefits. We also deploy computer integrated flexible manufacturing cells with CNC machines, machining centers and industrial robots. The flexibility of our manufacturing operations offers us the advantage of adapting to rapid changes in market demand and manufacturing more product variety in smaller quantities. We are able to process very different parts quickly in sequence. Our computer integrated cells can manufacture parts in batch sizes of 1 pc at a time with negligible delay between parts. These very short delays in between are for downloading new machining instructions. We have achieved building unattended computer integrated cells (unmanned) for economically manufacturing your small orders. FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS (FMS): Major elements of manufacturing are integrated into a highly automated system. Our FMS consist of a number of cells each containing an industrial robot that serves several CNC machines and an automated material-handling system, all interfaced with a central computer. Specific computer instructions for the manufacturing process can be downloaded for each successive part that passes through a workstation. Our computer integrated FMS systems can handle a variety of part configurations and produce them in any order. Furthermore the time required for changeover to a different part is very short and therefore we can respond very quickly to product and market-demand variations. Our computer controlled FMS systems carry out machining and assembly operations involving CNC machining, grinding, cutting, forming, powder metallurgy, forging, sheet metal forming, heat treatments, finishing, cleaning, part inspection. Material handling is controlled by central computer and carried out by automated guided vehicles, conveyors or other transfer mechanisms depending on production. Transportation of raw materials, blanks and parts in various stages of completion can be made to any machine, in any order at any time. Dynamic process planning and scheduling takes place, capable of responding to quick changes in product type. Our computer integrated dynamic scheduling system specifies the types of operations to be performed on each part and identifies the machines to be used. In our computer integrated FMS systems no setup time is wasted when switching between manufacturing operations. Different operations can be carried out in different orders and on different machines. HOLONIC MANUFACTURING: Components in our holonic manufacturing system are independent entities while being a subservient part of a hierarchical & computer integrated organization. In other words they are part of a “Whole”. Our manufacturing holons are autonomous and cooperative building blocks of a computer integrated manufacturing system for production, storage, and transfer of objects or information. Our computer integrated holarchies can be created and dissolved dynamically, depending on the current needs of the particular manufacturing operation. Our computer integrated manufacturing environment enables maximum flexibility through providing intelligence within holons to support all production and control functions required to complete production tasks and manage the equipment and systems. The computer integrated manufacturing system reconfigures into operational hierarchies to optimally produce products with holons being added or removed as needed. AGS-TECH factories consist of a number of resource holons available as separate entities in a resource pool. Examples are CNC milling machine and operator, CNC grinder and operator, CNC lathe and operator. When we receive a purchase order, an order holon is formed which starts to communicate and negotiate with our available resource holons. As an example, a work order may require the use of a CNC lathe, CNC grinder and an automated inspection station to organize them into a production holon. Production bottlenecks are identified and eliminated through computer integrated communication and negotiation between holons in the resource pool. JUST-IN-TIME PRODUCTION (JIT): As an option, we do provide Just-In-Time (JIT) production to our customers. Again, this is only an option we do offer to you in case you want or need it. Computer integrated JIT eliminates waste of materials, machines, capital, manpower and inventory throughout the manufacturing system. Our computer integrated JIT production involves: -Receiving supplies just in time to be used -Producing parts just in time to be turned into subassemblies -Producing subassemblies just in time to be assembled into finished products -Production and delivery of finished products just in time to be sold In our computer integrated JIT we produce parts to order while matching production with demand. There are no stockpiles, and no extra motions retrieving them from storage. In addition, parts are inspected in real time as they are being manufactured and are used within a short time period. This enables us to maintain control continuously and immediately to identify defective parts or process variations. Computer integrated JIT eliminates undesirable high inventory levels which can mask quality and production problems. All operations and resources that do not add value are eliminated. Our computer integrated JIT production offers our customers the option of eliminating the need to rent large warehouses and storage facilities. Computer integrated JIT results in high-quality parts and products at low cost. As part of our JIT system, we do use computer integrated KANBAN bar-coding system for production and conveyance of parts and components. On the other hand, JIT production may lead to higher production costs and higher per piece prices for our products. LEAN MANUFACTURING: This involves our systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste and non-value added activities in every area of manufacturing through continuous improvement, and emphasizing product flow in a pull system rather than a push system. We continuously review all our activities from the viewpoint of our customers and optimize processes to maximize added value. Our computer integrated lean manufacturing activities include elimination or minimization of inventory, minimization of waiting times, maximization of our workers efficiency, elimination of unnecessary processes, minimization of product transportation and elimination of defects. EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION NETWORKS: For high level coordination and efficiency of operation in our computer integrated manufacturing we have an extensive, interactive high-speed communications network. We deploy LAN, WAN, WLAN and PANs for effective computer integrated communication between personnel, machines and buildings. Different networks are linked or integrated through gateways and bridges using secure file transfer protocols (FTP). ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS: This relatively new area of computer science finds applications to some degree in our computer integrated manufacturing systems. We take advantage of expert systems, computer machine vision and artificial neural networks. Expert systems are used in our computer-aided design, process planning and production scheduling. In our systems incorporating machine vision, computers and software are combined with cameras and optical sensors to perform operations like inspection, identification, sorting of parts and guiding robots.

Automation, Small-Batch and Mass Production at AGS-TECH Inc. We manufacture low and high volume custom parts, subassemblies and assemblies for our customers. Automation / Small-Batch and Mass Production at AGS-TECH Inc In order to maintain our top spot as an outstanding supplier and engineering integrator with competitive prices, on-time delivery and high quality, we implement AUTOMATION in all areas of our business, including: - Manufacturing processes and operations - Material handling - Process and product Inspection - Assembly - Packaging Various levels of automation are required depending on product, quantities manufactured, and processes used. We are capable of automating our processes just to the right extent in order to meet the requirements of each order. In other words, if a high level of flexibility is required and quantities produced are low for a particular order, we assign the work order to our JOB SHOP or RAPID PROTOTYPING facility. At the other extreme, for an order that requires minimum flexibility but maximum productivity, we assign the production to our FLOWLINES and TRANSFER LINES. Automation provides us the advantages of integration, improved product quality and uniformity, reduced cycle-times, reduced labor costs, improved productivity, more economic use of floor space, safer environment for high volume production orders. We are equipped for both SMALL-BATCH PRODUCTION with quantities typically ranging between 10 to 100 pieces as well as MASS PRODUCTION involving quantities over 100,000 pieces. Our mass production facilities are equipped with automation equipment which are dedicated special-purpose machinery. Our facilities can accomodate low and high quantity orders because they operate with a variety of machines in combination and with various levels of automation and computer controls. SMALL-BATCH PRODUCTION: Our job shop personnel for small-batch production is highly skilled and experienced in working on special small quantity orders. Our labor costs are very competitive thanks to our highly skilled large number of workers at our China, South Korea, Taiwan, Poland, Slovakia and Malaysia facilities. Small-batch production has always been and will be one of our major areas of service and complements our automated production processes. Manual small-batch production operations with conventional machine tools does not compete with our automation flowlines, it offers us additional extraordinary capabilities and strength that manufacturers with purely automated production lines do not have. Under no circumstances should the value of small-batch production capabilities of our skilled manually working job shop personnel be underestimated. MASS PRODUCTION: For standardized products in large volumes such as valves, gears and spindles, our production machines are designed for hard automation (fixed-position automation). These are high value modern automation equipment called transfer machines that produce components very fast for pennies a piece in most cases. Our transfer lines for mass production are also equipped with automatic gaging and inspection systems that assure parts produced in one station is within specifications before being transferred to the next station in the automation line. Various machining operations including milling, drilling, turning, reaming, boring, honing…etc. can be performed in these automation lines. We also implement soft automation, which is a flexible and programmable automation method involving computer control of machines and their functions through software programs. We can easily reprogram our soft automation machines to manufacture a part that has a different shape or dimensions. These flexible automation capabilities give us high levels of efficiency and productivity. Microcomputers, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller), Numerical Control Machines (NC) and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) are widely deployed in our automation lines for mass production. In our CNC systems, an onboard control microcomputer is an integral part of the manufacturing equipment. Our machine operators program these CNC machines. In our automation lines for mass production and even in our small-batch production lines we take advantage of ADAPTIVE CONTROL, where operating parameters automatically adapt themselves to conform to new circumstances, including changes in the dynamics of the particular process and disturbances that may arise. As an example, in a turning operation on a lathe, our adaptive control system does sense in real time the cutting forces, torque, temperature, tool-wear, tool damage and surface finish of the workpiece. The system converts this information into commands that alter and modify process parameters on the machine tool so that the parameters are either held constant within min and max limits or optimized for the machining operation. We deploy AUTOMATION in MATERIAL HANDLING and MOVEMENT. Material handling consists of functions and systems associated with the transportation, storage and control of materials and parts in the total manufacturing cycle of products. Raw materials and parts may be moved from storage to machines, from one machine to another, from inspection to assembly or inventory, from inventory to shipment….etc. Automated material handling operations are repeatable and reliable. We implement automation in material handling and movement for both small-batch production as well as mass production operations. Automation does reduce costs, and is safer for operators, since it eliminates the need to carry materials by hand. Many types of equipment is deployed in our automated material handling and movement systems, such as conveyors, self-powered monorails, AGV (Automated Guided Vehicles), manipulators, integral transfer devices…etc. Movements of automated guided vehicles are planned on central computers to interface with our automated storage/retrieval systems. We use CODING SYSTEMS as part of automation in material handling to locate and identify parts and subassemblies throughout the manufacturing system and to correctly transfer them to appropriate locations. Our coding systems used in automation are mostly bar coding, magnetic strips and RF tags which offer us the advantage of being rewritable and working even if there is no clear line of sight. Vital components in our automation lines are INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS. These are reprogrammable multifunctional manipulators for moving materials, parts, tools, and devices by means of variable programmed motions. Besides moving objects they do also other operations in our automation lines, such as welding, soldering, arc cutting, drilling, deburring, grinding, spray painting, measuring and testing….etc. Depending on the automated production line, we deploy four, five, six and up to seven degrees-of-freedom robots. For high accuracy demanding operations, we deploy robots with closed loop control systems in our automation lines. Positioning repeatabilities of 0.05 mm are common in our robotic systems. Our articulated variable-sequence robots enable human-like complex movements in multiple operation sequences, any of which they can execute given the proper cue like a specific bar code or a specific signal from an inspection station in the automation line. For demanding automation applications, our intelligent sensory robots carry out functions similar to humans in complexity. These intelligent versions are equipped with visual and tactile (touching) capabilities. Similar to humans, they have perception and pattern recognition capabilities and can make decisions. Industrial robots are not limited to our automated mass production lines, whenever needed we deploy them, small-batch production processes inclusively. Without the use of proper SENSORS, robots alone would not be sufficient for the successful operation of our automation lines. Sensors are an integral part of our data acquisition, monitoring, communication and machine control systems. Sensors widely used in our automation lines and equipment are mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, ultrasonic, optical, fiber-optic, chemical, acoustic sensors. In some automation systems, smart sensors with capabilities to perform logic functions, two-way communication, decision-making and action-taking are deployed. On the other hand, some of our other automation systems or production lines deploy VISUAL SENSING (MACHINE VISION, COMPUTER VISION) involving cameras that optically sense objects, process the images, make measurements…etc. Examples where we use machine vision are real-time inspection in sheet metal inspection lines, verification of part placement and fixturing, monitoring of surface finish. Early in-line detection of defects in our automation lines prevents further processing of components and thus limits economic losses to a minimum. The success of automation lines at AGS-TECH Inc. relies heavily of FLEXIBLE FIXTURING. While some of the clamps, jigs and fixtures are being used in our job shop environment manually for small-batch production operations, other workholding devices such as power chucks, mandrels and collets are operated at various levels of mechanization and automation driven by mechanical, hydraulic and electrical means in mass production. In our automation lines and job shop, besides dedicated fixtures we do use intelligent fixturing systems with built-in flexibility that can accommodate a range of part shapes and dimensions without the need of making extensive changes and adjustments. Modular fixturing for example is widely used in our job shop for small-batch production operations to our advantage by eliminating the cost and time of making dedicated fixtures. Complex workpieces can be located into machines through fixtures produced quickly from standard components off our tool store shelves. Other fixtures we deploy throughout our job shops and automation lines are tombstone fixtures, bed-of-nails devices and adjustable-force clamping. We must emphasize that intelligent and flexible fixturing gives us the advantages of lower costs, shorter lead times, better quality in both small-batch production as well as automated mass production lines. An area of great importance for us is of course PRODUCT ASSEMBLY, DISASSEMBLY and SERVICE. We deploy both manual labor as well as automated assembly. Sometimes the total assembly operation is broken into individual assembly operations called SUBASSEMBLY. We offer manual, high-speed automatic and robotic assembly. Our manual assembly operations generally use simpler tools and are popular in some of our small-batch production lines. The dexterity of human hands and fingers offer us unique capabilities in some small-batch complex parts assemblies. Our high-speed automated assembly lines on the other hand use transfer mechanisms designed specially for assembly operations. In robotic assembly, one or multiple general-purpose robots operate at a single or multistation assembly system. In our automation lines for mass production, assembly systems are generally set up for certain product lines. We do however have also flexible assembly systems in automation which can be modified for increased flexibility in case a variety of models is needed. These assembly systems in automation do possess computer controls, interchangeable and programmable workheads, feeding devices and automated guiding devices. In our automation efforts we do always focus on: -Design for fixturing -Design for assembly -Design for disassembly -Design for service In automation the efficiency of disassembly and service are sometimes as important as the efficiency in assembly. The manner and ease with which a product may be taken apart for maintenance or replacement of its parts and serviced is a vital consideration in some product designs.

If your company is found appropriate and suitable for our needs, we will then send you RFQs (Request for Quote) and RFPs (Request for Proposal). Since we are a custom manufacturer and engineering integrator, of particular value to us are global manufacturers in areas where the most shortage of skill is present. If you are a supplier for the following, we encourage you to register your company to our database via the above link: -Custom manufacturer of low to medium volume plastic moulds (100 to 500 pieces per order). -Custom manufacturer of low to medium volume metal castings and CNC machined parts (100 to 500 pieces per order). -Engineering integrator and custom manufacturer that has the capability to be a supplier of both metal and polymer parts and that can accept parts assembly as part of a contract. -Small to intermediate volume custom manufacturer of electric cable assemblies and wire harness (100 to 500 pieces per order). -Engineering integrator with capability to integrate custom hardware with new software. -Supplier of test and metrology equipment that is new to us and not to be found in our brochures. -Engineering integrator and custom manufacturer who can complement or contribute to our product lines in unique ways. -Engineering integrator and custom manufacturer of micromanufactured and mesomanufactured products such as miniature custom sensors and actuators, miniature electronic and optoelectronic devices. -Supplier of smaller quantity custom coatings. As an engineering integrator and custom manufacturer we bring together parts, subassemblies and products from the best plants and assemble them together, package and label them according to requirements and ship to our customers. Integration is the process of bringing together the components into one system and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a system. To keep our spot as a distinguished engineering integrator and custom manufacturer, we have to keep working with the finest suppliers and assure that they do have valid and up-to-date quality related certifications obtained from well established certification bodies. An ISO9001, TS16949, QS9000, AS9001, ISO13485 are among the first requirements for any custom manufacturer of products and/or provider of engineering services to us. In addition to one of these certifications, any custom manufacturer or engineering services provider will need to present further evidence of being capable to contribute successfully to our engineering and integration efforts by showing examples of products for which a CE or UL mark was obtained, evidence of having successfully sold products meeting international standards such as IEEE, IEC, ASTM, DIN, MIL-SPEC…etc. to customers in the US, Canadian, Australian, EU and Japanese markets. If you are an engineering integrator and custom manufacturer, you are especially important for us because of your ability to integrate at least some of the components at your facility before shipping them to us. Being a globally recognized engineering integrator and custom manufacturer, logistics is a key element in our business. We must keep being able to ship fast, damage-free and economically. Therefore having presence in one of the logistically key locations is very important for every engineering integrator and custom manufacturer willing to collaborate and partner with us. Logistics is a complex issue we constantly work on and keep improving. As an example, sometimes the best option is to ship a product as individual components and parts from one or several plants to an assembly plant that is in the vicinity of our customer. This saves on shipping cost because the final product may be large and bulky and the final assembly plant being close to customer will keep shipping prices to a minimum and at the same time be a safer option where the most value is put into the product that is shipped only a short distance to its final destination.

AGS-TECH Difference: World's Most Diverse Global Engineering Integrator, Custom Manufacturer, Contract Manufacturing Partner, Consolidator, Subcontractor AGS-TECH Разлика: најразновидните сопствени производители во светот, консолидатор, инженерски интегратор и партнер за надворешни извори AGS-TECH Inc. is recognized globally as the World's Most Diverse Custom Manufacturer, Consolidator, Engineering Integrator and Outsourcing Partner. Our spectrum of custom manufacturing, engineering and integration capabilities is wider than any other company. When you contact us, you don’t have to worry about searching other suppliers for outsourcing your machined, molded, stamped, forged components, or suppliers who can assemble your electronic or optical products or else. When you contact AGS-TECH Inc., you have come to the right place to outsource all your custom manufactured components, subassemblies, assemblies and finished products. We can custom manufacture them from scratch all the way to a finished, packaged and labeled product. Neither do you have to worry about shipping and customs clearance, as we do it all for you, unless you prefer to do it yourself. Being the World's Most Diverse Custom Manufacturer, Consolidator, Engineering Integrator and Outsourcing Partner, AGS-TECH keeps working on many projects of different nature and projects of extraordinary complexity. Most outsourcing partners in the market have limited technological and logistical capability. They have an understanding of only a few areas of technology. A typical outsourcing partner may be capable of providing you custom castings and machined parts only, or they may be able to offer you custom casting, machining, forging and stamping. Other outsourcing partners may specialize in only custom manufactured electronics and offer you PCB, PCBA and cable assemblies. Working with such a typical custom manufacturer or outsourcing partner that supplies only PCBA and cable assembly, you would need to outsource the custom designed plastic housings of your products from a mold maker. This would inevitably make logistics more expensive and increase the risks in integration and consolidation. Components manufactured and supplied by a number of different sources have a high potential of mismatching and incompatibility. If any problem arises during the assembly of these custom manufactured components, each of the different manufacturers will be inclined to blame the other components manufacturers. You will be caught in the middle of a fire with no way out and finally your invested tooling and molding fees plus product payments would be lost and your project either delayed or cancelled due to economic losses and late delivery. You could even lose other repeat-orders that were previously well manufactured and shipped to your customers, because your overall quality rating with your customer’s QC Department will drop. On the other hand, when you work with AGS-TECH as a custom manufacturer, consolidator, engineering integrator and outsourcing partner, we take responsibility for the entire project. We make sure that all the custom designed interior electronics, optoelectronics, optics, mechanics of your product works in harmony and integrates well. Furthermore, we assure that the custom interior components fit well with the outer components and can sustain mechanical, thermal…etc. shocks and offer environmental reliability as a whole. As a manufacturing integrator and consolidator we can ship all the product parts unassembled, partially assembled or fully assembled. Besides compatibility, this offers a logistical advantage, because product components can be consolidated and shipped together as a single consignment. Being the World’s most diverse global custom manufacturer, consolidator, engineering , integrator and outsourcing partner with the widest spectrum of manufacturing capabilities, we are shareholders and partners of production facilities around the globe. To keep our top spot as a reliable outsourcing partner and custom manufacturer we constantly are on the outlook to buy manufacturing facilities globally or partner with them. Here is a link to download some basic Information on Global Custom Manufacturing, Integration, Consolidation and Outsourcing by AGS-TECH Inc. Even more important than being the most diverse global custom manufacturer and outsourcing partner is the outstanding quality of our team and their leadership skills. All our management team members have at least a B.S. or B.Eng. degree from globally recognized institutions and most have an. M.S., M.Eng or PhD degree in a technical field and MBA or ,instead of the MBA, many years of industrial experience with top technology companies. In other words, we are different that the standard typical entrepreneurs, business people or academicians with either limited technical or business background. We have the intellectual capacity to manage even the most sophisticated projects and guide the smartest clients. Working with us, you will definitely expand your knowledge and understanding of custom manufacturing and engineering integration processes. It would be completely correct to state AGS-TECH’s difference in words as: World's Most Diverse Custom Manufacturer, Consolidator, Engineering Integrator and Outsourcing Partner with some of the brightest and best people you can ever find. It is a privilege to work with us. Whether you choose to work with us or not, that is a decision you will make.
