(Click on thumbnail to enlarge)
Red River Precision Mfg., Inc. recently had the opportunity to exhibit its expertise for manufacturing high quality components that tolerate the rigors of the semiconductor industry. This stainless steel cooling box presented us with three challenges - it needed to be manufactured to within precise ±.010” tolerances, had to be able to withstand 125 psi pressure, and 50 units had to be delivered within a 2-week timeframe.
Working with a customer-supplied print and 2D CAD drawing, our skilled machinists carefully planned out the shearing, saw cutting, forming, water jet cutting, and welding operations needed to fabricate this 8” x 4.5” cooling box from .074” thick 316 stainless steel. An electropolishing step was then required to increase corrosion resistance and improve the surface finish. After pressure testing and dimensional inspection to verify that the cooling box was up to the standards the customer required, each piece was individually bubble-wrapped for shipment and delivered on schedule.
