RPM maintains
well equipped facilities to allow for in-house fabrication and assembly of
nearly every component that goes into our product. Each manufacturing department is
independently housed in its own air-conditioned facility. This allows RPM to maintain control over our
entire workflow, and to react quickly to any required changes in production schedule
in order to meet all of our customer's requirements.
All of RPM's manufacturing
departments employ skilled direct labor.
The majority of our manufacturing personnel have been employed by RPM
for longer than three years, and many for as long as fifteen years or
more. These employees are all highly
trained and fully versed in our product.
Our Machine Shop
boasts six Haas CNC Vertical Machining Centers, two Mazak CNC Turning Centers, one Hass
4th Axis Rotary Table, and a multitude of hand-operated machines. This equipment allows RPM to manufacture 95%
of the custom fabricated components that are used in our systems, including all
high precision parts. For specialized
operations such as heat treating, welding, gear-cutting, plating, and painting,
RPM has developed a network of company approved vendors that we can use to meet
the fabrication needs of every design.
Located directly
adjacent to the machine shop, RPM's Quality Assurance Department performs
detailed inspections on all manufactured and purchased items as required. This location enables Quality Assurance
personnel to provide the Machine Shop with immediate feedback on any first
article item they produce, to ensure dimensional accuracy on all items. Among other tools, this department is
equipped with one 7-Axis FARO© Platinum arm, one 6-Axis FARO© arm and one FARO© gauge, which enables the user to simultaneously
inspect all features of a part, in three dimensions.
RPM also
maintains designated, enclosed areas for both our Mechanical and Electrical Assembly
departments. These areas provide our assembly technicians with all of the tools
and space required to build every RPM product. Currently RPM Electrical assemblers and QA department are qualified in the IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620 and J-STD-001 standards. In addition, RPM as a company has completed ESD training with Electrical, Test and QA receiving IPC and ESDA certification as "ESD Safe Electrical Assemblers.
Common
components used in our manufacturing operations are maintained in a two story
stock room and other storage areas.
