OEMs and other manufacturers frequently require special machines for production and assembly purposes. About half of Coldwater (Ohio) Machine Co.’s business involves building those machines, but few off-the-shelf components are available. Therefore, CMC machines the components in-house at its 132,500-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility, and many of the parts are large...Read More
Vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW) uses the pressure from an electrically driven explosion to impact-weld dissimilar metals at high speed. It does this by changing a thin metal foil from a solid to a gas and using the pressure to push one base metal—over a short, controlled distance—toward another base metal. This all happens within...Read More
