Four companies have begun piloting a new
apprenticeship model in Wisconsin. NIMS is a competency- based model that
assesses students on specific skill sets. Unlike the current apprenticeship
model, there is no time requirement.
KLH will celebrate 25 years of precision machining by hosting a live broadcast of WKLH’s morning show “Dave & Carole.” The program will coincide with a morning job fair, followed by an afternoon open house.
KLH Industries has always operated with a simple motto, “Sell what people want to buy.” The message is clear; people want CNC turning. With the voice of the customer in mind, KLH has purchased three new turning centers.
After a year in the making, the new KLH Industries.com was shaped with the voice of the customer. We e-mailed, we called, we asked, “How can a precision machining website help you?”
In a flurry of new machines on the shop floor, one wire EDM machine has proven that age has its advantages. This Mitsubishi machine is proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks, but not without new ideas.
As industrial demand for minerals increases,
armed groups jockey for control of valuable mines and transportation routes.
When responsible for material procurement, KLH will avoid purchasing these
“conflict minerals.”
Most modern EDM drilling machines are CNC-controlled, few, however, are actually mounted on a CNC mill. By retrofitting an EDM driller onto a CNC mill, KLH offers small hole drilling in excess of 1800 lbs & 40 inches long.
The term "prototype die" is almost an oxymoron. Usually, it isn't quite cost-effective to CNC mill a 400 lb block of tool steel to produce less parts than most people have fingers.
The Next Generation Manufacturing (NGM) initiative works with industry experts to build “a detailed vision of the future of manufacturing.” Wisconsin manufacturing is changing, and KLH is proud to be a part of it.
Capable of wire EDM cutting extreme heights and weights, KLH Industries, remains on the cutting edge of EDM machining technology for over two decades and can handle parts up to 5 tons and over 2 feet tall.
