KLH Industries has received Nadcap accreditation for
Nonconventional Machining, including wire EDM and fast hole EDM. This achievement
further solidifies KLH’s commitment to delivering the highest standards of
aerospace machining.
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.
Boeing has approved KLH Industries as a
machining supplier for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) program. The SLS is a
flagship rocket system that will set new standards for commercial and deep
space exploration.
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.
Superalloys are the man-made mixtures of elements that
allow modern society to travel faster and reach further. Firing up a jet engine without superalloys would be
like putting Tupperware in the oven.
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?”
KLH Industries has been nominated as a 2011 Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year (MOTY). This is KLH's third consecutive nomination in the small business category.
In the upcoming week, KLH will begin training for a Nadcap certification in non-conventional machining. Receiving Nadcap certification will allow KLH to provide EDM machining services on life or flight critical components.
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.
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.
