Chicago Rivet & Machine Co. Announces Operation Efficiencies
Naperville, IL
Chicago Rivet & Machine Co. announces numerous header and secondary operation efficiencies within the realm of their cold formed fastener product line at their Tyrone, Pennsylvania facility.
The following are additional enhancements within our production line and plant operations:
o Chicago Rivet has invested more than $1 million in capital equipment within the last several years, giving us the flexibility to produce "custom" and hard to manufacture parts that other sources might not have the resources or technical expertise to produce. Our heading equipment gives us the ability to incorporate multiple diameters onto parts and apply secondary features such as shaving, drilling, tapping, knurling, thread-rolling, heat treating and a wide category of finishes in house. The benefit to the customer is that lead times and piece pricing for the finished good are less than having to consider additional outside alternatives to complete when reviewing more complex part designs.
o We have invested more than $250,000 on quality related equipment within the past 18 months to ensure that the parts we produce conform to customer specifications. These improvements include production monitors, conveyors, and laser & vision inspection equipment. Our new optical sorter reduces final inspection times and ensures an accurate part being shipped to customer requirements as efficiently as possible.
o Chicago Rivet has invested over $300,000 in secondary machining equipment as well as added a new furnace for a wide range of heat treat requirements we may encounter. The two furnaces give us flexibility and help alleviate potential backlogs with the wide array of customer part requirements.
o We recently updated labels and bar code compliancy that benefits our customers in terms of their shipment tracking.
