Manufacturing Departments
QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT
Quality Control Department at Racks Unlimited. Every operation at RUI is continuously monitored. Micrometers, Vernier Calipers and Coordinate measuring machines are used constantly to insure accuracy within permitted tolerances.The extensive quality controls (Mil-I-45215A) and SPC assure consistency and the high quality that RUI guarantees it customers.
SHEARING DEPARTMENT
Our Shearing Department consists of several shears enabling RUI to cut all the appropriate part sizes needed to meet all our delivery schedules.
LASER CUTTING DEPARTMENT
RUI was one of the first in our industry to use laser cutting technology here in South Florida. That makes RUI one of the most experienced Laser cutting companies in South Florida!Racks Unlimited has added the newest Amada Laser cutter to our Manufacturing capabilitiesOur newest Laser cutter produced by Amada offers these State-of-the-art capabilities.
High Speed 2000 Watt Hybrid Machine Design offers quick Turnaround Prototyping and Production Capability.
60” W 90” L Process Area with Reposition to 196” L. Clean–Cut Technology for Stainless Steel.
Mark-Free Material Processing with Urethane Support Rollers and Non-Contact Cutting Head. Full Updated CAD/CAM Programming System. This new Laser cutter can cut a wide Range of Materials, such as: Stainless Steel, Galvanized Aluminum, Hot & Cold Rolled Steel, Pickled & Oiled, Moly, Titanium, Inconel, Monel, from Shim Stock to ½” Plate, Plastic, Wood, etc.
Normally, there are many different tools used in a turret, which is not needed in laser processing.
Today's laser cutting technologies allows us to cut almost any type of material from very hard aircraft alloy to a variety of plastics and non metal materials without leaving any step marks or burrs.
TUMBLING DEPARTMENT
In order to maximize our deburring area, RUI has installed several tumblers ranging from 5 cubic feet to 25 cubic feet. Our vibratory tumblers are one of the most efficient forms of deburring processes used today.There are many different media used in our tumblers to maximize the finishes and type of area that need to be deburred, like edges, holes and deep cutouts. By using different types of media, you can achieve high quality looking parts, burr free.
All of this is done at a very low cost due to the volume of parts that fit in a 25 cubic foot area.
FORMING DEPARTMENT
RUI has a full array of forming machines.We are always looking to be on the leading edge of technology in today's highly competitive market.
That's why RUI chose to use Amada fabrication equipment.
GRINDING DEPARTMENT
Grinding is one of the processes that today is still a manual process, and can be very time consuming.RUI uses skilled personnel to insure that all welds are ground and polished to insure an exceptionally good looking finished product.
CNC TURRET DEPARTMENT "PEGA"
Amada is one of the most prestigious names in quality fabricating equipment.Our sophisticated Amada CNC Turret presses are state-of-the art machines... completely automated and fully computerized with "DNC" direct numerical control from engineering to our CNC turret presses, eliminating the need for paper tapes.
Prototypes and production runs are produced quickly and inexpensively at speeds of 220 to 900 hits per minute on one inch centers. Special added features are our four 4.50" auto index stations that are capable of punching 360 degree and up to 900 hits per minute bi-directional.
Another added feature is our newest acquisition the Vipros 358 King, which is a fully automatic hydraulic turret press which is unparalleled in controlling marks. It's ram control is excellent in allowing forming capability, which enables RUI to produce a completed part without secondary operations.
This allows your designer to create any shape or angle desired at a very low cost. Our turret presses hold up to 86 different tools from .032 to 4.500 diameter and are capable of punching up to .250 thick material and blank sizes of up to 50" x 144".
STAMPIING DEPARTMENT
RUI offers a variety of processes to insure low cost of manufacturing with volume production.Our Stamping Department involves stamping presses from 15 tons to 100 tons. All tools are manufactured in-house and are maintained by our on site tool & die makers
GRAINING DEPARTMENT
Our Graining Department consists of several different size machines, ranging from 8 1/2 to 37 inches of graining capacity.All of our blanks that are punched off our CNC turret presses and our stamping presses are all processed through our array of graining machines.
All parts are grained to eliminate all scratches and burrs that are protruding to insure the highest quality presentation of cosmetic parts.
GRAIN & DEBURRING DEPARTMENT
All of our custom sheet metal parts are guaranteed to be burr free. Our state-of-the-art grain deburring machine allows us to deburr all edges and holes.Grain and Debur Department at Racks Unlimited. This new technology was designed for the aircraft industry which consists of a conveyer and a disc made of emery cloth approximately 40 inches diameter that spins at a very high speed while the parts are being fed through by means of a conveyer belt.
This eliminates the need of any hand deburring, which in turn reduces part costs.
DRILLING & TAPPING DEPARTMENT
A full array of drilling machines are available from single drill presses, to multi-head drilling machines, to our Burgmaster turret drill press with six head rotary index.The Burgmaster turret drill press can have multiple heads with either drills or taps installed in one setup. This allows you to handle parts just once while performing many different taps before replacing your part.
An advance tapping machine table has been installed to allow a large area of tapping of a variety of different taps from 2-56 to 1/2 taps, all in one setup.
MILLING DEPARTMENT
With a full line of milling machines from Manuel Bridgeports to Mazak's CNC machining center equipped with automatic pallet changers.
Our CNC-machining centers are capable of unsurpassed quality and accuracy to insure the most accurate parts that can be produced.
All of our CNC milling machines are fully loaded with a complete turret of tools and fully computerized to our engineering department.
This direct network link with our engineering department via direct numerical control "DNC" is what allows RUI to guarantee the utmost accuracy in transferring information.
WELDING & SPOT WELDING DEPARTMENT
RUI's Welding Department consists of both manual and robotic welding machines.
All of our welders are highly trained and skilled. With their many years of experience we are able to weld any material.
Our welder normally welds with mig or tig. Our Fanuc robotic welders are equipped with two pallets that rotate 360 degrees each, and can hold parts sizes of up to 36 x 36 x 96 on any of our four loading stations, which dramatically increases our through put.
One of the Fanuc robotic welders great features is its ability to weld at speeds of up to 100 inches per minute automatically without any part handling.While one of our four machines is welding we are able to load and unload parts from our other stations which insures constant welding.
Just another efficiency that RUI offers it's customers!
