With over
fifty years experience and three generations of manufacturing, Picut
Manufacturing Company relies on state-of-the-art technology and
equipment to satisfy the demanding needs of its customers.
A total
commitment to, and continual reinvestment in, plant and equipment will
launch PMC into the new millennium with nearly 100 employees and a 50,000
square foot environmentally-controlled production facility.
Customer
satisfaction is our number one priority, and we not stop until PMC
customers receive on-time delivery of a product that reflects our rigid
standards of perfection.
If you
require the resources of a manufacturing facility with a diverse spectrum
of precision Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) equipment
and in-depth experience with complex multi-unit assemblies, you will
find all this and more at Picut Manufacturing Company.
PMC's progressive
engineering and CNC programming staff use computer aided design and
manufacturing software (AutoCad, Mastercam) on an integrated system
of workstations to analyze and meet today's complex production challenges
both quickly and efficiently. Through this computer network all facets
of the company from scheduling to customer service can work compatibly
together to produce a quality product and deliver it on-time to our
customers.
PMC has
always felt that when it comes to manufacturing, quality must be built
into the organization. Our quality control department staffed by highly
trained in-process and final inspectors, enables us to produce precision
machined parts and assemblies to the highest standards. With the implementation
of statistical process control (SPC), we are able to quickly
locate and eliminate any manufacturing deficiencies before they become
detrimental problems.
With a
full programmable coordinate measuring machine (CMM), accurate
to within one hundred-millionth of an inch, PMC can dimensionally inspect
extremely complex parts easily and efficiently by simply loading a part
onto the machine and pressing a button. With this level of sophistication,
we are confident in meeting any quality challenge presented to us.
JIT
(Just in Time) manufacturing is not just a goal at PMC -
it has become a reality by employing a group of horizontal palletized
machining centers which all but eliminate the continual refixturing
of various parts. In fact, a total of eight different parts can be set-up
on each of the eight pallets and run simultaneously on one machine.
Raw material is received on a JIT basis, the parts are machined on a
JIT basis and shipped accordingly to the customer, thereby minimizing
inventory expenses and reducing costs. Cost reduction is not the only
benefit from this type of system. By reducing the number of set-ups
an operator must make - which minimizes opportunity for errors - quality
is improved as well.
Maintaining
such technically complex equipment requires tremendous engineering talents,
in-depth tool design capabilities and experienced fixture design groups.
Add SPC inspection and JIT manufacturing to the formula, and you have
the winning combination that has established PMC as a highly diversified
precision manufacturing group still sensitive to the needs of its customers.
In adopting
a zero defect approach to manufacturing, PMC surpasses the expectations
of even its most critical customers. From precision milling on VMC's
(Vertical Machining Centers) to machining parts thirty inches in diameter
to internal broaching of complex shapes, Picut runs the gamut of versatility.
On our super precision bar feed turning centers, which eliminate the
hand loading of parts by the operator, we can maintain fifty millionths
of an inch accuracy and still do it rapidly. Commensurate with such
tight tolerancing specifications, PMC uses the most advanced electromechanical
internal and external gaging systems available to measure these dimensions.
