SIFCO ASC

When Birmingham-based die tooling systems manufacturer, Lasercomb Dies, experienced technical difficulties with a machine used in its manufacturing process, a critical production component became damaged, posing the threat of significant, costly, downtime. The company was faced with having to manufacture a replacement for the damaged component, which would have impacted its ability to meet crucial customer deadlines. The need for an immediate solution became apparent and, following a customer recommendation, Lasercomb contacted SIFCO ASC for help. Using its proprietary selective plating method, the SIFCO Process®, the damaged component was repaired in-situ. This meant that the original component was salvaged and returned to operation, resulting in significant downtime and cost savings.
