On display will be a variety of precision metal stampings, deep drawn components, and laser welded assemblies that cover the many industries Caran currently supplies. Our sales engineers at our booth are diligent to listen to your requirements, review your drawings, and explain how to best suit your needs to our processes.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">About Caran Precision:</span><br /><br />For over 40 years Caran Precision Engineering and Manufacturing (www.caranprecision.net) has been a leader in the support and manufacture of components for the aerospace, ordnance, ballistic and explosive industries. It has excelled in tight tolerance production, thin wall and concentricity control. Our precursor was one of the founders of Sierra Bullets, later Spiveco, Inc and currently Berger Bullets. Additionally, we were involved in a number of other ballistic, ordnance and pyrotechnic activities. Caran Precision continues this progression of specialized production by supplying percussion cups, booster caps, and igniter tubes, primer and detonator shells.<br /><br />Caran designs and manufactures all required tooling in house. Out quality control system is the highest in the industry. If you have requirements for stamped or drawn metal parts used in the explosives industries, we probably have already made it, have made something like it or can certainly develop a part to your requirements no matter how tight the tolerance. The controlled explosives industries that we serve include but are not limited to: Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Mining, Fire Retardant, Canopy Ejection, & Missiles.Michael Lecrenskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01810661217727549884noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862696389414345724.post-63143706068361265992009-10-16T11:59:00.000-07:002009-10-16T12:02:15.008-07:00Visit Caran at the 2009 Fuel Cell Seminar!Caran Precision will be exhibiting at booth #606 at the Fuel Cell Seminar in Palm Springs, CA on November 17 – 19, 2009. On display will be a variety of precision metal stampings, deep drawn components, and laser welded assemblies that cover the many industries to which Caran currently supplies. <br /><br />Metal stamping, when applied to fuel cell applications, provides substantial cost advantages to ceramics and other conventional materials. In addition, metal is less fragile to work with than graphite or ceramics and is much more conducive to major production scale up. <br /><br />Our sales engineers at our booth are diligent to listen to your requirements, review your drawings, and explain how to best suit your needs to our processes. We have stamping presses that range from 5 to 1,000 tons with laser welding and in-house heat treating available. Our secondary processes also include but are not limited to machining, coining, deburring, cleaning, treating, testing, engineering and numerous others. We have an area dedicated to tool and die building with. We have experience with common and exotic metals like stainless steel, aluminum, copper, inconel, zirconium, brass as well as many other metals.Michael Lecrenskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01810661217727549884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862696389414345724.post-67736066293464869712009-08-12T11:18:00.000-07:002009-08-12T11:19:05.059-07:00About Caran Precision<span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:130%;"><b><span style="font-size:180%;color:#143f91;">About Caran Precision</span></b></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:85%;">For over 40 years Caran Precision Engineering and Manufacturing has broken the mold of what a stamping facility could be and what it can do.
