FALCO strives continually to improve our aluminum casting process through benefits of lean manufacturing and new technology.

Our in-house quality testing methods and certifications include the
following:

  • Complete dimensional layout
  • Brinell hardness
  • Spectrographic chemical analysis of melts
  • Test-bar pulling
  • X-ray testing
  • In-house pressure testing
  • Spectrograph
  • Test bar puller
  • Ultra Sound
  • Brinell testing
  • Sand testing
  • Alu-Delta tester
  • Banding saws, grinders, etc.
  • Drop bottom furnaces
  • Age ovens
  • Straightening presses
  • Specific gravity for hydrogen content
  • Coordinate measuring machine
  • Vacuum testing
  • Shotblaster - tumble & hanger systems
  • Pressure test equipment
  • Impregnation


State of the Art Technology

NEW!  FALCO now has Solidcast and Flowcast simulation software!! This is a 3-D fill simulation and solidification simulation software. View our video clip!Our engineers have been specially trained to run this software to provide an accurate simulation of casting and gating quality related to metal and casting design.

What this means for you is higher quality sampling, higher quality during the life of the part, less scrap, make casting the most efficient way possible.

 

FALCO Processes Ensure Your Maximum Satisfaction

Pro-E Modeling Capability

Quality AssuranceOur installation of Pro/ENGINEER allows electronic downloading of drawings, 2D and 3D models from many different CAD programs. Pro/E offers many industry-standard and direct data exchange translators for sharing and re-using data.

Our design engineers use Pro/ENGINEER to create 3D casting models, which are then used by our tooling shops to manufacture the casting pattern or mold. We use state of the art technology to provide online collaborative product development workspaces where engineers can remotely share their designs.
