Bridge Thermal Sprayed 21 Years Ago in Ohio, USA
Over 21 years ago, ASB Industries thermal sprayed one of many bridges in Ohio, USA. Along with other advanced materials during the re-decking project, thermal spray Zinc/Aluminum was applied to structural metal using strict processing procedures in hot and humid summer weather. A long retired champion from Ohio Department of Transportation challenged usual protocol to improve overall rebuilding efforts and understood the long term vision of value. The bridge is located at the 155 mile marker on Interstate 71 which is a heavily traveled north/south road between Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio. More.CNC Vertical Boring Mill Commisioning
Two 110" CNC Vertical Boring Mills are in assembly stages at ASB Industries under the direct supervision of STANKO equipment technicians. These highly skilled craftsmen will take approximately 5 weeks to install the equipment.These duel head machines with Fagor CNC controls will give extreme flexibility to ASB's machining capabilities.
