Custom Fabrication
Lortz has built a strong reputation for producing small and large precision fabricated components and assemblies to stringent quality requirements. Whether the application is for aerospace tooling, structural or geotechnical drilling components, or offshore drilling, Lortz does it all. |
The Lortz Engineering Team is 21 Associates strong, 3 MSME, 6 BSME, 5 experienced Project Managers, and 8 SolidWorks Detailers.
Most Custom Fabrication orders are based on customer engineering and drawings. Lortz details the customer engineered product using SolidWorks and resulting the 3D drawings which used for fabrication. Detailed shop and inspection planning is created to assure proper sequencing of the fabricationprocess. The Lortz Engineering Team is experienced in “reverse engineering” and many customers provide Lortz with previously fabricated components to reverse engineer.
Each Custom Fabrication order is assigned to a Lortz Project Manager that is involved from day one.The Project Manager is responsible for the entire order scope from receipt through shipment. MS Project Schedules are created and managed for each project.
Engineering software used by Lortz includes:
- Codeware Compress and Coster
- Coade Code Calc ASME Appendix 26 Metal Expansion Joint Analysis
- Coade Caesar II Piping Analysis
- Cosmos Finite Element Analysis
- SolidWorks Design & Modeling
- FLEXXCHECK Bellows Design Analysis
Solidworks Advantages
- Collaboration with customers through the use of eDrawings and other integrated design communication tools to facilitate swift development of optimum end use application design solutions.
- Import and export of more than 25 2D and 3D file formats directly to and from SolidWorks for almost unlimited customer interaction of designs.
- Photorealistic renderings and animations for improved understanding of the final manufactured part.
- Drawing interference detection during design to prevent drawing errors prior to manufacture.
- Substantial reduction in rework and scrap during manufacturing operations.
- Optimal use of raw materials through automatic “nesting” interface.
Quality Assurance and Operational Excellence are important foundations of Lortz’ 60 years of success in business.
