Manufacturer of the Year
Park Industries® is proud to build American machinery and proud to be named the 2020 ‘Manufacturer of the Year’!
Browse through the different stages in our manufacturing facility of building a machine to Park’s standards .
1. Raw Material
American Made machinery starts with American Steel. Park Industries® uses only the highest quality of iron and steel locally sourced from US vendors. The highest grade of materials are a big start to our machines’ ‘built to last’ unmatched durability. Approx 50,000 lbs. of steel is used per week. The steel that is not used is recycled. Nothing is wasted.
2. Plasma Cutting
The latest plasma cutting technology is used to cut metal parts and components for machines. The Kinetic is our larger cutting system. The Kinetic is a combination plasma machine that can drill and tap parts and profile steel before it reaches the welders. With a 40’ table, we can fit two 8’ x 20’ sheets on the machine to plasma cut at once.
3. Welding
Machine frames and bridges are welded to the highest standards by Park’s highly skilled and certified welding team. Though welding certifications are not required for our machines, Park Industries believes strongly in this practice to build our machines with the most precise parts resulting in top quality machine integrity and rigidity.
Sizes of the weldments range anywhere from a size of a cell phone to parts the size of semi-trucks. After welding and before going to the mills, parts are stress relieved with a Meta-Lax vibratory stress relieving.
4. SandBLast
Each piece of machinery is sandblasted to promote paint adhesion and enhance appearance. Large parts go into one of our two large industrial sandblast booths, while parts less than a 6 ft diameter go into a one of our two blasters designed for small parts.
5. Milling
With multiple large mills and 11 total milling machines, Park bolsters tons of milling production capabilities. Included in our arsenal of milling equipment is the largest milling machine in the midwest. Our mills can machine five sides of the entire machine frames in a single setup with no indexing or moving the frame. This results in optimal accuracy and the ability to utilize monoblock designs in our products.
6. CNC Metal Lathes
These rigid machine tools shape and remove material from components as they are rotating. Park utilizes 5 of these extremely accurate and fast lathes in our process. Tolerance for parts are normally 0.005” (five one-thousandths of an inch), with some being tighter than 0.0005” (five ten-thousandths of an inch). This is 6 times thinner than a human hair!
7. Paint
A state-of-the-art paint line washes, dries, primes, topcoats and cures each part. Included in this process is electrostatic paint, which reduces wasted paint and ensure no spot is missed. Wash bays and large industrial paint booths are used as well.
8. ELectrical Panel Shop
Layout, assembly, and wiring of back panels and junction boxes are done in the panel shop. All Park Industries machines are ETL approved. Our wiring practices meet ETL standards and are inspected quarterly. All components of our machines are UL 508A certified.
9. Assembly
Machines are assembled from start to finish with multiple quality checks throughout the process. All equipment is built to order – we don’t build to stock. A Faro laser interferometer is used to verify tolerances or precisely align components of the machines. The tolerances +/- .002 throughout the length of machine bases.
10. Load & Ship
With excellent communication, organization, and a refined process, our manufacturing team meets ship dates with a 99% on-time ship rate. An integrated crane system hovers throughout the facilities with 25 ton lifting capabilities for easy loading, especially machines with monoblock designs.
DESIGNED FOR YOUR SUCCESS
We design our machines with one purpose in mind: to provide solutions that transform “pains” into profits.
Customer Driven
Fabricators have extremely valuable input and feedback, we do not just listen to it – we welcome it. Our machines are designed to improve your shop and increase your profitability. We are constantly monitoring and scanning for ways to improve, and our customers are one of our best resources.
EXPERIENCED Engineering
Great machines start with rock solid engineering. We understand the importance of designing machines that not only work, but perform. Our team of over 30 in house engineers have resulted in innovative fabrication solutions.
INNOVATIVE R & D
In our dedicated research and development center, our engineers come together with product managers and put in the necessary hours of experimenting new ideas and testing new products vigorously. Through this, we create equipment that will move fabricators processes forward.
NORTH ANNEX EXPANSION
20% capacity and 42,2460 sq feet were added along state-of-the-art technology and processes in a recent manufacturing expansion. Take a behind-the-scenes look at our North Annex Expansion.
In terms of durability and quality, I think our machines speak for themselves. Our first saw was 18 years old when we sold it and ran it perfect still. We still have two DESTINY XE’s that are running strong at 14 years old. These things last forever.
