Dexter, Michigan-based Q.E.D. Environmental Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of environmental pumping systems, landfill products, landfill gas products and air strippers, announces that the company now has new in-house machining capabilities. Q.E.D. will machine parts for approximately 90 percent of its finished goods. By machining in-house, Q.E.D. is able to monitor every step of the manufacturing process from incoming material to the final product, leading to more efficient manufacturing and better quality products, the company says.
Q.E.D. will use a Citizen Cincom L32 Swiss CNC lathe, a Behringer automatic band saw and a Mazak Multiplex 6300YR turning center to machine parts and components, and the company is now also manufacturing all applicable parts out of 316 stainless steel, upgrading from 304 stainless steel to improve resistance to corrosion and chemical attack. Products impacted by this change range from AutoPumps and wellheads to groundwater and soil sampling solutions.
