QTA Machining

We would like to give a shoutout to one of our biggest sponsors, QTA Machining. They have graciously donated steel for the machining of the gears for our new drive train this year.

QTA Machining is a precision machine shop, headquartered in Buffalo, NY. They offer a wide array of CNC machining services along with precision gear and spline cutting. Thank you again!

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is the manufacturing process whereby a desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges. Our recently acquired Sodick VZ500LH wire-EDM uses electrically charged brass wire to precisely cut shapes of all kinds.

Submerged in water, the CNC controlled machine cuts an internal spline in this 9.63” long sleeve, maintaining a 0.00015” tolerance, which is half the size of an average human hair.

The EDM provides a much more cost effective solution with lower volume runs in comparison to traditional gear shaping.
