Prototek Sheetmetal Fabrication, LLC is a RoHS Compliant company




RoHS, or to use its accurate but somewhat lengthy title "Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment", will be enforced throughout the European Community from 1st July 2006.
Its aim is simple to remove a total of six substances from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), thereby contributing to the protection of human health and the environment.

Although RoHS is a European Union (EU) Directive, manufacturers of EEE outside Europe must also abide by this legislation if the equipment they produce is ultimately imported into a EU member state.

RoHS Compliance Statement

Prototek Sheetmetal Fabrication, in an effort to support our customers and supplier base, has committed to RoHS compliance. Pursuant to this effort, we will help our manufacturers as well as our customers manage RoHS introduction. Included in this management process is as follows.

1. Supplier Policies: Inform our customers of our manufacturer's RoHS policies as these policies continue to evolve.
2. Part Specific Information: Inform customers of specific part number detail on compliance as this information becomes available from our suppliers.
3. Inventory Management: Provide assistance in managing the transition of non-compliant inventory to compliant inventory (specifically product pipeline management).
4. Market Demands: Keep our suppliers posted with market and specific customer needs, which will allow them to be more responsive.
5. Education: Working closely with our supplier partners, Prototek Sheetmetal Fabrication will, to the best of our ability, provide our valued customers and employees with the most up to date RoHS related information available

Prototek added Amada LC-C1 laser/punch combo manufacturing cell to their sheet metal prototype business!

With the crashing economy, Prototek inevitably picked up many new customers from other sheet metal production shops. It reached the point where their Pulsar laser and Vipros Queen turret were running 90% of the day, every day! This being a great side effect of a poor economy, the new problem was simply not being able to handle the workload.

Upon researching a new sheetmetal manufacturing cell, Prototek found the Amada LC-C1. It is the first of its kind to be seen in the US, and was the perfect tool Prototek was looking for. With its revolutionary laser and turret built into one machine and the capability of tapping holes, counter sinking, and bending, and having a built in vacuum to the turret, now they can punch holes 50% smaller than before, with less energy consumption and at a faster pace. This machine cleaned out the bottle necked secondaries department that was always crowded with too much work.

"Prototek was operating three shifts for punching and laser cutting, which were running at 90% capacity. It was three months ago now we installed the LC-C1, and it has made a tremendous difference in our turn times. We had six employees working in our secondaries department countersinking and tapping, but now four of those employees have moved on to more specialized fields. Since incorporating the LC-C1, Prototek's sales have increased by another 15%. Additionally, we are now running only 2 shifts in the laser, punch, and laser/punch combo departments at 80% capacity! This machine, among a few other catalysts, have allowed us to bring aboard another 25 employees. The LC-C1 is the perfect prototype manufacturing cell for Prototek," stated Bruce Isabelle, CEO of Prototek.

With such an increase in work, the sheet metal shop would probably have had a hard time getting out all the precision machined parts along with stereolithography and custom sheet metal fabrication, but fortunately they do all painting, plating, powder coating, and silk screening in-house! "Being able to process parts in-house is one of the most fundamental reasons that it's possible for us to manufacture metal and SLA parts in a matter of days. Also, quality is always a huge concern of ours, and keeping our parts under our roof will ensure our customers only get Prototek quality." Prototek is the largest rapid prototype manufacturer in the country that produces fast precision machining and stereolithography.
