22 Mar 2002

   

With the company's 22 years of experience making parts for all types of industries, Halsey Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. can also handle unique prototype and R&D parts.

     

Every metal or plastic part has its own characteristics and requires specific types of machines and tools to manufacture it. Halsey Engineering has machined parts for aerospace, chemical processing, electronics, aircraft, medical, microwave, antenna, transportation, and OEM parts for many more industries. "We have made parts for hydraulics, material handling, gage sub assemblies, race cars, oil field and medical apparatus, to name just a few more," said Donald Halsey Jr., C.E.O. of the company.

     

The materials used to make the parts may be aluminum, stainless steel, brass, plastic or copper materials from plate, bars, rods, castings or extrusions.

     

The machines that make the parts at Halsey Engineering are CNC machining centers and CNC turning centers plus a variety of toolroom equipment including a saw, milling machines, lathes, grinders, sanders, deburring machines and presses. One CNC turning center has the capacity to turn a bar 2.75" in diameter and 24" in length. The chuck diameter is 10". Another turning center has an 8" diameter chuck with a 2" diameter bar capacity at 15" length. The company's vertical machining centers (VMCs) have capacities of up to 50" X-axis, 20" Y-axis and 25" Z-axis. Utilizing a rotary table with 360,000 possible positions makes the VMCs capable of machining complex parts.

     

Halsey Engineering employs inspection tools traceable to NIST to verify parts delivered to customer's requirements. The measuring instruments to perform these functions include height measuring, Jo Blocks, Intrimiks, and other gages. "We have been surveyed by manufacturers who have granted accreditation to our quality control procedures in accordance with MIL-1-45662 and MIL-1-45208A," explained Mr. Halsey.

     

Customers can e-mail part programs or CAD files to Halsey Engineering. A state-of-the-art computer aided manufacturing (CAM) system with up to 4-axis capabilities will turn a CAD file into a part program ready to be downloaded to a machine.

     

The ten or more employees at the company work together to meet their customer's requirements for quality parts. "We are uniquely positioned at the top of the "Golden Triangle" in Denton, Texas, offering engineering and CNC machining capabilities," said Donald Halsey. "We can help with reverse engineering and prototyping as well as machining parts." Halsey Engineering has had the opportunity to be part of start-up manufacturing with companies such as Peterbilt, the Super Conducting Super Collider and new concept devices for a fuel cell.
