Fox Valley Metal Tech is among the few precision metal fabrication companies entrusted to craft and deliver hundreds of large complex fabrications for the Gerald R. Ford-Class Nuclear Aircraft Carrier naval defense system.
The company had to overcome several challenges to achieve the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) requirements for electrical enclosure fabrication, including:
- Meeting strict deadlines
- Achieving tolerances within 0.010-inch
- Working with O-temper annealed aluminum
- Engineering custom jigs and fixtures
- Developing manufacturing drawings
- Designing shipping materials to prevent movement during transport
- And more
In the end, Fox Valley Metal Tech helped reduce the DoD’s planned installation time by an impressive 75%, leading to additional projects being awarded.
