Tapered Journal Repair on Large Roll

The bearing journal on this large roll used for Paper Making was mis-machined undersized. The journal was thermal sprayed with Carbon Steel using the Wire Combustion Process. Our machinist used a Sine Bar Gauge during finish machining to meet the tapered bearing specification.  ASB's customer requested expedited processing for a planned outage.

ISO 9001:2000 Certification

ASB Industries has been ISO Certified 9001:2000 receiving notification on January 13, 2009. Approval Certificate number is on file and available for our ASB customers. Award qualification was received on the first review by Smithers Quality Assessments, Inc.
The qualification statement on the certificate states: "Remanufacturing and or enhancing component performance through thermal spray surfacing, grinding, polishing and other essential processes”. ASB’s quality driven thermal spray facility required a limited amount of additional reporting requirements to gain approval.

Facility Improvements:

• ASB has added additional crane capacity and large cylindrical roll turning in the HVOF Unicoat Spray area along with the existing robot.
• ASB recently added new florescent lighting in many production bays resulting in even greater and balanced lighting. This change was noted by many machinists and sprayers as positive improvements along with ASB receiving energy related tax incentives.
• New landscaping was added to ASB property adjacent to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The walking trail adjacent to the waterway is part of this historic park system dating back to the early 1800’s with a sophisticated lock system for water travel bringing industry to Northern Ohio.
