Services Offered
Crack Repair & Reinforcement
Metalock® and metalace stitching processes
restore both compressive and tensile strength to cracked and broken
parts. The installation of these components will also seal and
hold pressure. Masterlocks are used for a greater concentration of lock
strength, a wide distribution of working stress and for the elimination
of localized stress. New techniques have been developed that allow us
to restore at least the original design strength to an affected area,
regardless of the parent material. The complexity of the
metalock©
systems require great attention and for this reason, only technicians
with specialized training in the use of these systems are entrusted with
our repairs.
Engineering
Services / Project Management
ECRS
engineers possess over 60 years of combined experience. In projects
where a repair is not feasible, we can quickly re-design the old
component and work with our shops or custom foundries to manufacture a
new casting. Our engineers will then get the new part machined and
returned to service faster than would have been possible through the
OEM. We strive to save you money by demanding as little amount of
downtime as possible. Our engineers are also available for design
auditing and accident investigations.
Analysis
ECRS is on the
cutting edge of finite element analysis. FEA enables us to extensively
analyze an area of concern. We can perform static and dynamic stress
analysis, elastic and plastic deformation analysis, heat transfer and
temperature analysis, fatigue analysis, vibration monitoring, estimating
life, and much more. We are experienced in linear and non-linear
loading as well as mechanical event simulation (MES). Through the
mastering of this software, ECRS is able to design repairs that will
never fail again. We can also perform real time stress, strain, and
vibration analysis of equipment while in operation.
Portable Machining
Our on-site machining
capabilities were the result of our need to provide additional support
for our crack repair requirements. This work ranges from line boring
operations, to very sophisticated operations that require the
modification and/or design of specialized tools.
Operations performed in the field: Drilling
Boring
Facing
Honing
Milling
All of our shops possess the necessary facilities and
equipment to manufacture component parts, reclaim critical dimensions,
recondition equipment components, and provide services far beyond that
of crack repair. Each of our service centers are complete repair
facilities that can handle your equipment repair requirements.
