Capabilities

Reverse Engineering

ProCast utilizes the very latest technology for reverse engineering parts to assure fast and accurate reproduction of the component.  There is no pump part so complicated it can't be replicated quickly and inexpensively.  Using a Platinum FARO Laser ScanArm and powerful 3D modeling software, complex geometries and free form surfaces are rapidly scanned and digitized to create a fully surfaced CAD model which can be used to record and accurately reproduce the item. A sample component part is all that is required.  

Data acquisition using this articulated arm gathers three-dimensional data within a six foot sphere, enabling dimensions to be repeatable to within 0.001”. The FARO Arm is portable and can travel to customer site locations when necessary.

Rapid Pattern Manufacturing

Our state-of-the-art pattern shop utilizes a 5 Axis CNC Router to create patterns accurately, quickly, and inexpensively. This technology allows us to move from the traditional pattern making methods, based on 2D drawings to modern, computer based 3D modeling and machining. The use of 3D models downloaded directly into the 5 Axis CNC Router removes the ambiguity inherent in 2D drawings. The result is greatly improved accuracy, reduced cost, and shortened delivery times.

ProCast Foundry

With more than 25 years of experience, the ProCast™ foundry (http://procastfoundry.com) located in Cullman, Alabama has been producing quality sand castings for customers throughout the world. Operating with a job shop mentality along with a very flexible work force, the ProCast foundry is geared to rapid casting technology in order to meet lead times that few foundries can equal.

Casting materials offered are:   ferrous-based ranging from carbon steel to various corrosion resistant stainless steels, duplex / super duplex stainless steel, and nickel alloys.  See complete list of materials under "ProCast Material List."

Our flexibility of alloys allows us to give our customers various material options from one pattern. Castings are produced in the weight range up to 2500 lbs. (1134kg).

The ProCast foundry has the added advantage of having our own stand-alone pattern shop which utilizes a 5 Axis CNC Router (for fast, accurate, and inexpensive patterns), and employs three journey pattern makers. Our pattern makers work with wood and plastic materials producing high quality patterns from either 3D Solid Models, 2D Drawings or replicating from used/worn parts.

A full-time metallurgical engineer is on staff and is available to answer any questions you may have.
All chemistries are checked using a solid state spectograph to ensure all alloys are manufactured ASTM requirements. 

ISO 9001:2000 Certified.
