During the Engineering Manufacturing Development phase of
early stealth aircraft programs, PWA developed a new level
of risk mitigation by providing innovative computer simulation
and risk reduction testing, ensuring that the performance
requirements of the coating and coating systems could be achieved.
Our computerized process simulation provides a powerful tool
for internal engineering of system integration and off-site
robot programming and path updating. PWA engineers can build
a digital model of the entire automated manufacturing process
in the virtual world of the computer. We take your requirements
through this digital process and validate the PWA approach
to meeting your automation needs. This allows us to significantly
reduce risk and costs, while ensuring process accuracy and
technical viability. The digital model can then be validated
through our lab testing to ensure that all of the customer's
requirements are met. By using this approach, we can tackle
the tough jobs of working with new or exotic materials or
manufacturing processes that are not fully defined.

PWA has developed processes for applying adhesives,
coatings and paints to products ranging from tennis balls
to automotive interior plastic parts to stealth aircraft.
We are now applying those lessons learned to provide our customers
with the best possible technical performance at the best possible
price.
Our process engineers have the in-lab capabilities to automatically
spray, evaluate, reformulate, and validate a wide range of
materials. This approach provides us with the ability to design
the most efficient, cost-effective coating application process to meet your needs.
There is no job too hard or too unusual for PWA. Give us
the tough stuff!

PWA has developed automated processes for applications
as diverse as handling and grinding glass, packaging of
foods and palletizing large automotive components. The process development
efforts performed by PWA eliminate risks associated with the
start up of new manufacturing processes.
Our engineers will evaluate parameters such as production
rate cycle times, facility requirements and budget to determine
the best automation solution for the application . This approach
provides us with the ability to design the most efficient,
cost-effective process solution to meet your needs.

PWA also offers production coating services.
PWA will work with a customer to define a coating process,
either manual or robotic, to create parts per the customer's
scheduled requirements. PWA specializes in low volume
parts with high tolerance paint requirements.
