ASX Composites & Starrett Precision Tools: A Perfect Match for Demanding Applications

Bothell, WA – October 26, 2023 – ASX Composites LLC, a leading US-based manufacturer of high-performance composite tooling and parts, is proud to announce a strategic partnership delivering superior solutions for precision tool applications. We’re talking about pairing our top-notch composite expertise with the legendary accuracy of Starrett precision tools – a combination that's going to seriously up the game for manufacturers across multiple industries. Who is ASX Composites? For those who don’t know us, ASX Composites (located at 116 223rd St SE, Bothell, WA 98021-8317, and reachable at 248-386-3075) isn’t just another composite shop. We're obsessed with pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with fiber-reinforced polymers. We design, engineer, and manufacture tooling and parts for aerospace, automotive, medical, and general industrial applications. What sets us apart? We really listen to our customers’ needs. We don't just build stuff; we solve problems. We handle everything from initial concept to final, ready-to-use parts – and we’re known for delivering on tough deadlines and demanding specifications. We work with a ton of different materials – carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar, you name it – and we're experts in everything from resin infusion to automated fiber placement. Why Starrett? A Legacy of Precision Okay, so we build amazing composite parts. But sometimes, you need to measure those parts with absolute certainty. That’s where Starrett comes in. Starrett is a household name when it comes to precision measurement tools – calipers, micrometers, height gauges, protractors, levels – the list goes on. They've been around for over 140 years, and they're known for their quality, durability, and, most importantly, their accuracy. For generations, manufacturers have relied on Starrett tools to ensure their parts meet the tightest tolerances. And let’s be honest – when you’re working with composites, those tolerances matter. A tiny error can throw off an entire assembly. The Synergy: Composites & Precision Measurement So how do ASX Composites and Starrett work together? It’s simple. We’re providing manufacturers with a one-stop shop for both the advanced composite parts and the ultra-precise tools to inspect and verify them. Here’s a breakdown of what that looks like: Aerospace Applications: Think lightweight aircraft components. We build the carbon fiber parts, and Starrett tools ensure they meet the incredibly strict FAA regulations. Precise measurement is crucial for safety and performance. For example, verifying the dimensions of a composite wing spar using a Starrett height gauge and digital caliper. Automotive Industry: Composites are becoming increasingly popular in cars to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency. We’re building everything from body panels to interior components. Starrett’s micrometers and bore gauges are essential for ensuring these parts fit perfectly and meet quality standards. Imagine checking the roundness of a carbon fiber wheel well using a Starrett dial indicator. Medical Devices: Accuracy is paramount in the medical field. We manufacture composite components for surgical instruments and diagnostic equipment. Starrett’s precision calipers and micrometers are used to verify critical dimensions, ensuring these devices perform reliably and safely. Checking the diameter of a composite syringe barrel with a Starrett digital caliper is just one example. Industrial Manufacturing: From robotic arms to specialized jigs and fixtures, composites are revolutionizing industrial processes. We build the parts, and Starrett tools ensure they’re built right. Using a Starrett protractor to verify angles on a composite fixture is a common application. Specifically, Here’s What We’re Offering: We’re not just throwing two great products together. We're building integrated solutions. This includes: Custom Composite Tooling: We can design and build composite tooling specifically optimized for manufacturing precision parts. Fiber Reinforced Polymer Parts: We deliver complex shapes and demanding tolerances in carbon fiber, fiberglass, and other composite materials. Integrated Quality Control Packages: We’re offering bundles of Starrett precision tools tailored to specific composite manufacturing processes. Think a complete inspection kit for carbon fiber layup. Calibration Services: We can help ensure your Starrett tools are properly calibrated for maximum accuracy. (Offered through partnerships) Expert Consultation: Our engineers can provide guidance on both composite material selection and precision measurement techniques. The Benefits are Clear: Improved Quality: Precise measurement leads to fewer defects and higher-quality finished products. Reduced Costs: Early detection of errors saves time and money. Faster Time to Market: Streamlined quality control processes accelerate production. Enhanced Reliability: Accurate components lead to more reliable products. Peace of Mind: Knowing your parts are built and inspected to the highest standards. What’s Next? We’re excited about this partnership and the opportunities it creates for our customers. We’re actively working on developing new integrated solutions and expanding our offerings.
