Advantages of using Intelligent Cutting Solutions

ICS distinguishes itself from the competition by focusing exclusively on waterjet cutting services, rather than being a parts manufacturer with surplus capacity. This specialization allows ICS to prioritize and dedicate attention to each order.

While many fabricators and machine shops offer waterjet cutting among their array of services, their attention to external orders may be secondary to their own production needs. In contrast, ICS is committed to delivering high-quality cuts with quick lead times. The team is trained to provide meticulous attention to every project, supported by multiple machines to handle a broad range of capacities and a disruption plan to minimize delays.

Our most common (and preferred) file format is a . DXF file, although we do accept AI, EPS, and DWG files. Most graphic design and CAD software do allow you to export your designs into one of these vector-based formats. These files are what make collaboration on drawings and designs possible, this format is fully scalable and will retain its quality.

Material intake & inspection

Upon delivery of material ICS completes a thorough physical inspection to check for damage. The receiving personnel will perform a visual inspection of materials' thickness, size, damage, and any other visible non-conformance. Our team then identifies and sorts incoming materials by customer and job number. ICS ensures that all material specifications match our customer's request and enough has arrived to complete the job. This step in our quality management system is in place to avoid material mix-ups between customers and delays in production.

Certifications & Approvals

AS9100 Approved supplier: The AS9100d certification is a quality management system for aviation, space, and defense organizations.

ISO9001 Certified: ISO9001 is another quality management standard that ICS implements. This certification presents specific standards that allow us to increase business efficiency and boost customer satisfaction.

ITAR Compliant: The ITAR compliance program is a set of regulations that are required by the U.S. government for any company that is involved in the manufacturing or shipping of defense articles or services

Certifications

ICS Contract Review

upon receiving materials and a purchase order the ICS team begins their contract review process. All customer purchase orders or contracts are reviewed to ensure that product requirements are defined, and confirm that ICS has the ability to meet the defined requirements, including delivery and post-delivery activities. Members of our engineering and quality teams are responsible for reviewing customer requirements and transferring them to the job router. This includes confirming drawing revisions, clarifying quality requirements, and sending a sales order acknowledgment over to the customer with an expected completion date.

Advanced Scheduling

ICS plans our production schedule at least one week in advance. Our scheduling processes take into account machine capacity and available labor to create an optimal schedule that offers quick lead times to our customers while maintaining achievability. ICS implements an interactive and visual approach to scheduling to promote collaboration amongst our internal teams.

Extensive Disruptions Plans

ICS has an extensive company-wide disruption plan in place to avoid delays in delivery commitments.

Spare Part Inventory: ICS’s production team keeps back-ups and replacements of parts that commonly fail due to the natural wear and tear from the abrasive process.
Machine Monitoring System: ICS also monitors all five of our Flow waterjet machines 24/7 through a performance portal.
Preventative Maintenance: ICS Schedules regular preventive maintenance checks to ensure our waterjet systems are running at optimal performance.

Fixture building & design services

ICS’s engineering and production teams work together to develop and build any custom tooling that is needed to ensure the highest quality cuts can be made. Proper fixturing is crucial to maintaining the accuracy of waterjet cutting. The ICS engineering team takes vertical force, lateral force, and collisions into consideration during fixture design and development.

Nesting & Material Optimization experts

ICS’s state-of-the-art machines and highly skilled staff make nesting parts easy. Our team is trained to nest parts in a way that minimizes scrap and maximizes material usage.

Utilizing State-of-art Equipment

ICS uses state-of-the-art Flow waterjet machines that have the fastest cutting speeds and highest accuracy in the industry. All of the machines used at ICS have the following cutting-edge technology.

ICS Technology

Full Visual & Dimensional Inspections

Every job that comes into ICS receives a first-piece inspection to ensure the part is dimensionally accurate before the remaining quantities go through production. When any first article inspections are performed, the ICS team follows the AS9100 format, and the resulting records are documented and retained as necessary.

ICS conducts a 100% visual inspection and sample dimensional inspection for all jobs following the full production run. Dimensional inspection reports are available to all customers upon request.

Advanced Shipping Procedures

Upon project completion our shipping department goes through an extensive shipping list to ensure the correct quantities are packaged, all parts have been properly cleaned, required certs are included, and inspections were performed. ICS’s shipping department then properly packages up the completed parts to prevent damage in transit.

We cannot say enough about the quality and great turn around times from ICS. they are going to be an asset to our company. It has been very easy communicating with Rick to get exactly what we need. We are looking forward to a long relationship between ICS and our company.

Roger P. Estimator
Everyone I have dealt with at ICS has been really great. All are very friendly, professional and just a pleasure to work with. RFQ's are responded to promptly and your pricing can't be beat.

David M. Estimator
Rick and his team are fast to respond to request and questions. The lead time they provide is perfect for our projects. Rick has also been very accommodating if an issue with an order needs to be addressed. My team of engineers and designers in our Special Gage Division at Starrett all know about ICS.

Samuel W. Engineer & Senior Designer
Rick and Nick take incredible responsibility of every part they make for us. The quotes are reasonable, the turnaround times are fantastic, and the communication is top-tier.

Scott. E Advisory Mechanical Designer
This was the first utilization of ICS for Atlantic Fabricating. Rick Comeau was extremely responsive and even with our extremely critical, time sensitive request the team at ICS was able to make things work and ensure that we had parts. We are extremely grateful for the work that ICS has done and will most definitely be looking to utilize ICS more.
