Uses of CIT Manufactured Parts
Welded parts manufactured at CIT have wide uses. These include diode leads, lamp leads, resistor elements, and tantalum capacitors.
These parts are packaged in various ways such as round vials, square vials, and different size boxes. With the exception of box packaging, the welder will typically have automatic counting and packaging.
Quality of welded components is controlled by the use of statistical process control (SPC) during manufacture of parts. This process is then checked doubly by a final inspection.
To implement this quality control requires the use of various test instruments and computer testing instruments, including digital micrometers, digital comparators, digital pull testers, digital OHM meters, and computer-controlled part handlers.
All of this equipment is integrated into a complete system via a PC computer network which allows access to process data at any time.

During Wet Process Glass Cutting,
CIT Releases No Contaminated Water into the Environment
Component InterTechnologies has been cutting glass with high lead content for many years. During that time environmental regulations have been changed concerning the treatment of used process water.
To address the need to process water used in cutting leaded glass, CIT engineered a closed loop water treatment system which uses mechanical filtration to remove contaminants. Click to continue
Compaction of Low Density Tantalum Anodes for Increased Weld Strength
A capacitor manufacturer discovered that its in-house welding of low density tantalum was creating low weld strengths. CIT engineered a completely new pellet feeding welding system which solved the problem.

Cut Glass Tube & Rod
CIT provides two very different types of glass cutting methods:
Wet Process Diamond Saw Glass Cutting for Glass Tubes and Rods
In this is a high speed high volume proces, the saw cutting is done using thin diamond wheels lubricated by water. This process is capable of cutting glass tubing as well as cutting glass canes and rods. It is the most precise method and can hold tight tolerances.

Score, Snap and Polish Glass Tubing and Glass Rod Cutting
This method uses a sharp object to scratch glass and then bends it to propagate the crack through the glass tubing or glass rod and break it into exact lengths. Finished product can be furnished with a fire polished (glazed) ends or as cut. This process is better suited for hard types of glass.
