Ascentec Engineering was established in 2001 by a team of process and manufacturing engineers with a solid background in electronics manufacturing processes. The founders brought with them experience in designing innovative and productivity-enhancing tools and fixtures that held up to the technology changes within the industry and gained an enviable reputation as an EMS industry leader for tooling solutions. In 2007, Ascentec began a Precision Machining division focused on providing quick-turn prototype and short-run production contract machining, along with integrated assembly services. CHALLENGES It’s an unhappy day indeed when a CNC machine crashes and it may take days, perhaps weeks, for the damage to be assessed and repaired. During that time, the shop staff not only loses the machine’s productive capacity but worries that it may not be possible to restore the machine to its previous ability to hold tight tolerances. It is bad enough when a vertical 3-axis CNC mill crashes, but when

Agilent Technologies Inc. reported orders of $1.91 billion, up 4 percent over one year ago, for the fourth fiscal quarter ended Oct. 31, 2014, and revenues of $1.81 billion, up 5 percent compared with one year ago. Fourth-quarter GAAP net income was $16 million, or $0.05 per share. Last year's fourth-quarter GAAP net income was $211 million, or $0.63 per share. These results include Keysight Technologies, formerly Agilent's electronic measurement business.
