Innovation takes many forms when you work with Newcor design and R&D technicians and engineers. Many times it can be as simple and quickly profitable as applying one or more of our unique patented technologies. The broad range of our technical know-how involves special welding technology, special forming technology, resistance heating and heat treating, automation, machine control logic and even diagnostics. Our extensive ongoing R&D has led to over 40 "industry firsts" many of which still remain unique to Newcor.

Compressor and pump assembly frames for A/C are produced by an integrated manufacturing system that applies Newcor roll forming, Mash seam welding, expanding, planishing and end machining processes.

Four sizes of standard RWMA spot (left) and seam (right) press welders are available with a range of transformer sizes and weld controls.

The design of the silver bearing contact head allows the operator to weld chime bands from 14 inch to 23 inch diameter.

Production Rates - 900 to 1100 chime bands per hour depending on the operator. 900 to 1100 chime bands per hour depending on the operator.

Newcor chime band welders are used for lap seam welding of a chime band used on fiber drums.

Chime bands from a minimum of 14 inches to a maximum of 23 inches can be welded.

Electric Motor & Compressors:

The production of motor frames and similar cylindrical shaped parts has been an area in which Newcor has been an industry leader. By applying some unique metal fabricating technology involving expanding, Mash seam and arc welding, notching and planishing, Newcor has developed several standard machine designs.

Line Flow motor shell production machine produces steel shells 6 inch diameter and 12 inch long from 0.094 inch thick material.

Newcor standard motor shell machines produce cylindrical shells at production rates up to 750 per hour.

Resistance Heating Process:

Newcor is a leading producer of innovative direct resistance heating and heat treating systems. These systems are designed and built to provide efficient, automatic processing of workpieces ranging from steel bars up to 26-f-t long to automotive drive shafts and stabilizer bars. Both resistance and induction methods of heating can be applied to heat treat, stress relieve, anneal, cure, shrink or form.

Some of our unique systems include:

Assembly of automotive bumper shock mounting plates and isolator tubes by hot upsetting.
A stress relieving system that heats multiples of three to nine bars to preset temperature values depending on the diameter.

Newcor resistance heat treating system replaces conventional furnace heating of stabilizer bars.

Steel bars ranging in size from 5-in. diameter to 26-ft. feet long are resistance heat treated.

Tube Fabricating Processes:

Welding

Machines utilizing a variety of welding technologies are available for tube mill operations, For example, processing tubing earmarked for mandrel drawing and redrawing, or striving for high quality products calling for smooth weld beads free from weld spatter should be using Newcor direct current tube mill welders.

Our machines are capable of welding speeds in excess of 300 fpm.

Annealing

Resistance annealing equipment can be integrated into continuous tube processing lines where the product is cold worked or cold reduced.

Brake tubes for cars are produced by a 40,000 AMP NEW-PAK® direct current welder.

Newcor annealing machines remove stresses so tubing can be formed into refrigerator condenser units.

Projection Welding Process:

Newcor applies projection welding to assemble blanked, stamped, formed and machined parts. Mechanical fasteners, brackets, pins, handles, clips and similar components are attached to many products in this way.

An important advantage of this process is that a number of welds can be made in a single cycle. Also, the welds require less overlap, can be spaced closer, and can be produced with narrower flanges than spot welds. Weld locations are more accurate, and nugget diameter thicknesses are generally more consistent than those produced in spot welding.

Studs are projection welded to torque converter covers.
