Turbochargers operate under extreme conditions of temperature, speed and pressure, and must incorporate a vast wealth of technology in order to perform well and provide a satisfactory service life. At first glance, a turbocharger may appear to be a simple machine, but it has an incredibly difficult job in a rugged environment. Its performance and durability rely on in-depth engineering, the right materials, precision manufacturing, and meticulous assembly.
All Turbonetics products are the result of countless hours of design, research,development, and validation to the strictest industry standards. Tools such as advanced 3-D modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are vital to meeting the demanding performance and durability required by our customers.
To ensure that the full performance potential is realized, Turbonetics engineers painstakingly match the turbocharger to the customer's engine, using analytical methods and backing that up with prototypes for on-engine testing, to confirm that all objectives are met.
A hallmark of Turbonetics success is the application support each customer receives, each step of the way, from concept to production and beyond. Turbonetics engineers are focused on delivering the right solution, whether applying existing technology, or developing a new system to meet the unique needs of the customer.
Turbonetics is committed to pushing the state-of-the-art in design technology to constantly achieve higher efficiency, higher performance, and extended durability. Continuous efforts to advance compressor and turbine efficiency and flow are underway. From ever-higher pressure ratios for high-altitude operation, to extended map width for highly transient applications, and everything in between, Turbonetics is focused on solutions to the difficult and challenging conditions that our customers face. Constant enhancements in bearing system performance are achieved by improving rotor stability, increasing load capability, and reducing mechanical losses. These are key criteria for providing the highest reliability and performance for our customers.
Turbonetics has complete testing and validation capabilities to precisely measure improvements in aerodynamic and mechanical systems.
Turbonetics has gas stand capability for:
Turbonetics also has bench test capability for:
Turbonetics, Inc. employs highly qualified machinists, to ensure proper configuration and that precise repeatability of each component is maintained. Utilizing CNC technology with BobCad and Mastercam for turning and milling, Turbonetics regularly produces parts to tolerances of +/-.0005 inch, and even closer on some military products. Turbonetics machine shop works with a variety of materials including steel, aluminum, titanium alloys, Inconels, plastics and more.
To ensure our continued reputation for Quality is maintained, Turbonetics places Quality and Value paramount (unlike some other turbocharger manufacturers that sacrifice quality for low initial price).Our in-house inspectors are constantly examining both products and process to guarantee that product conformity and maximum performance are achieved the first time and every time. With quality being so vital to us, we don't just wait for visits from independent outside inspectors. After all, our Customer is our most important inspector.
Manufacturing and Quality Control work together utilizing state of the art inspection devices to assure conformity is maintained through machining processes. Our Quality Department's Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) runs PC-DMIS software that supports Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) files to be sent to Engineering for 3D modeling verification. All verification and conformity gauges, instruments and tooling are calibrated in accordance with ANSI/NCSL Z540 and only use Metrology laboratories that meet ISO/IEC 17025.Turbonetics meets and exceeds all requirements of ISO 9001:2008 and holdsTurbonetics also supports and meets all Production Parts Approval Process (PPAP) in accordance with ISO/TS16949 Quality Management System.
