Romar Engineering has recently added to our capability with in-house tensile testing, essential to measure material performance and meet applicable industry standards. Most manufacturers rely on external tensile testing. With in-house testing capability, we’re equipped to streamline and enhance our material selection, design for manufacture and commercial manufacture processes – for enhanced customer outcomes.
Testing is central to high quality, compliant and robust manufacturing solutions. At Romar, we employ elastomers and silicone testing at multiple stages prior to manufacture. We test various material properties to ensure consistency, that the material is fit for purpose and that it meets all regulatory standards for sectors including medical, mining, defence and aerospace manufacturing.
From our origins as a traditional manufacturer more than 50 years ago, Romar Engineer is now a leader in innovative manufacturing solutions. Whilst Australian manufacturing has faced significant challenges over the last two years, Alan Lipman sees promising signs for 2022 and beyond. Here he explains what we’re likely to see in Australian manufacturing this year.
Romar Engineering is currently growing our exceptional team of additive manufacturing engineers and materials specialists, and one of our newest arrivals is Dan Meckes, who we’re pleased to announce has joined us as Principal Engineer. With a background spanning medical device manufacturing, aerospace and defence, Dan is ideally placed to develop our tailored and scalable manufacturing solutions for aerospace, medical, mining and defence.
We’re delighted to announce that our newest team member has joined us directly from DMG Mori in Germany. Benjamin Bax is a leading authority on the Lasertec 65, and he will work with Steve Milanoski, Romar’s Head of Advanced Manufacturing, to develop additive manufacturing solutions for the aerospace, medical, mining and defence sectors.
Romar Engineering has been focusing on new IT directions to streamline and enhance workflow. The most recent phase of this involves the integration of ProShop, an ERP (Enterprise Resource System) with an inbuilt MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and QMS (Quality Management System). This uniquely integrated software has immense customer benefits.
Flight-ready valves are now a reality. Romar engineering has a family of valves including cryogenic, oxidiser and Vernier valves that have been tested and commissioned for use in aerospace applications.
Romar has opened a new facility in Sefton NSW, expanding its capability and resources. The new facility is Romar’s advanced manufacturing centre of excellence, incorporating Australia’s only metal 3D printing powder to production line in a completely climate-controlled environment for metal AM, 5-axis CNC and CMM inspection.
Romar has established itself as Australia’s leading manufacturer of advanced rocket components. Working with two space exploration companies, we have successfully engineered and manufactured valve components that have been thoroughly tested and prepared for the rigours of space.
