Everite's
History
Everite has a well-earned reputation of innovation,
delivering industry-leading technology in six decades:
2000s
-
Developing new electrochemical
machining (ECM) techniques.
-
Expanding application base
to include automated equipment for pointing of hypodermic
cannula.
-
Upgraded quality control
system from MIL-Q-9858A TO ISO 9001:2000.
1990s
-
Everite's electrochemical
grinding equipment began to be used more widely
in the medical devices industry, as use of sophisticated
metals grew as well as the need for precision and
burr-free edges.
-
Expanded operations to
include high production manufacturing facility.
-
Developed new production
machining methods for variety of medical implants.
1980s
-
Adapted CNC control to
electrochemical grinding technology.
-
Acquired Tarcon Control
Systems. Tarcon manufactured control systems, panels
and consoles for Everite and other customers in
the machine tool and process industries.
-
Opened facility in Limerick,
Ireland in order to serve our growing European customer
base.
1970s
-
Developed new line of vertical
electrochemical grinding equipment, which is capable
of machining new materials being used in aircraft
engines. The first machines were sold to General
Electric and U.S. Department of Defense. These new
applications grew out of a need to find more effective
and economical ways to work with difficult-to-machine
alloys.
1960s
-
Introduced first electrochemical
surface grinding machine for production parts, used
for burr-free machining of metals. With this machine,
electrochemical grinding moved from the tool room
to the production floor.
-
Developed first electrochemical
grinding wheel, with Bay State Abrasives.
-
Introduced first electrochemical
tube cutoff machine. The first machine built is
still in operation in customer's plant.
-
Everite's tube cutoff machines
began to be used widely in the tubing industry.
-
Designed and built specialized
electrochemical grinding equipment to machine the
magnetic parts in the receiver of every telephone
manufactured by Western Electric.
1950s
-
Company founded as prime
contractor to the US military.
-
Participated in U.S. Department
of Defense efforts to develop an alternative process
for sharpening carbide tools that didn't use industrial
diamondsã which were in short supply during the
Korean War.
-
Chemist responsible for
inventing electrochemical grinding technology joined
Everite to develop industrial equipment and research
new applications.
-
Everite began producing
the first electrochemical grinding machine, used
for off-hand grinding of carbide cutting tools.
Common in tool rooms, these machines provided an
effective, inexpensive and convenient way to sharpen
tools, before the development of indexable, throwaway
inserts.
