The welding department, here at Magnus Hitech, has recently added another unit to its line up, further diversifying methods of welding and making it more efficient. Miller’s state of the art AlumaFeed™ Synergic Aluminum Welding System uses the productivity and simplicity of MIG (Molybdenum Inert Gas), but provides a TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) feel and appearance. The AlumaFeed uses a wire feeding mechanism which elimates the need to manually applying welding wire to the product. This, undoubtedly, allows the welder to have a free hand, allowing them to work more comfortably and accurately.
Features included in the AlumaFeed, such as Hot Start, help begin and end welds accurately, without messy puddles. The Crater ability is another useful feature which prevents from making crater defects. It does so by gradually decreasing the rate of currents when ending a weld. And with the built-in programmable Pulsed Programs, peak and background currents are automatically adjusted into sync with the welder’s desired wire speed, virtually eliminating warping and distorting.
Magnus Hitech was recently featured in the “Customer Success” division of the CAMworks website, where Mike Blake, Methods Engineer/Program Manager, discusses topics such as Magnus Hitech Industries’ ability to perform precision machining in an efficient manner. Below is a selection for the article:
“Magnus Hi-Tech Industries Inc., (www.magnusht.com) Melbourne, Florida, is good at what it does: providing high quality solutions to the full range of its customers’ fabrication needs. Using advanced sheet metal fabrication and machining technology, coupled with rigorous quality methodologies, has enabled Magnus Hi-Tech to win a host of customers in the defense, aerospace, medical and other demanding fields.
With a range of products that includes holding brackets and complex components for military simulators, plus housings, struts, mounting blocks, impellers, and military chassis to name just a few, the company is called on to respond quickly and efficiently to a diverse array of fabricating and machining needs. They do this through an equipment lineup that includes laser cutting and electrical discharge machining (EDM) as well as CNC turning and milling machines.” (CAMworks)

Below is a slideshow displaying the process of piecing together a multi-assembly sheet metal part from start to finish. You will see it being cut out on the punch press, go through inspection, being bent at the brake, being welded, deburred, assembled, submerged in iridite, masked and primed, painted, and part marked/silkscreened.
Today was the delivery date of our newest machine, the Mazak Integrex 200 IV S-Series. The Integrex is a 6-axis CNC mill that’s considered to be one of the most used multi-tasking machines in the world, tackling tasks such as turning, milling, grinding, contouring, and much more. It also includes numerous advanced functions, such as Active Vibration Control, which reduces tool vibration, generating products and finishes of higher quality. Mazak uses the phrase “Done-On-One” when referring to the machines capability of single set up processing, which significantly reduces production time.

The June 2009 issue of Performance Racing Industry included an article called Boot up the latest:CAD/CAM SOFTWARE which spoke of some of the benefits of running parts through a five-axis environment and modern day CAD/CAM, and much more. The article featured some words from Magnus Hi-techs Methods Engineer/Program Manager, Mike Blake. For a small climpse of the article, click on the link provided below:
We are sad to report that the Magnus family has lost one of its most respected members today. Nunzio Zappola passed away earlier this morning.
Nunzio started with our founder Angelo Bonarrigo Sr. in New York back in the ‘70s and moved to Florida when Magnus Hitech Industries Inc. was opened in 1984.
We send our prayers and sympathies to his wife and children as well as all his family and friends. He was an outstanding member of the community and he will be greatly missed.
Frank Bonarrigo
President
To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die.

Magnus Hitech recently made a donation to the Melbourne Fire Department with efforts to keep Melbourne safe and beautiful. It was a contribution made that will help the Melbourne Fire Department and the National Fire Safety Council, Inc. educate not only children, but their parents as well, with the basics and importance of fire prevention and safety. The National Fire Safety Council, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization that has been educating families since 1979 with their own exclusively designed materials and demonstrations.
