2004 Sparton Designs and Fabricates Custom Nema 4 Enclosures for Fenway Park

Just in time for the season's opening game at Fenway Park, in Boston, Massachussets, Sparton was contacted by an architectural firm requesting us to design and fabricate custom nema 4 enclosures to surround the wall between the Red Sox dugout and homeplate. The enclosures house LCD televisions used by team owners and guests. Next time you visit the ball park, look for our enclosures.

Sparton Continues its Automation Build-up

Despite the general slowdown in the machining industry and general economy, we have been able to steadily build up our milling department by purchasing new equipment geared toward reduced labor costs. This is the third machining center we have purchased this quarter including an RA-IIIG vertical machining center, H-Plus 405 horizontal machining center and the newest this December (SH-403 horizontal machining center, shown above). We believe that without heavy investment in automation, domestic manufacturers will be find it increasingly difficult to compete in the global marketplace. Shops that do not continuously improve efficiency through reduced set-ups and faster more productive equipment will be left with an ever shrinking share of the available work. Sparton Technology is positioning itself to achieve that competitive advantage! Schedule a tour to see how our business model is a recipe for success.

New Horizontal and Vertical Machining Centers

With our milling work load increasing steadily, we purchased our Matsuura H 405-Plus (horizontal machining center) and Matsuura RA-IIIG (vertical machining center) to keep our customer deliveries on schedule.

Matsuura H 405-Plus Horizontal Machining Center

With it's six pallets and 310 tool magazine we can keep many parts set-up continuously for "lights out" machining.

Matsuura RA-IIIG Vertical Machining Center

The RA family of two pallet vertical machining centers have been steady performers at Sparton. The addition of this RA-IIIG makes three of this model, not to mention our larger RA-4G purchased in 2000. We will utilize it's two pallet system for higher volume work to minimize down time.

Sparton Enhances Engineering Capabilities with Solid Works

Early this summer, Sparton purchased two seats of Solid Works enhancing our engineering capabilities and allowing us to open native files from customers. Solid Works has become the most popular CAD software used by our customer base. SolidWorks enables us to draw solid models or parts in 3D and see a true representation of how machined and fabricated parts will fit and function together.

Sparton Develops and Introduces it's Shop Assistant Product Line

The Shop Assistant brand has been developed by Sparton and will be marketed to sheet metal fabricators and precision machine shops. There are several products in the line including:

TapStation: TapStation is a mobile shop cart designed for use with tapping arms which allow both machine shops and sheet metal fabricators to perform rapid thread tapping offline.

ToolStation: ToolStation is a workstation designed to provide part storage space, operator working space and neatly organized 40 taper NC tools.

Tower of Power: The Tower of Power series of NC tooling carts are designed to hold large amounts of 40 or 50 taper tools.

Folder Racks: In most organized job shops, we need durable wide folder racks to prioritize our shop travelers at each workstation and in production offices.
