Since opening its doors in 1955, Rogers Associates has been known for quality special purpose equipment and precision components. We excel in the seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic and control systems into one complete turnkey package. The products we produce are most often designed by our engineering group, or at a minimum have a high level of engineering collaboration with our customers. We are vertically integrated within our manufacturing group, facilitating our ability to not only design but build a wide variety of products in-house. We have machining capabilities for both large format and small precision components. Our 65,000 square foot facility has more than 20,000 square feet dedicated to equipment build, assembly and run-off. Our capabilities include:

• Product design

• Mechanical systems design

• Electrical systems design

• Research and development

• Engineering Analysis – FEA, CFD, EMI/RFI

• Complex systems design/build

• Vertically-integrated

• Full machining capabilities

• Aerospace welding/fabrication

• Precision assembly

• Functional testing

• Metrology lab

• Site Installation

Corporate Capabilities Innovative Engineering

Rogers Associates has a diverse core of Engineering Professionals

with extensive background in mechanical design and analysis,

electrical systems, manufacturing systems, machining and

fabrication. They are also well versed in Computational Fluid

Dynamics and EMI/RFI analysis and mitigation. Our engineering

staff provides a tremendous support system for our

manufacturing/project engineers who plan, direct, and coordinate

the manufacturing processes for projects designed internally as

well as built to customer-provided prints. Daily reports between

the two departments allow for quick responses to issues and

concerns, for example a timely design change or dedicated

fixturing.

Our engineers and support staff have extensive experience

designing and building all types of test, manufacturing, and

assembly systems as well as precision components for a variety of

industries including aerospace, industrial equipment, automotive,

electronics, transportation, medical, consumer products, and

defense. Our designs and equipment have been used in a wide

variety of applications including:

• Spacecraft assembly, test and manipulation equipment

and tooling

• Aerospace ground handling equipment

• Large precision structures and equipment

• Vibration test fixtures

• Composite manufacturing equipment (winders,

presses, handling equipment)

• Flight hardware

• Defense products

• Test cells

• High speed dedicated machining lines

• Moving conveyor assembly systems

• Washing and cleaning equipment

PAST EXPERIENCE

Project: Fabrication of Components for

Secondary Mirror Tilt/ Tip Module

Customer: Aura – Gemini Observatory

This project included a “Design for Manufacturability”

analysis along with associated recommendations,

fabrication, and machining, testing, and precision

assembly of a series of sub-assemblies which

complete the Tilt-tip Module for the secondary mirror.

A wide variety of materials was used in this project,

including aluminum, high nickel alloys, and stainless

steels. The machining and fabrication processes

included EDM, precision milling and turning, grinding,

lapping, heat treating, precision sheet metal

fabrication and deep drawing.

This project encompassed design, construction, assembly

and testing of large, actuated tooling to be used in the

ground assembly of deployable satellite antenna systems.

Work included stiffness optimization through FEA,

identification of suitable COTS components, welding and

precision machining of large parts. Assemblies consisted of

a stand over 9 ft high and a frame approximately 12 ft x 14

ft. Precision rails gave the frame 5 ft of travel, with a

repeatability of .001”. The total assembly, over 16 ft tall, was

required to deflect .010” or less under functional loading.

Each of the (8) assemblies was tested for functionality and

subjected to proof loading and customer-specified

deflection-test loading at Rogers’ facility. Rogers fabricated

shipping / storage skids for the assemblies and arranged for

transportation of the wide-load shipments. Assistance was

provided for installation at the customer’s clean-room

facility.

PAST EXPERIENCE ROGERS ASSOCIATES MACHINE TOOL CORPORATION

This project included design,

precision welding and machining,

assembly and testing. The largest

component in the assembly was a

Double Volute, originally designed

as a casting. Rogers successfully

re-designed this component as a

two piece weldment, providing a

product with superior dimensional

and surface finish characteristics.

The pump was assembled in our

clean room and hydrostatically

tested to 750psi.

Project: J2X LOX Pump Test Rig

Customer: Jacobs ESTS Group

Project: Ares1- X Fabrication

Customer: NASA, Glenn Research Center

OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

This project involved the fabrication, inspection and shipping of

components and parts for the Ares 1 Launch Vehicle utilizing NASA

supplied designs. These components and parts, consisting of

individual structural members and complex fabricated weldments

were integrated into the Upper Stage Simulator. Process planning

was applied to each individual detail. This included an approved

documented manufacturing process plan for each detail which

includes proper material procurement, provides a detailed

manufacturing sequence, and dictates the collection of proper

item documentation. An approved welding PQR was created for

this project. Upon completion of each detail or component a one-

hundred percent ISO-9001 compliant inspection was conducted

under the guidance and direction of our quality department and

a NASA appointed quality inspector who was required to be on

site. An end item data pack was created. Rogers provided NASA-

GRC secure access to our website where all pertinent project

information was retained. Rogers’s project management staff

participated in a weekly status meeting with the NASA project

team to review schedule and areas of concern or question.
