| This piece represents New Tech's laser and conventional machining capabilities. The tube, with a wall thickness of .005", was cut and the end cap (A) .005" thick was welded to the tube. The upper flange assembly (B) was done in the conventional machine shop. This was then assembled and welded to the tube and a weld to create a hermetic seal (C) was required. The weld in area C was also critical in that the ID of the tube had to remain constant. |  |
