Quality in Engineering Support

Production at KI is supported by a well-rounded staff of experienced engineers who are specialists in their fields. The latest CAD/CAM systems are used to provide design and process solutions for a wide variety of customer-specified designs. The three major elements of KI's engineering section are product design, manufacturing engineering, and tool design. Product design works closely with each customer to develop parts which will perform as specified.

Manufacturing engineers develop their production process required to form the parts to the customers' requirements. They select appropriate production machines and tools. Additionally, they determine the process specifications. Tool design, in collaboration with the product design and manufacturing engineering staff, designs and fabricates the required tools and dies. All of these engineering functions performed with equal concern given to product performance, quality and cost effectiveness.
