Napoleon Engineering Services celebrated the ground breaking of its state of the art 20, 000 square foot facility with the employees who get-it-done. Braving the elements, the employees kicked off the construction of the Johnson Street facility in in Olean NY, which will house a modern Bearing Inspection, Bearing Testing and Custom Bearing Manufacturing facility. The new building will allow NES to further serve the needs of its expanding customer base while maintaining its trade mark efficiency and quality. At Napoleon Engineering Services we have made a serious commitment to the development of our people, equipment, and facilities to further enhance our capacity and capabilities. The construction of our new complex supports this mission and will aid in our success as we enter into a new and exciting era at NES, states company President and Chief Engineer, Chris Napoleon. This new era will provide NES the opportunity to expand with the growing demand within the bearing industry for NES products and services. With the inception of the Johnson Street Plant comes the capability for continual growth and expansion. Not only does this facility provide expansion for NES but it also allows our customers to flourish by providing them with the utmost capability in Bearing Inspection, Bearing Testing, and Custom Bearing Manufacturing, adds Napoleon. The new site is slated to open in the fall of 2010 and is located adjacent to Interstate 86. To further enhance bearing performance we offer a comprehensive inspection program highlighted by our unique Source Qualification Inspection ( SQI ) Program. Our unbiased SQI program is used by a variety of companies in a number of industries to qualify different suppliers and evaluate the effectiveness of the bearing through reverse engineering. A standard SQI includes an inspection of dimensional characteristics, quality of workmanship, and material integrity. Many other inspection formats are offered including first article inspection, failure analysis, condition analysis and metallurgical testing. Our 25 rig test facility with over 100 bearing testing locations provides clients the ability to test bearings to failure through life testing. The information gained from these tests is invaluable as it can provide increased knowledge of the capability of the product design and estimated life expectancy within the proposed application. NES also has the ability to custom build a test rig specific to your application to provide you with useful and reliable reports and weibull plots. With our triple threat of bearing services there is a service or product that will meet and exceed the demands of your application. Contact us today to develop a specific bearing manufacturing, inspection or testing plan that meets your needs.
