Technical Services

If you want to start manufacturing LEVEL I Nuclear Submarine Components for the US Navy, that means adhering to the most rigorous quality system on the planet.

Fortunately for you, we’ve already done the hard part–and now we’re sharing our secrets for the success of the mission. 

You’re not in this alone.

It’s imperative to global security and stability that the United States ramp up the production of Navy Nuclear submarines as quickly as possible.

Cogitic has the technical expertise from over a decade of manufacturing critical components like main shaft seals to support America’s partners in this endeavor.

Having successfully completed hundreds of engineering-driven projects in the Navy Nuclear field, our technical services will be invaluable to any manufacturer looking to take on this demanding work.

Manufacturing Process Mastery

By heavily investing in our people, systems, and procedures over the last decade, we’ve been able to condense extremely complicated machining, welding, and testing requirements into something we can train your team to execute efficiently. Specializing in the machining of HRSA (heat resistant super alloys) and assembly of critical systems, our manufacturing procedures have been designed and calibrated to perfection. 

Capabilities include:

  • 5-axis mill-turn (up to ø60” x 72”)

  • Heavy turning (ø32” x 200”)

  • Wire and sinker EDM

  • Deep hole drilling

  • Cylindrical, jig and surface grinding

  • Lapping, honing and automated polishing

  • Pallet systems allowing for unattended operation

  • On-machine probing and in-process dimensional validation

  • Automatic tool setting (on-machine and off-machine via pre-setting)

  • Complex assembly of small to medium-size systems (mechanical, electrical and opto-mechanical)

  • Characterization of in-service components and assemblies

  • Repair, rebuild and validation of assemblies (seal rings, ball valves, strainers, valve components, etc.)
