bo-mar is Nadcap Accredited

As a company that is ISO 9001:2008 Certified and Nadcap Accredited, bo-mar focuses on custom metal fabrication. The certifications and quality management we implement are key aspects to the success of our business. We have on-staff engineers who assist with product development, designing, and improving costs by optimizing designs for manufacturing. Whether your needs are for a single defense metal fabrication prototype or a thousand piece order, bo-mar has the capacity to assist you. We are equipped with the latest technologies and equipment for defense metal fabrication, from Mazak lasers to Flow waterjets and HAAS machine centers. bo-mar does it all under one roof: machining, precision welding, waterjet cutting, laser cutting, and press brake forming.

Aerospace-Defense

The challenges with aerospace-defense metal fabrication projects are the complex shapes, tight tolerances and stringent quality requirements. In order to manufacture aerospace components, bo-mar uses precision equipment that will hold much tighter tolerances than “typical” metal fabrication. The immense advantage of being Nadcap Accredited is the increased quality of products, which is a direct result of the strict guidelines and measurements required. Our Nadcap Accreditation gives us first-class appeal in the Aerospace industry. Currently there are only a handful companies in the United States that possess this advanced certification.  Both Nadcap and ISO 9001:2008 have improved our metal fabrication processes and quality standards exponentially.

Attack Barrier Plate

Project: Attack Barrier Plate

Attack Barrier Plates being Assembled

Deploys in less than a second!

When the trespassers attempt an unauthorized entry and hit this at 55mph, they're done!

bo-mar has been contracted to fabricate several defense projects. The Attack Barrier Plate project has been the most elaborate project manufactured for the defense industry. This project was a fabricated metal assembly that military bases and other high security facilities installed to defend against entry by unauthorized vehicles. The Attack Barrier Plates are embedded in concrete at entrances, near guard shacks. Linked is a video of the barrier plate being tested. This clip shows a fifteen thousand pound truck colliding into the barrier plate at 55 mph. Subsequently, the truck stopped dead in its tracks. The plate on top is 3/4 inch steel. It’s 9 foot by 4 foot and deploys in less than one second.

When the customer approached us about the project there were already drawings and plans for the barrier plates.  However, our experienced staffs of engineers and designers were able to modify the plans and change a few fabrication techniques.  The Attack Barrier Plates were being fabricated by iron workers before bo-mar became involved with the project.  The end product was rougher, and less precise in the way it had been manufactured.  We were able to use one of our three Mazak Lasers Cutters to cut the plates.  A laser machine cuts material more efficient and precise than a plasma cutter would be able to.  Also, laser cutting insures that the size of every piece that is cut and fabricated will be the exact same size.  The installation process of the barrier plates goes much smoother if the product is consistently manufactured.  All in all, our cohesive team was able to make the Attack Barrier Plate a more dependable and efficient product.
