Manufacturing Capabilities
ADC consists of different departments to make up the framework of our operations. This
includes; Engineering Design and Analysis, Manufacturing and Planning, Temperature
Control/Clean Room Assembly/Testing Facility, Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) Facility, Metrology
Laboratory, Magnetic Measurement Facility (Undulator Testing Facility), and Electronics and
Instrumentation. Each department plays an important role in the capabilities we offer our
customers. It is rare to find this myriad of capabilities in one company.
At ADC, each large long-term contract is assigned dedicated space in our machine shop,
assembly area, or both, depending on the size and nature of the contract. ADC will make sure
from the beginning that there will be sufficient resources available for manufacturing, assembly
and testing. ADC has built a solid relationship with its material suppliers. Since we have also
started to implement ISO 9001, all of our suppliers have been, or will be, certified by our QC
department. Every part is thoroughly inspected on arrival. Our personnel are trained and
experienced in ADC’s strict quality control program. Material certifications are examined and
properly filed.
Machine Shop
Our Manufacturing department is dedicated to fabricating, installing, and servicing systems to
satisfy our customers' needs fully. State-of-the-art technology is used to build a wide variety of
equipment. 9000 square feet of floor space was added to our manufacturing department and
includes a welding room, shown below, (TIG, MIG, and other types), EDM machining, CNC
machining including a MG 840 Gantry Bridge CNC Vertical Machining Center, and precision
grinding. Forklifts allow us to move the most massive structures among the work areas during
the fabrication process.

We have most recently acquired three machining centers from HASS, shown below, and a Lucas
Table Type Horizontal Boring Mill, shown on the following page. We have also set up a
computer station with the appropriate program packages so that we can feed our CAD drawings
directly into our machining centers.

Lucas Horizontal Boring Mill
Mastercam X6 CAD/CAM Software has been certified for Autodesk Inventor 2013 3D
mechanical design software under the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program. Digital
Prototyping with Autodesk Inventor software gives ADC the ability to digitally design, visualize,
and simulate how a product will work under real world conditions before it is built, which helps
reduce cost and increase efficiency.. This will reduce our cost, improve our quality (allows more
complicated shapes for fabrication) and improve manufacturing schedules.

We also have an 8,000 lb and 16,000 lb Toyota industrial forklift available for moving parts
throughout the shop.
Toyota Forklift
One change that we applied over the last 5 years that has greatly improved our scheduling is to
“farm out” fabrication. Even though we maintain a state-of-the-art machine shop, we have
removed the process bottle-neck by using a small group of highly qualified fabrication suppliers
within a 2 hour drive from ADC. We keep our shop for emergency machining and to maintain
the skill which is necessary to construct complex mechanical machines. Below and on the
following pages are machines in which ADC utilizes at local machine shops.

Examples of Manufacturing Jobs
Cavity Parts for Spallation Neutron Source
ADC fabricated 24 sets of the space frame and thermal shield assemblies for the U.S.
Department of Energy Spallation Neutron Source program. This work involved sheet metal
rolling, bending, ASME certified brazing operation, precision machining, ASME certified
welding, vacuum cleaning, and vacuum testing. Each system underwent complete testing and
inspection which included thermal shock, leak checking, and precise physical measurements.

Jefferson Lab 12GeV Upgrade
ADC fabricated and is assembled ten sets of C100 Cryomodule Space frame Assemblies for the
Jefferson Lab 12GeV cryomodule upgrade. The project required fabricating jigs and simple
fixtures to ensure important components are maintained to specified tolerances. This work
involved; precision machining, ASME certified welding, and vacuum cleaning.
Each space frame has a 13 page test report provide to JLab detailing dimensions and welding.
Travellers are provided on each space frame. Each space frame is verified by a third party
source.

H-Steel for Jefferson Laboratories Magnet Upgrades
ADC fabricated all of the H-Steel for Jefferson Laboratories 12GeV Upgrade dipole magnets.
This work contained various sizes of A1006 steel bars/plates to be used in the rebuild of the
12GeV upgrade dipole magnets. All the metals had to come from the same heat, parts then had
to be heat treated with very strict quality control, the project required precision machining with
tight tolerances and extremely tight quality control keeping track of each parts and its
history/specifications.

Secure Web-Data Storage Development and Project Communication
Online Reviewing of the Project
A secured web site is the most important part of the multiple channels needed to ensure adequate
communication among ADC personnel and the client general oversight community. ADC’s web
site (www.adc9001.com) has a location that the customer can login and review critical data that
contains sections detailing the progress and planning parts of the process for “on-demand”
review. The web site will be a searchable index of literature, design updates, FEA calculations,
progress reports, pictures, comments, and recommendations.
GoTo Meeting
ADC uses online video conferencing and real time computer screen sharing using GoTo
Meeting. GoTo Meeting is an online services division of Citrix Systems, Inc. is based in Santa
Barbara, California, with satellite offices and data centers around the world.
GoToMeeting allows ADC to host online meetings with up to 25 people – so we can do more
and travel less. Using our web conferencing tool, you can share any application on your
computer in real time. Attendees join meetings in seconds.

ADC’s IT Infrastructure and Backup System
ADC’s Server Hardware Backup System
ADC has a hi-end computer network system using the latest hi-tech equipment. This
infrastructure of computers helps ADC to continue on its path to being a leader in the array of
high-precision components and instruments.
ADC Internal Computer Network



ADC is running a Gigabit network backbone;
Each dedicated workstation is connected to a 3Com SuperStack 3 Baseline Switch,
and;
All computers at ADC are running a Windows XP or Windows 7 Operating System
or better.
Backup Synopsis
The minimization of recovery time in the event electronic files need to be restored is considered
paramount in the electronic file backup procedures at ADC.
Hardware and software comprising the electronic file backup system are to be approved by the
IT manager, and are to be installed, configured, and maintained per specifications. Only media
approved for digital data storage are used with the backup system. Recovery time from server
downtime and/or file loss, should files need to be restored.
Backup of File Server(s)
A full backup of all electronic data files is performed daily Monday through Friday each week, at
which time an end-of-the-month copy is maintained in an off-site storage area for at least five
years; the daily Monday through Friday copies are overwritten throughout the next month.
To recover space on the file server(s), or to "consolidate" data after completion of a project,
electronic data files are archived on an as-needed basis. Two copies of all data files to be
removed from the file server(s) are made. One copy is stored on-site and a second copy is stored
in an off-site storage area for at least five years.
The backup of electronic files is verified by the software to be accurate after each copy is made.
Any errors occurring during the backup are documented.
Backup of User WorkStations
All dedicated user workstations are equipped to be backed up via mirroring to a data server. The
following directories an automatically backed up every 4 hours Mon – Sat.

All Outlook email setting and folders
“My Documents” directory per user
