Size Really Does Matter

The largest Sheeter Stacker machine manufactured to date
by Dependable System Engineering.

There has long been a debate whether size matters or not. We are here to tell you, indeed, size does matter!

As an OEM, Dependable System Engineering manufactures various sizes of Sheeter Stacker machinery to customer specifications. The end product of each machine is to produce sheets used for the manufacture of honeycomb core & composite panels for a specific industry such as aerospace, marine, military, etc.

The smallest Sheeter Stacker machine we've manufactured to date was 8"w x 24"l. Our customer used it in their test laboratory to test materials.

Our in-production manufactured Sheeter Stacker machines have varied in size according to customer need with the smallest overall dimensions being 18"w x 87"l. The largest machine we manufactured to date shown above measured 39"w (or 1m) x 170"l.

Sheeter Stacker machines are manufactured according to customer specifications to allow for their specific type of materials, size of sheeting & physical space for the machine itself as well as stacking of the finished sheets. These measurements & more are taken into consideration when Dependable System Engineering engineers & manufactures your Sheeter Stacker machine.

So you see, size really does matter - a lot.

Aerospace Applications for Aluminum Honeycomb Core Panels

Dependable System Engineering is available to assist you with your next project.

There are 3 primary points for the use of aluminum honeycomb core panels in the Aerospace Industry:

  1. They are lightweight to allow for optimization of aerodynamics.
  2. They are very strong to ensure safety of the personnel & handle the physical challenges of flight.
  3. They are heat resistant to keep the structure stable during flight & withstand the extreme fluctuations in temperatures during high speed &/or high altitude flight.

Aluminum honeycomb materials also provide these additional properties which are highly desirable in Aerospace applications:

  1. Very high strength to weight ratio (up to 30x traditional laminates)
  2. Will not absorb moisture & thus resists mold & fungal growth
  3. High resistance to heat & shear forces

As an OEM, Dependable System Engineering is the worldwide leader of honeycomb core composite structural panel machinery.  We have been working with aluminum honeycomb for over 40 years helping companies improve their quality & productivity.  Visit our website, DepSysEng.com, or call us at 941.351.6330 for additional information.

8 Reasons to Lease Capital Equipment

Honeycomb Core & Composite Panel Machinery Manufactured by Dependable System Engineering.

Business capital equipment leasing allows a company to better match its cash outflow with revenue production through the use of equipment. The process conserves valuable working capital & bank lines while being efficient, convenient & allowing for 100% financing. In general, if equipment appreciates, buy it.  If it depreciates or becomes obsolete, lease it.

Reasons to lease capital equipment include:

  1. Purchasing Power:  The process allows the company to acquire more &/or higher productive equipment.
  2. Balance Sheet Management:  The lease conserves operating capital & frees working capital & bank credit lines for inventory, expansion & emergencies. The lease preserves the company's cash flow & when properly structured, the lease is not considered an asset.
  3. 100% Financing:  Equipment leasing requires no down payment & the term of the lease can be matched with the useful life of the equipment.
  4. Asset Management:  Equipment leasing provides the use of the equipment for specific periods of time with fixed payments & assumes & manages the risk of equipment ownership.
  5. Service Additions:  Leases can be constructed to include installation, maintenance & other services, if needed.
  6. Tax Treatment:  Leasing offers the option of deducting 100% of the lease payment as an expense.  At the end of the lease, the equipment can be purchased for $1, & the equipment is already depreciated. During the first part of the lease while the equipment is being manufactured, the lease payments normally are only the interest. (See Section 179 of the US tax code)
  7. Upgrading Technology:  Leasing provides companies with the ability to keep pace with new & more effective technologies in their industry. This allows more productive manufacturing & increasing business development.
  8. Proven Financing Option:  80% of companies in the US use leasing for their equipment needs & over 40% of all capital equipment is leased.

With our banking contacts, Dependable System Engineering can refer you to start the process. Please call us at 941.351.6330 for additional help.
