Avant Mechanical Design: Gain better quality control

AS13100 Compliant

About Avant

We supply custom protective tooling for the surface engineering processes your products undergo after you manufacture them. Before you ship your parts to be serviced, we’ll integrate a reusable, form-fitting, protective mask that precisely shields and isolates essential surfaces. This ensures perfect coverage and a successful process before they even leave your facility. Together, we’ll help you gain better quality control over the process, get better lead times, and save money. We're here to help you move forward with confidence.

The Benefits

When you send your products to receive treatment, such as shot peening, usually the vendor is the one to cover the necessary surfaces. Many of them use manual taping methods or outsource custom masks. Taping introduces operator errors and inconsistencies, and outsourcing raises service costs and lengthens lead times. Such methods also cause increased scrap rates and NCRs.

By integrating our products, you…

  • effectively remove the variables of ad-hoc/unplanned masking measures from your internal risk tolerance

  • ensure consistent quality for every component

  • save time and money

  • gain a competitve edge

Component Expertise

Aerospace & Turbomachinery

  • High-Pressure Turbine (HPT) Airfoils: Precision root, platform, and fir-tree masking designed to handle rigorous shot peening environments without shifting or degrading.

  • Compressor Blades & Vanes: Form-fitting edge protection that ensures perfect boundary definition along airfoil chords and radiuses.

  • Stator Assemblies & Shrouds: Segmented or full-ring mechanical masks engineered to protect complex mating surfaces and seal slots.

Medical Devices & Implants

  • Orthopedic Joint Replacements: High-precision masking for femoral stems, acetabular cups, and tibial trays that guarantees zero-contamination of polished or porous surfaces.

  • Surgical Instrumentation: Durable, quick-snap masking tooling for localized surface texturing on high-use medical instruments.

Precision Industrial & Automotive

  • Drivetrain & Transmission Gears: Heavy-duty, reusable shielding for splines, internal bores, and bearing journals during high-velocity peening cycles.

  • Actuator & Pump Housings: Custom plug and plate masking kits designed to protect internal threads, O-ring grooves, and sealing faces efficiently.
