Manufacturing
Rantec has designed and manufactured microwave antennas, waveguides and precision hardware components for over 45 years. Our complete in-house manufacturing facility includes precision machining, punching, dip brazing, chem film, and assembly. Our ability to control the manufacturing processes assures consistent and predictable final product performance.
Machining
Rantec maintains ten high-speed CNC machine centers. The largest is capable of handling 64 by 40-inch parts. In addition to the CNC centers, an Amada CNC turret punch, a compliment of manual milling machines, lathes, and other equipment complete the metal fabrication shops. We have all the tools necessary to perform jobs from the smallest prototype to large-scale production.

Dip Brazing
Rantec is exceptionally adept and proficient with the salt bath dip brazing method for the process of joining precise aluminum alloy components. We take pride in maintaining the tight process controls necessary to ensure that intricate and delicate microwave antenna assemblies requiring dip brazing are manufactured to specification. The requirements of AWS C3.7, formerly Mil-B-7883, are met at Rantec and quality programs are maintained to ensure consistent and reliable service performance.

Rantec's brazing facilities include a 48 x 48 x 40 in. braze tank, dual preheat ovens, aging ovens and a humidity chamber. A wet lab area contains all chemical process activities, which include anti-corrosion chem. film applications appropriate to aluminum dip brazed assemblies.


Assembly
Rantec has a long history of producing antenna systems and subsystems. An experienced and well-equipped electro-mechanical assembly line is an important part of Rantec's manufacturing operation.

Soldering is performed by personnel certified to IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 specifications. Rantec has a certified trainer in-house who performs periodic training sessions.
