Cost is the key driver for components in the commercial aircraft industry. Not just the cost to procure the component, but the total cost of ownership. Reliability is a key cost driver for these criteria. The key to aircraft efficiency is to minimize fuel burn.

AUSCO has been actively helping our customers to support legacy parts on out of production aircraft. Whether it is a build to print part or one that requires reverse engineering, let us help you with your obsolete products.

Founded by an Engineer dedicated exclusively to solving the most challenging fluid control problems for decades, Engineering has been, and always will remain, a core competency for AUSCO. We continually emphasize the hire and training of top level Engineers to provide exceptional support to our customers and their projects from concept to maturity.

AUSCO maintains near vertical integration, performing all machining, assembly and production testing in-house. Outside sourcing is limited to special processing and simple commodity items. AUSCO is on Lean Journey striving to offer our customers the highest valued products possible. AUSCO's Manufacturing group works in close concert with Engineering from early design planning through prototype, qualification, and full rate manufacturing.

Because we work with many of our customers over an extended period of time helping them design a custom product that meets their exact specifications, we have established a formal program lifecycle managment process that tracks and manages a program from early inception through release to manufacturing.

Continuous process improvement, product integrity, and customer satisfaction are the key areas of focus of the Ausco Quality Management System. As a registered ISO9001: 2015 / AS9100:2016 organization, Ausco's QMS encompasses all phases of product activity, including design, fabrication, assembly and test, final inspection, delivery and service.

One thing that distinguishes AUSCO from many of our competitors is our proprietary process to work cooperatively with our customers in designing and delivering quality products that meet our customers' needs. Occasionally our customer have an exact drawing of what they need.

AUSCO standard products offer a unique combination of miniature fluid control technology over a wide range range of packaging options: Insert, Cartridge, Manifold LRU, Line Mount, and Ring-Lock Standard options. We can offer significant value by addressing either Cost Effective Equivalent Solutions (same Form, Fit, and Function as our Competitors), or more Advanced Solutions in the same envelope.

Customer requirements for most of our products are for many years and include initial design prototype, production quantities, and follow-on spare parts that are needed by our customers and/or third party repair companies. In order to support these spare requirements, Ausco is careful to maintain drawings, test fixtures, assembly tooling, CNC programs, and tooling to make these products - often for decades.

In modern aircraft, some of the places that hydraulics come into play include primary flight controls, flap/slat drives, landing gear, nose wheel steering, thrust vectoring systems, flaperons, cargo doors and emergency hydraulic-driven electrical generators. Military aircraft also use hydraulics on gun drives, weapons-bay doors, and hydraulic-motor-driven components because of the power density of hydraulics.

Key elements of many of our programs involve a variety of testing activities, including the following: We work in concert with our customers and their requirements define specific test requirements in an Assembly Test Plan (ATP) and to test 100% of production units to confirm that each valve, valve assembly, or manifold meets the ATP for that product.

AUSCO can offer value added manifold solutions combining our Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) valves and/or customized Build to Specification fluid control products into a custom manifold design to meet our customer's requirements. By combining best of class components and 5-axis machining, we maximize the performance for our customers.
