Welcome to the Tour of our facility in Rolla  ND  ....

STEP 1 of tour , The Raw Materials

The raw products  are formed into usable pieces by a process called Injection molding.  Then the pieces are assembled to make the final product... the Direct Read Dosimeter. This takes about 5 weeks from start to finish.

There are  26 individual pieces that are fitted together to make the pocket dosimeter.  Arrow-Tech does most of its own machining in making the tools that produce the  individual pieces.
