Breaking the mold
Many in the composites industry know that Janicki Industries
introduced computer numerical control (CNC)-machined tooling to the
marine industry and that it specializes in large, technically complex
composite tools. But on a recent tour of its facilities, HPC discovered
that this is only the top ply of an intriguing stack of layers. A
composite of extreme aerospace precision and marine/small business
pragmatism, this shop routinely achieves feats few have considered, such
as vacuum infusing a 300-ply carbon fiber-bismaleimide (BMI) laminate —
BMI is solid at room temperature — with near-zero void content. “This
is where we want to go with high-temperature tooling for the large
structures being considered in aerospace,” explains project manager Matt
Robson.
The family-owned Sedro-Woolley, Wash.-based company is intensely entrepreneurial. Its employees describe it as performance-driven and constantly changing, and say the owners have a high tolerance for risk and little fear of failure. “If we haven’t thrown anything away in awhile,” quips one manager, “Peter [CEO] will challenge that we’re not pushing boundaries enough.”
Janicki is also a study in contrasts. As a pioneer in cost accounting for one-off projects, the company employs a robust software program (one project has more than 5,000 line items) to track work orders, schedules and costs in real time, but it is not bogged down by bureaucracy. In fact, management encourages employees to pursue novel ideas and gives new hires an almost immediate opportunity to make an impact.
Further, its CNC machines are among the most accurate in the world, but the company continues efforts to reduce error. This quest for precision has yielded remarkable technological advances in tooling and, now, in parts production.
“Our approach to marine tooling using CNC machining really started a revolution in the industry,” says Jim Payant, Janicki’s VP of marine, transportation and energy. “Now it is considered standard, but when we started, no one had heard of it.” Peter reportedly machined the first hull pattern for Bayliner (Bellingham, Wash.) in one week. Previously, the same hull might have consumed months of manual labor. CNC machining also enabled him to push the boundaries of scale. Janicki was machining 80-ft/24.4m hull molds long before anyone else thought it was possible.
Since then, Janicki has designed, fabricated, built and installed eight more CNC machines, and the company also has written its own control software. Payant relates, “When you move a big heavy machine (weight of a Chevy Suburban) quickly, inertia requires you to start slowing it way ahead of when you want to turn. When Peter built that first machine, the available controllers could look ahead 14 points, but he wanted 2,000 points. So, being a mechanical engineer, he wrote a program that took the cutter location instructions, translated them into machine code and did the inertia calculations to enable precise maneuvering.” A dedicated team still builds on Peter’s early work. “We have a Ph.D in mechanical engineering who oversees this group now,” says Payant.
CNC mill operations manager Eric Friesen claims that accuracy is what differentiates Janicki. “Despite the many CNC mill compensation systems available in the industry, we continue to write our own,” he points out. “The compensation systems you can buy simply do not work well on mills of this size and complexity.” Those systems assume certain mechanical accuracies in the machine, but Janicki prefers to measure and account for possible error instead. Friesen credits this attention to detail to Dr. John Weller, who runs the Automation and Mechatronics department at Janicki Industries. “He and his team of engineers have translated a 5-axis CNC mill into a huge mathematical problem, and then developed proprietary software to solve it with four- and five-decimal-place accuracy.” More information about the program is available on the web site at www.careel-tech.com.

Lima’s first black police officer finally gets grave marker
Almost 100 years after his death, Lima’s first black police officer finally has a grave marker.
And he has another Lima police officer to thank, Jeff Jacomet, not to mention a local gun collector’s group, a cemetery and a funeral home.
The grave marker for William A. Jackson was set in place at Woodlawn Cemetery to mark the site of Jackson’s grave, which previously was unmarked.
“After 93 years, it’s finally nice to get him a gravestone,” Jacomet said.
And the gravestone was not the run-of-the-mill marker. It’s an elaborate, laser-engraved marker with Jackson’s portrait in uniform, a Lima Police Department badge with No. 1 on it and wording indicating he was the state’s first black officer.
Seeing the grave maker in place is one of the highlights of Jacomet’s career knowing he played a big role in that.
“It’s always going to be a bright spot in my career,” Jacomet said. “In law enforcement, it’s sometimes hard to get gratification out of your job because we always see people at their worst.”
Jackson’s unmarked grave was discovered earlier this year when Jacomet was digging through documents while preparing for the Lima Police Department’s 125th anniversary celebration.
While digging, he discovered Jackson was hired in 1891.
Jackson’s history was intriguing to Jacomet considering the man was born before the Civil War began and lived during a time blacks struggled daily and were even lynched in other cities.
Curiosity kept Jacomet digging. At one point, he thought it was possible Jackson may have been the nation’s first black officer. But his search led him to the New York City Police Department, which claims it hired the nation’s first black officer in 1891, the same year Lima hired Jackson.
Jacomet discovered Jackson was hired in late December, making it likely NYPD hired the first black officer but he never found out for sure because the NYPD Museum never returned his call.
During his investigation, Jacomet ended up at Jackson’s grave, or at least searching for it inside Woodlawn Cemetery. After struggling to find it, he discovered there was no marker.
That did not sit well, especially from one cop to another because officers look out for each other, even if they never knew each other.
“I thought this isn’t going to work. He has to have something,” Jacomet said.
Jacomet contacted Tri State Gun Collectors, which donated $400. Woodlawn Cemetery agreed to pay for the base the marker sits on.
Officials at Jones-Clark Funeral Home wanted to take it a step further. They suggested a laser-engraved portrait of Jackson on the marker and offered to pay for it. While that would take longer, Jacomet knew it would be worth it.
“It couldn’t have been better,” he said.
Jacomet also tried to find surviving members of Jackson’s family but had no luck. Still, just getting a grave marker for a long-forgotten officer that honors his service to the city and the history he made was a proud moment for Jacomet. It also will ensure one of his police brothers is never forgotten.
