Wind Tower Flanges & Components

When tubular towers were first designed in the 90s, CAB's Texas facility was the "go to manufacturer" for large diameter flanges. It was a natural evolution for CAB to take the leading role in helping to transition the market from welded steel rings to seamless forged rings with much tighter tolerances, extensive product testing and increasingly strict quality requirements.

CAB has helped to transform the wind tower flange supply chain into a tightly controlled, high quality network of manufacturers capable of meeting the rapidly changing cyclical nature of the North American wind energy market.

Our engineers have deep experience in training, qualifying, and monitoring supplier factories and we take pride in our ability to dramatically reduce our customers' overall cost of quality and supply chain risk.

CAB has supplied more than 12,000 sets of wind tower flanges since 1997 and has a record of exceptional quality and delivery in the industry.

In addition to wind tower flanges, CAB can supply wind tower door frames and foundation template and embed rings welded, machined and drilled at our Nacogdoches, Texas facility. For more information or to request a quote from our highly professional team, please contact us today!

THE FOUR "D"'s

Insight into CAB's Supplier Selection Process

Supplier selection is critical to project/program success. Locating the right supplier for the job is extremely important and can avoid headaches and delays. The success of your project is #1 priority for CAB. So, how do you guarantee success?

four-1
Step 1: Determine the Needs

Are your customers shopping for lower costs? Better quality? Reduced lead times? Is it a new program launch? One of the most essential steps of supplier selection is determining the needs of the customer. It is during this phase when design requirements and expectations are communicated. This may involve details such as material grades, geometric tolerances, surface finishes, and testing/performance requirements.

four-2
Step 2: Determine the Source

Once all product requirements, quality expectations, and delivery timing has been communicated and defined. CAB will reference our Approved Supplier List ("ASL") for the best source matching your specific criteria. Our ASL consists of many ISO9001 and TS16949 certified companies that have proven success on similar projects and have long term relationships with CAB. You can rest assured that the chosen supplier has developed similar products and will be capable of meeting all criteria and expectations. Sources that have failed to be successful on agreed upon criteria are promptly removed from our ASL.

four-3
Step 3: Development

This is when CAB's value really begins to shine. Our teams are on the ground at the source and become involved daily with the development of your product. Often this is when product requirements are analyzed in greater detail and opportunities for cost savings are discovered. All of our team members have many years of experience in the industry and are familiar with the capabilities of the source factory. Our expert staff will work closely with your engineers and quality team to ensure a smooth development process.

four-4
Step 4: Delivery

Once all product requirements have been met and the development process has been completed, sample product(s) will ship for your final approval. After obtaining final approval, your product will be released for production.

CAB Incorporated is a manufacturer and distributor of pip flanges, industrial castings/forgings, and wind tower flanges. We are a Certified Women's Business Enterprise with ISO 9001:2015 certification. With over 35 years of experience in the industry, we look forward to discussing your unique needs and offering the most reliable and complete solution for your project.

Five Steps to Quality Results

icon-1
Define

During ramp up a CAB team, comprised of multiple experts, including Six Sigma certified team members, evaluates the risks involved in production of each part and develops methods to control quality during the manufacturing process. As part of the definition phase, the team works with the customer to define "Critical to Quality" (CTQ) characteristics, that have the most impact on quality and then increases control methods on those features.

icon-2
Measure

As part of Statistical Process Control (SPC) efforts, CAB measures the results of a given process and determines the normal "mean" result, providing a benchmark against which future results are measured to determine when a process may be moving toward an "out of conformance" condition.

icon-3
Analyse

In the event of a change in results away from the mean, or an out of conformance condition, the team identifies why defects are generated by identifying the key variables that are most likely to create process variation and by conducting deep root cause analysis using 5 Why and 8D type exercises

icon-4
Improve

The team confirms the key variables and quantifies their effects on the CTQs. It also identifies the maximum acceptable ranges of the key variables and validates a system for measuring deviations of the variables. The team modifies the process to stay within the acceptable range.

icon-5
Control

Tools are put in place to ensure that under the modified process the key variables remain within the maximum acceptable ranges over time in a repeatable closed loop process.
