Creare successfully delivered two pre-position tools (PPTs) to the U.S. Navy for maintaining the purchase cables used for aircraft landing on carrier decks. PPTs are used to insert the end of a Purchase Cable (PC) into a PC terminal before Creare’s Compact Swaging Machine fastens the terminal to the PC. This Spring 2023 delivery continues Creare’s proud support of the U.S. Navy’s carrier fleet by developing and producing innovative, safe, and labor-saving technology for aircraft launch and retrieval.
