Custom Manufacturing
We give customers what they need, not what we want to sell. We don’t force our customers to purchase from a list of existing products.
Because we provide custom parts, we consider customers’ designs confidential whether we sign NDO’s or not.
All tools are for the exclusive use of the customer for whom they were produced. We never use tooling for others without permission. Part and tooling information is never shared.

Engineering Support
Long experience with:
Design for Manufacturability
CAD/CAM (Pro/ENGINEER) Link to Pro/ENGINEER Website
Tooling creation using CAD for maximum accuracy and fast turn-around
Statistical Process Control
“6 Sigma” Concepts & Applications.
Prototyping

Materials Specifications & Support
Compound recipes are almost never specified in our industry, so we advocate generic material descriptions, i.e, ASTM D2000 / SAE J200 .

These well-known callout systems provide minimum requirements compounds must meet.

We’ll be happy to provide examples!


Delivery Support

CAD data
Digital Images of all types
Specifications
EDI Pricing information
EDI for rapidly-changing scheduling information
Inspection data to speed new-product cycle time.

Simple Compression Mold for O Rings
Uncured material is placed between mold plates
The mold is closed, material cures
The cured material is removed, the cycle begins again.
