Assembly

Assembly involves the precise joining of multiple components to create a complete, functional product. Examples include welding, adhesives, soldering, and more.

Automated Dimensional Inspection

Automated dimensional inspection utilises advanced technology to systematically measure and verify the dimensions of components.

Automated Visual Inspection

Automated visual inspection employs advanced imaging technology to detect surface defects and ensure product quality.

CNC Machining (3 & 4 Axis)

CNC machining involves using computer-controlled tools to precisely refine and shape moulded components.

Coining

Coining involves the application of high pressure to shape and imprint details onto moulded components.

Drilling

Drilling involves creating precise holes in moulded components to meet specific design requirements.

IQ Sizing

IQ sizing involves the precise adjustment of moulded parts to ensure they meet exact dimensional specifications and tolerances.

Pad Printing

Pad printing involves transferring ink from a silicone pad to the surface of moulded parts.

Reaming

Reaming involves the precise enlargement and smoothing of existing holes in moulded components.

Resonant Frequency NDT

Resonant frequency NDT (non-destructive testing) utilises vibrational analysis to detect internal flaws and integrity of parts without causing damage.

Surface Grinding

Surface grinding involves the use of abrasive wheels to achieve smooth, flat surface finishes.

Tapping

Tapping involves creating internal threads in moulded components, allowing for secure fastening and assembly.

Thermal Deburr

Thermal deburring uses controlled heat to remove sharp edges and burrs from moulded parts, resulting in smoother surfaces and improved safety.

Tumble Deburr

Tumble deburr involves placing moulded parts in a rotating barrel with abrasive media to effectively remove burrs and sharp edges.

Tumble/Vibratory Polish

Tumble/vibratory polish utilises a rotating or vibrating chamber filled with abrasive media to refine the surface finish of moulded parts.

Ultrasonic Clean

Ultrasonic cleaning employs high-frequency sound waves in a liquid solution to remove contaminants and debris from moulded parts.
