Vital knowledge and experience
Risk analysis plays an ever increasing part in providing quotations to our customers. From experience we first identify the ideal tooling / machine combination to produce the components.
Then physical characteristics of the material also play a part in deciding which route to follow and may well dictate a change of press and possibly tooling in the final analysis. Having used such a wide variety of materials in the past, we are able to readily identify the differences that can occur even within the same family of materials. The elasticity, shear resistance and shore hardness of the material can all influence the method of manufacture and also the quality and price of the product.
