Customers do not always come to us with a finished drawing or clearly defined product. Often, they have a problem affecting an existing production line and need help developing a practical solution.
Understanding the problem
Products may be falling from a conveyor, bunching together or failing to move correctly between different stages of production. In other cases, unnecessary waste may be affecting efficiency.
The first step is to understand exactly what is happening, the space available and how the surrounding equipment operates. We may work from a sketch or take measurements on site . We may also discuss the problem directly with the people using the machinery every day.
Developing a practical solution
Once the issue has been identified, we can develop a solution that works with the existing process. For example we may manufacturing a chute, guide, guard, bracket or another bespoke component. This can help control product flow, reduce waste and make the equipment easier to operate and maintain.
Material selection is also important. We choose stainless steel, mild steel or aluminium based on the environment and application. We also consider hygiene, durability and ease of cleaning.
From fabrication to installation
Our in-house capabilities include CNC plasma cutting, machining, forming and welding. This allows us to manufacture manufacture both straightforward components and more complex fabricated assemblies.
Where required, we can also carry out installation and make final adjustments on site. This ensures the finished component works correctly within the existing production line.
Built around the application
Bespoke fabrication is not always about producing something from a completed drawing. Sometimes it begins with a practical problem and a conversation.
We combine workshop experience with an understanding of the application. This helps us turn an initial idea into a durable, workable fabrication solution.
