Manufacturing details
How this range is made
- Eyelets, bushes and threaded fittings moulded in
- One finished part instead of a secondary assembly step
- Insert located by the tool for repeatable position
- Suited to fixing points and load-bearing features
| Manufacturing method | Insert moulding on vertical machines with a rotary table: the metal insert is placed in the tool and the polymer moulded around it. |
|---|---|
| Material | Chosen from the engineering polymers we process (PA6, PA66, POM, ABS, PC, PBT and PP) to suit the application. Confirmed against your specification. |
| Tooling | Designed and built in our toolroom; maintained in-house |
| Customisation | Made to your drawing: dimensions, material and colour as specified |
| Inspection | First-article, in-process and pre-dispatch checks against the drawing |
