Complete Sub Assemblies
Complete custom assemblies built to customer specifications.
These sub-assemblies were built for specific and unique purposes, based on customer needs.
Read on to see a few examples of unique assemblies we have already provided, and also to get an idea of how we may help you with unique builds or assemblies.
Protein Synthesis Pump for Drug Development
A customer required both vacuum and pressure in order to run their tool properly. This requires two pumps, which is not only costly but also the requires space and resources to run both pumps. That’s where the Gast RAA pump came in – The base model features two heads and can be configured to provide vacuum or pressure for different applications. However, the heads are lacking in available ports. Fortunately, an older model of the pump featured heads with six usable ports.
With some reconfiguring and reshuffling, we were able to modify the newer pump model with the older heads, as well as configure each head to operate independently of each other.
This means the customer was able to use one head for pressure and the other for vacuum, all while utilizing a singular motor and eliminating the need for a second pump.
Compressor System for Buses
A customer required a compressor system for buses. This system originally included more than forty different parts. Initially, they purchased a handful of the main components from Brenner-Fiedler, and then the rest of the parts from other vendors. They performed final tests and inspections in-house to ensure the assembly met their specifications.
We offered to cut out the complications and offer a complete solution. Fully assembled, fully tested, all before it even ships. Instead of the customer having to juggle fourteen POs that all had different tracking information, they only had the one. Instead of the customer having to set aside their own labor time to assemble the build, they received the completed assembly. Finally – instead of having to test and possibly reject assemblies due to failure, the customer could rest assured their assembly was functional since we tested it for them prior to shipping.
Panel Assembly
A customer purchased slides for their conveyor belts. Each individual slide required the proper valuing and pressure in order to operate successfully. The customer requested a complete unit that would interface with their conveyor belts in a way that both simplified their usage and looked professional.
We purchased a blank mounting plate. This mounting plate was cut according to the customer’s design specifications before being colored to their corporate color scheme. Once cut and colored, the plate was then labelled. We purchased all the required hardware components and mounted them onto the plate. The result: a professional modular unit that does the job of forty individual components. The customer received this build as a ready-to-mount value package.
Simplification of Many Parts
A customer had an assembly they wished to build. It required a variety of valves and fittings as well as a regulator, and when combined, the customer was ordering thirteen individual SKUs from four different vendors. This meant separate purchase orders, multiple lines of inventory to track, different contacts to follow up with, and different spots to store the components in their warehouse. They were dealing with lead time issues with different vendors. When it was time to build the assembly, they had to pull each component individually.
The customer was searching for a way to reduce these frustrations and lower the hours required to build the assembly. We were able to craft a solution that mounted all the components into one unit. With this solution, there is only one part number, simplified purchasing requirements, and a lot of freed up warehouse space. By using this sub-assembly, the customer was able to concentrate more on their core business instead of keeping track of all the moving parts.
Kitting/Sub-Assembly for Machine Manufacturing
A customer required a kit of around sixty components. As we assembled them, we realized the customer would still be assembling many of the components at their own facility. We worked with the customer and identified which parts could be assembled into smaller sub-assemblies that would then make up the main kit.
The result was a kit with a single part number that contained multiple sub-assemblies alongside the individual parts that were used to assemble the final product. This helped the customer save time and money since there was less assembly work for them to do.
