Our company was contacted by a client from an industrial products distribution company to help them manufacture a large volume of five different types of compression springs for use in the plastic rotational molding industry. After discussions with this distributor, we discovered that their client was employing 75,000 of each item per release, and after only two to three hours of usage, was forced to discard the springs due to failure.
The breakdown of these products was due to the base material having an operating temperature of 250 degrees but was being used at an operating temperature of 500 to 600 degrees. Industrial Spring decided to redevelop a new series of compression springs constructed from precipitation hardening ...
With the acquisition of new coiling technology in 2006, Industrial Spring Corporation was able to more efficiency manufacture counter balance torsion springs for a custom manufacturer of roll up door systems. Prior to acquiring this equipment the torsion springs required secondary bending operations which added cost and time to the production process as the parts are heavy and awkward to handle.
With this new technology, the secondary bending operations are eliminated and the springs are produced more cost efficiently, resulting in a lower part cost to our client. This additional technology has also permitted ISC to broaden our customer base due to increased capacity on wire diameter.
A major client requested assistance regarding improved reliability of a latch assembly which used a torsion spring. Through investigation we found the original design of the assembly required the torsion spring legs to rotate in a direction that caused the spring outside diameter to open rather than close which is the preferred directional movement of a torsion spring. We recommended a spring design change which our client adopted that resulted in the legs closing the spring OD rather than opening it. Our clients performance issue was immediately improved without any costly changes to their assembly.
Meeting high client satisfaction, we manufactured torsion springs constructed from high-quality stainless steel, upholding a free ...
Industrial Spring was contacted by a client in the food industry when they needed a redesign on a series of fillet pins, used to hold bacon wrapped around a fillet mignon during food preparation. Manufactured by a competitor from 302 stainless steel measuring .062 inches in diameter, our clients were unhappy with the dimensions of the original pin. Consequently, we reconstructed the pin from .049 inch stainless steel wire, lowering the piece weight from .002661 to .001696 pounds. Though this change seems small, the client subsequently ordered 300,000 pieces, saving approximately 290 pounds of material cost with each run.
These new fillet pins worked better during application and allowed for an average cost savings of $826 with ...
In 2007, a leading manufacturer and installer of canopies and fascia systems contacted our company requesting a two piece assembly of a four inch extension spring and a 3.75 inch wire form part. As a cost saving measure, Industrial Spring suggested that the client combine the two parts into one spring with extended hooks. This solution would eliminate the need for the wire form part. This one change to the construction saved this customer $.032 per part on a 50,000 piece order. It also meant that the client no longer had to track inventory for two separate parts.
Constructed out of galvanized music wire that was .08 inches in diameter, we were able to uphold a (±) .007 inch diameter tolerance, a (±) .093 inch free length ...
