A manufacturer required a new part for a high-speed microwave switch. The part was similar to previous parts that Perry Tool and Research had manufactured for them with very good results. As initially designed, however, this new part would require some very expensive tooling and the reliability would be less than 100%.
To eliminate the need for costly tooling, Perry Tool suggested leveraging one of the manufacturer's current parts to create a three-piece assembly. New tooling would only be required for a flat plate and an assembly fixture. The manufacturer was also able to leverage two other sub assemblies already in their inventory for additional savings.
At Perry Tool & Research, we are very aware of the cost of manufacturing in today's economy. When we are brought in on the design of a part, we assist your design team by making suggestions that can reduce manufacturing costs and improve the function of the part.
Our goal is to assist our customers in designing a part that meets their exact requirements and at the same time eliminates any unnecessary cost. We have helped our customers reduce manufacturing costs by combining several functions into one part, saving on component and assembly costs; eliminating extra material in a part saving on raw material costs; and reducing the weight of a part, saving on shipping costs.
Perry Tool & Research specializes in precision gears, pulleys, bearings, cams, sprockets, levers, fasteners, brackets, soft magnetics and many other complex, multi-level close tolerance parts. Our Quality Assurance System is designed to ensure your parts will be manufactured with zero defects.
