Setting the Standard in Long Run Precision Metal Stamping
Since 1962, Thomas Engineering Company has led the way in long run micro-miniature and medium size stampings. From the simple to the “impossible”, their skilled employees use the most advanced production equipment and techniques to assure you of unsurpassed TEC quality and delivery.
Creative Engineering and Design Assistance
TEC offers complete engineering and design assistance. Their expertise and equipment, like their CAD systems, assure customers of maximum production efficiency and part performance. Using CAD, intricate die designs are created with total accuracy. Lead times and designs costs are dramatically reduced. TEC is known for ingenuity and originality in precision metal stamping. They are the leader in thin-slotting, and regularly pierce slots that are less than ½ the material thickness.
Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance is an integral part of every phase of their operation, from the highest grade incoming raw material to finished parts. TEC uses a number of sophisticated Quality Assurance procedures, including statistical process control, so you can be assured of receiving only quality parts. Their View Engineering Voyager Non-Contact Programmable Vision Measuring System greatly enhances their inspection capabilities. The system significantly reduces inspection time, eliminates human error and makes statistical data available in minutes. It can also generate graphs and charts for faster plotting. In-die sensors and vision systems are also utilized to ensure quality.
Managing Total Quality (MTQ)
MTQ focuses on the process and benefits of continual organizational improvement. To achieve continuous customer satisfaction in the face of constantly changing customer needs, MTQ utilizes a system of problem solving, enhanced communications, and specific, high visibility improvement projects to create continuous adaptations of systems and procedures. MTQ is a management style, a mode of behavior, an attitude - a cultural element that is deeply ingrained in all TEC employees.
Precision Parts for Customers Worldwide
TEC precision stamped parts are shipped throughout much of the world to be used in electronic components, appliances, copying machines, telecommunications equipment, satellites, medical devices, automobiles, and missiles. Their service to you ensures delivering the highest quality precision stampings possible!
Medical Equipment & Device Stampings
Medical equipment and devices requires quality, reliable, high precision parts. TEC engineers can work with you from early concept and design stages to clinical testing and finished product. From part and tooling design and alloy selection to production runs TEC engineers will work with you to ensure the highest quality close tolerance parts are delivered on time.
Rapid Prototypes
TEC can rapid prototype and short run your new design stampings for testing and product prototypes in just days. They will work from your CAD drawings, prints, specifications and sketches and run from 1 to 2000 parts with material thickness from +/- .003” to .125” and tolerance to X&Y +/- 0.0005”, Z +/- .0004”.
Secondary Operations
Use TEC for secondary operations including: deburring, in-die welding, spot welding, in-die tapping, off line tapping, heat treating, plating & finishing, part and sub assemblies, packaging and tape and reel packaging to deliver finished parts that will integrate right into your product assembly operations. |
