Medical company required a hollow rod to have two sides bent and flatten while an end lip was bent backwards to 70° degrees
The Issue
As the rod was hollow all trials to bend the material were uncontrollable and each measured component had a different reading, as this is a piece of medical equipment it had to be 100% precise every time
Process and Conclusion
- A drawing was sent into our design team who produced a solution
- A small sample tool was made which hit all the criteria
- Samples of the rod were sent back to the customer, along with video/pictures
- Customer signed off the samples
- We produced the full tool, this was sent to the medical companies fabricators
- We sent videos of how to use the tool and written information
- We spoke to the operator and offered set up advise
- Items were made within tolerance
