We offer a full range of product development activities, from technical advice through prototyping to volume production. Our experienced team of engineers will work with you to ensure that your concepts can be manufactured efficiently and our in-house tool making and component manufacturing capabilities mean we can support your requirements from prototype to production volumes. One piece of equipment that is vital to Product Development is our GOM scanner. This equipment can quickly compare a part against cad data. It is also very useful as it can scan tooling inserts after CNC milling / eroding to highlight any differences to cad. This page shows a few of the recent projects we have been involved with: Connector for Fuel Pump Description: BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) Specific pump designed to cope with dirty fuel. Method: Pre-mould and over-mould of a copper terminal using approved suppliers for priming and potting operations. Each part is then 100% leak tested at Labone. Oil Level and Pressure Sensor Connector Description: Over-moulded cable assembly to carry oil sensor signals from within the aggressive environment of the engine oil pan to the vehicle wiring loom whilst maintaining sump integrity. Method: Two stage moulding using a specialist sealing material and a compatible overmould material to ensure full air-tight overmoulding and resistance to hot engine fluids. Process utilises solid terminal pins pressed and assembled by us with a final potting operation which is 100% leak tested on site.
