LEAN Manufacturing Success – December 2009

Photofabrication have been training its employees in the skills and disciplines of LEAN Manufacturing. We are happy to announce that Groups 1 and 2 have successfully passed the course. Congratulations to those individuals and we look forward to seeing the continual improvements being made.

Well Done to you all.

Photofab taking on New Staff – November 2009

In these very difficult times I am very happy to welcome a new employee to the team. Bridgette will add the extra capacity we require.

We have seen a gradual increase in demand from Spring 2009, fingers crossed this continues in 2010.

Christmas is coming – September 2009

Photofab have just launched an exciting new range of Metal Christmas Tree Decorations.

Presently we have three options:

A Traditional Snowflake
A Modern Star (which can be formed)
A Cheeky Snowman

There will be additional options in the near future. Click here to find out more.

Forming on another level! – August 2009

Photofab were challenged recently with an incredibly small component which not only required precision etching but also numerous forming operations.

Photofab rose to the challenge and produced exactly what was required without making complex form tooling (and therefore keeping the costs low).

Now proved the customer is happy to pay for more complex tooling to reduce unit costs.

Laser Cutting Process Offered – July 2009

Etching through metal over 1 – 1.5mm in thickness starts to get expensive, this is where laser cutting comes into its own. With state of the art equipment and finishing facilities to remove sharp edges and burrs Photofabrication can offer high tolerance cost effective solutions.

This is a process which many existing customers and some new have asked us for; well we wouldn’t want to disappoint you. Please give us a try by emailing, faxing or posting your enquiries.

Case Study - Reverse Engineering – July 2009

PROBLEM:
Our customer had been crudely making batches of parts for use in production using their own workshop staff and equipment, which although fit for purpose they lacked tight tolerance and the in-house lead time incurred delays for the end user.

SYNOPSIS:
Our customer now has a 'sleek' solution for the future supply of this part, guaranteed tight tolerance Engineered Components.

With form tooling now in place we will be offering this customer a lead time of around 5 working days from ordering, ensuring he can keep his production supplied with parts and finished goods out the door to his customer quickly.

Customer Survey - June 2009

A big thank you to everyone who sent back the customer surveys we sent out in the last month. We were very pleased with the large number of responses and will use all constructive comments to improve the service we offer to you. The general consensus is that we are doing most things right:

The Delivery of Quotes within 24Hours
The Quality of Components
The Rapid “Next Day” Service
Technical Assistance Available

Further services were highlighted and in addition to the plating, heat treatment, forming (with in-house tool shop), paint infill, etc there were many requests for laser cutting. This I can confirm is a process we can offer, do send your enquiries in and we will get quotations to you ASAP.

Motor Laminations – From Strength to Strength! - February 2009

Photofabrication have supplied stacked and bonded laminations to high accuracy and consistency for some time now. However with a greater focus on making users aware of the process we have seen a large increase in demand. The use of a specialised resist provides both insulating properties within the stack as well as bonding capabilities. The etching process provides a burr free finish, ideal to eliminate problems during winding. The full process is available, including post stacking services such as grinding where required
Organisations are commenting on how they are “amazed” at how Photofab can supply these custom made stacks in such a short period of time at a very competitive price. Contact us for further details.


*New Year, New Challenges - January 2009*
Given the uncertain times we continue to hear about it is becoming more and more important to get value for money. At the same time not compromising the required quality and service received. Photofabrication are able to maximise your requirements by offering mixed sheets for prototypes. This means one tooling charge would cover 2, 3, 4 … variations on your design.
