CUSTOM TOOLING DESIGN:
LEM
can give a better cost per piece then our competitors because of our
ability to design and build tooling and fixture to make inspection time
quicker. At the same time increasing the quality of our inspections.
CASE STUDIES:
PROBLEM:
LEM
was kit packaging part for a company using counting scales to get
quantity. The parts were not of consistent weight so we had to put in
extra pieces to ensure the customer would get the count. The company was
losing an estimated $86,000 a year in overshiping.
OUR SOLUTION: LEM recognized the savings potential and in turn we designed and built a
fixture to control this and give an accurate count every time. A company
had an intricately shaped bracket that another sorting company was
inspecting. They were missing a lot of bad parts so the job was sent to
LEM. The inspection required visual inspection of 6 areas on the part.
LEM designed and built a fixture with proximity switches which made the
inspection easier in a controlled situation
