Industrial Spring Manufacturing Process
The spring manufacturing and design process starts with you, the customer. Once a Request for Quote (RFQ) is received, along with a print or sample, we promptly work to provide a quote back to you the same day, within a few hours in most cases. RFQs are first checked to see if we can provide a part straight from our Stock Catalog.
Upon submitting a quote, we would point out any deviation at this point, examples being wire size or finish. We may also make any design recommendations, to ensure a reliable spring, as well. Once you submit a PO, the CAD drawing and Specs are reviewed to ensure a good design. All required tolerances, such as zinc plating are listed for manufacturing and then any POs for outside processing are written up.
The order is then entered into our computer, an acknowledgment is generated back to the customer, the internal order is then posted to stock raw material, we place an order for material if needed. If material is available the order is sent to the shop to either go to the coiling, handwork, or secondary department.
