A leading manufacturer and installer of canopies and fascia systems contacted our company requesting a two piece assembly of a four inch extension spring and a 3.75 inch wire form part. As a cost saving measure, Industrial Spring suggested that the client combine the two parts into one spring with extended hooks. This solution would eliminate the need for the wire form part. This one change to the construction saved this customer $.032 per part on a 50,000 piece order. It also meant that the client no longer had to track inventory for two separate parts.

Industrial Spring was contacted by a client in the food industry when they needed a redesign on a series of fillet pins, used to hold bacon wrapped around a fillet mignon during food preparation. Manufactured by a competitor from 302 stainless steel measuring .062 inches in diameter, our clients were unhappy with the dimensions of the original pin. Consequently, we reconstructed the pin from .049 inch stainless steel wire, lowering the piece weight from .002661 to .001696 pounds. Though this change seems small, the client subsequently ordered 300,000 pieces, saving approximately 290 pounds of material cost with each run.

A major client requested assistance regarding improved reliability of a door latch assembly which used a torsion spring. Through investigation we found the original design of the assembly required the torsion spring legs to rotate in a direction that caused the spring outside diameter to open rather than close which is the preferred directional movement of a torsion spring. We recommended a spring design change which our client adopted that resulted in the legs closing the spring OD rather than opening it. Our clients performance issue was immediately improved without any costly changes to their assembly.
