Engineering Success Stories at Quest Engineered Sales
Case Study 1: Industrial Safety Harness Manufacturer
The Challenge
An industrial safety harness manufacturer was facing problems with their existing say link, a crucial safety component. The complex assembly process involving machining, stamping, forming, and welding was proving to be inefficient.
Our Engineering Solution
Our engineering services team designed a two‑piece assembly using 17‑4 PH stainless steel. The new design was an investment cast, significantly improving the manufacturing process.
Results
The streamlined assembly resulted in a higher‑quality, stronger product that was 20% lighter and easier to handle. We achieved cost savings by eliminating several stages in the production process.
Case Study 2: Swimming Pool Entry System Manufacturer
The Challenge
A manufacturer of swimming pool entry systems was struggling with a complex, expensive production process. Their steel and fiberglass products required multiple suppliers and a challenging assembly process.
Our Engineering Solution
We used our expertise in engineering and injection molding to create the product using structural foam. All the parts were molded at once on a single machine and then packed for retail on the same line.
Results
We reduced costs by consolidating the supply chain and simplifying the manufacturing process. This also resulted in a higher-quality, more reliable product.
Case Study 3: Hydraulic Chamber
The Challenge
Creating a 10"x 16" aluminum hydraulic chamber with precise specifications.
Our Engineering Solution
Our team created this hydraulic chamber using die-cast machining and CNC machining, achieving a tolerance of ± .003 on all dimensions. The part was then dip brazed, anodized, and x‑rayed for quality assurance.
Results
Our die-cast machining process delivered a cost-effective solution with exceptional precision.
