This video demonstrates the use of a Sorting Bridge in our QA Department.
A Sorting Bridge allows the user to separate mixed batches if items with equivalent dimensions but differing material types become mixed.
If the material of the sample matches the test piece, a sinusoidal waveform is produced. If the material of the sample does not match the test piece, the waveform is inconsistent.
A Wigan Borough Council photographer visited our premises on Monday 9th January and took plenty of good manufacturing shots for a new eCommerce Framework brochure.
We are delighted to help the local economy.
There was a good level of interest in our manufactured bolts at this important exhibition for the On & Off Shore Wind Industry.
Many visitors were pleased to learn that certain sectors of the bolt manufacturing industry are still able to flourish in the UK.
Our special bolt production capability will be displayed on stand 320 at the Renewable UK 2011 exhibition at the Manchester Central Convention Complex from 25th to 27th of October.
Our stand is hosted by Envirolink North West.
Our recently acquired Spectromax metal analyser is now operational.
We are now able to analyse many material types including Carbon, Alloy, Stainless Steel & Aluminium.
Obviously, the chemical composition of the raw material that is used to produce a fastener is all important.
We are one of the few fastener companies who have an in house capability to undertake material analysis.
This Spectromax analyser will be an important addition to the equipment in our Quality department.
