A valve manufacturer was in immediate need of Swiss machining of a stainless steel valve stem. The valve stem was to be used within a valve assembly system used for pressure management. This valve stem needed to be produced on a rush basis. We worked closely with the customer on all aspects of design, tooling was ordered, and production scheduled all within two days.
Within seven working days of the original order, we produced and delivered 11,000 pieces to our client in South Carolina. We made deliveries of 2,000-3,000 per batch to keep the customer’s assembly line up and running, while ensuring they met their deadline. They were thrilled with the product and our turnaround time.
Production processes included rough and finish turning, threading, knurling, grooving, drilling, and boring. The part was made of 303 stainless steel, and measured 1.470” long, with an O.D. of Ø.375”, and tolerances of ±.0005”.
