A new and innovative prototyping and prove out service now being offered by Coventry-based Hyfore Engineering is being used by a range of manufacturers who will benefit from the integration of skills and processes coupled with cost savings for product.
The key to the success story has been the all-important integration of skills and design and manufacturing services which lead to savings and efficiencies down the line.
Hyfore is working on a project that will ultimately involve manufacturing over 120 fixtures. All are being proven out in Coventry where Hyfore has designed the prove-out tooling, is undertaking the prototype manufacturing and has written all of the machining programmes. Once signed off by the customer these will be transferred into the production environment saving significant cost and being delivered in a near ready-to-machine process.
To upgrade its manufacturing and inspection to accommodate the volumes of new work, Hyfore has purchased 2 Quaser VMC’s – an MV 235 and MV 184 – from the Capital Equipment Division of its parent ETG and also has a new Mitutoyo Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM).
