Special requirements? Our experts at your service
• Assembly line support by our staff ARaymond offers you the service of assembly line-walks. During the walks, our experts closely observe your assembly or production lines in order to help you choose the fastening system best-suited to your requirements, optimize your manufacturing process and reduce the number of references used in your products. Our experts’ prime concern is to improve your productivity. With our expertise in metal and plastic parts manufacturing, we can design and produce custom parts, in three steps: - Preparation of the mock-up (1 to 3 units) We prepare a mock-up, without surface treatment, to define the geometry of the part. Mock-ups of metal parts are made manually. Plastic part mock-ups are produced by 3D printing or sintering (production of plastic components by polymerization). - Development of a prototype (100 to 500 units) In the prototyping phase, up to 500 standard parts are made. Metal parts are produced on a bending machine simpler than the machines used for batch production. For plastic parts, we inject the plastic into a soft metal mould. - Release of batch production After the part is validated, the final mould, made of steel, is fabricated and we release batch production on our series production machines. Using this method, we have produced mock-ups for parts to fasten bicycle mudguards and even light fittings.
