Customer Name: Parker Hannifin
Component name: 1395 Bowl
Challenge:
The customer’s design had an internal undercut that required expensive tooling and created additional collapsible core complications. This made the tool expensive, and the customer was looking for alternate solutions.
Solution:
TPI team took a different route and manufactured a mould without any complexities. An additional step of post moulding was introduced to get the part into its required shape. This dropped the mould’s cost drastically and made the project feasible for the customer.
Result:
Parker Hannifin was impressed with the unique solution to their problem and has since then developed multiple components with TPI over the years.
