Prototype and Design
Vernier Springs offer a comprehensive prototype design and manufacturing facility.
Three dedicated engineers will manufacture small quantity parts of both presswork and springs that can be built into trial units to prove off designs and modifications prior to committing to full tooling. A full tool room allows tooling to be generated in house for trial samples.
A computer checking program can verify all spring designs calculating spring forces, tolerances, stresses and finally the fatigue capability of the spring.
Further back up for design is Vernier Springs membership of the Institute of Spring Technology. This gives us access to all the latest material technology and full laboratory testing.
Fast Blank
Through new industry leading technology Vernier can offer through its sub-contract tool room rapid blank development.
The software produces flat blank profiles from 3d solid models and also highlights potential splitting or compression areas in the forming stage.
This technology coupled with the tool rooms water jet cutting facility has resulted in accurate flat computer generated blanks available during the first stages of design work, resulting in significantly improved lead-times and reduced tooling costs.
