One of the premier pet collar and leash manufacturers in North America was unable to find a supplier who could weld to his pull test requirements 100%. The company wanted welded D-rings with very specific pull test requirements ranging from 900 lbs to 1500 lbs with a near 0% failure rate.

The imported product they were receiving was very inconsistent, with pull test failure rates approaching 20% on some lots. By nature, the pull test deforms the product and, in fact, exceeds the tensile strength of the wire.

Philip machine re-designed our welding machines with specialized cooling units to ensure consistently strong welds and allow for very high production rates, resulting in an exceptionally strong and economical welded D-ring. We added SPC pull testing during the entire production process and satisfied all the customer's requirements.

Philip Machine recently designed and produced all the racks required to finish Craftsman's 80th Anniversary Mechanic's Tool Set, which is featured in the new Sears Tool Catalog.

This series of tools is now offered in a titanium blue and a sunlit topaz titanium finish. The finish is achieved through a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that involves the vaporization of titanium material from a solid surface. Titanium material is transported through a proprietary low-pressure gaseous environment and deposited on the tools as a thin, firmly bonded, brilliantly colored finish. Each tool must be individually held securely on racks as they are moved through the vapor deposition chambers.

An additional challenge was presented because 2.5 million tools had to be processed prior to the all-important Father's Day sales season. Philip Machine successfully designed, produced and delivered all the racks necessary to meet this production quota in the month of February.

Recently, Philip Machine was approached by a premier international manufacturer of bottling and case packing machinery. They had a requirement for a series of welded D-rings and welded round rings to be produced in both round and half round stainless steel wire. The project entailed new tooling for six different d-rings and round rings manufactured to exact customer specifications. Their previous supplier not only had a high rejection rate on the parts that they had been furnishing, but they were also ceasing operations, leaving our new customer in jeopardy of shutting down production.

Philip Machine was in a unique position to help. Due to our in-house ability to roll and shape standard round stainless steel wire to our customer's half round dimensions, we did not have to shop or wait for raw material. Within two weeks we were able to tool up and supply pre-production samples on two of their most critical needs. Our welded d-rings and welded round rings passed all QC testing with "flying colors," dimensionally as well as for pull test strength and finish quality.

Tooling for all six items and initial shipments were complete within six weeks.
