The 11-stage progression tool has been proven to deliver both parts successfully , with the firm ’ s wire erosion capabilities producing an accurate tooling insert that fits like a jigsaw to create the different circular and hex-shaped holes .
Repeatable quality has been outstanding and stringent lead times have been met on the initial orders allowing Matrix Seating to fulfil current orders .
Dr Steve Cousins , who spent 19 years at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability before founding the company , continued : “ This is the fourth generation of locking clamp that holds our unique structure together and I believe we ’ ve found the long-term solution .
“ Our manufacturing is all completed in the UK and Source Engineering is a very welcome addition to our supply chain , understanding the potential of our product and going above and beyond to deliver parts that have come through a tough engineering challenge .
“ What was especially impressive was the ability to create parts that have a sharp edge in just the right place , so they dig into the nylon ball in the middle of the module . This was very technical and had to serve its main role , as well as not being exposed to the user of the chair .”
Our manufacturing is all completed in the UK and Source Engineering is a very welcome addition to our supply chain .
He concluded : “ We feel that we finally have the right locking clamp and look forward to moving forward with Pablo and his team .” Source Engineering , which is approaching 30 years in business in 2021 , employs 32 people across its two divisions on the Langage Business Park .
Investment in a new high speed press line from Bruderer UK has given it additional capacity to secure reshoring contracts from abroad and support its desire to increase annual sales by 20 % over the next twelve months .
