Assembly and Secondary Operations
Components completed for line-side use.
Welding, fastening, pleating, printing, testing and sub-assembly convert moulded parts into validated production-ready units.
Technical Scope
Joining, completion and verification in one production route.
Secondary operations are integrated around product function and the evidence required before dispatch.

Joining
Welding and staking
Hot-plate welding, ultrasonic welding and heat staking support sealed and geometrically complex assemblies.
Review manufacturingCompletion
Integrated operations
Pleating, printing, fastening and fitment operations are organised around the product programme.
Review manufacturingVerification
Checks before dispatch
Poka Yoke, counters and online leak testing verify critical operations before release.
Review validationWorking Sequence
Joining and verification complete the manufactured component.

- 01

Component interfaces and functional risks establish the completion brief. Interface review
Confirm mating geometry, joining surfaces, functional risks and release criteria.
Review engineering - 02
Fixture and control design
Define fixtures, sequence controls and mistake-proofing around the operation.
Review tooling - 03

The joining route follows interface geometry and functional requirements. Joining route
Set the hot-plate, ultrasonic, staking or fastening route required by the assembly.
- 04
Integrated operations
Complete pleating, printing, fastening, fitment or other programme operations.
- 05
In-line verification
Use Poka Yoke, counters and applicable functional checks before release.
Review validation - 06
Release and dispatch
Review completion records and transfer the approved assembly for dispatch.
