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.

Hot-plate welding equipment used for controlled component joining.
Joining equipment supports defined interfaces and sealed assemblies.
01

Joining

Welding and staking

Hot-plate welding, ultrasonic welding and heat staking support sealed and geometrically complex assemblies.

Review manufacturing
02

Completion

Integrated operations

Pleating, printing, fastening and fitment operations are organised around the product programme.

03

Verification

Checks before dispatch

Poka Yoke, counters and online leak testing verify critical operations before release.

Review validation

Working Sequence

Joining and verification complete the manufactured component.

Industrial 3D scanner used to review component interfaces.
Component interfaces and functional risks establish the completion brief.
