Process Development Capabilities
Leverage our nearly 60 years of process and equipment design knowledge
Tell us your goals for a new or existing product, and we’ll help you select the process and develop the parameters to reach them. Our in-house collection of robotic machines enables us to explore various methods and repeat the results for demonstration. We’ll also look at multiple fixturing methods to minimize part-handling steps and reduce production cycle times. Our final report will detail our various tests, the tradeoffs discovered, and the final parameters that achieved the goal.
- Free initial discovery service benefits both Progressive Surface and the customer
- Progressive estimates cycle times and suggests machine configurations to achieve throughput
- Recommends materials to resist wear in harsh process environments
- Provides considerations for manual and automated part loading and unloading
