Latest News UNICUT GOES CLEAN TO MEET NEW CONTRACT STANDARDS Go back As part of the expansion of its production facilities at Welwyn Garden City, which now incorporates sub assembly to complement its machining capability involving high precision components, Unicut Precision has established a clean room area within the shopfloor. Said joint managing director Charles Kenny: “We have had several requests from customers to supply complete assemblies involving in-house machined parts and bought-out items so we decided to create a separate clean room area to reduce any likelihood of contamination and ensure quality levels can be maintained.” The room, which is lit by 1000 Lux lighting, is adjacent to the quality and inspection centre, which incorporates non-contact 3-D video inspection technology to provide fast and accurate measuring information and is also able to automatically compile SPC data. As part of the quality strategy under quality manager Colin Luke, any components passing into the clean room are processed through a closed-loop, high performance Dürr Minio 85C programmable component wash that incorporates vapour degreasing, vacuum drying and ultrasonics in the cycles available. Said Mr Luke: “We are now undertaking the production of critical components for the medical, defence automotive related and hydraulic sectors where total attention to detail is vital to meet customer performance specifications.”
