Many of our customer applications require the development of new innovative materials. Fenner Precision's Winfield Polyurethane Rollers Division maintains a well-equipped in-house laboratory and chemical engineering staff to respond quickly to these needs.
At Fenner Precision we take great pride in working with our customers to develop new products so they can continue to meet their customers' goals. We listen to our customers to define their needs and prioritize the materials and dimensions required. We then select materials from our database of ready compounds or develop a new material before beginning the prototype development of the new product. Our product engineers tackle the mold design and determine the tooling that is required to supply a new finished product in the most efficient manner. Prototypes can be turned around very quickly using our laboratory automated metering mix machine and various statistical experimental design methods (D.O.E.), such as Taguchi, Yates, CCD, S/N Ratio Calculations, Analysis of Variance, Regression Analysis, Tolerance Analysis and Loss Function, to find the production process settings that will deliver a repeatable high yield process. Our customers often conduct lab and/or field trials with our prototype parts. Based on the feedback received, we then modify the compound and/or design as needed to ensure a successful production process.
The end result is an innovative, cost-effective solution ready to be quickly put to work in a full production setting.
