Start-up Hospital Equipment Manufacturer Saves on Costs and Time

Warana Adaptions – a start-up company in Vic., Australia – is making Hospital Detachable Poles. Warana previously used centre punching to retain cylindrical SS tubes. In this process the customer would insert the mating parts in place and create ‘dents’ on the surfaces with a punch to create friction between the parts. It was a labor intensive and yet not 100% reliable process. Customer also used a 2-k epoxy to act as a shim between the SS tube & plastic insert – it took 24 hrs to cure. Customer was looking for improvements in overall process.
