Following a 12-month period of
investment in new technology,
processes and training, spring, bent
wire form and assembly manufacturer
William Hughes has gained Nadcap
accreditation for its heat treatement
facility, one of just a handful of
companies in the UK to achieve this.
The company procured a new industrial oven. As part of gaining Nadcap accreditation, the oven is subject to rigorous temperature uniformity surveys to ensure a tolerance of ±5°C can be maintained over a range from 300-750°C.
William Hughes has also invested in a Zwick tensile testing machine and software. This has been audited for room temperature tensile testing and accreditation achieved.
