William Hughes, manufacturer of
springs, bent wire-forms and
assemblies, continues to expand its
product manufacturing capabilities
and can now form compression
springs in wire sizes up to 8mm dia.
and torsion springs in wire up to 6mm dia followng significant investment in new machinery at its sites in the UK and Bulgaria.
A new coiling machine at the Dorset factory means William Hughes can now supply heavier duty compression springs using 5mm to 8mm dia. wire. These are typically used as return valves in products such as hydraulic valves. A new machine in Bulgaria has the capacity for torsion springs to 6mm dia.
These are used in the automotive industry and have applications in products such as chain tensioners.
New processes offered by the company include steel and glass shot peening, ultrasonic cleaning and tensile testing to very high standards.
