Case Study – Hart Walker UK

Local manufacturer Hart Walker UK design and produce hands-free walking devices for young people. They approached our JB Springs team regarding a specific torsion spring design for the brake system on their walkers. Subsequently, we worked with the customer and designed springs meeting their requirements. Now, our springs operate in the rear axle brake system. We tested first-off samples prior to making the production volume. Based in Keighley - 8 miles from our Skipton facility, they combine 30 years [...]

Machinery In Action: Latour Multi-Slide

One of our oldest pieces of machinery at JB Springs is the Latour Multi-Slide. The Latour Multi-Slide provides the adaptability needed for our in-house trained engineers to produce simple and complex wireform parts alike. The video below shows the machine producing a hook coned into a tension spring. We undoubtedly love investing in new machines and putting them to good use (like our BM6 in our previous blog post but this old-timer still runs well and is just as [...]

New BM6 Wireform Machine

As part of our continual investment in the latest spring and wireform production technology, we recently installed an additional Wafios BM6 CNC wire-bending machine to produce our wireform parts, using up to 13mm diameter wire. This machine provides us with further capacity in this area. You can see our original BM6 machine in action on our YouTube channel. This video shows the machine working with our Universal UR10e robot and our Keyence high-speed camera to tightly control dimensions. Established [...]

Looking ahead to 2022

Despite the mention of 2022 perhaps seeming slightly premature(!), this month of August is the end of our financial year. We’d therefore like to take this opportunity to thank our brilliant customers and staff alike for the unwavering support throughout these unprecedented times. The last year has certainly presented its obvious challenges – experienced by companies across industries, but opportunities have equally been presented alongside these challenges and for those we’re also thankful! 2021 has ultimately more than proven [...]

With a rotary wire feed and rotary wire guide mechanism, this machine makes creating complex wireform shapes accurate and efficient. The machine also boasts laser and camera measurement capabilities – contributing automation and accuracy to the production process of both wireform and compression, [...]

Easter Has Sprung Upon Us!

Happy Easter! This year it falls on Sunday 4th April. The date changes each year as, in 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea decided to introduce a rule to govern the date Easter was celebrated (independent of the Jewish calendar) due to Christians all celebrating the event on different dates towards the end of the 2nd century. As a result, Easter Sunday was declared to fall on the first Sunday after the first full moon following (or on) either [...]
