William Hughes Produces Bent Wire Components

William Hughes is able to design and manufacture complex bent wire parts for a wide range of applications that meet the customer's specifications for dimensional accuracy and strength. For example, a typical bent wire pedal bar may require as many as eight bends in three dimensions to achieve the required shape. Each bend has to be precisely applied to the component with consistency and accuracy.

Some manufacturers require additional individual variations, for example, a tapered boss welded to one end of the wire. To achieve this with high accuracy, William Hughes designed a special assembly jig that provides a method of feeding the parts into an automatic welding machine. Variations for other two- or three-dimensional wire forms include twists, turns, spirals, protrusions, indentations and 'pips' that enable plastic components to be used to rigidly link assemblies together. When the components have completed their bending and forming, they are finished using an e-coating (electrophoretic painting) process - an environmentally friendly process that applies a durable black coating to the component with a uniform thickness.

There are many other examples of projects where William Hughes has worked with its customers to manufacture to a high quality and at a low cost using its high-capacity production plant. The William Hughes product range includes compression springs, tension springs, wire forms, PCB test points and spring wire. The company performs stringent quality checks to ISO 9001:2008 and TS 16949.
