Hospital patients' medical alarm and environmental/comfort control panel project demanded precision tooling in aluminium alloy
A suite of tools to manufacture the patient's medical alarm/environment controls was made recently by Toolcraft Plastics from high grade aluminium alloy.
Specialist in the use of this material, Toolcraft made all nine plastic components including the critically shaped neoprene rubber sealing ring, the lens piece, the spring bed-side clip, the wall mount, and overmoulded the cable/jack plug for a high reliability connection.
The overall product was designed as impact resistant to deal with any accidental damage and is 'clean-easy'. A series of control buttons enables the patient to select entertainment programmes, audio volume, lighting levels or call for assistance.
Designing the full suite of tools enabled Toolcraft Plastics to control tolerances to very close limits resulting in excellent overall component fitting.
Quality management at Toolcraft is to BS EN ISO 9002 throughout.
