WHY CHOOSE DESIGN SERVICES UNLIMITED
Thank you for your interest in Design Services Unlimited Inc. The company name would lead you to believe we are strictly design but that is incorrect. We are 95% manufacturing and approximately 5% design. While we have an active seat of Solidworks, AutoCAD 2012 and Mastercam X5, our prominent proficiency is intricate-difficult items that your current supplier struggles with. If you have an item your current supplier cannot make the same way twice or you feel the quality is lacking, send it here, we will get it right the first time/every time!
The design aspect comes in to play with our line of gear arbors. We have a complete line of hobb, shave and grinding arbors for Transmission pinion gears. We know your existing gear arbors do not have complete working blueprints so we reverse engineer them so you can order any of the components that wear out or we take the existing gear arbor, and design a better one to fit within your EXACT machine offsets and clearances. Basically you just load our new gear arbor (in place of your old gear arbor) and cycle the machine as usual. NO OFFSET CHANGES OR PROGRAM CHANGES OF ANY KIND.
We have done this in several instances and we have lab layout reports that document our unparalleled gear quality. We design and build gear arbors that produce less gear tooth variation and less flank run out than your current gear arbor, GUARANTEED or your money back.
We also make Nagel hone fixtures either complete or components for them that meet all of Nagel’s quality standards and repeatability.
One great feature we are able to offer is all of our components in a particular gear arbor are interchangeable across the entire lot of arbors with alike part numbers. For instance you can take a collet or expander from one arbor and install it in the other (same part number arbor) and experience the same quality. Many of our competitors have to “grind at assembly” to achieve the desired run-out tolerance you need. We don’t do it that way. We hold all of our components to stringent tolerances and consider all “stack-up” tolerance variation when making our components. Not only do you save money on each assembly, you save money being able to swap components or buy just the “wear item” from us. The money you save buying from us is already substantial but no comparison to the down time you eliminate through interchangeability.
Please see our repair page to see how we can serve you with a tailor made repair program for all of your fixture, chuck, gear arbor and indexable tooling.
