Lutz Sales Company, Inc.
Lutz Sales Company, Inc. of Hanover Park, IL recently obtained a competitor's sample for quotation from a customer located in Illinois. This customer was looking for cost savings for several items and did not describe the problems they were having with our competitor's product for this particular seal application at the time of quotation. Apparently the competitor's product was failing due to poor workmanship (parting line and flow marks) which was causing leaks in the application and therefore had to be 100% inspected to sort out the product with gross defects. This was very time consuming and costly for the customer, adding some $30 to fix each unit with the defective part. Not only was Lutz Sales Company able to show a cost savings for the unit price of the product, but was also able to provide a product with superior workmanship eliminating the need for 100% sorting.
What makes the difference: Lutz Sales Company's Custom Molded Products are produced using only advanced technologies.
The molds are produced from directly inputing the parts dimensions into the computer software and the cavities are produced using CNC machinery. Only high grade steel is selected to produce the mold and the CNC accuracy between cavities ensures consistent quality from cavity to cavity.
All materials are controlled using Rheometer curves to ensure consistency from batch to batch and full traceability is maintained for each lot of material.
With each first run of material Lutz Sales Company provides an ISIR showing conformity of all dimensions to the print. In addition, PPAP's can be provided to meet 1.33 Cpk as a standard. For more stringent automotive requirements Lutz Sales Company offers Doss and Basler Video Inspection.
Lutz Sales Company reliability rates from first print review to the approval of ISIR samples on first submission is extremely high; approaching 99%. This means there are no hiccups or costly delays for a new product's development or platform.
Examples of Lutz Sales Company's custom molded rubber products include but are not limited to: custom seals, isolators, grommets, sleeves, bellows, metal to rubber bonded washers, balls and diaphragms.
