Medical Equipment & Supplies #4942361

A customer in the medical industry commissioned Fabco Manufacturing, Inc. to design and build a prototype for the photo-acoustic device highlighted here. Our engineers worked with the client to produce a design fitting their requirements, creating prototypes that were tested and fine-tuned for production approval. Upon approval it was imperative that we produced a zero defect product. This unit required heavy finishing work, costing the customer hours in assembly time so the part had to be to specification. At Fabco we were up to the challenge, employing our recognized manufacturing capabilities to produce the part from 14ga, 16ga, and 18ga cold rolled steel, expertly manipulating the material with our precision shearing, punching, forming, TIG welding, and grinding services & processes.
Overall dimensions of the device were 14" in width, 24" in depth, and 36" in height. The article was finished with zinc plating for longevity and high performance, and inspected for quality with first article and dimensional methods. Turnaround time for this project was 3 weeks. Our relationship with the customer has evolved from design and prototyping to handling the full time production of this unit, fabricating 25 pieces per week and packaging with custom crating for international shipment.

A customer in the medical industry contracted Fabco Manufacturing, Inc. to remodel and revamp the production procedures for the EasyCell hematology imaging system enclosure highlighted below. The initial product was unable to pass FDA standards due to inadequate EMI shielding and a plastic casing. Their alternative coatings and material additions were proving to be too expensive to stay competitive in their market. We were able to re-engineer their product, reverse engineering and applying cost analysis to the customer-supplied sample in order to arrive at a cost effective and functional solution.
The unit was redesigned, abandoning the plastic for an aluminum body construction. Employing our developed precision manufacturing capabilities, processes including shearing, punching, laser cutting, forming, TIG and spot welding, grinding, and machining were applied to aluminum material to form the unit, holding tight tolerances throughout. Powder coating and silk screening were applied to the part, and hardware was inserted where required for completed assembly. Overall finished dimensions of the enclosure were 24 in width, 18 in depth, and a height of 12. The part was tested with first article inspection, dimensional inspection, as well as EMI testing and certification. Turnaround time for this project was 4 weeks, and we produce 300 units per year for this client, located in Massachusetts. The redesigned aluminum enclosure was an ideal solution for the customers initial dilemma, providing a reduction in cost and eliminating the EMI shielding problem.
