Case Study
Advantage Converting Meets Aerospace Industry’s Tight Manufacturing Requirements for Vibration Dampeners
Challenge
An aerospace company had designs and hand-built prototypes of various-sized vibration dampeners. The parts required extremely tight tolerances on the edge quality/profile and the dimensional geometry of the finished part. The company needed a scalable manufacturing method with the ability to produce production volumes.
Solution
Advantage ConvertingConverting is the process of transforming raw materials—such as films, foils, papers, foams, fabrics, and adhesives—into finished or semi-finished products through specialized manufacturing processes. These processes typically include slitting, laminating, coating, die cutting, rewinding, printing, and roll-to-roll processing. Converting enables manufacturers to customize materials so they meet specific functional, structural, or regulatory requirements across industries such as medical devices, electronics,… successfully developed and produced the vibration dampeners according to the customer’s precise specifications. Advantage Converting’s engineering team applied decades of experience in converting and technical manufacturing to develop an innovative technique to meet ultra-specific edge-quality profile and dimensional tolerance. The multilayer viscoelastic damping polymers were laminated, and the dampeners were die cut to specifications.
Results
- The successful manufacture of a conceptual design enabled the customer to successfully launch a new product line
- Scaled production to meet market demand
