When production volumes justify the creation of hard tooling, LFE can create, run and maintain large and complex tool suites. Our in-house tooling center creates hard tooling for staged and progressive sheetmetal parts and molded plastic parts. When needed, we also utilize our proven supplier network to deliver extrusions, castings, post plating, turnings, and more.
Injection Molding
As a leader in plastic injection molding and customized projects, LFE offers custom plastic molding that fits almost any requirement or specification. Our rich experience in plastic part design and manufacturing coupled with our broad range of injection molding machines and in-house tooling center has enabled us to develop a “Best In Class” reputation in the industry. Whether your requirement is part of a complex assembly or a standalone part we provide the same high quality engineering and customer service support that our customers have come to rely on.
Sheetmetal Stamping
LFE is an industry leader in the design and production of high quality metal stampings and supports a wide array of project volumes and complexities. Today’s business environment demands efficiency and flexibility at a competitive cost. To accomplish this, our factory supports both staged and progressive tooling, quick die change and in house tooling maintenance and repair. Our large array stamping presses allows us to handle multiple complex projects at the same time and still meet our customers challenging demand requirements. And all of this is done under the umbrella of a robust quality system that is designed to provide the highest level of defect free product possible.
Tooling Center
At LFE, our in-house tooling center specializes in creating high quality metal stamping and injection molding tools for the products we produce. We can produce both staged and progressive stamping dies for a wide range of volume requirements and part complexities. For plastic parts, we produce both single and multi-cavity plastic molds and support complex part geometries and mold complexities. Our product design and tooling engineers work hand in hand so that the individual tools are created with the products functional and cosmetic requirements in mind. Finally, we understand that tooling cost and lead time drive our customers’ success so we produce our tooling in the fastest and most cost effective way possible.
Painting
LFE supports liquid and powder painting for sheet metal, as well as robotic liquid painting in a dust-free room environment for plastics. Several types of product decoration are available allowing us to support a broad range of product configurations. These include pad printing, silk screening and hot stamping. Since we produce products in a wide range of volumes, we are used to managing both low and high volume painting and decorating requirements at a competitive cost and lead time.
Assembly and Integration
Because LFE supports a wide range of product volumes and complexities it has developed a very efficient and effective assembly and integration capability. Whether your project consists of a handful of parts or it has hundreds, we can handle it. If you require the integration of higher level components such as fans, drives and PCBA’s we can also support your needs. Because of our customers rapidly changing demand requirements our assembly and integration capability has been designed to be scalable without sacrificing the quality and integrity of the final product.
