Torsion springs can be either single, which gives a higher force in a smaller space, or double, which provides a balanced force or torque.
The finished result is a wire part manufactured to the highest precision and meeting all the criteria of the individual customer's specification.
In addition to bending wire through any plane in any configuration, William Hughes is able to apply further refinements such as cut or rolled threads and plastic or painted coatings.
Spot, projection, butt or MIG welding can be utilised in assemblies as can the clipping together of two or more different wires.
An in-house design team fully equipped with the latest CAD facilities ensures that each wire form or assembly is both practicable and economical to produce, and fully computerised production processes maintain the quality of the prototype over long (or short) production runs.
William Hughes imposes the highest quality standards possible on all procedures, adhering to ISO9002 and QS9000 standards.
