All look this way….. Sunday saw members of Tenon Engineering and our sister company, Wallace Instruments, attend the Team Photo event for the Shirt Sponsors. Wallace on the left sleeve Tenon on the right sleeve. It was a great afternoon with Dorking Wanderers FC Women playing against Ashford Town in the third round of the Women’s FA Cup. Dorking came from behind and won 2-1. A really exciting game. We all know that teamwork is a critical aspect of performance, whether in sport or industry, but another under-rated characteristic is spirit. This spirit was viewed in abundance within the Dorking squad and staff. From the team, commercial support, management and catering staff - the atmosphere and positivity were infectious. We wish them well. Now to the engineering. Our Chief Engineer was intrigued by the 4g artificial pitch which contains a rubber base - this is Wallace Instruments’ territory and another example of how rubber affects our daily lives. #WomenInFootball #ForwardTogether #PrecisionManufacturing #RubberIndustry HelloDorking Lisa Edwards Chris Norval Terry Healy Mary Norval

Completing a final inspection on some very fragile jewels housed in a brass sleeve presents a challenge. A sapphire jewel with a central hole only 100 microns in diameter can be checked prior to insertion using magnification, but when the jewel assembly is inserted into the body of the instrument housing, it then makes it virtually impossible to clearly see the face of the sapphire to check for insertion cracking. These are delicate items. Each jewel is press fitted into a bore and this bore is at 90 degrees to the central axis. Still with me? SOLUTION. One of our clever colleagues came up with the concept of “looking around the corner” with a mirror placed at 90 degrees to the axis which when used with the #Cyclops digital microscope makes it possible to look down the bore and rotate the part to view the sapphire perfectly. Hence the jig and differing heights of 90-degree mirrors. Well done to all those that contributed to designing this #assemblyinspection process – demonstrating that at TENON Engineering our quality ethos is ingrained through every stage of #productdesign, #prototyping and manufacturing to deliver for our customers. ⚙️ www.tenonengineering.co.uk Aven Tools #QualityControl #QualityAssurance #PrecisionEngineering #PrecisionManufacturing #UKmfg #UKManufacturing #Engineering Terry Healy Chris Norval Mary Norval

Paper, as we all know, is the ubiquitous material that has recorded society in letter and document form. The transition to a digital world of emails, online magazines, etc has diminished how a paper’s surface is used, most notably in the newsprint industry. Here you can see paper being used as a protector of the previously #groundsurface whilst this component is finally ground to length and parallel to the datum face. If the paper was not used, then the surface would be excessively scratched, as the component is attached to the magnetic chuck on this #cylindricalgrinder. With the paper sandwiched between the surface and magnetic chuck there is still a perfect finish. So whence does this paper come from? The waste copies from the photocopier - paperless society!! ⚙️ www.tenonengineering.co.uk #QualityControl #QualityAssurance #PrecisionEngineering #PrecisionManufacturing #UKmfg #UKManufacturing #Engineering Terry Healy Chris Norval Mary Norval

Future proof… Yesterday we welcomed two 3rd-year undergraduate students, Philipa and Peter, from Loughborough University. Accompanied by Terry Healy our Chief Engineer, they toured our three factories to see firsthand how the company operates, the extremely high tolerances and limit values that TENON Engineering works to, and the challenges that arise. The assembly areas where the rheology air bearings are built particularly captured their interest due to our impressive design capabilities. This was followed by a tour of all our manufacturing and machining facilities. Their visit concluded with an extensive introduction to our sister company Wallace Instruments, and its suite of advanced materials testing equipment that we manufacture for them, explaining how these products are integrated into the international standards used within the rubber industry. They were also delighted to receive some small gifts housed in exclusive Andy Warhol-inspired Wallace tote bags, which were very popular giveaways when they exhibited at the recent Rubber Division, ACS International Elastomer Conference in Pittsburgh. Both Philipa and Peter, who had recently completed a year in manufacturing as part of their course, were impressed by the range and capabilities of Tenon Engineering, commenting, “We are amazed at the attention to detail, the tolerance limits that are worked to and the range of resources within the company.” Today the future came to Tenon Engineering and Wallace Instruments, and the future looks good! ⚙️ tenonengineering.co.uk #PrecisionManufacturing #RubberIndustry #UKManufacturing Chris Norval Mary Norval RUBBER HEART

Punch up… Up above the bespoke punch tooling fixture, the camera captures the action as the spinning is rotated and side holes are punched at each fixed location. This tooling fixture was designed to solve a logistics problem and help to deliver the finished assemblies to the customer in a timely manner. The brief from our engineering department was simple. Utilise sheet metal and fabrication and keep machined parts to an absolute minimum. Purchase proprietary components that are cost-effective. Only four machined parts, made here at TENON Engineering, are used. As can be seen, the punch tooling is functional and does one job well. It was a design with a killer punch. If you’re looking to collaborate with a company that doesn’t pull any punches, then TENON Engineering is ready to work together with you to achieve your goals. ⚙️ tenonengineering.co.uk #PrecisionManufacturing #SheetMetal #UKmfg #UKManufacturing Terry Healy Chris Norval Mary Norval RUBBER HEART

Keep it clean… Not all sheet metal activity involves laser cutting, folding, rolling and welding - assembly and cleaning are just as important, as these two photos illustrate. The frame is built from beautiful, ITEM modular extruded sections supplied by the wonderful company Machine Building Systems Ltd. Parts are modified according to drawings before the exact assembly is brought together, with fittings for door slides and counterweights added. Specially modified panelling creates obscure lower insert panels, completing the assembly with clear panels. Trims are added and the unit is cleanly wrapped on its special transportation pallet. Cleaning is the action in the second photo covering the laborious task of removing the stainless-steel welding discolouration. At TENON Engineering it's important that work is protected and presented to our customers in the best way possible. Effort made is company pride maintained.

MONDO Domino… An exciting addition to the highly respected Inspection and Quality Department at TENON Engineering: a Mondo-Optimax viewer. Although this was purchased as a pre-loved instrument, the Mondo has been updated with recent software and is going to be a valuable addition to our comprehensive inspection equipment. With our ever-expanding range of inspection resources, this is a big positive! Expanding our capabilities with the MONDO creates a domino effect within Tenon Engineering that directly benefits our valued customers. This effect could be a benefit to you as well, so please connect with us and follow our updates. ⚙️ tenonengineering.co.uk #PrecisionManufacturing #Inspection #UKManufacturing Terry Healy Chris Norval RUBBER HEART

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin… Channelling the spirit of the 1960s hit American TV western Rawhide, we're keeping things moving just like the famous theme tune sung by Frankie Laine! We thought a black and white film would be just right. The simple process of rolling a flat sheet is straightforward, but it gets trickier when there's detailed pressing involved. That's where the tooling comes into play, positioned here at the mid-point on the top roller, to help the pressed detail stay intact. Powered rollers are invaluable assets here at TENON Engineering, forming part of our family of rollers and a crucial component of our extensive range of resources. And what else was this classic series known for? Clint Eastwood! Just as he made his mark on the show, we're making ours in the world of precision engineering! ⚙️ tenonengineering.co.uk #PrecisionManufacturing #SheetMetal #UKmfg #UKManufacturing Terry Healy Chris Norval RUBBER HEART
