Our Latest Investments

Why These Tools Matter

Precision Mil Thickness Tool

Bonding polyurethane to metal is one of the most critical steps in caster wheel manufacturing. The Precision Mil Thickness Tool allows our technicians to measure the adhesive layer applied to wheel cores with micron-level accuracy.

By precisely controlling the mil thickness, we ensure every bond meets our stringent quality standards. The result? Consistent performance and dependable strength—wheel after wheel, core after core.

Advanced Titration Equipment

Polyurethane performance depends on the delicate balance between prepolymer and curative chemistry. Our new titration system measures NCO% (isocyanate content) in real time before the materials are mixed, ensuring that ratio precision is never left to chance.

As prepolymer is heated to a liquid state, its NCO% can decrease through “burn off.” Left uncorrected, this can lead to soft, weak, or even unusable material. By running titrations before every batch, we can:

This level of precision is particularly vital when working with high-performance urethanes like HTTP, which may sit unused for extended periods. Titration testing allows us to guarantee every batch meets our exacting standards for strength, resilience, and longevity.

Conclusion

These technological investments not only strengthen our products but also enhance our processes.
