Endeavour International Ltd

MAS Action

Endeavour International worked with MAS to design and develop an electronically controlled swaging unit. MAS provided match funding for the project and engaged the services of a specialist that facilitated a ten day product design and development project to help redesign Endeavour International’s swaging machine to operate electronically.

Results

As a result of the work and support delivered by MAS, Endeavour International has developed three prototypes of the new electronic swaging machine that are already being shown at international trade conferences such as the Power Transmission and Control (PTC) conference in Shanghai. Its new range includes machines for swaging, cutting and skiving of hydraulic hose up to a 2-inch bore capacity. By developing the prototype the business has already managed to save on design, material and labour costs as well as helping stock levels by having one machine that can do the same job as three.

Key Achievements

• The development of a low-cost, high-end, electronically controlled swaging machine
• Cost savings by using efficient design and labour reduction
  

Endeavour International have achieved a great deal with the development of the new electronically controlled swaging machine. By interrogating their product designs they were able to identify opportunities for improving the design; cutting material and labour costs at the same time.
