Introduction:
How many suppliers do you need to
develop your ideas? The answer could be
as simple as one – WPI.
At WPI, we have an array of resources to bring your idea
from its conceptual stage to manufacturing. The combined
strengths of our four divisions enable us to handle a multitude
of projects from concept through production, to warehousing
and any step in between.
Whether you choose us for a single service or a turnkey project, you can rely on
us for our expertise in meeting your requirements with a level of quality that will meet your expectations.
MODERN design & development
It’s your idea, and its time has come . . .
Our Industrial design, engineering and manufacturing
capabilities make us a superior source for product
development. We not only create innovative manufacturable
designs, but provide the services of rapid prototyping, production,
assembly, packaging and distribution, on time at competitive rates. We
give you total solutions from concept through production.
MODERN plastics
Your design becomes reality . . .
Our expertise is in adding value for you in each step of
the manufacturing process, from molding to assembly to
distribution. Our injection molding press sizes range from
55 tons to 950 tons, which are supported by the very latest in
robotic automation. Our capabilities encompass intricate high tolerance
molding, decorating, and large component production and assembly.
MODERN stamping & painting
Your design becomes reality . . .
Our powder coat paint system is an environmentally
friendly alternative to solvent based paint systems. In
conjunction with our 5 stage wash booth, we create superior
finishes and wear characteristics for your products. Beyond painting,
we offer metal stamping & finishing, welding, assembly, and distribution.
VALLEY plating and fabricating
In a cost-competitive, quality conscious, “get the
job done yesterday” industry, there is no room for
compromise. The only way to succeed is to do things
better and faster than the competition. At Valley Plating
and Fabricating, this isn’t just our philosophy; it’s the way we
do business. We can meet all of your metal fabrication needs –
from light fabrication to heavy weldments of steel, stainless steel,
and aluminum
concept
Before any physical models are produced, conceptual
sketches and renderings are created to show several possible
functional designs.
Our Industrial Design process will quickly communicate function
and form to you.
Complex designs can be easily understood and modified, and illustrating your ideas
in three dimension will bring tremendous power and credibility to your project. By doing
this, you can explore multiple design possibilities before the final design is complete.
prototyping
Our designers will create three dimensional
computer models, mock-ups and highly accurate
working prototypes.
Once your design is chosen, an engineered prototype is created to
exact dimensions and machined. This model will physically
communicate how a product will function.
Computer generated part files will create an exact model of your product.
With this data we can develop rapid prototype parts for verification. Once your design has been
verified the data is ready for production tooling.
injection molding
Modern Plastics operates multiple shifts with press sizes
from 55 tons up to 950 tons, which are supported by the very
latest in robotic automation. Materials range from commodity
resins such as HIPS and ABS to engineered resins such as Noryl
and glass filled polyesters. Our in-press capabilities include insert
molding, over-molding, and in-mold decorating. Secondary operations
include component assembly, pad printing, hot stamping, sonic welding, riveting,
packaging and labeling.
fabrication
Valley Plating & Fabricating is a multi-shift
operation focused on providing the highest quality
metal fabrications to your specifications. We have
state-of-the art 12’ x 42’ CNC burning tables, featuring
Hi-definition plasma, Arcwriting, and Oxyfuel, with the
capability of cutting 14” thick material. We can form and bend
material utilizing our 230 ton press brake and ¾” x 10’ plate roll. Sawing
is accomplished using both vertical and horizontal band saws. Our wire
feed and submerged arc weld procedures are compliant to both AWS and MIL-STD 248/278.
powdercoat painting
Modern Stamping & Painting operates two shifts.
Starting with parts being racked on our 600’ variable
speed conveyor they move through our five stage wash
system (Alkaline Cleaner, Rinse, Phosphate Bath, Rinse,
Non-Chromatic Sealer). After passing through the drying portion
of the 60’ convection oven (max 450 deg), they enter our Nordson
powder booth (8 auto & 2 manual guns, 2 recycle modules, and 1 spray
to waste module). They then make a final pass through the oven where they are
removed for assembly or packaging. Maximum part size: 2’ wide x 4’ high x 4’ long.
assembly
Our custom assembly capabilities provide a unique
in-house manufacturing process. Whether you have
a need for cellular manufacturing or a separate dedicated
line, we can accommodate your specific needs. From
intricate parts and kits to large complex components with
multiple sub-assemblies, we will provide cost effective solutions for
your assembly requirements.
distribution
Our 60,000 sq ft. climate controlled distribution
center offers you a variety of inventory solutions.
Direct package, LTL, and full load shipments along
with stocking programs and vendor managed inventory are
just a few of the services available to you.
