An extremely complex B-pillar, critical to the future success of a new car programme.
Sarginsons Industries asked us to assist with the machining of an extremely complex B-pillar, a structural component critical to the future success of a new car programme.
Complexity and criticality together: the geometry was demanding, and the programme's timeline left no room for a machining approach that wasn't fully optimised from the start.
We applied full Value Engineering to the machining strategy, optimising toolpaths, fixturing and tooling to cut cycle time by 60% while holding the structural tolerances the part demanded.
One-operation thinking minimised handling and set-ups, protecting both the timeline and the part quality.
The B-pillar was delivered on-time-in-full to the tolerances required, supporting the programme's launch and proving the approach for ongoing production.
Bring us the one everyone else says is too hard.
