When a customer needed a fully assembled knob solution with precise fit, smooth operation, and dependable thread engagement, Hogge Precision delivered a turnkey manufacturing approach. By combining in‑house machining of custom Delrin knobs and aluminum screws with hardware sourcing, assembly, inspection, and kitting, Hogge provided a single‑source solution. The result — a ready‑to‑use, production‑ready assembly meeting exact performance and packaging standards.
Turnkey Assembly Project Details
Customer Need
The customer required a complete, ready-to-use knob assembly for a production application where smooth operation, consistent thread engagement, and reliable fit were critical. Rather than managing multiple suppliers for machined components, hardware sourcing, assembly, and packaging, the customer sought a single manufacturing partner capable of delivering a fully assembled and kitted solution.
Hogge Precision Solution
Hogge Precision provided an end-to-end assembly solution by combining in-house precision machining of the black Delrin knob and a 2011 Aluminum threaded screw to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent engagement and performance.
Hogge Precision also sourced two screws needed to complete the full assembly — installing the machined threaded screw into the knob — followed by inspection to verify fit, function, and repeatability. Assemblies were then kitted, labeled, and packaged to the customer’s specifications, ready for immediate use on the production floor.
Assembly & Value-Added Services Demonstrated
- Precision machining of the knob and aluminum screw
- Sourcing of complementary hardware
- Cleaning of machined components
- Mechanical assembly of the knob and the threaded fastener
- Verification of thread engagement, alignment, and functionality
- Kitting, custom labeling, and custom packaging for production readiness
Results & Customer Value
- Eliminated the need for multiple vendors and internal assembly labor
- Improved consistency and quality through controlled machining and assembly
- Reduced lead times by consolidating machining, sourcing, and assembly
- Delivered a production-ready, kitted component that included the customer’s “supermarket” location for ease of restocking their inventory.
By delivering a fully assembled knob rather than individual parts, Hogge Precision helped the customer reduce handling, minimize risk, and accelerate their manufacturing process.
