Here's how Huyett leveraged our custom fastener manufacturing capabilities and distribution services to help a customer who was struggling with poorly performing yoke end threads. Read on to learn how we find solutions for customers like you. The customer needed high-quality yoke ends to meet precise equipment specifications. Their existing manufacturing processes did not meet expectations, which resulted in additional rework costs. Huyett's Regional Distribution Support Team carefully evaluated the customer's application and determined that a custom solution was needed to: ☑️ Provide exact internal thread dimensions ☑️ Deliver consistent, accurate production ☑️ Prevent costly rework The Huyett Manufacturing Department updated the existing manufacturing process and began working with blank-blank yoke ends, developing a three-part lathe process: 1️⃣ Running a rough initial drill to shape the hole 2️⃣ Running a secondary drill to deburr the hole and clarify dimensions 3️⃣ Running thread tooling in the hole to carve exact threads that conform to UNF 2B standards By partnering with Huyett, the customer was able to: ✅ Elevate fastener performance ✅ Significantly reduce rework costs ✅ Eliminate unnecessary paperwork ✅ Benefit from Huyett's Distribution Support Team services Ready to start streamlining your business with customized fasteners from a single manufacturing source?

KTech Manufacturing’s Commitment to Meeting Customer Needs At KTech Manufacturing, we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt and meet the evolving needs of our customers, even when faced with tight deadlines and unexpected demands. Recently, one of our largest customers, a prominent South Carolina manufacturer, approached us with an urgent request. This customer, who had multiple purchase orders scheduled through November, suddenly found themselves in a bind. They urgently required an additional 130 pieces of their product, far exceeding the original order and in a significantly shorter timeframe than initially agreed upon. Our Ktech team immediately rose to the challenge. By strategically rearranging parts and production schedules, we managed to bring a second machine online to meet the increased demand. While we didn’t purchase new equipment, we were able to shift operations and double production capacity by utilizing two existing machines. At KTech, we are always willing and capable of meeting our customers' demands. When they come to us and say, ‘I need a miracle,’ we do everything in our power to deliver. If you would like to find out how you can order custom machined parts, then comment below or DM me here on LinkedIn or email me at [email protected] and we can set up a chat.

👷‍♂️💡 MANUFACTURING BOSS PRO TIP 👷‍♀️ WIN as a team, DIE as a team. Sounds pretty harsh, no? 😬 "DIE as a team." Yes, it does, and yes, it is. 💥 However, it's a very effective team-building strategy. 🤝 I’m grateful we don’t have to use this tactic often, but when we do, it’s always effective. 💯 🔍 How does this work? Well, a team member screws up a job. 😳 The job needs to be sorted.* This usually means double-digit thousands of parts. 🛠️ We believe in cleaning up your own mess, but we would never move forward if the guilty team member was the only one sorting. 🚨 The entire team stops what they're doing, gathers around makeshift tables, and sorts parts. The process is the same every time: 1️⃣ Everyone complains while setting up. 2️⃣ Sorting starts, and everyone complains—loudly—especially ribbing the guilty team member. 😅 3️⃣ Sorting continues, and the grumbling slowly turns into jokes. 😂 4️⃣ Sorting completes with everyone—literally everyone—laughing, and we often end the day with some well-deserved beer. 🍻 *Only done when parts cannot be sorted by automation. ⚙️ #manufacturing #leadership #teambuilding
