As medical advancements are conceived, more devices, tools and high-tech equipment are made that ensure that we all enjoy a superior quality of life. Springs are used in almost every application in medicine. These essential components fulfil vital roles within these machines and must be reliable so that the doctors and nurses can perform their work uninterrupted.

Many life-saving treatments are connected to the inclusion of springs and stampings in medical tools. We at European Springs frequently find ourselves commissioned to manufacture a wide range of high-quality components for use in the healthcare industry.

Medical Springs

 

The main three spring designs used for medical applications are compression, tension and torsion spring. Compression springs are used in devices that require squeezing action, such as a surgical stapler. Tension springs hold objects together, such as stretches and surgical lights. Torsion springs assist with rotational movement. For example, a dental x-ray unit will have a torsion spring inside it to help point it at the right angle.

Biopsy forceps are a commonplace tool in medicine. These specific forceps are employed to remove small samples of tissue for examination. For example, a surgeon may need to remove a piece of liver tissue to examine it for anything unusual or abnormal growth. The small spring inside makes these forceps particularly good at their role. Other forceps create the possibility of mishandling or human error. In contrast, the pressure provided by the spring in the biopsy forceps ensures that the tissue can be removed effectively and safely.

A far more prominent example of springs assisting medical personnel involves the application of a coil tension spring. Tension springs are designed to resist stretching, providing a tension that pulls attached components back together when moved apart. Large coil tension springs are used in stretchers and posable surgical lights, with small tension springs installed in various other medical devices.

Springs are used in dentistry to help people with their braces. These springs are conventionally made of nickel and titanium alloy for their corrosion resistance and increased hygiene. These springs’ role is continuously exerting a minor force over long periods. This is to have the desired effect of moving the teeth successfully without causing additional problems. Therefore, the manufacture of springs for braces has to be very precise. If a stiff material is chosen, that inflexibility will lead to the force application of the spring reducing to nothing much faster than intended. More flexible materials will be able to compensate and provide the necessary tension for the desired time.

Medical Pressings and Stampings

Engineers designing pressings

Medical stampings are an essential part of the components we provide for the healthcare industry. Pressing flat sheet metal into custom shapes revolutionised the medical sector and opened a whole new world of possibilities for medical care.

Medicine has embraced the adaptability of this process for its medical devices, and they have embraced the possibilities that bespoke stampings provide. Variable sizes are available without sacrificing the lightweight nature, and durable materials are usually chosen for medical applications. Many complex shapes must be made, often in petite sizes, but despite these complications, they are still required to meet the required tolerance specifications.

Implantable Medical Devices

All implantable medical devices have the same challenge, biocompatibility. In addition, these devices are usually life-saving and must be left in the body permanently without causing additional complications for the patient, which demands that they are hygienically suitable. Orthopaedics and cardiovascular are two areas of medicine that use implantable devices.

Artificial pacemakers send electrical charges to a patient’s heart if it’s beating irregularly or suffering from Tachycardia (fast heartbeat) or Bradycardia (slow heartbeat). Springs are used inside to ensure that the miniature electric leads that send these charges to the heart are never disconnected, called active fixation. Additionally, the exterior must be covered with a medical stamping sufficient to not react to the body’s internal chemicals; this is why titanium and stainless steel are usually chosen.

Both titanium and stainless steel are materials that are corrosion resistant, which makes them fantastic for implantable devices. In addition, titanium has the added benefit of connecting with the human bone without reacting negatively (known as Osseointegration). Titanium is also used as a material for surgical tools such as forceps, drills and retractors. Stainless steel provides similar results thanks to its high resistance and durability.

Gas Spring Applications in Medicine

Hospital corridor with beds

As the leading UK spring manufacturer, we know that the gas spring is one of the most sought-after components. Gas springs are installed in hospital or physiotherapy beds to allow flexibility in the bed position and provide increased comfort for the patient. You will also find them as a part of flow control valves or pressure valve regulators in medical gas cylinders. Our gas springs have also been installed into surgical applications, such as patient trolleys and robotic-assisted surgery.

The versatility of the gas spring provides a wealth of opportunities for medical applications, and their quality ensures that they operate sufficiently for the products’ entire lifetime.

The UK manufacturing industry plays an essential role in supporting the economy. With over 270 thousand businesses in the UK contributing to this sector, the UK is internationally known as a significant contributor to global manufacturing.

STEM is an integral part of this industry as it covers science, technology, engineering and mathematics, all essential skills needed for every role within manufacturing. However, these STEM roles need to adapt and evolve to fit the ever-changing needs of this vital industry, and apprenticeships help with that.

Increased Need for Engineers

 

The skills gap has been troubling the industry for many years. In addition, recruitment difficulties have plagued manufacturing as many companies struggle to ensure complete teams. At the start of the year, the British chamber of commerce reported record highs in recruitment struggles. This has been credited to several reasons, but they all have the same result of making it difficult for companies to fill team positions. The more a company’s team is affected by the lack of skills, the more it will affect the quality of their products. This is why European Springs prides itself on promoting its STEM apprenticeship schemes and supporting new people as they begin their careers in manufacturing.

Is a STEM Apprenticeship Right for You?

young engineering apprentices studying

With STEM covering a broad range of roles and job possibilities, it can be daunting to envision your future within it and assess if it’s the right place for you.

The ability to use logic effectively and identify when processes are not as efficient as they can be is evidence that you may be skilled in critical thinking. As bespoke spring manufacturers, we rely on these critical thinkers, people who can spot these problems and then create reasonable solutions to fix them. These skills can be effectively applied to almost any role within the manufacturing industry as, at its core, the sector is grounded in science and mathematics.

To be an engineer for a springs manufacturer, you need to have a detailed understanding of the materials you’ll be using and the machinery involved. But knowing how it works is only a first step.

Despite the initial impression that STEM apprenticeships are a mechanical process, the truth is that they require individuals who can be creative. All industries rely on growth and change to keep up within this competitive field, which is as accurate on a company level as on a personal level. Therefore, successful engineering apprentices need to develop their creativity alongside their critical thinking. These two skills combined will enable them to solve any problem that may arise and recommend new, more efficient processes that will give their associated company an edge in the industry.

STEM Apprenticeship Benefits for Employers

Engineering apprentices at work

The manufacturing industry has been struggling with a skills gap for some time. To solve this issue within our own company, European Springs has long supported engineering apprenticeships and STEM apprenticeships in general.

This gives us a different perspective on the usefulness of STEM apprenticeships. In addition, as each applicant successfully progresses through their time working in a single area, we have seen a broader uplifting of all the processes we manage. This success can be attributed partly to the unique perspective each apprentice provides our company.

As mentioned earlier, our engineers are encouraged to speak up about ineffective processes and use their creativity to recommend improvements, including our STEM apprentices. Each student we take on will bring new ideas and vision for achieving the most efficient working processes. These new ideas can be assessed and potentially implemented as innovations that will improve our products and processes long term. In addition, with the industry’s focus on upskilling or reskilling team members, apprenticeships can help create a team with more diverse skills, creating a stronger workforce.

How Does an Apprenticeship Work?

Apprentice repairing machinery

The ability to conceive effective project management to meet deadlines, and communicate well with other engineers is an essential part of being a STEM apprentice. These, along with the required skills in IT, mathematics, and physics, are all areas that will be significantly developed during your time as an apprentice. To be a truly productive member of your team, you’ll need to analyse and adapt current processes to find more effective ways of completing your tasks.

You’ll achieve these by learning the trade skills from our more experienced staff and using them to complete day-to-day tasks. These will include:

  • Shadowing
  • Supervised work

Shadowing and supervised work are excellent learning tools that far surpass classwork. The benefits of hands-on learning of processes and tasks followed by completing them yourself under supervision cannot be understated for building a skills base as well as your initial confidence.

  • Studying
  • Assessment

The classroom study is then combined with practical research to reinforce the skills an apprentice will learn. Consisting of usually a couple of days a week, an apprentice will take the time to study the deep data of STEM roles. Assessments are an essential part of apprenticeships. Completing contextual exams on what you’ve learned and addressing supervisor feedback will help you fill those gaps in your knowledge and assist your growth into a successful STEM graduate.

Engineer teaching apprentices

Each year we offer excellent apprenticeships at European Springs. These are available for STEM students exploring their future as well as experienced staff wishing to reskill themselves into a new role. Thanks to our established development plans, we are committed to maintaining the highest quality learning experience for our successful applicants. During your time as an apprentice, you can earn while you learn about the manufacture of many products such as torsion springs and begin your journey into a profitable career as a member of the most successful industry in the UK.

The manufacturing industry is taking many different approaches toward becoming more eco-friendly. The impressive shift to increased sustainability is inspired by government initiatives toward creating a green economy and drastically reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing. As well as optimising work processes and embracing recycling, many manufacturers have replaced their existing heating plans with air source heat pumps (ASHP).

UN climate conference 2021

How COP26 Affected the Manufacturing Industry

The UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) took place in Glasgow in November 2021, and the results of this impressive conference have had a significant effect on the manufacturing industry. Globally, the sector contributes roughly 23% of emissions, second only to energy generation systems and on par with transport.

Many areas were addressed, and plans were implemented to resolve them. Elements such as sourcing raw materials, supply chain vehicles and encouraging a paperless work environment were all highlighted as areas that the industry could improve upon with new green technologies.

Benefits of ASHP

Air source heat pumps ASHP

Air source heat pumps are a sustainable way to heat a building, and the technology has become widely popular in commercial and domestic environments. Air source heat pumps are capable of heating large spaces without using conventional fossil fuel sources. They achieve this by extracting warmth from the ambient air outside and drawing it inside to heat radiators or water tanks. This extracted air is funnelled through a compressor, also known as a heat exchange. The amount of heat generated will depend on the size of the unit installed. For example, an average ASHP delivers roughly 4kwh (kilowatt per hour) of energy for every 1kwh used to power it, resulting in a 300% heating bonus for the owner.

Despite the name, they can adapt to either heating or cooling depending on the temperature of the air outside. This has the immediate benefit of replacing the need to purchase a separate heater and air-conditioner with a single alternative, an air source heat pump.

These eco-friendly alternatives to conventional heating have already been adopted in office and school environments, with many more sectors gaining from the benefits. This current progress is estimated to reduce 40-50% of CO2 emissions from these sectors. Manufacturing previously contributed the most emissions, but thanks to ASHPs, this can be drastically reduced.

Costs of ASHP

Spring manufacturers, like any business, are constantly looking for new ways to optimise their expenses. Unfortunately, the unpredictable costs of most conventional fossil-fuel heating systems make planning these costs difficult. In addition, the manufacturing industry’s long-term reliance on fossil fuel-powered heating systems has made reducing heating expenses difficult, especially with rising costs in that area. This makes the development of efficient, eco-friendly ASHP units an attractive prospect as your costs will be reduced to the electricity required to run it. Additionally, these units need little maintenance and can last between 10-25 years, making them a sound investment.

Air source heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating systems. They have been rated at 300% increased efficiency in both domestic and industrial environments. The idea of generating three heating units worth of heat for one cost is a gain any manager can’t afford to ignore. A study of the savings produced showed that businesses can save as much as 51% a year with commercial ASHP units while significantly helping the environment.

Supporting Renewable Energy Sources

One of the most prominent benefits of investing in air source heat pumps is their minimal carbon footprint; they’re rated for zero-carbon emissions, enabling you to benefit from green electricity tariffs. Many energy suppliers will provide you with the choice of a green tariff to support renewable energy sources. Choosing a green tariff sends a clear statement that your company endorses renewable sources.

They accomplish this by matching the electricity used for your ASHP units with verified renewable sources rather than taking it from fossil or nuclear sources. This can happen in one of two ways, either your electricity is sourced from renewables, or the energy company purchases a matching amount of electricity from renewables on your behalf. In either case, your supplier should inform you where they source their electricity.

ASHP units also help with industrial plans for carbon offsetting. Carbon offsetting is a significant first step and a successful tool allowing manufacturers to support a sustainable industry more efficiently. A purchased carbon offset represents a reduction of 1 metric ton of CO2 emissions; these purchases financially support the development of renewable energies such as solar, wind and wave.

For example, The more compression spring manufacturers invest in ASHP, the lower the harmful emissions will be, and support for renewable energy will grow. Expanding this example to the whole industry would remarkably improve eco-friendly sustainability across the sector. The green tariffs and carbon offsets simultaneously still support the development of green, renewable energy sources for a brighter future.

At European Springs, we constantly look for new ways to optimise our workflows. Still, we are also conscious of the industry’s environmental impact and are striving to meet these positive challenges of becoming more sustainable.

Manufacturing is a constantly changing industry. Adapting to changes in customer demand, product requirements, and production economics across the supply chain demands that the industry adapts and evolves to thrive.

There are many factors that the industry needs to take into account to meet shifting changes. For example, as the UK moves towards a more eco-friendly attitude toward manufacturing, companies must improve their supply chains and create a new level of sustainable manufacturing. New technologies also affect the industry, demanding companies optimise their processes and teams to remain competitive. Adapting to emerging trends is essential for any business; here are a few that the manufacturing industry is currently facing.

Consumer Lead Manufacturing

 

The more you see the ways manufacturing is evolving over these recent years, the more obvious it is that an enormous change is coming. One significant contribution to these changes is because computer designs are operating in an increasing number of manufacturing processes. Knicknamed the 4th industrial revolution, innovations are creating a new industry that will significantly change the ways products are designed, produced and distributed by doubling productivity whilst halving the cost.

This enhanced freedom of choice provided by these computerised manufacturing processes has significantly increased the manufacturing of bespoke components. This desire was initially addressed with the implementation of CNC machinery that allowed for easier customisation of designs tied with an increase in production speed and accuracy. At European Springs, we have a fully equipped toolroom that includes the latest WEDM machines connected to our in-house 3D CAD software, providing significant adaptability for producing bespoke products for our clients.

CNC machines are a typical example of how computerised manufacturing has changed the industry, but the emergence of 3D printing has the potential for more changes in the future.

3D Printings Relationship With Manufacturing

metal 3D printing

The increased demand for bespoke components has propelled 3D printing technology into the manufacturing industry. 3D printing is a manufacturing process that enables the creation of objects from a 3D digital model created by a computer. These popular printing machines can use either plastic or metal to build the desired object, layer by layer, creating complex designs that would be far more costly than older manufacturing methods. The smaller printing units have grown in popularity amongst amateurs and hobbyists, creating an impression that 3D printing is just for small objects, but 3D printing is also being embraced for industrial applications.

Industrial 3D printing has been successfully used for various applications, including aerospace, automotive and medical sectors. This is due to the adaptability and reliability of the technology. It can decrease production costs and lower carbon footprint but also provide the benefits of fast prototyping and simplified manufacturing processes.

This trend of consumer lead manufacturing is enabled by 3D printers’ ability to create unique components such as bespoke springs out of durable metal easily. Of course, this will lead to sizable changes regarding machinery and processes. Still, it seems that 3D printing is an emerging presence within the industry and could potentially be for a long time.

Digital Supply Chains

As experienced compression spring manufacturers, we understand the importance of effective supply chain management for conducting smooth operations. Several supply chain management trends aim to ensure the durability and predictability of these vital resources.

One of the most common trends in controlling shifting supply chains is redesigning them with digital management. A digitised supply chain network brings a wealth of data that, when properly managed, can improve every working process as well as your supply chain.

This move to digital supply chain management increases the visibility of all the moving parts of the chain. With many manufacturers and suppliers on digital networks, companies are leaving behind the traditional paper-based, manual process that requires a significant amount of admin to maintain.

Digital management is also leading to an increase in automation. Businesses are increasing their efficiency by automating the supply chain process elements. For example, digital tools such as wireless gateway sensors let deliveries be monitored in real-time with minimal human input.

Sustainability in Manufacturing

 

Increasing green initiatives are a dominant force throughout the manufacturing industry due to the UK’s plans for a green industrial revolution. The current Netzero 2050 strategy has had the most considerable effect on the industry and its supply chains as more companies are exploring Netzero chains when sourcing their materials. Initiatives are in place already that limit wasted materials.

Limiting the amount of new raw materials used during manufacturing has led manufacturers to embrace recycling plans and optimise their processes to reduce wasted material to minimal levels. Apart from the environmental benefits, this has positively affected those companies’ financial savings, as these materials are now used more efficiently.

As a leading springs manufacturer, we at European Springs have observed the manufacturing industry adapt and grow, adopting many new trends to benefit the industry as a whole. As a result, we are consistently discovering new ways of optimising our processes and methods to create cost-effective, high-quality products for all our customers.

You can view our entire spring catalogue online here.

With the positive progression of the UK’s plans to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050, the manufacturing industry made extensive changes to its current working practices.

Manufacturing plays a vital role in the UK economy and is one of the leading industries to adopt innovations that reduce harmful emissions. These changes have been aligned with the eco-friendly national strategy in various ways, one of the most significant being the introduction of green skills.

What are Green Skills?

Green skills is a framework that assists people and businesses in refocusing their processes into something more sustainable, whether that’s an increase in social, economic or environmental sustainability. Green skills can be implemented as shared knowledge or skills or as business attitudes and values. Still, all are important for creating a new green mindset that can reduce the environmental impact of your current methods.

The four main categories of all green skills are cognitive, technological, interpersonal and intrapersonal competencies. These form the essence of the green skills applied within a business, including manufacturing.

  • Cognitive competencies cover the awareness of the people involved in sustainable practices. This can include sharing data, encouraging involvement with environmental awareness, and exploring new opportunities to increase your current methods.
  • Technological competencies involve creating and implementing various technological innovations to replace wasteful practices. This will be unique to every business’s needs but will have an impressive impact once introduced.
  • Interpersonal competencies. If the cognitive step is thought of as learning and planning, this step is about implementing your new sustainable strategies. This will involve coordination and management relevant to achieving your pre-determined goals of increasing your sustainability.
  • Intrapersonal competencies is where green skills will be the most prominent. New skills, adaptable working practices and new technologies will increase the sustainability of your work, leading to significant positive results.

These classifications are similar to the widely used ‘soft skills’ essential to developing modern working environments. The primary difference is the specific goal of supporting more eco-friendly and sustainable working methods.

Green Skills in Manufacturing

Regarding green skills in manufacturing, three areas are the most important to address:

  • Resource efficiency
  • Environmental product improvements
  • Low-carbon economy

Resource Efficiency in Manufacturing

compression spring manufacture

Resource efficiency in manufacturing involves assessing how efficiently the required raw materials are used. Natural resources are becoming increasingly more valuable for manufacturing, but a greener manufacturing process can be achieved through efficient use and embracing recycled sources. In Europe, on average, over 50% of manufacturing costs come from acquiring these natural resources.

The green skills involved with resource efficiency are heavily connected to finding new ways of reducing expensive waste and reducing manufacturing costs and emissions whilst not reducing production. In addition, green skills within resource management lead to the creation of many new technologies and practices, including lean manufacturing.

As experienced compression spring manufacturers, we know that lean manufacturing is one of the most successful green skills and has been adopted industry-wide as a positive change. This is where a company can make positive changes to their products and improve their production methods environmentally.

Lean manufacturing aims to maximise your current productivity whilst simultaneously reducing waste to its lowest amounts, and in this context, waste is anything that doesn’t add value to your company. Besides the environmental benefits of making the most of your resources, lean manufacturing also helps reduce lead times and operating costs while not sacrificing product quality.

Low Carbon Economy

solar panels and wind turbines

Over the last 70 years, harmful emissions have grown exponentially across all sectors. Manufacturing used to be a significant contributor to this, but with the introduction of many green skills, the industry’s effect on the environment is decreasing.

Also known as a decarbonised economy, this strategy promotes the development of low emission alternatives. The primary examples are renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines, but purchasing these is not the only way manufacturers can improve their sustainability. Another popular way is with carbon offset.

Carbon offset is a relatively new method of improving your business’s sustainability. Companies can choose to invest in the further development and creation of renewable energy sources. That investment is scaled to match their current carbon emissions footprint, thereby creating a balance that renders their emissions neutral.

Expert Spring and Pressing Suppliers

As expert tension spring manufacturers, we understand how crucial it is that green skills are shared and implemented across the entire industry as the best way of limiting harmful emissions and meeting that desired target of Net Zero.

We are constantly exploring new opportunities and innovations to improve our sustainability as we continue to be leading manufacturers of suspension springs, pressings and wireforms. At European Springs, we are committed to ensuring all our products are of the highest quality for our clients and are also dedicated to meeting our goals of ecological improvement and overall sustainability.

If you have any questions about our products, please explore our full range in our catalogue or feel free to contact us directly and one of our engineers will answer your questions.

 

The manufacturing sector is a constantly evolving industry. The innovations and processes developed are all to meet the ever-growing complexities of consumer demand.

The success of these new ideas is clearly seen when attending the various industry shows across the UK. Virtually every attendee or speaker will promote, to some extent, the inclusion of digital processes in manufacturing, such as the prevalent CNC machines. But the benefits of digital manufacturing are not limited to the manufacturing itself. By implementing digital upgrades into every link in the supply chain, manufacturers have significantly improved their efficiency, productivity, and overall effectiveness within the industry. But how is manufacturing digitised?

What Is Digital Manufacturing

Digital manufacturing is essentially the inclusion of computer systems alongside manufacturing processes, supply chains and other services. The technologies used in digital manufacturing can connect all the areas required for production and build a unified plan for spring manufacturers and many other products. With this, initial designs to final production can be monitored accurately to maintain the necessary high level of quality.

When managing any industry, it’s vital to have the correct information available at all times. The idea behind digital manufacturing is to connect these systems that are separated far and wide. By creating an accessible link between all these parts of product creation, you can eliminate the wasted communication times that plagued the process before digital solutions connected them all.

This metaphorical thread weaves its way through the whole process and creates a wealth of data that can be analysed to reveal any failures in current operations. So, for example, compression spring manufacturers who digitise their manufacturing can also help anticipate customers’ needs or potential rises in demand.

The Three Elements of Digital Manufacturing

Digital manufacturing is summarised into three elements that cover the entirety of their effect on the manufacturing industry.

The Smart Factory focuses on the idea of implementing automation into manufacturing. Smart factories use various tools such as intelligent machines, tooling and sensors to assist the company’s engineers and other workers by supplying real-time data on the operations in progress.

Smart factories rely on a bridge between two technologies, Operational technologies and Information technology systems. This combination is vital to creating a data exchange between the tooling and machines and the programs that control them. These can be further improved upon by using in-depth business analysis techniques to monitor the efficiency of your operation technologies. This ability to monitor your manufacturing processes in real-time and enact whatever process control optimisation you see fit is invaluable for any manufacturing company.

The Value Chain Management element focuses on increasing efficiency with the resources needed for manufacturing. This is where you can optimise your processes significantly to make the most of what you need to create your products. Optimised process, concise inventory, and happier customers with better products are proven results of digitising your manufacturing. Additionally, this helps with creating a lean manufacturing process that will have the secondary benefits of lowering your environmental impact.

Product life cycles assist with everything from the initial designs to sourcing the materials and, finally, its production and lifecycle. This is the most direct digital intervention on manufacturing methods such as torsion springs, for example. The digital data available throughout this whole creation chain will include every step for analysis, including any potential changes or revisions.

Industries That Rely On Digital Manufacturing

The aerospace and national defence industries have relied on the benefits provided by digital manufacturing for years. These digital tools have become essential for monitoring the vastly complex supply networks required for their machines and vehicles. For example, modern military aircraft contain thousands of components collected from various sources.

In recent years, most digital manufacturing tools have upgraded to include cloud computing options that will allow manufacturers and suppliers to communicate far more efficiently and address any issues quicker. Digital solutions increase production efficiency and help with the preparation and design phases. The Boeing 777, commonly known as the triple seven, was the first commercial aircraft designed entirely on a computer.

Many other industries have benefited from digital manufacturing by incorporating automated processes. Additive manufacturing, CNC milling, lathing and cutting, and laminated object manufacturing are just a few digital processes embraced by many manufacturers.
