Case study
Requirement
One of the largest builders and operators
of passenger trains in the world needed a
new supplier for a solenoid valve used in a
restroom water faucet. Their old suppler went
out of business, leaving no source for this
specialized component. Without it, they were
faced with redesigning the whole sink, with all
the costs and delay associated with design
changes and customer approvals. What they
really needed was a complete water control
assembly that was compatible with the
existing sinks, pre-tested and ready to install.
Solution
IMI Precision Engineering was able to
combine a proven solenoid valve with a large
plastic poppet valve on a custom mounting
plate designed to fit the sinks already in
service. The new assembly is engineered
to significantly reduce potential leak points.
Assemblies are tested and validated
before they are shipped. And IMI Precision
Engineering was able to deliver drawings, 3D
models and initial product to meet the OEM's
time frame. Based on a successful first article
inspection, IMI Precision Engineering began
shipping faucet assemblies ahead of the
original schedule.
Faucet control assembly saves
OEM expense of total redesign
