Manufacturing process

DSPS Engineering specialises in crafting customised high-tech engine components and assemblies for clients operating in challenging environments near performance limits. Our company employs a "zero defects" total quality management process, ensuring traceability from raw materials to obsolescence.

Parts are meticulously managed, guaranteeing design conformance throughout their global service life and under specified conditions. We firmly believe in the binary approach to task execution: it's either done correctly or incorrectly.

Prototyping

All components produced by DSPS Engineering are designed in-house. Our prototyping starts by going through various CAE processes, to ensure that the components are fit for purpose. Prototypes are then manufactured, tested, and modified, if necessary, before going into production. The component on the left is the 4-port plate used on the 3 Lug ALS valve.

Management & supervision

All our parts are designed to fully meet the client’s requirements. A major aspect of the design is the manufacturing process. Many of our designs are complex multi-material assemblies, which must be constructed in a precise manner to function correctly; there are no half measures or shortcuts.

We achieve this precision by breaking down the complex production and assembly process into small simple steps. The premise is very simple; we create a stepwise process which guarantees a perfectly conforming component or assembly. The process is followed diligently to ensure all subsequent products will be of the same quality.

Manufacturing techniques

At DSPS Engineering, we take pride in consistently selecting the most suitable manufacturing technology to achieve superior finished products tailored to their intended purposes. Electron Beam Welding is a technique we extensively utilise, ensuring controlled, repeatable, and exceptionally high-quality welds.

Manufacturing workflow process

DSPS Engineering is able to manage a project from initial concept discussions through to final assembly & implementation.

The workflow process is as follows:

  • Meeting with customer to discuss requirements
  • Initial design schemes
  • Presentation of ideas and schemes
  • Detail design
  • Manufacture

Once parts are manufactured, they will come to ACL/DSPS and undergo the following:

  • Goods inwards
  • Inspection

Once passed inspection, the process is as follows:

  • Goods go to store

When assemblies are required by a customer:

  • Parts booked out of stores
  • Parts are cleaned in Ultrasonic cleaner
  • If required, Clean Room is used (hydraulic assemblies)
  • Components assembled
  • Components tested
  • Individual part marking – in house laser etching
  • Life records completed
  • Goods despatched
