Does 0.2mm really make a difference?

In the heart of an automobile? Absolutely it does.

Keeping machinery running, whether heavy-duty lifting vehicles or the latest in ultra-light performance cars, requires precision parts that are overwhelmingly made of injection-molded plastic.

Varying in size, length, and diameter, but still designed and manufactured for the same purpose, oil, and hydraulic filters for example are at the heart of an extraordinarily wide range of machinery and are vital to keeping machines running.  With one main purpose of catching and removing particles from oil, the difference between less efficiency, delays or even total failure comes down to a few millimeters of exceptionally formed plastic.

By utilizing smartly designed tools that are purpose-built to minimize residue and process materials using the lowest power-consumption possible, whether requiring a perfectly made screw-thread, an exacting filter cap, or a specific 0.2mm notch inside a tube, molding such parts requires very specific skills and machinery but the result, if done right, is perfection time and time again.

So, does 0.2mm really make a difference? For the safety, reliability, and filtering of anything from shards of metal to dust particles in the oil lubricating machines which power our modern life, including in the heart of our favorite car, absolutely it does.

Creating multiple parts and models, including the AFSI tube in the image below, ADIS Tachov s.r.o. is one such company that offers such perfection and accuracy across the millions of these parts it produces annually for distribution to EU and US markets. Taking recent delivery of the newest generation of tooling, and working more than ever with green materials, that output and excellence is due to expand further still throughout 2022.
