Capabilities
Six capabilities, one production line.
From design and tooling through sheet metal stamping, pipe bending, welding, surface finishing and dimensional inspection, SAPL runs the full development-to-production chain in-house.
Design & development
Product and process design, and tooling development, run on industry-standard CAD, CAM and forming-simulation software, supported by a dedicated machine shop for jig and die manufacture.
Press shop
A fleet of hydraulic, mechanical and pneumatic presses covering a wide tonnage range, for stamping sheet metal parts from prototype through mass production.
55 presses · 15-300 tons
Pipe shop
NC and CNC pipe bending machines and hydraulic pipe flaring equipment, producing formed pipe components to automotive tolerances.
Welding shop
CO₂, spot, ARC, gas and induction welding processes, matched to the joining requirements of each customer's component and applicable standards.
25 welding machines across five processes
Quality inspection
Dimensional inspection using a FARO Arm with laser scanner alongside conventional gauging equipment, applied at sample, trial and production stages.
Process
From feasibility to mass production, in six stages.
One accountable team carries every part from first quotation to on-time delivery, with the customer signing off at each gate.
Stage 01
Feasibility & quotation
We analyze the customer's requirement through in-depth research, supported by engineering tools, and submit the best possible proposal.
Stage 02
Design
A process and tooling design is developed for efficient, economical mass production of the customer's part.
Stage 03
Development
Once design is complete, our development team manufactures tooling using SPM (special-purpose) machines.
Stage 04
Trial production
A line verification process is performed in the presence of the customer's team to confirm the facility is ready for mass production.
Stage 05
Inspection
After tooling development, an OTS (off-tool sample) is produced and inspected by both the SAPL quality team and the customer's quality department.
Stage 06
Mass production
Parts are delivered on time against customer orders, with consistent quality assurance throughout the production run.
