Plan Tech, Inc. selected to produce thousands of urethane spring locating pins and bushings

LOUDON, NH., October 28, 2019 —Plan Tech, Inc. selected to produce thousands of urethane spring locating pins and bushings. These dime-sized parts are critical components during high-speed assembly in a very large production facility. Many different sizes of sping location pins and bushings have been found in catalogs but none were the required shape and size for this application. These custom molded urethane spring locating pins help the alignment of a bolt being installed to property catch the receiving fixture. Without the urethane spring locating pins and bushings, production was damaging bolts and fixtures resulting in downtime and a high cost of repairs.
