Design and Manufacturing of a Differential Switch for the Filtration Industry
This differential switch was designed to for a client in the filtration industry. The client required a differential switch with both electrical and visual indicators to inform the user when a system required maintenance. We developed a product that could meet our client's technical and economic specifications, including compact design, specified range of set points, cost effectiveness and filter specific, by using modular components.
After meeting with the client to approve 3D CAD models of conceptual designs, prototypes were created for evaluation and pressure and cycle testing and client satisfaction. We used the additional feedback to finalize and perfect the design. The final product had the added benefit of reducing production costs, further lowering the prices which satisfied everybody's requirements.
