Services and Capabilities
In addition to the products we currently fabricate and stock, our extensive experience in manufacturing rubber and plastic products has given us a distinct advantage over our competitors in several areas. Below you will find some of the other services we offer our customers. C.E. Conover is registered AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015. Stringent quality controls prevail with every phase of production to insure a standard of excellence for every job.
Project Planning Assistance
We can provide suggestions for moldability, compound or material selection. Conover will aid you in completing your material selection with minimal effort.
Experienced Compound Assistance
To cope with difficult sealing problems, C.E. Conover has an array of formulations for extremes of fluid capability, temperature, friction, hardness and resistance to compression set.
Machining
Production equipment includes: precision lathes, CNC machines, Milling stations and screw machines. We produce machined plastics at +/-001” as a standard.
Mold & Tool Making
We have complete mold/tool making capabilities to meet your specific design requirements.
Rubber to Metal Bonding
The rubber to metal bonding process includes encapsulating the metal component into a mold cavity to allow the rubber component to bond and vulcanize to the substrate of the metal. The process lends to a seal that incorporates two components into one part. This technique increases seal performance and reduces assembly cost.
Molding
Molding capabilities include compression, transfer, and isostatic techniques.
- Compression and transfer molding are high volume molding techniques suitable for molding complex, high strength, intricate parts.
- Isostatic molding is a unique process where molding pressures are applied evenly in all directions around the part being molded. The isostatic process yields a molded product that exhibits equal properties both axially and radially.
Small Lot Capability
Conover can facilitate pre-production prototype or models to your specifications. This process will allow you to make minor changes before final tooling and full scale production.
