Customer Solution:

Identifying the Problem

YSI Environmental designs, builds and services precision Water Quality Monitoring Instruments and Data Acquisition Systems. In severe fouling environments over a long period of time the accuracy of some of their sensors was being hindered by biological fouling.
 

Severe barnacle coverage adversely
affected performance and accuracy

Understanding & Serving the Need
   

YSI needed help in taking a wiper design that improved the sensor performance to the next level. Felton engineered a solution that would provide a self cleaning capability that would improve data quality and be cost effective to operate.
  • Face-to-face meetings at YSI
  • Practical experience - Felton had worked on similar problems before.
  • Understand how it will work with their operation - Battery power crucial to YSI
  • Long-term relationships - We have continued the relationship and updates to their products with new applications.

Felton Engineering
   

Our engineers took an active role in the YSI project.  They utilized their expertise and years of experience to develop a custom assembly ideal to soling their problem.

Felton Engineering not only develops a solution, but we can design its implementation and any tooling that may be necessary.

This capability removes the constraints typically encountered with suppliers offering canned product choices:

  • Single source solution
  • Felton responsible for every aspect of your project
  • Largest Custom Brush Manufacturer
  • In-House design engineers for tooling.

Manufacturing & Quality
   

At this point we involve our world-class manufacturing and quality teams to check project feasibility and help develop cost structures.
  • Manufacturer of all brush construction types
  • ISO 9001:2000

When necessary, Felton will develop prototypes and pre-production samples:

  • Test solution
  • Test process
  • Dimensional Capabilities
  • Tolerances

Felton will then provide you with a complete proposal based upon your projected requirements:

  • Predictable costs
  • No surprises

In-Plant Technical Seminars
Felton offers a service unique in the brush industry with our in-plant technical seminars. Felton technical specialists will arrange to conduct a brush design, materials and application seminar at your facility.

This two hour program and follow-up individual design session with your engineers, can be generalized or tailored to meet specific needs relating to your company products and applications.

A minimum of ten participants is desired.

This combination of lecture and round table discussion has been well received by engineer attendees.

For information on scheduling a Felton Brush design and application seminar at your facility contact your local Felton technical representative.
