- 2. About Davies Molding In 1933, the Harry Davies Molding Company began with only seven molding presses and three punch presses, located in downtown Chicago. The small, single-room company was started during a time when the economy was depressed and work was scarce. Yet with hard work and determination, Davies Molding soon established strong Davies owns an extensive range of tools and molds that have been designed to give our customers the widest selection of styles and mountings available. With over 600 products and 9000 variations in size, shape, color and molded-in metal threaded inserts, Davies can supply top quality parts engineered to meet virtually any customer requirement. Our parts are produced utilizing both compression and injection molding equipment using the highest quality thermoset and thermoplastic materials. Families of parts include clamping, instrument, pointer, control, ball, lever, tapered, two point, soft touch, and two-shot. We also have a wide variety of multipurpose handles available in various finishes, materials and shapes to accommodate virtually any grip requirements. No matter the need for a plastic, nickel, stainless, aluminum or chrome handle, you will find it at Davies Molding. Davies Molding offers a selection of instrument cases and covers for the electrical, hardware and mechanical industries. These enclosures, as well as most Davies’ products, are available in phenolic materials, incorporating high heat, mark and scratch resistance. The cases can also be ordered in an impact resistant ABS material. Please download our catalog today at www.daviesmolding.com or request one by phone today. OVER 9000 STANDARD KNOBS, HANDLES, AND CASESInsert Molding Expertise Davies specializes in loading inserts (threaded fasteners) directly into components as plastic solidifies around the mounting. This process maximizes torque strength for demanding requirements. We stock thousands of different styles of inserts to minimize lead times, including both screw-machined parts and cold-headed studs. THREADED INSERT Standard Material: Brass, steel, or zinc-plated THREADED INSERT THRU-HOLE Standard Material: Brass, steel, or zinc-plated BUSHING Standard Material: Brass, steel, or zinc-plated roots as a quality plastic molder. During the 1940’s, Davies Molding became a supplier of phenolic plastic components for the World War II war effort. Afterwards, it expanded its capabilities and has thrived ever since. In the fall of 1991, Davies Molding moved to its current location in Carol Stream, Illinois to further enable its expansion. The 99,000 square foot factory houses 72 presses ranging from 25 to 500 tons of clamp force. Molding capabilities include injection, compression, transfer and two-shot co-injection. Specials & Value-Added Services At Davies, we know that not every application is well suited for a standard part. That’s why we offer “specials” where a different insert may be required or perhaps a secondary operation added. Most of our parts can be customized to meet your specific needs and requirements. Parts can be modified by color, finish, material, size, insert type, and more. Davies offers the following secondary operations: ■ Drilling ■ Hot Stamping ■ Chrome Plating ■ Laser Engraving ■ Custom Color Matching ■ Silk Screen ■ Machining ■ Pad Printing ■ Bagging ■ Turning ■ Packaging ■ Assembly ■ Ultrasonic Welding ■ Branding ■ Kitting ■ Buff and Polish ■ Paint Fill ■ Vacuum Metalizing ■ Tapping ■ Decorative Pointers ■ Paint Coatings ■ Sand Blasting ■ 3-D CAD Imaging ■ Decorative Inlays PROJECTING STUD Standard Material: Steel, stainless steel, or zinc-plated HEX NUT (Standard or Nylon Locking Ring) Standard Material: Steel or zinc-plated SET SCREW (Slotted or Socket) Standard Material: Steel, zinc-plated, or black oxide finish
- 3. Concept Every great idea, no matter how simple or complex, has to start somewhere.

- 6. 3-D & CAD Modeling We have highly qualified engineers in-house that will take a personalized approach to each project. Coupling a wealth of experience with creative design advances, our engineering group will establish exact specifications for your particular application. Using computer-aided design (CAD) we’ll combine our ideas with yours to develop viable, productive solutions to your performance criteria. In addition, we have complete tool room capabilities including state-of-the-art CNC equipment. 350 Kehoe Blvd, Carol Stream, IL 60188 800-554-9208 www.daviesmolding.com Quality Control Davies Molding is ISO 9001:2008 certified, so you can rest assured knowing that quality will be an important part of our process, from concept all the way through production. A copy of our certificate is available upon request. From our suppliers to our employees, from production systems to our management team, quality awareness is universal and pervasive. The quality control that begins at our receiving dock with resin and insert delivery continues through our entire molding and finishing operations. All incoming components and materials must meet strict specifications, along with continual in-process inspection audits and outgoing quality control standards. As a part of our continual in-process inspection, we perform a quality check at the following times during production: Process parameter set-up - First piece analysis- In-process analysis - Final audit. By doing a thorough inspection at these stages, you can be sure you will receive the best plastic part possible. Customer Service An essential part of our customer service relationship is the continuing program of providing specialized services, assuring satisfaction, and maintaining long lasting business relationships. Spearheading our customer-first approach is a dedicated and knowledgeable staff of customer service and marketing personnel. Please give one of our trained professionals a call today! I S O 9 0 0 1 : 2 0 0 8 C E R T I F I E D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) When modifying or designing a new part, Davies uses a computer model of a material or design that is stressed and analyzed for specific results. FEA uses a complex system of points called nodes that create a mesh and are programmed to contain the material and structural properties to define how the part will react under certain loading conditions. This allows Davies’ engineers to verify whether or not a proposed design will perform to the client’s specifications prior to molding the part, saving customers unnecessary expense and lost time. Expertise in Tooling & Engineering Mold Flow Simulation Plastics simulation software allows our engineers to determine the manufacturability of your part in the early stages of the design. This is beneficial because it helps prevent any potential problems such as air traps, weld lines, warpage, shrinkage, and sinks that can cause delays in production and also ensures that the material chosen will provide the best performance, longevity, and the highest cost savings for your project.
