FAILURE ANALYSIS

Learning from mistakes and fixing them are very important in the production process. So we incorporate failure review/analysis of each production lot yielding constant improvement of quality and boosting value. FCC GROUP uses a manufacturing execution system to ensure the manufacturing process runs smoothly and reinforce your products quality reducing the risk for failure.

DEAD FRONT PANELS

FCC is an experienced manufacturer of front panels, or dead fronts made from aluminum, FR-4, PTFE and steel. Front panels are available with flanges, fasteners, flush handles, hinges cutouts, gaskets, labels and various finishes.

Dead fronts are sunlight, heat, abrasion and chemical resistant and can be used to identify equipment controls and as well as operating and safety instructions for personnel.
Along with blank front panels we can combine them with nameplates, membrane switches or other product identification materials to provide a desired appearance for printed graphic presentations, name branding recognition and logo representation.

CUSTOM MANUFACTURED NAMEPLATES

For your product identification needs, we have a wide range of materials and technologies used to produce eye-catching nameplates. Epec can supply etched or permanent silk screened industrial nameplates – made from Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Brass, Ceramic, Plastic, and others.

These custom, information and identification products can be manufactured to commercial specifications and to withstand harsh environments as needed. Instructions, information, warnings, serial codes and inventory control methods may be included with the product identification graphics or stand-alone as a separate plate or label.

Some other examples of nameplates include:

Product Identification Labels: Part number and model, serialization, date, specifications including schematics, bar codes, custom logos, color options

Product Index: Graduation scale and number marking

Control Panel Labels: Function specification, warnings, multi-color

Industrial Process Labels: Function, Location, Warnings, color options

When ever a company needs to communicate a message or vital information to customers, equipment operators or employees they often turn to nameplates to do the job.

MEMBRANE SWITCHES

FCC is a custom manufacturer of electronic identification products which include nameplates, decals, graphic overlays, and membrane switches.

Our capabilities include digital printing, automatic and semi-automatic screen printing, prototyping, inspection, production assembly, in circuit and functional testing, RF/EMI shielding, embossing, texturing, hard coating, graphic design and development assistance, top and sub surface printing.
