Meeting The Demands Of The Industry
Thermal management is crucial across many industries, and ineffective heating or heat distribution can grind your operations to a halt. Each application is unique, and you need thermal management components that do the specific task at hand. From overcoming size restraints to components durable enough to withstand repeated thermal cycling, it’s important that your components can integrate seamlessly into the larger system at work while meeting your design requirements.
Optimized flow field channel designs / Complex channel options.
Custom complementary components, such as microscreens and meshes.
Precision manufacturing for tight channel radiuses and depths.
Practical and durable metal and base laminate materials.
In-house tooling and rapid prototyping.
ISO-certified process.
Compliance with regulatory standards across regions and industries.
Our manufacturing expertise includes a range of products specific to thermal management. Our extensive experience manufacturing components for these applications means you can trust a Switzer component to deliver.
There are two common types of flexible heaters: wire wound and etched foil heating elements. Etched foil heating elements have become the engineer’s choice for the many advantages they can bring to an application.
Chances are, your needs are specific. And our expertise is extensive. We want to learn as many of those details before taking on your project. When we know precisely what you need, we can develop a streamlined plan to produce it – in fact, we may be able to deliver more than you think.
Let’s bring your design to life so you (and we) can properly vet it. Our process actually allows for several designs to be arrayed on a single sheet, giving you more prototyping options than before. Producing your component exactly the way you need it is our only goal – often, prototyping is the best way to get there.
Our photochemical machining process opens up a world of possibilities for your components. Every phase of this multi-step process is exceedingly precise and subject to stringent quality control – including 1st article inspections to guarantee dimensions. Our production processes are capable of both high and low volumes, and our production times are typically measured in days, not weeks, so you get your parts sooner.
When it comes to precision parts, Switzer delivers. Specifically, we deliver in economical bundles or whatever packaging arrangements you request. We understand that accurate deliveries are critical to your performance metrics, so we make a simple promise: if your delivery is late, we pay the freight.
