Learn how one manufacturer saved time and money while increasing quality…
Today's sophisticated customers are asking for increased quality and lower
costs. One way manufacturers can respond to these demanding customer needs
is to replace their mechanical feet with 3M's pressure-sensitive adhesive(PSA)
bumpers, a less expensive way to get results while speeding
up the manufacturing process.
 |
3M Bumpon™ Protective Products are used as feet, stops,
spacers and cushions in many applications. One customer, 3M Visual Systems,
switched from mechanical feet to Bumpon feet and were able to:
- Improve worker safety
- Save both material and labor costs
- Eliminate corrosion sites
|
 Visual Systems used a mechanical foot screwed in to the bottom of the projector and in 1998 switched to the Bumpon products. Benefits to switching are:
- Saving 48 cents per machine in material costs
- Saving the labor cost and time to apply using tools, drilling holes, etc.
- Eliminating the use of an application tool that caused ergonomic issues
- Decreasing workers compensation costs due to reduction in ergonomic issues with the easy-to-apply Bumpon Products.
"Since we began using the Bumpon PSA feet, we've never had a
single complaint about the bumpers falling off. This product has saved us money,
solved ergonomic issues and has improved our manufacturing process," says Harland
Twinnereim, Manufacturing Engineer Specialist. Visual Systems began manufacturing
overhead projectors in 1960 and offers many electronic projectors including a new
wall mount unit.
