THE SITUATION
A long-standing customer approached HAYLEY 247 DEXIS with a serious lead-time challenge. A critical shifting clutch assembly required replacement, but sourcing a new unit from the original equipment manufacturer would take months – leaving their production exposed to unnecessary risk, delay, and potential downtime. Waiting simply wasn’t an option. They needed the component manufactured quickly, precisely, and to the same quality standard as the OEM—but within a fraction of the delivery time.
THE SOLUTION
Our engineering and manufacturing teams got to work immediately, assessing the existing clutch assembly and determining the fastest route to re-manufacture. HAYLEY 247 DEXIS applied its full reverse-engineering capability, including:
– Dimensional inspection
– Material Verification
– Analysis of wear features
– Accurate reproduction of critical geometry
Once data was captured, we moved into accelerated production using our in-house machining and fabrication capability. Every stage from programming and tooling to finishing and assembly was carried out with tight coordination to ensure quality without delay. Despite the complexity of the component, the new clutch assembly was produced in just a couple of weeks, delivering a turnaround dramatically faster than the OEM lead time.
THE RESULT
The finished shifting clutch assembly was delivered on schedule and fully ready for installation – allowing the customer to avoid extended downtime and maintain operational continuity. This project demonstrates HAYLEY 247 DEXIS ability to:
– Reverse engineer complex components
– Manufacture cost-effectively
– Overcome long OEM lead times
– Deliver fast solutions without compromising quality
When critical components are needed quickly, HAYLEY 247 DEXIS provides responsive, high-quality, engineering that keeps industry moving.
