Manufacturing King Springs are manufactured at our Head Office and Plant on Queensland's Gold Coast. Our large, modern factory complex, comprising of 3 buildings spanning 8,000 square metres, has been purpose built from the ground up. It includes computer controlled coiling machines, electronic furnaces, Automatic bar peeling process, and cambering machines which have been designed and custom built by King Springs to ensure all areas of our manufacturing process are of the highest standard.
The following is a brief step-by-step description
The material is heated in electric furnaces to 1000 degrees Celsius, formed on computer controlled machines and hardened by quenching in oil to achieve a hardness of 62 HRC. The spring is then tempered by electronic controlled heat treatment to 500 degrees Celsius and hardness of 52 HRC. Spring end grinding is applied if required. Shot peening of the surface is completed to increase durability. Every spring is solid scragged, tested and a full and final inspection is carried out. All coil springs are powder coated for the most durable finish and offering maximum presentation. The springs are finally labelled by inkjet, packed as pairs and ready for shipping. Large stocks are held for immediate supply. All springs are manufactured under a quality system certified as complying with ISO-9001:2008. |
