Custom and Special Solutions by WDS Components 

At WDS Components, we understand that standard products do not always meet the specific needs of every project. That is why we offer tailored solutions designed to meet your exact requirements. With decades of expertise in industrial components, we deliver customised designs, specialised modifications, and unique product solutions for diverse industries worldwide.

Our Expertise in Custom Components

Leveraging our extensive catalogue and engineering expertise, WDS Components specialises in creating special-purpose products across multiple categories. Whether you are improving ergonomics, increasing durability, or meeting precise technical specifications, we’ve got you covered.

Examples of Our Previous Special Solutions:

1. Bespoke Torque Knob for Laboratory Equipment 
   We developed a custom torque knob specifically designed to prevent overtightening in sensitive laboratory equipment. This project required the use of stainless steel, including special grades that could be heat treated for enhanced performance. Additionally, the component was engineered to be lightweight, ensuring it was both functional and ergonomic for its application. 
2. Custom Index Plungers for Thin-Walled Material 
   WDS provided bespoke index plungers with a shorter overall length to suit applications involving thin-walled materials. This design challenge was addressed by developing a custom shorter spring length while ensuring that the plungers maintained the required functionality and durability. 
3. Bespoke Ground Location Pins for Complex Jigs and Fixtures 
   We produced precision ground location pins with varying diameters and high concentricity requirements. These pins were heat-treated to meet the specific demands of complex jig and fixture applications, ensuring accuracy and reliability in critical manufacturing processes. 
4. Custom Pressed Steel Hinge for the Trailer Industry 
   For a customer in the trailer industry, WDS designed and manufactured a robust, custom pressed steel hinge. This hinge was engineered to withstand heavy-duty usage and harsh environmental conditions, delivering a long-lasting and reliable solution for the end application. 
5. Simple Modifications and Adjustments 
   In addition to complex bespoke solutions, WDS frequently undertakes simpler modifications to standard components. These can include adjustments such as modifying lengths, diameters, or thread sizes, as well as changing the material, surface finish, or painted colour to align with customer specifications. These tailored changes allow customers to achieve optimal performance while minimising the need for design compromises.

How to Request a Custom Solution

1. Consultation
   Start by reaching out to our experienced team to discuss your specific requirements. Whether you are facing a technical challenge, have a unique application, or need modifications to an existing component, we are here to help. Provide as much detail as possible, including dimensions, materials, tolerances, and any performance expectations, so we can fully understand your needs. 
2. Specification
   Once we understand your project requirements, our engineering team will collaborate with you to develop a fully customised solution. During this phase, detailed 2D manufacturing drawings are created for your approval. We can also provide CAD files in multiple formats to integrate seamlessly with your systems, so you can ensure the design fits perfectly in your assembly. 
3. Production
   Upon final design approval, we transition to production. If prototypes or sample units are needed for testing and validation, we are fully equipped to accommodate. Our team can provide small-batch runs or prototypes to verify the design's performance before full-scale production begins, giving you complete confidence in the solution we deliver. 
4. Delivery and Scheduling
   We understand that timing is critical to your project’s success. WDS offers flexible delivery options, including scheduled production runs and call-off orders, to align with your timelines and operational needs.
