Get The Right Fit
JADCO • Rich F.2024-02-28T11:05:14-05:00Woodworkers have a saying among that applies perfectly to wear resistant steel:
When you do not measure accurately, you waste time, money and material. Worse yet – you still have to make the repairs. This means your labor & material budget is blown.
Measuring flat plate is easy with a tape measure, and most can do it accurately. One wear steel industry competitor, is well known as being overly challenged for trying to read a tape measure correctly.
After having to remake several projects due to incorrect dimensions, the company bought him a tape measure with fractions printed on it to avoid future errors.
NO SUCH WORRIES WITH JADCO
JADCO has a well-earned reputation in the wear resistant steel industry for delivering projects that fit properly the first time.
However this doesn’t mean we are strictly tied to old school methods and haven’t kept up with technology.
To ensure complex projects fit as well as the simple ones, we utilize scanning tools to assure your parts fit perfectly, every time. This works particularly well when the area is difficult to access.
Utilizing state-of-the-art scanning tools, allows JADCO to deliver your complex parts that fit the first time, every time.
Heavy equipment is subject to abuse and stresses over the years, meaning it may not fit the same measurements today as it did when it first rolled out of the factory. This means when your OEM replacement parts show up, it may not fit the same as it did originally.
The owner had two new loaders, and wisely planned to install bucket wear liners; before they started to show significant wear. He had purchased two identical loaders and wanted wear liners installed in each of them.
SURPRISINGLY, THE TWO NEW BUCKETS JADCO MEASURED WERE NOT THE SAME SIZE!
The length of the bucket bottom straight, from the back of the base edge to where the bucket starts to curve up the back; was 1.5” LONGER on one of the buckets than the other.
Had we measured just one bucket and delivered two wear liners, he would have had one of the liners short or too long. He might have thought we didn’t measure it correctly, when it was the equipment that was different. It surprised everyone involved.
BECAUSE WE TOOK THE TIME TO VERIFY EACH BUCKETS DIMENSIONS, THE JADCO LINERS FIT EACH MACHINE PERFECTLY
