Rapid Prototyping:
Rapid prototyping takes designs from 3D modeling or computer aided design
(CAD) software to create parts for evaluation. The 3D printer transforms these
digital designs by stacking thin horizontal cross-sections, which creates successive
layers until the model is complete. A simple idea can quickly become a working prototype.
Bar-Coding:
Gallagher Fluid Seals can bar-code all packaging materials, which helps to easily and quickly identify details such as dates, batches, weights, quantities, and dimensions. Bar-coding and asset-tagging are critical to tracking and maintaining inventory.
Color-Coding:
Using color is a simple visual control tool to help employees easily identify different products. By color-coding products help you enhance corporate efficiency. This method has also been used to improve safety, quality, and productivity.
Coatings:
Gallagher Fluid Seals offers a variety of surface treatments for O-rings and molded rubber parts, in the form of dry or wet coatings. Surface treatments are used for numerous reasons; such as friction reduction, ease of installation, and identification.

With today's fast-paced, integrated production lines, identification marks are crucial to differentiate between visually similar O-rings.

From an intricate logo to customer part numbers, we can provide identification markings that best fit the necessary requirements. The uses are broad enough to accommodate any market and application.
