Single-piece solution simplifies, speeds, and economizes

Situation: A major medical OEM was using a very
labor-intensive, six-step assembly process for an oxygen
service connection.

Solution: Working with a distributor, Parker developed a
customized, single-piece filtering cartridge, cleaned for
oxygen use. The OEM was able to eliminate five components
and five assembly steps, saving $19.88 per unit. With 3,000
units annually, the OEM was able to reduce total costs by
$59,640.
Benefits: Reduced assembly time and installation labor
costs • Reduced type and quantity of components • Reduced
potential leak points • Reduced total product costs
