In-house Processes
Specialised Departments
Jendamark maintains the highest possible quality standards by retaining control of a number of core development, production and testing processes in-house through our specialised departments.
Precision Machine Shop
Jendamark believes that the machining of parts and tools is fundamental to the overall performance of the machines we build for our customers. Therefore, we have invested in expanding our precision machine shop, which stands among the most precise and accurate in the world.
We pride ourselves on manufacturing only the highest quality parts with the lowest annual scrap rates. In South Africa, we have developed our own four-year, in-house apprenticeship programme, endorsed by the Department of Higher Education and Training, to ensure that we build a talent pool of artisans who do things the Jendamark way.
Metrology Department
Testing and measuring is a critical part of the manufacturing process. Jendamark’s in-house metrology department plays a key verification role in confirming that any manufactured parts or tools used on our assembly lines – whether produced by our precision machine shop or by a supplier – have been correctly and accurately made.
Jendamark goes beyond simply manufacturing a tool according to the supplied design. We put the tool through its paces, testing it with the required materials and optimising the tool until it behaves in a highly repeatable way.
This version is then scanned and becomes the final drawing. Should a customer break a segment of a tool during their manufacturing process, our goal is to replace it seamlessly, so that the customer has the best chance of continuing production exactly where they left off.
Innovations Department
A team of highly experienced electrical and mechanical engineers make up our innovations department. As the name suggests, this team assists our customers to find better, more efficient and cost-effective ways of achieving their production goals.
This technical support team works with the sales department to review a project concept and find practical ways to refine particular processes or improve outcomes like cycle times that will inform the overall design. Sometimes it involves the introduction of new technologies or tailoring an effective modular solution that is proven to work.
From the mechanical side, the team looks at ways to customise machines or reconfigure building blocks on a line to accommodate customer requirements such as multivariant production or changes in production volumes. The team are also part of regular design reviews to ensure that the project meets the customer expectations within budget.
After the mechanical team has reviewed the machine requirements, the electrical engineers work with the design team to find the best way to control the system. By streamlining the controls, and introducing more modular solutions, the customer can benefit from faster commissioning and installation on site and also make their future fault-finding and maintenance processes easier to manage.
Critical assembly processes
Our specialised departments play an important role in developing and implementing our high-precision, expert technologies.
