8. core values
Be Unique
We don’t mimic others. Uniqueness is the value of our existence.
Embrace & Create Change
Think it through, build up your courage and make your case to initiate change. If there is no precedent, make it.
KISS : Keep it Simple & Speedy
Let’s simplify and speed up.
Act With Your Own Initiative
Start your own engine and move forward.
Focus on Your Own Responsibility
Define your work and perform it as you are meant to and beyond.
Put Your Heart Into It
Contribution comes from the heart. Passion should mark everything you do.
Enjoy Your Work
Let’s eliminate bureaucracy that disrupts our enjoyable work environment.
ADVANEX has 7 core values that are shared across the globe.
Our core values are integral to our business and help us to exceed the expectations of our customers, suppliers and team members.
It is our working style and sense of value. It is important for us to keep them at the front of our mind and review regularly.

9. Accreditations
Across the globe we hold various accreditations relevant to a number of markets including IATF 16949:2016

13. Our components

14. Insert Moulding
Materials
Insert Moulding components combine metal and polymer materials. This requires various factors to be correct to achieve precision components at efficient production speeds
Advanex combines plastic injection moulding technology, with extensive metal stamping skills, in a single production line to achieve the highest quality from high volume production.

15. Insert Moulding Example

16. Wire Products
Wire Products
Producing all types of coil springs and wire shapes from 0.1mm to 14.00mm wire diameter. In a wide variety of materials from carbon spring steels to alloy wires.
Catering for low volume prototyping manufacture to high volume production manufacturing.

17. Wire shapes
Optimum design
Wire shapes can be used to provide a spring function, or they can be used as rigid members to provide location for mating parts. There is an infinite variety of shapes, and our design team can help determine the optimum shape and size to achieve your needs.
usage
Wire Forms have many uses and possess an equally large array of shapes and sizes. They  can be anything from a load supporting link with negligible deflection to a tension applying component where a static load is necessary for proper function of an assembly. Other applications might include conductors, clips, or clamps. In some cases they may be able to replace conventional springs and help eliminate the need for other components, therefore, reducing the associated costs.
Advanex have experience and knowledge of wire forming a diverse range of specialist materials, and as small as just 15 microns.
Our engineering and design team can support our customers with the design and development of the optimum product and production solution for their application.

18. Coilthread®
Materials
The standard range is manufactured from diamond shaped cold-rolled Type 304 Stainless Steel wire (AS7245), which is finished to provide a surface which is exceedingly smooth, virtually eliminating friction-induced thread erosion.
Free of foreign object debris
No tang to break off, retrieve, lose or count. The Tangless design saves time and reduces the risk of foreign objects remaining within a critical application.
Bi directional
Bi-directional design eliminates the need to orientate the inserts for installation significantly reducing installation and inspection time.
Strip Feed packaging also speeds installation time.
Reusable
The quick easy removal means no damaged threads and this non-destructive removal prevents damage to expensive machined parts or castings.
The world’s leading wire thread insert. Installation and removal time are up to 40% quicker than traditional inserts. Tangless Inserts conform to all major global specifications.

19. pressings
Materials
Spring steels, stainless steels, Copper alloys, Nickel alloys, and a range of special materials such as Titanium, Elgilloy, Hastelloy, Kanthal etc.
Processes
Hand manufacturing, Press work, Multi-slide manufacture, Photo- etching, Laser Cutting, Wire eroding, Vibro-deburring, Barrelling, Shot peening.
Finishes
Electroplating, Organic Zinc coatings, Autophoretic painting, Phosphating, Oiling, or as required.
Reduced Scrap
This reduction in scrap material benefits our customers with not only the cost but reduces the overall affect to the environment.
There is an infinite variety of shapes of flat springs and pressings only limited by imagination, but it requires the support of an experienced design team to ensure the right design solution is achieved for functionality and form.

20. lockone®
Revolutionary approach
Advanex are proud to introduce the new revolution in thread locking, with our spring technology and expertise we have designed a range (M5 to M24) of special spring devices for preventing nut & bolt joints from loosening through vibration.
Ease of use
The spring is applied using a normal spanner or socket wrench and when the nut is tightened onto a bolt, it grips the bolt thread and prevents the nut from loosening.
Our initial tests shows that the spring device performs as a viable locking solution, but is also a re-usable and non destructive method of locking and unlocking the nuts and bolt joint.

21. Deep Drawn
process
Deep drawing is a process which uses tensile forces to stretch metal to a cylindrical shape, these have been used across a wide range of industries including automotive.
Function
From a functional standpoint, deep drawn metal forming produces high strength and light weight parts as well as incorporating shapes and other forms impossible with some other manufacturing processes.
Cost saving
Deep drawn metal forming is particularly economical at high volumes, where reduced processing cost signficantly lowers piece-part cost. At smaller volumes, the process can be more economical than progressive die stamping due to reduced tool costs.
advantages
Deep drawn components offer the advantage of being able to replace several components within a device or product with one formed part.
Advanex can currently produce components well in excess of forty times length as opposed to diameter (LDR 40:1) but we are constantly challenging our technology and are pushing the boundaries.

23. Insert collars
Plastic Assembly
Ignition coil
Camshaft rotation sensor
Automotive sensor cluster assembly
Advanex Insert Collars are compression limiters designed to safeguard plastic the components of an assembly.

24. Insert Collars
Our current supply list currently includes parts that are sold through our Japanese, Chinese and Asian operations. The parts have a variety of applications which include:
Higher strength has been gained by new shape of dimple "prism"
Besides on it, the gap is less than 0.1mm. Therefore trouble at molding process can be reduced, which means that it can reduce the cost.
