Designwinds combines metal fabrication, brazing, coil production, and assembly under a single operation. Engineering and quality are integrated across each stage of production.
Sheet metal cutting, forming, and machining for thermal component housings, manifolds, headers, end plates, and structural assemblies. Materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and copper-aluminum alloy combinations.
Fabrication output feeds directly into coil production and brazing without intermediate handoffs between suppliers, reducing lead time and dimensional variance across complex assemblies.
Furnace and torch brazing for finned-tube and microchannel assemblies. Process control supports both copper and aluminum constructions used across our product lines, including brazed plate-and-fin heat recovery cores.
Brazing parameters are documented and maintained for each product configuration. Joints are subject to visual and pressure inspection before assemblies advance to coil production or final assembly.
Fin-and-tube and microchannel coil manufacturing for commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial applications. Coil geometries — row depth, fin pitch, tube diameter, circuit arrangement — are configured to customer specifications.
Coil production includes fin pressing, tube expansion, U-bend forming, and circuiting. Microchannel coil production runs on brazed aluminum lines independent of the fin-and-tube cell.
Integration of coils, headers, manifolds, controls, and ancillary hardware into finished thermal components ready for customer installation or onward integration into OEM equipment.
Assembly is staged against customer build sheets and routing documents. Final assemblies are leak-tested, charge-tested where applicable, and inspected before packaging for shipment.
Inspection and testing through each stage of fabrication, brazing, coil production, and assembly. Production records are maintained for customer review on engineered-to-order programs and supplied with shipment documentation where required.
Quality activities include in-process dimensional inspection, leak detection, pressure testing, and final inspection. See Quality for additional detail.
Engineering support is provided across customer programs from initial specification through production. Designwinds engineering reviews customer drawings against fabrication and brazing capability, recommends design adjustments where warranted, and supports first-article and prototype builds.
Engineering activities include drawing review, design-for-manufacturability feedback, prototype builds, first-article inspection, and production transition support.
