Phoenix Electric Mfg. Co.

We’re excited to introduce the IBRA-1043 which is a brush holder assembly for a valued new customer. This project has been a testament to the strength of our team and our commitment to delivering top-quality components, no matter the challenge. While we have been making brush holder assemblies for over 20 years, each IBRA is custom made for the motor and application, requiring us to learn how to manufacture and assemble the part for the first time. Bringing these assemblies to life required secondary operations we had not previously performed. However, true to the Phoenix Electric spirit, our experienced and dedicated workforce stepped up and found a way to meet the unique requirements of this project. Despite the challenges we faced, our experienced team was able to deliver on the short timelines requested by the customer. Thanks to the collective efforts of our team, we ensured timely delivery and maintained the high standards of quality that define our work. We are already in the process of ramping up production and optimizing our processes to ensure our customer's operations are not impacted. This success exemplifies what makes Phoenix Electric stand out: an unwavering determination to get the job done, regardless of the circumstances. Here’s to continued teamwork and exceeding expectations for our customers. #ManufacturingExcellence #PhoenixElectric #USmanufacturing #customparts #assembly #manufacturing

Phoenix Electric is excited to announce the addition of a new wire cutting/stripping machine to our assembly operations.

Happy Friday! As we head into the weekend, Phoenix Electric is excited to highlight our compression molding capabilities—a crucial part of our plastic manufacturing lineup. Our expertise in this area allows us to deliver high-quality parts that meet the unique demands of various industries, all while optimizing project costs. While injection molding is a great option for certain parts, compression molding often proves to be the better choice in the following scenarios: - Cost-Effective for Low-Medium Volumes: Compression molding offers a more affordable solution for low to medium production volumes, with significantly lower initial tooling costs compared to injection molding. - Versatile Material Use: Phoenix can work with a wide range of materials, including thermosets, thermoplastics, and BMC, making this process ideal for parts that require specific composite materials which are sometimes hard to work with on injection machines. - Precision and Quality: Our experienced team ensures every part meets the highest standards. With careful post-processing, including metal insertion, drilling, de-burring, assembly, and boring, we deliver durable and reliable components every time. Partner with Phoenix Electric to understand if compression molding is the right manufacturing choice for your next plastic part. #PhoenixElectric #CompressionMolding #Manufacturing #Thermosets #Thermoplastics #BMC #CustomParts #MadeinUSA

This week Phoenix is excited to highlight our plastic manufacturing capabilities which include injection molding. On our injection machines, Phoenix has the ability to work with wide a range of materials, including thermoset, thermoplastic, and composites, and offer comprehensive mold design and services to meet your specific needs.

Today, the Phoenix Electric team attended the Defense Supply Chain Industry Day hosted by the Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Center (IMEC Illinois). The event highlighted the critical need to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing sector to secure the supply chain for the Department of Defense. The day was filled with insightful presentations, including a surprise visit from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, emphasizing the importance of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S and Illinois specifically. Key takeaways included the urgency to reduce dependency and concentration of manufacturing capabilities overseas, the wealth of opportunities and support available to manufacturers in Illinois, and the necessity for greater investment in automation, upskilling, and technology to boost productivity. As a manufacturer already supplying component parts for defense applications, this event was a great learning opportunity as we look to position ourselves to contribute to these reshoring efforts, help grow Illinois' manufacturing base and help secure the defense supply chain. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and committed to supporting the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing. #DefenseIndustryDay #IndustryDay #DefenseManufacturing #DepartmentofDefense #Reshoring #DefenseSupplyChain #IllinoisManufacturing #MadeInUSA #IMEC

At Phoenix Electric, our secondary operations are essential for meeting the close tolerances required by the demanding applications our parts are used in. We offer a range of secondary operations to ensure each part meets the exact specifications and tolerances needed for top performance. These capabilities include: - Machining / Drilling: Precision down to the thousandth of an inch for exact hole placement and depth. - Broaching: Creating intricate shapes with precision, ensuring a perfect fit every time. - Spot Facing: Ensuring perfectly flat surfaces for a consistent seal, crucial for reliable performance. - Grooving: Cutting precise grooves for secure fits and smooth operation. - Centerless Grinding: Achieving tight tolerances and perfect finishes without the need for a central axis. Why are these tolerances so important? The difference between a part that lasts weeks versus years can be as small as a thousandth of an inch, and our secondary operations make this precision possible. At Phoenix, we manufacture millions of parts per year, with defective parts numbering in the single digits—a testament to our commitment to quality. Our secondary operations ensure that every part meets the highest standards of precision and durability ensuring consistent operations. #PhoenixElectric #Manufacturing #PrecisionEngineering #Quality #CloseTolerances #Machining #Broaching #Spotfacing #Grooving #Centerlessgrinding
