Design, Engineering & Manufacturing Capability

• Delta has a long history of product and process innovation led by John White:

• Invented unitary construction of stages in telescopic cylinders

• Developed flapped wipers in telescopic cylinders

• Were the first manufacturers to utilise collet pins in hydraulic cylinders

• Developed a proprietary ceramic densifying hard chrome treatment, called Delta-C, that eliminates chrome porosity and micro-cracking by sealing the pores and fissures in the chrome and bonding with it to provide an extremely hard smooth surface that is a hundred times more corrosion resistant than typical OEM standards

• Designed and developed a self centering replaceable cushioning device for single stroke hydraulic cylinders that allows cushioning in one direction and free flow in the other

• Designed and installed the world’s first horizontal reciprocating in-solution chrome plating machine (pictured)

Manufacturing Facility

B2 B3

B4

• 4 Buildings, 8,312 square metre (89,470 square feet) facility

Clean Room

• 120 square metre (1,300 square feet) facility

• Department of Defence certified

• Use for the production of manifolds, directional valves and the assembly of smaller cylinders

• Used in the manufacture of products for defence and medical applications

• Used as a hydraulic engineering training facility for college students

Quality System

• Operating under the Delta Hydraulics Quality Management System (DeltaQMS) which achieved ISO9001:1994

• Department of Defence Accredited Supplier

• Currently updating the DeltaQMS Quality System based on 6 Sigma Lean Manufacturing principles and Caterpillar Production System (CPS) elements

• The updated DeltaQMS will incorporate Caterpillar Production Systems and an ongoing commitment to CPS

• Re-certification to ISO9001:2008 is expected by the end of 2015

Manufacturing Redundancy

• Delta’s Devonport manufacturing facility is spread over three buildings

• Each building has its own sub-station electricity supply

• Centreless Grinding, Skiving and Burnishing, Machining, and Chroming is duplicated across three buildings, meaning in the situation where a building suffers a disaster, manufacturing can be transferred to another building

• Delta’s Thailand facility also provides significant business continuity protection. 9,000 square metre (96,875 square feet) has cutting, machining, assembly, cleaning, painting and CMM testing capability

• Added a new Chief Operating Officer to the team

• Added an Ultrasonic Testing , Magnetic Particle Testing and Technician and Quality Supervisor to the team

• Added control, monitoring and measuring machines and devices

• Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

• Magnetic particle testing

• Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)

• Improved testing and measuring procedures for chrome bath chemistry, furnace temperatures and torque calibration on the assembly line

• Is recruiting for an in-house metallurgist

2015 Management and Quality Expansion

• Devonport is on the northern

coast of Tasmania and sits in the centre of major sea and air freight infrastructure

• 6km - Devonport

• 47km – Burnie Port

• 102km – Bell Bay Port

• 11km - Devonport Airport

• 108km - Launceston Airport

• Delta has a 99% customer delivery KPI and absorbs additional freight costs to achieve on time delivery
