Electrical Components• Arvan offers a full line of electrical component parts that meet commercial and
military specifications: • Terminal Boards/Blocks• Terminal Lugs• Insulating Strips • Bus Bars • Terminal Covers • Cover Assemblies• Knobs
Pulleys• Arvan's engineers are dedicated to providing the most
innovative technology possible. We are continually developing and testing new components as well as extending the limits of performance. Thus, every pulley produced embodies built-in innovations that make a difference, giving Arvan’s clients the leading edge.
• Arvan's CAD/CAM computer predicts the maximum deflection to determine the optimal cross section, grooving and bearing size of each new pulley under severe loading conditions.
Custom/Specials• Arvan provides extensive services and custom molding tailored to customer's
requirements. With its advanced equipment, over 25 years of experience in transfer, compression, and injection molding. In addition to thermoforming and its strong engineering team, Arvan is prepared to fulfill your specific needs.
Engineering Services• Arvan can build to print any part or assembly• Arvan can offer manufacturability suggestions during the
design concept phase• Specialization in conversions from metallic to
composite/plastic molded parts• Arvan is in close association with local suppliers, can
design and develop tooling for your part or assembly• Arvan can qualify our facility to your specifications• Arvan can develop and qualify our processes to your
specifications
FACC Case Study • Arvan is one of the few manufacturers with the expertise and qualification in molding parts
• Arvan lead the way in qualifying Class 2 Lytex• Experience in supplying winglet components on 737-300 and 737-800• Parts requested were spec BAC526 made from Lytex • Met with FACC in Austria to facilitate negotiation phase with ease• Broke down cost and lead time with absolute transparency• During production, bypassed machining parts after molding which provided significant cost
savings • Arvan was able to evade challenges due to extensive experience with unique contours and materials
• Opened up our facility during trials phase and walked FACC through process step-by-step • Delivered products on time and on budget • Fostered business relationship that continues today
