Developed in response to demand from high profile telecommunications and electronics
manufactures, R E Thompson have developed a robotic solution for placement
of form in place gaskets suitable for water tight electronic applications and
temperature sensitive assemblies. The robotic CNC dispenser is programmable
offline and operates to a high level of precision suitable for forming complex
gasket shapes directly onto the component.
Finishing
R E Thompson offer a number of in-house finishing options although as part of
their one-stop shop flexible manufacturing service they provide a range of
other processes through well established business partners. For

Machined
Finishes
Precision finishes can be achieved through the use of high speed tooling
at slow feed rates or by use of specialist diamond and polishing cutting
tools.
Whether you are looking for flush mating surfaces or an aesthetic finish we
can offer a range of varied machined finishes to suit your requirements.
Vacuum
Bead Blasting
We offer vacuum bead blasting for adding a polished finish to aluminium and
steel surfaces. Vacuum bead blasting ensures that no material is left on the
component part, a critical requirement for high specification applications.
Our bead blasting cabinet is suitable for components up to 600mm x 400mm x
400mm and under 50kg.
 Engraving
Engraving can be carried out inhouse on the CNC machines although for specialist
engraving with infills we work closley with a well establish outsourced

Hand cleaning with a degreasing agent can be carried out inhouse either prior
to shipping or before surface coating with a stove enamel or powder finish.
