Custom springs for safety-critical diver rebreathing system
When JFD Ltd, a specialist manufacturer of marine diving equipment, was developing its COBRA saturation diving system to provide a major step change improvement in safety and performance, the engineers needed a valve spring supplier with a matching ethos and dedication. The COBRA system pushes bailout duration from 30 mins at 100m to a dramatically improved 45 mins - 15 more minutes of emergency cover for a diver to regain the safety of the base station diving bell. Fortunately, they found the Lee Spring team who are used to co-operative development of springs for the most exacting requirements - they worked together on the specification of four different custom valve springs. Lee Spring offered their technical expertise, product prototypes and developed production springs to operate the delicate valving of JFD's COBRA diving system, together with a dependable supply chain process to ensure that no diver need wait for these safety-critical items.
