Sorion delivers significant FAM Calibration Systems

Sorion which supplies a comprehensive range of diagnostic products and testing equipment to the automotive and manufacturing industries recently secured new business for its latest generation of Force Application Machines (FAM) against strong competition from German firms.

The company, based at the Magreal Industrial Estate, Birmingham, was formed in 1990 and currently employs twelve people.

The FAMs supplied by Sorion under these contracts are off-line machines where the seats are manually loaded and are ideally suited to low volume manufacture. One of the machines includes full electrical test of the seat prior to the calibration being performed.

Phil Yates, Managing Director of Sorion, said: “Cars cannot be shipped to the US without an occupancy detection system fitted to the passenger seat, so manufacturers have to have this type of equipment to calibrate each seat during manufacture. The legislation permits an accuracy of 200g but we have managed to achieve around 20g, which is one of the reasons why these companies have opted to give us their business.”

Sorion counts among its customers leading manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Lamborghini, Nissan and Toyota. It also works with Tier 1 suppliers such as Denso, Lear  and Magna Automotive.
