A multiple manifold for variable corrugated tube sizes
Schlemmer was confronted with a complex customer request: a multiple manifold to accommodate three different sizes of corrugated tube per connection.
Solution
Think outside the box by looking over the rim of a tea cup
A solution approach was found owing to the observation of a saucer.
This had various rings stamped into it so that three sizes of cup could fit on it. This idea was taken up, transferred to the Schlemmer manifold and implemented in a product solution.
