At Paragon, we are committed to investing in new technology and
innovations that will further improve our capabilities.
As part of our focus on quality, we have just achieved ISO 9001:2015
certification, underlining our company-wide commitment to delivering
superior parts for our customers.
ISO 9001: 2015 is an internationally recognised standard with a focus on
supplying products and services of the highest quality.
Paragon prides itself on its technical expertise and strong reputation for
delivering superior customer service and achieving the accreditation
for our Quality Management System is testament to this.
“We’ll continue to roll out business improvement
policies like this to support our development
going forward and ensure Paragon remains
at the forefront of the prototyping industry.”

The recent introduction of a portable CMM machine means
that we are now able to maintain our superior product
quality through digital verification.
The portable, state of the art FaroArm allows us to carry out
3D part inspections and compare components to their
original CAD data, by undertaking exact measurements and
wider digital analysis.
Using this equipment, we can also reverse engineer products
where CAD data is insufficient, or in some cases, non-existent.

Paragon RT continues to invest in state of art CNC machining
centres with the latest addition being a HAAS VF6 SS SUPERSPEED.
The HAAS machine has extra large capacity with a bed size of
1600mm, a spindle speed of 12,000-rpm and compliments the
HURCO VM20i
Both machines lie in Paragon’s 5,000 sq foot dedicated CNC
technical centre just 2 miles from the company’s Headquarters in
Darlington.

Haas Automation's VF-6SS is based on the shop-proven Haas VF-6
platform 1,626 x 813 x 762 mm xyz travels, the Super VF-6 comes
standard with an innovative 12,000-rpm inline direct-drive spindle, an
ultra-fast tool changer and 35m/min rapids.
The machine is equipped with a 12,000-rpm, 40-taper spindle that
features a unique inline, direct-drive system that couples the drive
directly to the spindle rather than using belts. This results in smoother
transmission of power, less heat and less noise than other drive systems,
providing better surface finishes, extreme thermal stability and very
quiet operation.
The newly designed 24+1 side-mount tool changer uses lighter materials
and a high-performance servo motor, for tool changes that take less
than 1.6 seconds tool to tool. High-pitch ball-screws and high-torque
servo motors on all axes provide rapids of 35m/min.

Paragon’s significant manufacturing experience means we are able
to offer support throughout the product development process.
We can produce a range of customised jigs and fixtures to enhance
your manufacturing process, including:
• Nesting Jigs
• Alignment jigs and masks
• Holding or Assembly Fixtures
Where your customer requires manufactured parts to be measured,
inspected or checked against original specification, we can supply a
range of precision gauges, such as Go-No Go Gauges.
Jigs can be supplied for incorporation into poka yoke assembly cells
particularly for automotive trim producers who need to ensure that it is
not possible to miss a clip or foam gasket.

Paragon specialise in the design and manufacture of Compression
and Reaction Injection Moulding tools for the casting of Polyurethane
and the compression moulding Silicone based polymers .
Our CNC department can produce machined cores and cavities in
aluminium and Ureol, but many compression tools can also be
produced on our SLA machine, making a very rapid response possible.
In addition Paragon can support companies with thermoforming tool
requirements, as well as press tools and form tools.
