Lighters, industrial machines, robots, watches, shock absorbers, bottles of perfume, appear on the list of goods whose efficient functioning involves one or several small springs. Springs play a critical yet often ignored role in a very large amount of common objects. Because of exposure to multiple kinds of stresses and small dimension, producing springs requires strict compliance with very high quality standards.
