Gallagher Receives John Deere 2016 Supplier Innovation Award
It’s fitting that during inventor’s month, Gallagher has been honored with John Deere’s 2016 Supplier Innovation award.
John Deere created the supplier innovation awards in 2009 to promote innovation in the company’s supply base and recognize suppliers who think creatively. Award selections are based on four factors—creativity, feasibility, collaboration and bottom-line impact.

Utilizing compliant tooling for producing the Gen3 Moisture Sensor assembly was the product of a close working relationship between Gallagher Corporation and John Deere Electronic Solutions (JDES). The sensor is comprised of investment cast stainless steel components held in place with a urethane potting material. The material also serves as an electrical insulator and environmental seal for the electronic components. Compliant tooling does a superior job over conventional hard tooling by creating a liquid tight seal to the components and prevents potting material from leaking into unwanted areas. This is beneficial because leaked potting material requires extensive post processing for removal and a diminished aesthetic appearance.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Gallagher” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” module_alignment=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]
