Metal Fab & Stamping

We regularly work with clients looking for both low to mid volume sheet metal fabrication, (aka metal fab) and high volume metal stampings. From 30-ton presses up to 600-ton presses, we are equipped to manufacture a wide range of progressive die metal stampings. Our sources work with a wide variety of metals including:

• Stainless steel – 300 and 400 series
• Carbon steel
• Aluminum – 5000 and 6000 series
• Dual-phase
• High strength
• Tin plated brass
• Copper
• Galvanized/galvannealed
• Aluminized
• Mild steel

Since stamped materials typically need further processing our sources also offer value-added services such as

• In die processes such as tapping and Nut/Stud insertion
• E-coating
• A-coating
• Powder coating
• Zinc plating
• Deburring
• Machining
• Heat treating

Many customers seeking a traditional stamping are often surprised to find we recommend designing and manufacturing a fourslide stamping, and multislide stamping services. Rather than a traditional progressive die tooling. A fourslide, also known as a multislide, is a unique piece of machinery that can manufacture close tolerance parts very economically due to its high run rate and ability to run scrapless. Additionally, fourslide machines provide us with the ability to run not only flat-stock but the wire to create complete wire forms at a fraction of the cost of a traditional CNC wire forming machine.

Other capabilities we offer include

• Wireforms
• Compression springs
• Extension springs
• Torsion springs
• Mechanical assemblies
• Part washing

If your project requires a more completed component arrangements can be made for welding and assembly services including:

• Spot welding
• Projection welding
• Robotic MIG welding
• Tape/Foam assembly
• Bushing insertion
• Clip attachment

Laser Cutting Production Parts

Laser cutting is ideal for production of parts with low to moderate quantity requirements, or parts with similar features but many variations,

Laser cutting reduces the initial cost and lead-time to make intricate parts. Edge quality and dimensional accuracy and consistency are excellent.

Our fiber laser and CO2 lasers with flexible integrated manufacturing systems have the capacity to handle 5’ x 10’ sheets and can cut material up to maximum thickness of 1/2″ of mild steel, 1/4″ stainless steel, 1/8″ aluminum and many other materials.

Dimensional accuracy and repeatability can be held to within ±0.003″ in both thick and thin materials when needed.

Our material handling system provides the most economical option by processing up to 35,000 pounds of raw material without labor input. Our lasers cut for 24 hours each day – usually without an operator in the area. Our peak throughput of material was 70,000 lbs. on one weekend.

The companies we represent serve are ISO and IATF certified and support a variety of industries including:

• Automotive
• Commercial
• ATV
• Appliance
• Consumer products

If you are looking for more complete components than basic metal fab parts, take advantage of our vertical integration expertise to procure box builds aka integrated systems.
