• We align our technical expertise and equipment to meet quality, cost, and delivery goals for stamped metal parts.

• Our in-house Tool Room builds innovative stamping dies to expand our metal stamping capabilities and streamline production. A quality process is established prior to production and is followed throughout to ensure defect-free parts are delivered. Value-added operations provide a manufacturing process that is all-inclusive and hassle-free.

• Metal Stamping Capabilities

• Our 13 precision metal stamping presses – 45 to 800 tons –  operate with an advanced press control system that utilizes in-die sensor technology to meet low-to-high volume production needs and protect your stamping die.

• Our stamping scope is wide-reaching for multiple industries from producing a 5mm part utilized in industrial automation to a 31-inch part applied to fitness equipment

• ERP-system manages production schedules and quality inspections

• In-house tool room builds progressive stamping dies that perform multiple operations including in-die assembly and tapping

• Sensor technology protects stamping dies during production and ensures operations are functioning properly

• Greater control and flexibility of the stroke in the servo press delivers metal parts more quickly and with greater precision

• Detailed quality inspections are performed on the stamping floor and in the quality lab.

• The completion of metal parts is performed in-house with sub-assembly services, finish and line ready packaging.

• In-house die maintenance performs repairs and modifies dies within set deadlines

Quality

An integrated quality process helps establish a successful metal stamping environment with regular quality inspections to prevent production issues.

PPAP (Pre-production approval process)

This is completed before full production can start on a new or redesigned metal part utilizing standard and customized quality criteria. PPAP includes a Layout Inspection – which measures every dimension of a metal part with micrometers, calipers, and automated equipment.

CMM – The probe of the Coordinate Measurement Machine precisely touches multiple points on a metal part that cannot be done by the human hand.

Faro Arm – This measurement equipment has highly accurate lasers that can scan 560,000 points per second providing the ability to quickly and precisely define a metal part's layout. This accelerates the pre-production process without sacrificing quality and details. It pinpoints inaccuracies allowing for design corrections before a part moves into full production.

1st piece inspection

This quality inspection is performed every time any stamping press performs an initial run of a metal part in a pre-determined quantity. This ensures the production process is set-up correctly to complete a production order without interruptions. During metal stamping operations, the ERP-system establishes the types of quality inspections as well as the frequency and the press operator is notified at their workstation.

Examples of quality inspections on stamped metal parts:

• Material Thickness

• Hole Sizes

• Length and Width

• Angles
