Custom Metal Stampings

Custom Metal Stampings

Design and development of critical stamped components as well as sub-assemblies are our core areas of expertise. We extend our design and development services for a variety of components, ranging from micro-miniature parts to large, intricate components. Prototype runs as well as high-volume production runs of over 500 million pieces can be handled by us. Electronic connectors, sensor components, thrust washers, and surface mount pins are some of the components we produce through precision metal stamping.

Request for Quote We employ several production methods, including deep drawing and progressive die stamping, to make sheet metal parts or metal accessories. Our miniaturization methods are fast, reliable, and multi-functional, producing lightweight parts that deliver great part performance. Threaded, countersunk, numbered, or embossed features can be produced on all stamped parts.

Dies and tools are engineered in-house to maintain tight tolerances of up to 0.0005 inch until the last production run. With state-of-the-art EDM and CNC machines, our expert die makers make high quality tools.

Quality control and quality enhancement are valued by us. We use processes such as inline statistical process control to ensure quality across stamped products that we produce. Vision systems with inline machine sensors are used for identifying defects.

We offer secondary services such as plating, heat-treating, powder coating, and stress relieving depending on customer requirements. Auto, soldier, reel-to-reel, tape and reel, and bulk packaging are available.
