Engineering at a Glance
- In-house die design allows for quick reaction to design changes
- Design assistance provides feedback to improve manufacturability, quality, and cost.
- Tooling and assembly solutions to meet a wide range of annual volume requirements.
- We work with Inventory, AutoCAD, Pro Engineer, and Solidworks
- We work with Inventor, AutoCAD, Pro Engineer, and SOLIDWORKS.
- CAM Machinist allow us to take the most intricate and complicated surfaces and machine them quickly.
Die Design
We specialize in designing progressive stamping dies up to 96″ in length. In designing our dies, we look for opportunities to improve efficiency—both in our material use, and in the number of parts that can be produced from each die. Our engineering team will work with yours to provide responsive design feedback for feasibility and cost, and to accommodate any design changes quickly.
Capabilities
- Press Tonnage from 100 to 330 Tons
- Press Speeds up to 250 Strokes per Minute
- Bed Lengths from 1200mm to 2400mm
Advantages
- Multi-Out, Family, and Offal Designs to maximize material utilization and minimize cost.
- In Die Tapping, In Die Part Insertion, Hybrid Progressive/Transfer Dies
- Close collaboration with tooling build department
Assembly System Design
Our process engineers work closely with our die designers to fully understand the specifications of the final stamped product and develop custom assembly solutions tailored to the next stage of manufacturing. Whether it involves robotic arms welding components, fully automated cells managing multiple assembly operations, or manual workstations for specialized tasks, we design flexible systems that adapt to your specific production needs.
Capabilities
- Low volume manual assemblies
- High volume fully automated systems
- Robotics
- Bowl Feeding
- Machine Vision
Advantages
- Ability to find optimal solutions for both low volume and high volume assemblies.
- Quality ensured with built in poka yoke and automated inspections.
- Flexible solutions designed to accommodate future variants and design changes.
Forming FEA
We utilize advanced Forming FEA simulation software support rapid iteration for forming station design prior to committing to hard tooling. Our FEA capabilities allow us to assess part manufacturability early in the design process, evaluate material stress across critical thresholds, and optimize die layouts for maximum efficiency and reliability.
Capabilities
- Analyze stress and strain
- Anticipate material thinning, thickening, and wrinkling
- Anticipate potential failure risks
Advantages
- Find manufacturability issues before cutting steel on new tooling.
- Rapidly evaluate potential designs for feasibility and provide feedback.
- Reduce the number of prototyping iterations to get to a final design.
