Specialty Parts

Specialty Fasteners Are Designed For Applications Beyond Standard Needs.

These fasteners may not be readily available off-the-shelf and may need to be custom-made or sourced from specialized manufacturers. We recognize the critical role that fasteners play as indispensable components in various industries and applications. They contribute significantly to the functionality, safety, efficiency, and longevity of products, machinery, and structures. Without fasteners, many of the things we rely on in our daily lives would not be possible.The primary function of fasteners is to provide the mechanical strength necessary to hold components together and ensure structural integrity. However, when conventional fasteners could not satisfy required level of performance or structural integrity for particular applications, specialty fasteners are customized to address these specific requirements.

What is Multi-Station Forging?

Multi-station forging is a specialized manufacturing process used to shape and form metal workpieces by subjecting them to a sequence of forging operations at multiple stations within a production line. Each station performs a specific operation simultaneously, and this significantly increases the production rate. Another advantage is to allow for precise control over each forming operation. This results in parts with tighter tolerances and more consistent dimensions, reducing the need for secondary machining operations. 

When should multi-station forging be considered suitable?

This forging process involves applying compressive force to a metal workpiece to deform it and give it the desired shape and properties. This approach allows for efficient and controlled production of complex parts and components. When parts become more complex, sophisticated and challenging to manufacture, Multi-station formers are particularly versatile in creating complicated parts, and possess the advantage of fully completing parts in one manufacturing process at a reasonable cost. Multi-station forging is commonly used in industries such as automotive manufacturing where complex parts and components require precise and sequential operations to achieve the desired final form.

What are other advantages?

Other advantages inlcude increased productivity, reduced material waste, improved dimensional accuracy, consistent material fiber flow, cost efficiency and enhanced process control. Additionally, the ability to perform multiple operations in a single pass minimizes the need for secondary operations, leading to cost savings and faster production times.
