Services
CNC Wire Forming
Our CNC wire forming services create complex multi-axis geometries using diameters from 0.015 to 0.472 inches. We work with stainless steel, low carbon steel, spring steel, copper alloys, and specialty grades. In-house tooling design enables rapid adjustments for special shapes while maintaining precise tolerances throughout production runs. This service supports both prototyping and high-volume manufacturing with complete material traceability.
Custom Welding
We offer MIG, TIG, resistance welding, and metal brazing services for structural strength and conductivity. Our capabilities include spot welding for wire mesh and TIG welding for tubular assemblies across various materials. Standard and custom threading options accompany subassembly and secondary finishing processes. In-house welding reduces lead times while ensuring quality control for critical applications.
Wire Straightening
Our wire straightening and cutting services process diameters from 0.015 to 0.500 inches with 0.001 inch tolerance. We handle common and specialty metals including stainless steel, low carbon steel, and copper alloys. Each batch undergoes inspection for straightness and length accuracy to ensure blanks meet exact specifications for subsequent forming or assembly operations.
Swaging & Piercing
We provide precision swaging to reshape wire ends and piercing to create clean openings in wire components. Capabilities cover diameters from 0.008 to 0.75 inches in round and flat shapes. These processes create stronger, more functional parts for food service racks, medical devices, and transportation components while maintaining dimensional consistency across production runs.
Metal Brazing
Our metal brazing services create corrosion-resistant joints ideal for high-stress environments. Using silver soldering and other methods, we produce leak-resistant connections that maintain integrity under thermal cycling and mechanical loads. This process is particularly suited for assemblies requiring both strength and electrical conductivity in critical applications.
