High-Precision Drawn and Stamped Metal Components
The Cly-Del Manufacturing Company is a fourth generation family-owned and operated business dedicated to preserving the tradition of American manufacturing.
Cly-Del is a contract manufacturer trusted by its global client base, ranging from small and medium-sized companies to large multinational corporations. We take pride in our reputation and ability to consistently deliver an extensive range of services and innovative production capabilities to our customers since 1939.
Draw forming
Strip material or cups are formed into shallow drawn metal parts in cost-effective stations where the depth of draw is less than the narrowest crosswise dimension or diameter of the part. "Forming" generally refers to stamping processes that do not cut metal. Cold forming makes strong, lightweight products faster and cheaper than other processes such as turning, machining, or additive manufacturing. The precise process maintains tight tolerances, uses raw materials efficiently, and produces simple to complex geometries. Draw formed and deep drawn products have a higher strength-to-weight ratio due to lacking mechanical seams and joints compared to other metal forming methods.
- Drawn parts are seamless, giving them impressive strength and durability
-
Lower unit production cost, particularly with higher runs
-
Flexible individual tooling
-
Reduced tooling costs
-
While it’s ideal for cylindrical components, it also can be the preferred production method for more complex part geometries
-
Decreased material waste, which helps keeps costs lower than other processes
Deep drawing
Similar to draw formed components, deep drawn metal goods are made in the same way, but they can be distinguished because the depth of the draw is frequently larger than the overall diameter or narrowest crosswise dimension of the component. Deep drawing is a highly effective process with high levels of dependability and efficient material utilization, which is critical in the production of geometrically complex products. Deep drawing also provides significant economies of scale and optimizes operational costs when compared to other subtractive or additive processes.
We use deep drawing to create strong components with tight tolerances and high surface finish from various metals and alloys, such as copper, silver, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. Industries worldwide, including automotive, medical, and munitions, use the process. As a leading global supplier in the deep drawing industry, Cly-del provides fully integrated manufacturing with in-house design, engineering, captive toolmaking, and carbide departments.
Maintain tolerances.
The deep draw forming process is extremely repeatable and once set, can produce hundreds of thousands of parts within a tight tolerance range.
Strength.
Unlike casting or machining, rolled metals have an elongated and cohesive grain structure. Due to the nature of the draw forming process, that structure flows uninterrupted throughout a deep drawn part, which results in an exceptionally strong finished product.
Metal diversity.
A wide range of metals can be deep drawn, providing a number of manufacturing options. We can offer assistance in choosing the best material or alloy for your application.
Customized solutions
Cly-Del Manufacturing works closely with its customers to provide customized solutions that meet their unique needs. This includes everything from design and engineering support to materials selection and finishing options.
CLY-DEL
A leader in progressive stamping and deep drawn metal components. Founded in 1939, The Cly-Del Manufacturing Company is a fourth generation family owned and operated company committed to preserving the tradition of American manufacturing. As the second world war began Cly-Del quickly honored itself meeting U.S. defense needs through supplying special war related metal parts on time while exceeding quality standards then established. Today, Cly-Del has become a major global supplier of battery cans and components. In addition, it continues its long established contract production of ammunition components, eyelet type parts, shells, ferrules, cans, and other progressively stamped or deep drawn components. At its current home in Waterbury Connecticut, the company has grown from an original 50,000 to a 200,000 square feet facility housing over 250 production presses producing billions of parts annually. In its ongoing planning, seven additions have been integrated. Over the years, each expansion has been designed for greater efficiency relative to specific technologies then and now in practice. From its earliest production efforts the company has grown to be a leader in its industry by incorporating modern efficient technologies and implementing state of the art machinery and equipment. In so doing, it has guaranteed its position as a precision, high volume production source for a broad spectrum of precision stamped and drawn components.
