Capabilities


	Capabilities
	Your choices are...
	Cold Drawing		Cold drawing services form metal by drawing or pulling metal from a die or gap in order to produce wires and elongated profiles.
	Cold Forming		Cold forming services form metal by placing it under pressure, without the addition of heat, until the desired shape is achieved. Cold forming describes an operation using a vertical press.
	Cold Heading		Cold heading services form metal by placing it under pressure, without the addition of heat, until the desired shape is achieved. Cold heading describes an operation using a horizontal press.
	Cold Rolling		Roll forming services create metal shapes with uniform cross-sections. Sheets, strips, coils, wires or foils are fed between successive pairs of rollers that progressively bend and form the metal until the desired shape and cross-section is obtained.
	Impact Extrusion		Impact extrusion services produce components by using a die and high-impact pressure.
	Orbital Forming		Orbital forming services are operations where pressure is applied using an orbital rotating tool head held at a finite angle to the work piece in order to produce a smooth finish.
	Radial Forming		Radial forming services are operations where material is displaced uniformly at a controlled speed as to produce uniform and consistent material displacement.
	Thread Rolling		Thread rolling services produce external threads on parts by the use of a threaded-die held, rotating work piece and controlled pressure gradients.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary operation.

	High Volume Production		Contracted manufacture of parts in high volumes by various methods.
	Prototype Services		Vendor has capacity to build a low quantity representative parts for use for presentations and functional testing.
	Reverse Engineering		Companies have the capability to reverse engineer or digitize parts or products. Reverse engineering is useful in cases where components or parts for a product or equipment are no longer available commercially or in cases where drawings and documentation have been lost. The parts can be examined and digitized in order to make part drawings. Then, new replacement or duplicate parts can be fabricated for the system. Reverse engineering may include identification materials and processes as well.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary services.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Drilling / Tapping		Suppliers perform drilling, tapping, threading, and associated or similar operations.
	Grinding		Grinding provides a very smooth, precise material finish and can be used to finish high-hardness wear surfaces.
	Heat Treating / Stress Relieving		Heat treating and stress relieving is a broad category of metal-treating processes such as annealing, passivation, and hardening. Stress relieving may be necessary to relieve residual stresses from the stamping process.
	Knurling		Knurling is a roll forming operation where the die and knurling wheel are used to give the desired surface finish.
	Machining		Machine shop services use machinery or equipment to perform custom removal of material to fabricate a finished part.
	Mechanical Assembly		Supplier services include assembly of components.
	Surface Finishing		Finishing and surface treatment services pretreat or finish the surfaces of manufactured components to meet roughness or surface condition requirements.
	Welding		Welding joins metals and metal parts by melting and re-forming a metal bond between materials, with or without additional filler metals.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary secondary operations.

Materials



	Your choices are...
	Aluminum / Aluminum Alloy		Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight, non-ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength. Aluminum is relatively easy to fabricate by forming, machining or welding. It is a good electrical and thermal conductor. Aluminum is also useful as an alloying element in steel and titanium alloys. Aluminum alloys are versatile metals with applications in almost every industrial and commercial segment.
	Copper, Brass or Bronze Alloy		Copper and copper alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity as well as good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength. Copper alloys are relatively easy to fabricate by forming, casting or machining. Pure copper is more difficult to weld, cast or machine.
