 Why Cold Drawn Special Profile Shapes Are Better
- Dramatically reduces machining time/costs
- Significantly reduces material loss/improves yields
- Produces closer tolerances
- Improves manufacturing capabilities without adding machinery/tooling
- Reduces manpower/training
- Enables automated production of difficult parts
- Suits lean manufacturing techniques
- Lowest tooling costs for precision tolerances
- Enables smaller manufacturer to compete
- Enables larger manufacturer to re-focus manpower/resources
Note: Special Shapes/Profiles can be made in both bar and wire products and sizes.
Sizes
Special Shapes: |
Bar: from .028” to 3” thick and up to 5” wide
Maximum cross section 9 sq. in. |
Wire: from .028”
to .750” |
Cold Drawn Shapes Can Save You Manpower, Capital and Labor Costs
Cold drawn shapes/profiles could save you up to 75% or more on the cost of machining parts. You can eliminate machining steps and scrap loss. If you are machining "Premium Valued Material" (Tool Steel, High Speed, and Stainless Steels), the savings with special shapes/profiles can provide even more significant Yield Savings Dollars.
You may be able to make finished parts by just sawing sections of the cold drawn shape bar, then finish the part with little or no additional machining.
