PRODUCTS & SERVICES     
Cold-roll forming,
Booth 2027
This company specializes in cold forming standard and custom shapes onto long bars. Other capabilities include forming shapes on a blank or just the end of a shaft. Unlike hobbing, where material is removed by cutting, cold forming displaces raw material, increasing strength, durability and surface finish. All forming and tooling is done in-house.

Panels & overlays,
Booth 3221
Full-color, die-cut panels and overlays are available for quick-turn prototypes and short runs. Durable subsurface printed panels may have a velvet or gloss finish. Overlays feature abrasion resistance and specialty adhesives to meet specs. Tinted windows, opaque inks, LEDs, custom cut-outs, selectively-applied adhesives and membrane switches are offered.

Precision machining, 
Booth 3355

Specializing in tightly toleranced, precision metal parts, in production volume, this company’s capabilities include CNC milling and turning, grinding, lapping, broaching, EDM and fineblanking. Of particular note is their creepfeed grinding that allows full-depth grinding in a single pass. The 150 hp on the spindle, massive machine rigidity and wheel dressing to custom shapes, works on even heat-treated material with low distortion.

Fineblanking, 
Booth 4149
A presswork operation producing flat and 3D metal parts to near-net shape, fineblanking can eliminate post-press operations like milling, grinding, broaching and drilling. Unlike stamping, the process includes support for the part against the ram’s stroke, controlling deformation and die break to maximize part quality. Services include fineblanking — including tool design and manufacture — deburring, heat-treating, plating/finishing and assembly.
