As Specialists in the manufacture of high volume technically challenging metal pressings, we employ various processes to achieve this, which are chosen so as to be the most cost effective production method without compromising the quality requirements of the customer.

Single Operation - This entails using individual tools in separate presses (operations usually undertaken by hand - occasionally by pick & place robots).

Progression Tooling - This uses one tool on which a number of operations undertaken, one following the other. Material used in coil form

Transfer Tooling - This uses various individual tools (occasionally one big tool) where individual components are automatically transferred from on stage to another until the final component is produced.

The tools can be mounted into one large bed tooling area or can be mounted into a number of presses joined together with automatic feeding equipment.

 Assembly - Parts produced on Single Operation, Progression or Transfer Tooling are then assembled into final component assembles.
