When appropriate, we engage in joint development programs, expanding your engineering
capabilities. Our input and expertise at the design stage often results in advantages
including increased purchasing and production economies, simplified assembly, and
design improvements for your final components.
Our parent company's position as one of the world's largest DOM mechanical steel tubing
producers supports our engineers and qualifies them as experts in designing and selecting
the most economical tube for customer specifications. The assistance we provide
"from the ground up" begins with material grade alternatives and dimensional recommendations,
and continues through part fabrication and design assistance to ensure the best possible
product selection at the lowest possible cost.
To match maximum cost efficiency with reliable functional integrity, we evaluate all of
the production operations to be performed. Machining, bending, flattening, flaring, punching,
welding, or plating, are studied. Concurrently, all service requirements for the application
of the finished component such as torsion, tension, compression, internal pressure, fatigue,
abrasion and impact, are also taken into account. Detailed analysis leads to specific
recommendations for steel grades and dimensions, and clear delineation of the chemical
and mechanical properties required.
