Materials for Automotive Programs
We machine engineering metals and polymers optimized for structural strength, thermal dissipation, and electrical conductivity:
- Aluminium (6061-T6, 7075-T6, 6082) - Structural brackets, lightweight suspension mounts, and thermal enclosures
- Alloy steel (4140, 4340, 8620) - Case-hardened transmission gears, drive shafts, and high-stress mechanical fasteners
- Copper and brass - High-conductivity busbars, high-voltage battery terminals, and sensor connectors
- Mild steel (1018, 1045) - Cost-effective structural brackets, weldments, and fixture tooling
- POM (Delrin) and Nylon (PA6/PA66) - Low-friction bushings, actuator gears, and cable management components
- Tool steel (D2, A2, H13) - Wear-resistant forming dies, punches, and production line tooling
Process Control & Production Scaling
Every production setup is documented with standard operating sheets, designated tooling offsets, and dedicated inspection frequencies. In-process dimensional checks and automated Zeiss CMM verifications ensure that production parts match the approved first article samples throughout high-volume manufacturing runs.
