Our manufacturing facility has been producing Wire Forms, Springs, Clips, Welded assemblies as well as Four-Slide & Multi-Slide parts for 68 years. We have some of the most advanced CNC-controlled automated wire forming machines ranging from .006 wire up to .375 inches in diameter wire. We have a wide variety of CNC spring machines as well as 30 different Fourslide/multi-slide presses. Our largest Multi-slide press a Baird # 8 machine can produce wire forms using wire up to .500 in diameter.
We produce low, medium as well as high volume wire forms using the latest CNC wire forming machines, spring machines, flat coilers as well as 30 four-slide and multi-slide presses. Our facilities have all the in-house heat treating, welding, machining, assembly as well as inspection equipment required to take complete responsibility for delivering Tier 1 Line Ready parts.

Common Applications of Wire Forms, Springs & Welded Assemblies:
Commonly used materials include:
Wire Forms and Springs are both products made using round or flat coiled wire. Wire Forms and Springs can both be made using a wide variety of coiling machines, stamping machines and CNC Wire forming machines. The key is to determine what is the Lowest Total Cost manufacturing process and equipment available to produce each part based on the wire diameter, the length of the part and what the annual usage is of the required part.
If it's a prototype, or very low volume even in the thousands of pieces. The CNC wire forming machine may be your best choice and parts can be produced up to .500" diameter with no hard tooling investments. A spring coiling machine can be cost-competitive as well but is depends on the length of the part, the wire diameter and the volume required?
Very high volume large wire forms can often be hard tooled using a Four-Slide or Multi-Slide press which allows you to produce large volumes of wire forms at very competitive costs, many times no secondary requirements.
It is one of the most cost-effective manufacturing processes available to produce metal components in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, using almost any material you can imagine. By starting with round or drawn material using the most efficient shape possible you can move material very quickly through the equipment removing as little material as possible.
The tooling for some CNC bending parts is zero and the tooling for the Four-slide and Multi-Slide machines is relatively inexpensive and can last for decades. The parts that come off the machines can hold tight tolerances and are very repeatable.
