CHALLENGES WE SOLVE

Aerospace Stamping Challenges & Our Solutions

Four recurring aerospace failure modes seen in incoming RFQs — and how each is prevented on our line.

01

EMI/RFI shielding

The Challenge

Incomplete shield form recovery breaks grounding continuity and lets EMI escape spec.

02

Connectors & terminals

The Challenge

Contact-resistance drift from tolerance creep on terminal features causes intermittent failures in the field.

03

Structural brackets (precision small parts)

The Challenge

Hole-position and flatness drift on mounting parts forces assembly rework at the OEM line.

04

Sensor components

The Challenge

Micro-shift under vibration and thermal cycling puts sensor alignment out of tolerance.

APPLICATION & INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS

Metal Stampings for Aerospace

View all industries

EMI/RFI shielding

Lightweight stamped shields and cans protect avionics, radar and communication systems from electromagnetic interference - stamped from beryllium copper or nickel alloys with formed fingers for reliable grounding.

Connectors & terminals

High-density stamped terminals and contacts for aerospace connectors, produced on high-speed progressive dies with gold or silver plating options and 100% dimensional inspection.

Structural brackets (precision small parts)

Mission-critical compact mounting brackets and supports stamped from high-strength aluminum or titanium alloys, with tight flatness control and full material traceability per lot.

Sensor components

Precision stamped housings, shields and contacts for aerospace sensors - pressure, temperature and position sensing - with fine blanking tolerances for consistent performance.

Aerospace stamping

Aircraft Components Metal Stamping

Aerospace stampings we run include EMI/RFI shield cans and spring fingers, connector terminals and crimp pins, sensor mounts, shims and precision brackets - thin-gauge parts blanked, formed and cut in a single progressive-die pass from beryllium copper, stainless and tinned strip. Every lot ships with its mill certificate and inspection record, so the paperwork reaching your incoming inspection matches the reel that reached your line.

  • High-speed progressive die stamping with tolerances held to ±0.05 mm on critical features
  • Material certification, lot-level traceability and inspection records on every shipment
  • EMI/RFI shielding, terminals, busbars and structural brackets in one in-house facility
  • Documented process controls aligned with aerospace quality expectations

Aerospace stamping

Precision Stamping for Aerospace Defense Applications

Defense and avionics hardware we stamp includes connector shells, shielding cans and fingers, actuator brackets and grounding shims. Progressive dies run up to 300 strokes per minute with first-article and in-process dimensional records on every lot, and the tooling is built and maintained in-house so a part that qualified on a prototype run holds its geometry through years of low-rate production.

  • Gold, silver and selective plating options for corrosion-resistant contacts
  • Fine blanking and secondary forming for complex aerospace geometries
  • Prototype-to-production support with validated tooling and process FMEA
  • Secure, controlled manufacturing for defense and government programs

Materials, Plating and Testing for Aerospace Stampings

Aerospace stamped parts live or die on material paperwork. Every coil we stamp is traceable to its mill certificate, and critical features are verified on a Zeiss CMM with 0.001 mm resolution, optical projection at ±0.002 mm and 100% dimensional inspection at press speed. Beryllium copper C17200 carries the EMI finger contacts - spring retention that survives thermal cycling - while tinned steel and brass take the terminals. Gold plating at 2-8 micron and tin-zinc at 5-12 micron are applied through our managed plating partners, with adhesion and salt-spray verification (ASTM B117 / ISO 9227) reported per lot. Positioning runs at ±0.005 mm across 25-110 ton presses at up to 300 SPM, so the same die proven on aircraft connector hardware scales to avionics bracket volumes without requalifying the process.

  • Mill-certified coils with lot traceability to source
  • CMM, optical and 100% dimensional inspection at press speed
  • Gold 2-8 micron, tin-zinc 5-12 micron managed plating with test reports
  • 21 presses, 25-110 tons, ±0.005 mm positioning at up to 300 SPM

DFM & ENGINEERING SUPPORT

Design for Manufacturability for Aerospace

We review material, tolerance, bend and volume economics before tooling starts.

What We Review

01

EMI/RFI shielding geometry

Shield enclosure — form recovery after forming, ground-contact faces, and aperture tolerance over the protected circuit.

02

Connectors & terminals geometry

Contact geometry — mating tolerance, plating thickness for conductivity, and reel-feed orientation for in-line inspection.

03

Structural brackets (precision small parts) geometry

Mounting features — hole position and flatness under vibration, bend-radius margins on thin gauge.

04

Sensor components geometry

Feature walk-through — material formability, bend radii, tolerance stack-up and plating compatibility for this part.

What Our DFM Review Checks

01

Bend radii

Inside radius held at R≥1.0t on spring tempers; tighter bends flagged for anneal or grade change before die design starts.

02

Holes & cutouts

Hole diameter ≥0.8t, pushed to 0.6t only with hardened punch steel; thin-gauge cutouts checked for tear-out.

03

Burr & edge quality

Burr height held under 0.05 mm so parts mate flat in assembly and plating adheres at the edges.

04

Tolerance & plating impact

Critical features piloted to ±0.005 mm; plating thickness (gold 2-8 µm, tin/zinc 5-12 µm) compensated in die design.

In-House Tool Room

Made in Our Own Tool Room

Every progressive die behind our stamped parts is 100% in-house stamping tooling — design, machining, assembly and T1 trial all under our roof. That is why tooling issues get solved on the shop floor in hours, not by email exchange with an outside die shop.

±0.001 mm Achieved

Combined machining accuracy down to ±0.001 mm, Ra0.05 µm surfaces and Ø0.05 mm micro end mills for tight die features.

30 In-House Machines

30 die-making machines — wire EDM, CNC and precision grinding — keep every die build and repair on our own schedule.

2–5 Weeks for Stamp Dies

Typical stamping die delivery in 2–5 weeks, with T1 trials run on our own presses before you commit to volume.

One Accountable Chain

Self-designed progressive dies, machined in-house, run at 60–300 SPM with CCD inline inspection — no outsourced-die handoff where quality falls between suppliers.
