Summary

A customer in the automotive industry had a part that wasn’t functioning properly, as the bushings that were pressed into the part were turning rather than staying in place. We worked closely with their engineering team and the builders of the bushing press machine to develop a better fit for the bushing. Prior to shipping the die to the stamping vendor, we did a 200 piece test run in our 400 ton Brown Boggs press to insure that the quality issues were resolved. The end result was a high quality production tool that was consistent in holding the tight tolerance of the extended hole to meet the specs that were required.
