Summary
A customer in the Fabric Structures business was having troubles with the hole quality being produced with brackets that play a vital role in the structural integrity of the buildings they produce. This customer was having their parts lasered and then formed. Die Makers worked with the customer to pin point their exact wants and needs. DMK then designed and produced a three station coil fed die to first crop the bracket, then form, and finally pierce (6) .656” holes on a 3” radius. Thus creating a part with zero hole distortion.
