Die set maker accredited with ISO 9001/2000
Brauer Coley, manufacturer of die sets and associated components, has successfully been upgraded from its previous ISO 9002 accreditation to the new ISO 9001/2000 standard.
In-die tapping unit paid for itself within a year
An in-die tapping unit designed into press tooling had completely paid for itself, compared to the costs of conventional tapping, within the first 12 months of the tool's operating life.
This innovative new product is the result of over twelve months of research and development, during which more than 30 different product samples were tested to determine the best performance against normal wear, galling conditions and long-term lubrication.
The winning component combination proved to be a proprietary heat treated rocker set into a solid bronze saddle with self-lubricating graphite wear plugs for smoother more maintenance-free operation.
Superior life and accuracy results from the hardened steel bending lobes that resist wear during repetitive part contact.
Rotary benders have been used in metal forming for over 20 years, in both the metal fabricating and stamping industries, and are today some of the most versatile and productive tools used in forming operations, being employed in a wide variety of manufacturing situations.
Traditionally, such tools have carried a high price tag, but the Accu-bend has been developed to provide high-volume performance with cost savings that make it affordable for limited production runs.
In addition to the standard range, compact benders designed to fit in tight places, have been developed, which are ideal for bending small tabs within a larger part.
These rotary benders can be manufactured to custom sizes if an off-the-shelf product does not already exist.
