Machined to Formed

Because of our tooling and cold forming expertise, along with the right equipment, ATF was able to develop tooling to form the deep slot in this part complete off the cold forming machine. By doing so, we eliminated a costly machining operation as well as the scrap associated with the removed material. This improvement also reduced the complexity of the process routing and the amount of handling. By converting this to a formed feature, we were able to provide our customer with a significant cost savings.
