Your Specifications are Our Priority:
Straightness, Surface Finishes, Close-Tolerances Preserved

Our cleaning, super fine finishing and plating use a variety of barrel and vibratory equipment for both non-precious and precious metal finishes. Various grinding media and burnishing procedures are used for surface cleaning, surface preparation and for enhancing surface qualities. Oblique and horizontal barrels, as well as vibratory equipment, are available to insure that straightness, surface finishes and close tolerances are preserved.

Parts are plated in barrels that range in size from 12" x 24" to as small as 2" x 4". These barrels are lightly loaded to keep the parts from being bent. Plating bath controls, precision micro screens, special "button" contacts, as well as danglers and vibratory units as small as 8" in diameter, combine to provide the quality necessary to plate to specifications and avoid "dog bone" effects on even the smallest pins.

We have an XRF (X-Ray Fluoroscope machine) to measure plating thickness. This machine puts out statistical data that is sent with each shipment to verify all compositions and thicknesses. We also maintain compositions at the molecular level.

Strict Control from Raw Material to Packaging

As a single-source provider, we take our responsibilities very seriously. Pre-plate specifications are provided on drawings at our production machines to insure that the finishing process will keep the part within the required specifications. From raw material to packaging, we control the specifications.

Contact us to discuss how your contact pins, connector pins, and electronic or mechanical small metal parts can be fabricated, finished and plated by Autoswage at a significantly reduced cost than you're used to paying for screw machine parts.
