Custom Bracket

We were approached by a customer in the appliance industry that was looking for a cost-effective bracket which included a 1/4-20 threaded tapped hole. With our accomplishments for in-die tapping, we were able to eliminate any secondary operations by producing the part completely from the progressive tool. The challenges we faced were being able to run this tool at a run rate fast enough to keep our piece-price competitive.

Using our experience gained from various threads used in the filtration industry, we were able to modify taps for longer runs and develop the best extruded-hole features to ensure quality threads. Thread quality is checked constantly throughout the production runs to guarantee that the quality is first class.

Varbros, LLC’s and TrimLine Die’s equipment, tools, and experience allows us to run high-volume production stampings that are world-class in quality. For more details about our in-die tapping capabilities, see the table below or contact Varbros, LLC directly.
