In-house core processes include cold heading, CNC machining, thread rolling, and tool/die manufacturing. The manufacturing route is selected after reviewing the drawing, material, geometry and order quantity.
In-House Core Manufacturing
Core manufacturing equipment and separately identified partner services
Multi-station Cold Headers
Cold heading forms fastener geometry from wire stock. Part size, tooling, material suitability and production quantity are reviewed before the forming route is selected.
CNC Turning Centers
CNC turning and machining support custom fasteners, shafts, sleeves and spacers. Workholding, material, critical fits and inspection requirements are reviewed against the drawing.
Thread Rolling Machines
Thread rolling is selected according to material, thread geometry and order requirements. Thread dimensions, gauges and acceptance criteria follow the approved drawing and applicable specification.
Coordinated Partner Operations
Specified heat treatment, surface finishing and specialist inspection or testing are coordinated with qualified partners. The process scope, acceptance criteria and required records are agreed for each order.
Heat Treatment — Partner Coordination
Heat treatment is arranged through qualified partners when required by the material and drawing. The treatment route, required properties, inspection method and supporting records are agreed before production.
Inspection Planning & Specialist Support
The inspection plan defines critical characteristics, measuring methods, sampling and required reports. Specialist measurements and tests can be coordinated with qualified partners where required.
Surface Finishing — Partner Coordination
Surface finishing is coordinated with qualified partners. Coating type, thickness, appearance, corrosion requirements and any required embrittlement controls are reviewed for the specified material and application.
Requirements for Technical Review
Define the following requirements in your drawing and quotation request.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Forming Geometry | Cold heading forms fastener geometry from wire stock. Part size, tooling, material suitability and production quantity are reviewed before the forming route is selected. |
| Dimensional Requirements | Critical dimensions, tolerances and surface finish are confirmed against the drawing, material and manufacturing route. Equipment specifications are not a blanket guarantee for every finished part. |
| Thread Requirements | Thread rolling is selected according to material, thread geometry and order requirements. Thread dimensions, gauges and acceptance criteria follow the approved drawing and applicable specification. |
| Heat Treatment Scope | Heat treatment is arranged through qualified partners when required by the material and drawing. The treatment route, required properties, inspection method and supporting records are agreed before production. |
| Inspection Standards | The inspection plan defines critical characteristics, measuring methods, sampling and required reports. Specialist measurements and tests can be coordinated with qualified partners where required. |
| Quantity & Schedule | Samples, pilot lots and repeat production are quoted according to part geometry, material, tooling and quantity. Available capacity and delivery dates are confirmed for the order. |
| Material Compatibility | Specify the material grade, condition and required certificates for technical review. |
| Surface Finish Options | Surface finishing is coordinated with qualified partners. Coating type, thickness, appearance, corrosion requirements and any required embrittlement controls are reviewed for the specified material and application. |
Project Manufacturing Controls
Manufacturing and inspection requirements are agreed for each project.
Manufacturing Route Review
In-house core processes include cold heading, CNC machining, thread rolling, and tool/die manufacturing. The manufacturing route is selected after reviewing the drawing, material, geometry and order quantity.
Inspection Planning
The inspection plan defines critical characteristics, measuring methods, sampling and required reports. Specialist measurements and tests can be coordinated with qualified partners where required.
Order-Specific Traceability
Material, batch, process and inspection records are defined in the agreed control plan. Labels, packaging and delivery documents follow the approved order requirements.
Quality System & Order Requirements
The ISO 9001:2015 certificate issued by Bureau Veritas covers production of hardware screws and nuts. Product-specific tests and documents remain subject to the approved order scope.
Tooling & Sample Review
Sample quantity, tooling, fees and lead time are confirmed after technical review. Production scheduling follows approval of the drawing, manufacturing route and acceptance requirements.
Storage & Delivery Planning
Packing, storage and delivery arrangements are confirmed against order quantity, part protection and shipment requirements.
