The Long and Short of It

Parts common to a variety of industries including automotive can be both extremely long but also possess a small outer diameter. This type of part can extrude deep into the die but continually decrease in diameter during the extruding phase. The wrong die for this application will cause variances in the extrusion and produce curved parts that can be prone to failure.

Our machining specialists have expert knowledge in crafting dies that can create parts with expanded lengths while also maintaining a perfect radius on a small diameter. Combine this with our ability to produce custom parts for a variety of unique applications, our technicians will help ensure your machines operate at peak performance.

Great to the Finish

At Header, we understand the importance of a properly selected — and applied — finish. A proper finish prevents loading the die, which can result in a highly-polished, smooth finish within a tight tolerance for more efficient and effective material flow. Our dimensions are held within 10 minutes of a degree on an angle without relying on flow rings. This capability enables a manufacturer to eliminate a second line or machine without the need for shaving or trimming.
