Wire Forms and Four-Slide Products

The cost-effective CNC wire forming and four-slide machinery are capable of limitless configurations for custom strips and wire parts. Each production set-up is performed by Argo's in-house tool room which uses EDM machining to create the wire and four-slide tooling dies. Our expert tool and die makers ensure each die will result in uniform thicknesses and dimensional integrity.

The four-slide fabrication process uses multiple slide motions that are capable of producing intricate parts in one pass. This eliminates costly secondary tooling set-ups and poor-quality manual operations. Depending on the complexity, Argo Spring's four-slide machinery can produce high volume production runs of up to 7000 units per hour.

Custom four-slide products include:

• Spring clips
• Fasteners
• Clamps
