From the smallest tapping plate to the largest roof rails and bumpers, from the simplest stamping to elaborate assemblies, Wico has been instrumental in providing automotive OEMs and Tiers dependable, cost-effective products for more than 80 years.
Discover significant financial savings and quality improvements by eliminating secondary assembly processes.
Stamping and tapping have been the backbone of Wico since the 1980s, making us the industry’s extrusion experts. With optional in-die tapping, nothing beats the durability and cost savings of Wico’s extruded parts.
Unlike weld nuts made from low-carbon steel, fasteners are formed during the stamping process as part of the component, thus creating a high-strength, seamless, singular unit as the finished product. Wico’s extrusions effortlessly exceed at least twice the standard proof load requirements with perfectly aligned fasteners and no breakage concerns – each and every run. Wico’s patented process, perfected over the years, has proven to:
Wico has the necessary capabilities and experience to not only tap parts in the press, but also to insert purchased components directly into the stamping process, thereby taking advantage of part control and press force to accurately locate/pierce/upset fastening components into a broad range of sheet metal geometries.
Secondary processes and associated costs are eliminated by inserting nuts, studs, spacers, etc. into a base stamping before the part exits the die. The process can be incorporated in both progressive and transfer stamping applications, using an assortment of components.
Wico has the specialized understanding and experience required to design and develop customized in-die assembly solutions.
Currently assembling up to six components onto a main stamping to produce a “sub-assembled” product before the part exits the press.
Stroke utilization for full energy to stamp & assemble high-strength alloys at any stage in the press.
While Wico maintains superior welding capabilities for traditional assemblies, our SPR technology is the high-performance alternative for the future. By replacing heat with tons of mechanical force, we deliver a stronger joint in less time, helping customers achieve lightweighting goals without the ‘thermal tax’ of traditional welding.
