REDUCED WEIGHT
Thinner gauge, High Strength steel contributes to a 34% weight reduction while still surpassing all loading requirements.
IMPROVED STRENGTH
Single-piece stamping technology, thinner
gauge steel and a structural flanged hem deliver a 300% increase in
overall strength, while a protective polymer coating provides superior
corrosion and scuff resistance.
EASIER ASSEMBLY
An added protective polymer coating and slotted installation holes (which can accommodate multiple bolt sizes) improve ease of assembly.
REDUCED COST
The new design costs less to manufacture and can be
used across multiple vehicle platforms.
Finding ways to reduce the weight and cost of components,
without sacrificing strength or quality, is a critical concern for
today’s automotive engineers and ITW CIP is constantly looking
for new ways to help.
