REDUCED WEIGHT
Ultra High Strength, high-carbon steel construction (SAE 1050) and fewer components reduce weight by 53%, while still surpassing all load requirements.
FINISH
Our customers had experienced a squeaking condition with the
existing design. ITW CIP worked to develop a finish combination that
resolved this issue resulting in lower warranty costs.
STRENGTH
Single-piece deep drawn stamping technology and ultra
High Strength steel exceeding current design specifications.
REDUCED COST
The reduction in material utilized results in significant
savings to our customers. The pinned single-piece design reduces
manufacturing costs and simplifies the assembly process, which
contributes additional labor cost savings.
