HDS provides drilling, tapping, orbital riveting and slotting services for custom metal stamped components. We can drill holes that range from 1/32” to 6” in diameter, on any steel, aluminum, or plastic part. Our counter boring operations can produce precision holes as deep as 10 m. In-house threading and reaming for manufacturing equipment replacement parts can also be provided.
We are a full service manufacturer offering value added services, such as tool management and maintenance, to support our metal stamping operations. Our tool room is equipped with an EDM as well as CNC machining facilities which are supported by skilled toolmakers and CAD/CAM software.
We specialize in manufacturing safety critical components, particularly for the automotive industry. By stamping and safety critical welding, HDS manufactures structural seat frames, anchor plates, piston plates, and suspension parts.
We have a “Buehler Weld Lab” to test the integrity of welded components and assemblies. Using modular software tools, Buehler’s Laboratory assesses the welded joints to identify defects and deterioration. These lab facilities also allow us to determine the weld depth, penetration, and area for improving weld quality. Data sheets containing detailed instructions and weld analysis reports are provided to the customer. A variety of our products, including critical automotive structural components and satellite antenna assemblies are completely tested in our Buehler’s Laboratory.
Using 3 coordinate measurement inspection machine (Brown and Sharpe) powered by PC-DMIS inspect software, we ensure the dimensional quality of simple and complex stamped components and assemblies. Our CMM inspection capability enables us to identify dimensional variations that may originate from die conditions or material thickness differences. The PC-DMIS software of our CMM facilitates easy collection, management, and evaluation of dimensional data. The technology also allows us to use 3D models in the inspection process.
