By paying close attention to detail and using the precise CNC controls on our lasers and forming equipment to their fullest capacity, our technicians were able to uphold tight ±.002” tolerances. Zinc plating followed by a clear trivalent chromate conversion made the parts immune to corrosion while maintaining industry standards for RoHS compliance. The finished bracket measured 9.064” in length x 5.122” in width x 2.85” in height. Our quality assurance team conducted rigorous inspection to ensure the long-term performance of this bracket in a harsh operating environment. We shipped this order to the customer within a 4-5 week timeframe. Contact us today if you are interested in learning more about this project or any of our expert fabrication capabilities.
