Springs wire forms and fourslide stampings are crucial components in our modern world. The set-up time for wire forming is the most time consuming—but production and final yield is extremely fast. When it comes to wire forming, Buchanan represents a shop with the capability to produce volumes at 10,000 and up. Springs come in 3 main types:
- Tension
- Compression
- Torsion
Tensions springs stretch, compression springs are pushed, and torsion springs twist. Springs can be made in many sizes and configurations in quantities of a few hundred to millions.
Buchanan’s leading wire forming manufacturer, has been our partner for the past 55 years. They utilize the most up-to-date, advanced technology across their nearly 200 machines to process hundreds of thousands pounds of material each month. On the production line, all parts undergo inspection before the process begins to ensure high quality from start to finish. Our spring coiling capabilities are between .005 and .207 diameter.
