Custom Connector Pins
Without the Waste
Manufacturing at high speed and with no in-process scrap means lower cost.
Electropin has leveraged the power of cold-form manufacturing to become an unrivaled provider of custom connector pins. Simply put, we can make your pins faster, more accurately, and at less cost than anyone else because we produce no scrap.
So stop paying a machine shop to waste metal with every pin they make for you. With Electropin, get the custom connector pins you need without compromising on cost and quality.
Why Are You Still Paying to
Send Metal to the Scrapyard?
cut the source material to make your part. This causes you a lot of costly problems.
Consistency from part 1 to part 1 million.
Because a cutting tool’s edge changes with every part, the pins from the beginning of the batch won’t match the ones from the end.
Cutting metal cuts your profits.
Every time you cut metal, you’re producing scrap. That’s metal you pay for but delivers value to the scrapyard instead of profits to you.
Lead free parts.
Unlike machined parts, Automatic Die Rolling doesn’t require leaded brass. Why worry about REACH and ROHS limits when you can eliminate them?
Automatic Die Rolling: Your
Solution to Wasteful Machining
Automatic die rolling is a cold-form manufacturing process that doesn’t just minimize the problems of machining: it eliminates them.
That’s because the process is based on moving metal as it rolls through a progressive die, making metal flow into the specified shape.
A screw machine’s production rate is limited by the speed at which it can cut metal. With Automatic Die Rolling, there is no cutting, so there is virtually no limit to machine speed. With Automatic Die Rolling, we can produce as many as five custom connector pins a second, with no scrap.
High Speed + Scrap Free = Reduced Cost.
Cold-Forming Your
Custom Connector Pins Is…
Less Waste
With cold-forming, when you pay for five pounds of lead free material, you get five pounds of pins.
Faster
Machining can only produce a pin as fast as a blade can cut through metal. With cold-forming, you can get up to five pins a second.
Accurate
Because cold-forming tools don’t dull, you can get an error rate of just one pin per 600,000,000. And no, that’s not a typo. No other method of making pins even comes close.
Dynamic
Sometimes you can get your first batch of cold-formed pins in just two weeks. And when the raw materials are available, you can dramatically scale up production when your needs change.
The Cold-Forming
Process
