| APPLICATION: AUTOMOBILE ELECTRONICS |
 |
The Challenge:
- Replace a standard aluminum die cast part with a stamped product
- Eliminate die casting
- Eliminate "staking" operation with "click" features in die leak
test to eliminate possibility of field failures
The Solution:
- Cost reduction of $2.50 per part as a casting to $.67 per part as a stamping
- One up-front die charge repalces mutliple die cast tools
- Stamping cosmetics are suprior to die cast
- Stamping is inherently cleaner with no slives to cause shorts on electronics
- stamping weights less - ie less freight costs
