Structural Crossmembers

Automotive Components can provide:

High volume, steel and high strength low alloy steel (HSLS) engineering design and production experience for structural crossmembers (transmission support beams)and side impact protection tubes.

Closed section (tubular) solutions designed to increase strength and accomplish mass savings over the typical stamped designs.

Minimization of stamping content and the realization of component and weld reduction.

A fully integrated supply source, including tube fabrication and the value add manufacturing processes.

Conventional tube bending / shaping / forming, a very repeatable and in many cases low cost alternative to hydroforming.

Typical and unique press operations including end sizing, end expanding, piercing, marking, coining, etc.

Design of all transfer dies used in the manufacturing process of crosssmembers.

Hydroforming capabilities.

Tubular designs that provide ongoing flexibility for change with minimal investment.

MultiWall T3™ Tunable Tube Technology Available

- MultiWall T3™ process allows a variable wall thickness to along the length of the tube.

- Aluminum mass at steel costs.
