Precision Metal Parts

Photo-etched or stamped precision metal parts utilise thin-gauge materials. These are available off-the-shelf or custom designed for your exact needs. Intricately designed with micron accuracy, with minimal tooling to assist in prototyping and design concepts. Process Flexibility Photo Etching Orbel’s etching techniques allow them to produce the most intricate components while maintaining extremely tight tolerances. This process provides a fast and cost-effective way to produce a wide variety of precision metal parts. Offers a wide selection of materials Etching metal thickness from 0.0178mm to 0.813mm Allows for quick design modifications Eliminates the cost of hard tooling Produces burr and stress-free high-quality precision parts In-house photo tooling provides quick turnaround on parts ​ Custom Stamping Capabilities range from short-run single hit to high-volume progressive die stamping. Materials ranging from 0.0508mm to 0.813mm thick Wide variety of material choices including beryllium copper, stainless steel, brass, phosphor bronze, copper alloys, and others A dedicated prototype department Short, medium and high volume production In-house operations include forming, heat treating, plating and assembly ​ Electroplating Orbel’s electroplating services are at the core of their production capabilities. From continuous and complete material coverage to intermittent and localised deposits, a wide range of manufacturing flexibility is employed to meet customer requirements. Standard finishes include Tin, Nickel Copper, Tin Lead, Zinc, Nickel, Electroless Nickel, Gold, Silver, Ebinol and Passivation.
