LATEST PROJECT
Auto Manufacturer needs EMERGENCY Stamping Service
Recently, a major auto manufacturer came to us to solve a problem with a die that was made over seas, the die was causing stress fractures in a bend of every single piece that came off of the line. We assisted in redesigning the part to meet strict government regulations, re-made the tools and dies and with our current stamping and testing methods. The customer then asked that we continue to make 30,000 parts per week of this part for them. We have successfully retooled the presses in order to keep up with their needs and stay within budget.
WHAT WE OFFER
Our company services
In House engineering services, tool building, Stamping and Emergency Support are departmentalized, but continually working together.
Engineering
Our in-house design staff with over 150 years of combined experience, uses the most current Visi solid modeling software to create the most accurate strip layouts, tool designs, and check fixtures. Visi also allows us to quickly perform simple form simulation to confirm the design is heading in the right direction. We also invite our customers to be a central part of our designs reviews. From a quick phone call to a sit down at their facility, we make sure everyone agrees before even one piece of steel is ordered or a chip flies off our machining centers.
Tool Building
Our Journeyman tool and die makers machine, build, and tryout a wide range of metal stamping dies including Progressive, Transfer, Hand Transfer, Blanking, Fixtures, Extreme deep draw, Prototype tooling & Special machines. Our in-house presses let us tryout your dies for both high & low volume runs.
Stamping
Equipped with 90-1500 ton stamping presses, with bed capacity up to 204“ x 66“, our metal stamping presses can produce parts from a variety of materials and grades, such as HSLA 50 – 120, 300 and 400 series stainless steel, to standard carbon steels. Uelner offers a range of production methods that meet the highest automotive industry standards. Situations that require heavy wall extrusions, severe draws, complex forms, and even in-die clinch nut and stud insertion are everyday occurrences for us. Here at Uelner, we have the expert personnel on the production floor, backed by our full-service tool and die shop, to get you your parts on time and to print day in and day out, no matter if it is 10 parts or 1 million while meeting your quality standards.
Emergency Support
We welcome the opportunity to support stamping facilities when you have a need for temporary or emergency runs. With the number of tools we build here every year, we have to keep press time open for die tryout. This allows us to have time on the production floor to assist with your over capacity or press down situations. Our presses and team are available to you when and if you need them. Our goal is to meet your customer’s deadlines when you are at capacity or are temporarily down for repair. With reasonable pricing and skilled staff, we can help you meet your schedule, remain competitive, and most importantly, meet the ship dates to your customer.

NEED CONTENT
Construction
Creating Tools and Dies for the construction industry has a different set of challenges with the strength and durability of the materials. We have mastered those challenges.

At Uelner, we recognized a need and created a solution. With our creation of certain technologies, we have created a Cylinder creation method that allows for less processes as well as creates a more durable product in the end and this is now a product that we create on our own for the fluid Filtration industry. Water, fuels and oils are now filtered with our proprietary technology.
Power Generation
Power Generation is an industry with very complex machines and very special uses. We work with our customers to make sure that they have a reliable product in the end to keep their products functioning for a very long time.
