Headly Manufacturing is a leading contract manufacturer of precision drawn metal stamping to the automotive industry as well as others. Our main products include metal cases for bonded piston seals, wheel bearing seals, shaft seals, and lip seals. We stamp many tight tolerance parts for sensors used in transmissions, engines, gearboxes, steering gear, and ABS systems. We supply various industries including automotive, industrial, aerospace and agriculture.
Headly uses stretch forming to manufacture precision drawn metal stampings in both progressive and transfer dies. Our unique stretch forming process is better suited for high volume, tight tolerance, drawn metal stampings with finer surface finishes than a conventional drawing process. Our proprietary stretch forming process provides many benefits over conventional drawing including:
Greater dimensional accuracy
Increased strength
Reduced part weight
Improved surface finish with lower surface friction
Less spring-back
Increased surface hardness
Increased wear resistance
