Precision Balls . . .
or Precision Stampings?

Precision Balls, Incremental Ball Sizes, Ball Inventory Management

Hartford Technologies manufactures incremental ball sizes that allow
OEMs to work successfully with minor variations in the dimensions of:

  • stampings
  • tubing
  • roll formed product, or
  • extrusions 

 . . . and save substantially on manufacturing costs. 

In assemblies such as sliding mechanisms for car seats,  and tubing used
in steering columns, incremental ball sizing is a powerful tool for achieving
precise fit between the ID and the OD- without the precision price. 

Hartford customers gain something else as well – expert ball inventory
management.  Our Inventory Modeling Program monitors your process,
usage, and history, and predicts trends that then control our manufacturing. 
As a result, “what you need” is always “what’s in stock.” 

Hartford’s Inventory Modeling Program allows customers to minimize
inventory, precisely meet demand, and avoid excess stock. 

The Hartford Commitment:  get in sync with our customers’
processes.  Hold ball tight tolerances to match variations that
customers experience in stampings, roll formings, tubing or
extrusions.  And keep costs low.
 

Hartford manufactures a broad range of incremental ball sizes, in
increments to suit customer needs, from 2 mm to 10 mm.  We also offer
branded materials, including TrimRite® stainless steel ball manufacturing.

your manufacturing process, email us.
