The same precision, held to your industry's standard.

Medical instrumentation metal fabrication demands precision, traceability, and single-source accountability. At Evans Tool & Die, we manufacture metal components for diagnostic equipment, laboratory systems, and healthcare devices. Through high-precision stamping for diagnostic equipment combined with in-house tooling and secondary operations, our Conyers, GA facility eliminates hand-offs between tool shops and production floors.

The Advantage of In-House Tool and Die for Complex Geometries

With over 200 years of combined experience, the master tool makers at Evans tackle complex medical equipment housing design without external shop dependencies. Integrating these steps directly into the workflow cuts weeks from development timelines.

In-house tool and die for medical components means absolute control over clearances, punch wear monitoring, and die maintenance schedules. When diagnostic instruments require brackets with ±.0005 in. positioning accuracy, tool makers build those exact specifications into the progressive dies.

During forming operations, DFM for medical equipment housings addresses crucial material flow dynamics. Tool designers proactively account for springback, grain direction, and surface finish requirements specific to medical applications.

Quality Assurance: ISO 9001:2015 and Material Traceability

To ensure consistent process stability, inspectors execute first-article verification, 30-minute in-process checks, and complete final part evaluations before packaging. Statistical process control continuously tracks critical dimensions.

Maintaining strict compliance for medical OEMs requires rigorous, documented systems:

• Material traceability in medical manufacturing. Tracking starts with certified mill test reports. Lot numbers link finished components back to the original coil for device master files and regulatory submissions.
• ISO 9001:2015 certified medical stamping. Documented procedures establish baseline process controls and fuel continuous improvement. Incoming material inspection consistently verifies chemical composition and mechanical properties before production begins.

Scaling Production From 30 to 1,000 Tons

Scaling from 30 to 1,000 tons, the press floor accommodates everything from small internal brackets to large medical frame assemblies requiring 800-ton forming forces. Progressive die stamping for medical assemblies achieves speeds up to 1,200 strokes per minute when part geometry allows automated feeding.

High-tonnage equipment also brings economic benefits to multi-part medical kits, allowing several components to nest together in a single progressive die. This approach maintains consistent dimensional relationships between mating features. For example, 1,000-ton presses provide high-precision stamping for diagnostic equipment enclosures while keeping springback to an absolute minimum.

Beyond Stamping: Laser Cutting and Robotic Welding

Providing full-service fabrication extends beyond the press floor. Evans offers specialized secondary operations tailored to complex medical manufacturing:

• Custom laser cutting for medical instruments. This process handles low-volume prototype runs and geometrically complex parts. A 6kW fiber laser cuts stainless steel with accuracy, holding ±.0005" to ensure precise edge profiles.
• Robotic welding for medical device fabrication. Automated systems deliver consistent penetration and minimal distortion. Programmed weld paths for MIG and TIG processes produce assemblies with highly repeatable bead profiles.
• Material selection guidance. Choosing between types of stainless steel for medical devices presents a key design trade-off. Some types offer excellent formability for deep-drawn components, whereas others provide superior corrosion resistance in surgical environments exposed to chloride-containing fluids.

Precision Metal Stamping and Laser Cutting for Construction Components

Many types of metal structural elements, fastening and support components, and parts used in power tools are fabricated with metal stamping and laser cutting processes. Both of these high-precision operations are quick, repeatable, and known for efficient use of materials.

In construction applications, it's important for materials to be uniform and manufactured to meet OEM and customer requirements so that structural pieces fit correctly in framing assemblies, brackets hold pieces in place without torquing, and tool parts stand up to heavy use and jobsite wear and tear. Therefore, the ability to stamp and cut components to specified dimensions with necessary part features is critical.

The Benefits of Metal Stamping and Laser Cutting for Construction Applications

Both metal stamping and laser cutting offer numerous advantages in the construction industry.

Metal Stamping

Metal stamping uses cutting tools and dies mounted into a high-tonnage stamping press. As the upper tooling moves downward onto a sheet or strip of metal, specific shapes and features are formed. Material is held in close alignment throughout the process, which results in high accuracy and repeatability cycle after cycle. Evans manufactures all tooling and dies in-house. Some of the benefits of stamping components include:

• Strength and durability. Metal stamping is compatible with many types and thicknesses of material including alloys, steel, and aluminum. As a result, it's possible to fabricate a range of part types from very small delicate and intricate brackets to heavier yet simple shapes.
• Accuracy and precision. Metal stamping tooling and guiding elements are designed and manufactured to make the specified part features within very tight tolerances, so there is little variation between parts. This means assemblies fit together better, features like notches and holes are aligned correctly, and components are highly uniform.
• Cost-effectiveness. Metal stamping is cost-effective thanks to its very low error rate, which results in less scrap and wasted material. Stamping is suitable for both low- and high-volume production, and it requires less energy and labor than machining and alternative processes.
• Versatility. There are many different stamping operations, from shearing and blanking to piercing, bending, notching, and others. This means it can be used to form a wide range of parts efficiently and reliably. Stamping is also suitable for highly customized parts and components.

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting uses a computer to guide a powerful laser along a predetermined cutting path. It makes precise, clean cuts that need little to no additional finishing. It offers these advantages:

• Accuracy and precision. Laser cutting offers a combination of precision and accuracy with every cut, which is necessary in construction for developing parts with tight tolerances and complex designs. Laser cutting is also highly repeatable because all of the laser's movements are controlled by computerized work instructions.
• Efficiency and speed. The laser's power and the speed of the arm holding it can be adjusted to best suit the type and thickness of the material being cut. This means laser cutting is very fast, but it can also be slowed down when necessary to maintain clean cut edges and tolerances, depending on the material and component in question.
• Material versatility. Lasers can be used to cut many different materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and wood.
• Minimal material waste. In laser cutting, the layout of how pieces are cut out of a sheet of metal is designed to generate minimal waste. The goal is to get as much from each sheet of material as possible.

Construction Industry Applications

Metal stamping and laser cutting are useful processes for many applications in or related to the construction industry.

Steel Pallets

The interlocking pieces of a steel pallet can be laser cut for clean cut edges and precise dimensions that assemble easily.

I-Beams

Also called H-beams with an H-shaped cross section, I-beams consist of a vertical "web" and "I"-shaped flanges. Lasers can be used to cut holes and other features into them for use with fasteners in structural assemblies.

Brackets and Connectors

Truss plates, joist hangers, gang nail plates, and other types of brackets and connectors can be stamped from steel or other metals.

Equipment Parts

Many of the parts used in construction equipment are stamped or laser cut, including components in frames, fuel tanks, heat shields, enclosures, tank straps, and toggle switch guards.

Power Tools

Some of the parts in saws, grinders, and drills are manufactured by stamping or laser cutting. Jigs and other devices used with them may contain stamped parts also.
