Capabilities

Use our engineering experience for your project—whether its prototyping or large scale production.

Materials

From aluminum to stainless and all ferrous and non-ferrous metals in between, we have the suppliers and experience to form the alloy your part requires.

Tempers

Eliminate the cost of post-production heat treatment by using a tempered material. One of the many advantages of the fourslide process is that good tooling design and the flexibility of the machines excel at compensating for the spring back of different tempered materials.

Machines

For your part to have dimensional consistency and high product quality, we know the size of the machine has to be just right. Because of this, we offer a full line-up of machines to produce your part.

A four slide machine is capable of producing multiple thousands of parts per hour with precision and minimal product waste, meaning you get your part quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. No matter what type of small part is needed, our four slide machines can be modified to fit your part production requirements. We can easily process parts with materials such as aluminum, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, stainless steel, and brass.

Wondering whether your part qualifies for manufacturing on a four slide machine? These machines can complete numerous complex operations in a single pass including greater than 90-degree bends, twists, multiple bends, threaded holes, and the creation of cylindrical forms. Nearly every industry uses or needs products that can be produced on a four slide machine. At Wm Dudek Manufacturing, we have nearly 100 years’ worth of experience manufacturing parts for applications including appliances, electrical controls, electrical distribution, material handling, liquid dispensing, consumer electronics, and material processing.

Parts of all shapes and sizes can be manufactured on a four slide machine including spring clips, clamps, contacts, tube connectors, handles, and tube supports to name a few. Nearly every industry that utilizes small parts that are bent, rounded, or shaped to custom specifications will find an application using four slide production.

By using this versatile solution for manufacturing, you’ll have access to faster turnaround times, reduced material loss, and a reduction in your overall cost per part. We know how important it is to keep your costs down and your revenue up while maintaining high order volumes for multiple clients in different industry sectors. That’s why we focus on providing the best in four slide parts and passing along the dramatic cost and time savings to each of our customers. We exist to help solve your manufacturing needs with a dynamic four slide solution.
