Our largest H-mill can handle incoming strip material up to .125” thick, while our smallest Z-mill can roll foil as light as .00039″: an order of magnitude thinner than a human hair.
From Round to Square edge, our slitters have the ability to separate a wide strip into “mults” or narrower strips to achieve your desired width with as much minimized burr as possible.
From Bright to Dull or Quarter Hard to Extra Full Hard, Ulbrich has the ability to control your desired surface finish and mechanical properties of your Precision Strip & Wire products.
Throughout multiple facilities across the world, Ulbrich produces a vast array of rolled stainless steel and special metals products from widely available standard specifications to meet unique customer needs including: thickness, width, specific mechanical properties, industry specifications and many other critical characteristics. We are continually investing in our equipment, technology, and staff to meet the needs of our customers in demanding markets such as medical, nuclear, aerospace, solar, electronics and many more. With our rapid prototyping abilities, we can help you develop and design a new product at speed.
Below, you will find a list of our product-specific capabilities. Use these as general guidelines for your industrial manufacturing needs. If you have any additional questions, one of our representatives would be happy to speak with you.
Re-roller and distributor of over 100 alloys of precision strip and foil including stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloy and cobalt alloy.
Custom engineered precision wire products including; Fine Wire, Round Wire, Flat Wire, and Shaped Profiles.
Shaped Wire is produced to exacting cross-sectional dimensions in our dedicated shaped wire facility. Shaped profile wire minimizes or eliminates costly machining by being net, or near net, in shape.
Ulbrich Solar Technologies is the world leader in PV Ribbon innovation and manufacturing of products that interconnect and transmit current for crystalline solar cells and thin film modules.
Ulbrich is the global leader in precision stainless steel sheets and blanks. Our service centers utilize the latest processing technology to produce precision sheet and blanks that are cut to the lengths and specs you require.
