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 Shaped Wire is constantly investing in capital equipment to ensure the highest quality products. Our production equipment uses the latest in “on-line” gauging and data acquisition technology, generating full statistical summaries with each production run. This cutting edge technology enables us to get better every time we run a job, and to control our process and offer tolerances as tight as +/- .0025mm (.0001”), on our light gauge products. We also offer rapid prototyping and custom wire profiles and shapes on new product development, and design to meet the needs of our customers in demanding markets such as medical, nuclear, aerospace, solar, electronics, and many more.
We have near limitless capabilities to produce custom shaped wire in any profile, but some common profiles we produce include:
