Fourslide Production

At CSS, we offer multiple types of slide forming machinery, which often proves economical for the production of intricate springs, stampings and wire forms. Our machines are state of the art using servos and die protection. We are always expanding our capabilities. Multislide forming machines are still an extremely cost effective option for the right combination of material, part configuration and number of parts needed. We have excellent success using progressive slide forming equipment to produce parts for many different sectors including Medical/Aerospace/Electronics and many more.

Our fourslide, multislide, vertislide and Bihler machines are able to produce parts that cost substantially less than parts produced from power press tools. Slide forming machines do not need a carrying strip like that needed by progressive tools, so they are able to use material more efficiently. It is key in reducing waste to develop a cost-effective part when the cost of materials can be as high as $60-70 per pound.

• Fourslide tools cost substantially less than power press tools and are able to produce accurate, repeatable parts.
• Bihler technology offers servo slide capabilities with the option of radial or linear forming using cassette tooling.
• The Multislide machine is very similar to the fourslide, but with the exception of up to 8 slides for extra forming motions. It can also often accommodate slightly thicker parts.
• Vertislide refers to a fourslide or multislide machine that has its slides and tooling in a vertical position.
