Clip Fasteners and Spring Clip Fasteners

Atlantic Precision Spring, Inc. is a manufacturer of spring clip fasteners. Producing a wide variety of clip fasteners for many different applications. Ranging from clips for; automotive, aerospace, medical, and hardware to name a few. These spring clip fasteners range in size from material of .003 thick to .125.

Typical materials used to produce spring clip fasteners are carbon steel and stainless steel. These materials are available in all grades and tempers. Complex forming in high carbon steel is accomplished by the use of annealed material. The part will then be heat-treated and tempered to obtain it's full spring characteristic. When required various finishes are available out of zinc plate or nickel plate to prevent the material from rusting over time for some applications. Stainless Steel is often the material of choice do to its corrosion resistance. Material spring programs at Atlantic Precision Spring are used to assist in the optimal part configuration to reduce tooling cost and increase part performance.

The different processes that are available at Atlantic Precision Spring, Inc. are unique because there are many different methods of producing the spring clip fastener. The choice is determined depending on the parts; complexity, material type, material thickness, overall size, and volume. One possibility is creating tooling for a wide assortment of power presses that range in size, tonnage, and speed. These machines can be used for large volume precision spring clip fasteners. Another way to manufacture fasteners is to build them complete off of a fourslide or multi-slide machine. These machines produce the parts at a fraction of the cost of a power press progressive tool. Finally our Short Run Department is equipped with pneumatic presses that can bend, cut, and draw customers prototypes, production, with minimal amount of tooling. This department can also works in conjunction with the power press and fourslide departments to produce spring clip fasteners to tolerance using the best possible means.

Atlantic Precision Spring, Inc. is a leader in the manufacture of spring clip fasteners. A Quality Assurance Department is based upon the policies and procedures of ISO 9001:2008 certification. Networked statistical process control “spc” stations monitor production throughout all of the processes required. An extra level of quality inspection is using laser sensor technologies to assure each part in a progressive tool is verified to dimensional tolerance. This is available in large volume production using power press equipment.
