Precision Wire Forms

For more than 60 years, Argo Spring Manufacturing Co., Inc. has been a trusted supplier of high‑quality precision wire products. Our manufacturing capabilities include springs, metal stampings, wireforms, four‑slide products, assemblies, and screw machine parts. 

With a skilled engineering department, advanced CNC and four-slide equipment, and an in‑house tool room, we can produce custom precision wire forms that match each customer’s exact design and performance requirements.

What Are Precision Wire Forms?

Precision wire forms are components created by bending, cutting, coiling, and shaping wire into specific sizes and configurations. The process often uses advanced manufacturing methods such as CNC, multi‑slide, and four‑slide forming to achieve complex geometries.

Argo’s four‑slide fabrication process uses multiple slide motions to produce intricate parts in a single pass. This method eliminates costly secondary tooling setups and reduces the risk of inconsistent manual operations. Our four‑slide machinery can achieve high‑volume runs of up to 7,000 units per hour, depending on part complexity.

We can accommodate:

• Wire diameters from 0.003 inches to 0.375 inches
• Flat stock from 0.003 inches to 0.250 inches
• A range of shapes and configurations to meet customer needs

Material options include carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, copper, bronze, brass, and nickel. We also offer coatings such as black oxide or powder coating in any color, as well as plating in zinc, cadmium, tin, silver, gold, and other precious metals.

Secondary operations available include brazing, MIG and TIG welding, riveting, tapping, threading, and hardware insertion.

Benefits and Applications of Precision Wire Products

Custom precision wire forms are used across a broad range of industries, from medical and electronics to automotive and industrial equipment. These components are often designed to add structural stability, create electrical connections, or function as mechanical linkages within larger assemblies.

Why Choose Argo for Precision Wire Forms?

All production setups are completed in our in‑house toolroom, where EDM machining is used to create the wire and four‑slide tooling dies. Our experienced tool and die makers make sure each die will result in uniform thickness and dimensional accuracy.

We maintain ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 certifications, follow a mandatory first‑article inspection process, and use quality control tools such as optical comparators, load testers, and Rockwell hardness testing. These measures help identify potential defects early and maintain compliance with demanding industry standards. Our engineering team works closely with customers to develop designs that meet performance requirements and align with application needs.

Case Study: Large-Diameter Extension Springs for the Aerospace Industry

For a previous aerospace project, Argo Spring manufactured 75 large‑diameter titanium extension springs using 0.259‑inch Beta C treated cold‑drawn titanium. The springs featured tapered coils with hooked ends, formed through precision machining processes. Secondary operations included shot peening to improve fatigue life, liquid penetrant inspection to confirm a defect‑free surface, and priming. All parts were produced to customer specifications and delivered on a tight schedule.
