Precision Cutting and Deburring
TE Connectivity, offers a complete range of cutting methods to suit the most specific requirement — from rough cuts to extremely precise, burr-free cuts with high quality edges and finishes.
The Cutting and Deburring Department can cut stock of virtually any O.D. but specializes in sizes under 1.0″ O.D., and can cut stock as small as 0.005″ O.D. metal stock can be cut to lengths as short as .010″ up to 20+ feet, with tolerances of ± 0.0005″ or better.
Materials include all alloys of Stainless Steel, Titanium, Copper, Aluminum, Nickel, Nitinol and Superalloys such as Hastelloy®, Inconel®, Monel.
TE Connectivity can also satisfy any capacity requirement, from one piece to millions of pieces, and offers exceptionally short lead times.
