Mills Products, Inc. is a turnkey metal fabricator with a reputation for producing lightweight, aesthetically-superior parts. Our specialty is condensing multiple parts into Single, Lightweight Rolled or Formed Parts. Our state-of-the-art facilities offer Hydroforming, Tubular Stamping, Roll Forming, Assembly and Finishing Services - including Machining, Welding and Powder Coating. As a direct result of diverse component manufacturing capabilities, we can match each part with the optimal process. We produce different types of parts such as Stainless Steel Handles, Decorative Trims, Window Assemblies and Tier-2 Automotive Components. We serve several industries such as Aerospace, Alternative Energy, ATV, Marine, Medical/Pharmaceutical and Military. Tubular StampingTube Stamping is a relatively new technology used to produce complex, tubular parts that are generally uncommon in the stamping world. Tube stamping offers design advantages, greater strength-to-weight ratios and up to 30% lower manufacturing costs than screw-machined parts, die casting & aluminum extrusions. We can often implement special design features, such as hemmed or coined edges, without incurring additional machining costs. We can convert the existing machined parts into tubular stamped components to achieve the following benefits:Class A finishesCost-savings and weight reduction opportunitiesHighly complex, tubular shapes and partsVarying shapes (round, oval, square, etc.) and diametersValue-added features such as fasteners can be installed during the stamping processAesthetic design features such as hemmed edges and coined shapesCommon tubular stamped shapes include open, diagonal & overlap seams, angular ends, oil grooves, special shapes, flanged or nosed-in ends, notches, V-joints, projections, beads, handles T and bolt threads. Roll FormingRoll Forming is ideal for OEMs looking to economically produce high volumes of close tolerance parts with a broad range of geometries. Our Custom Roll Forming Services convert both ferrous and non-ferrous metals into hardened states that maximize strength, reduce weight & decrease labor costs versus extrusions. Our inline sweeping & arcing capabilities can create complex, aesthetically-superior parts such as automotive cargo shade components, range & refrigeration components, point of purchase display components, bicycle frames and Oven Window components. Our process begins by passing a long strip of coiled metal through a series of incremental bends until a final cross-section profile is achieved. We use a highly efficient in-line process that minimizes part handling and reduces customer costs. Our Roll Forming process replaces higher cost plastics & extruded parts, reduces waste, secondary operations & labor costs, and fabricate finished or painted parts. Our process can accommodate 22 sets of rolls with a maximum thickness of 0.062 inches. Our extensive metal forming capabilities allow to produce a wide variety of shapes & sizes - including Structural Components designed to strengthen and support the designs. HydroformingOur thin wall tubular hydroforming allows to produce lightweight, complex parts with seamless aesthetics that would be impossible to cost-effectively reproduce using traditional forming methods. We have introduced tubular hydroforming to the appliance industry and are used for converting multi-part assemblies into lighter & stronger hydroformed parts. Hydroforming's high strength-to-weight ratio produces high dimensional stability in fewer operations than traditional stamping or welding. We can introduce flexible design options such as large radius sweeps, cross-sectional shape transitions from round to elliptical, multi-sided cross sections and variable expansions of diameters of up to 35%. Finite Element AnalysisFinite Element Analysis is a key component of Design And Engineering process that helps to predict potential design flaws before production begins. We take customer-generated data and develop prototypes of products & tooling to facilitate early design improvements. We work to optimize the product/tooling design & process parameters, simulate the severity of tube expansion, accurately predict material thinning and determine failure/success rates prior to manufacturing. We can also tool welding fixtures in-house to control cost and meet timelines. We specialize in producing custom, specialized handles without specialized costs.
