Stamped Automotive Components
Some of the automotive metal stampings we provide for our automotive customers include bus bars, terminals, lead frames, battery cable connectors, electrical contacts, inserts for plastic moldings, brackets, shields, clips, and press-fit pins. These components have extremely tight tolerances and strict requirements and are supplied to car, truck, sports vehicle, defense vehicle, and hybrid electric vehicle manufacturers for applications such as wire harnesses, batteries, motors, lights, engines, seating, alternators, control systems, steering wheels, security systems, fuel systems, brake systems, and more.
China Plate Contact serves OEM and tier automotive manufacturers with premier high-speed and heavy stamping services. We also offer engineering, prototyping, and tooling support to include all stamped automotive components functions in one stamping operation. Throughout our facility, we’ve employed highly technical and automated camera vision systems and sensors to monitor parts coming off the punch presses and established a reputation of 100% quality assured stamping production. Operations tracking is also implemented throughout China Plate Contact’s manufacturing facility. We use press monitoring controllers to measure OEE and quality performance to ensure production is always operating at high efficiency and meeting customer deadlines.
Our research and development team works diligently to select and acquire only the latest and greatest equipment and manufacturing technology for flawless production. We invest 3-5% of our revenue back into the business for equipment, facility and process improvements, and employee training. We understand our technology and our staff is what delivers superior product time and time again.
Additionally, China Plate Contact mass produces metal stampings for insert molded applications. A large part of our customer base is plastics processing professionals specializing in insert and injection molding. Insert and injection molding manufacturers require high precision and quality metal stampings in order to perform their specialized processes. We work directly with our insert and injection molding customers to supply the stampings they need for programs they’re working on with their manufacturing customers.

China Plate Contact METAL STAMPING SERVICES FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY & AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS
We Prioritize customer satisfaction
At China Plate Contact, our utmost priority is customer satisfaction with the quality and integrity of our parts. In-die sensors, press monitoring systems, camera vision systems and a dedicated inspection team ensure parts leaving the production line exceed customer expectations.
PRESS MONITORING
The press monitoring system tracks production OEE and offers real-time data feedback reporting from every press on the shop floor. Data collected is used to drive efficiency and eliminate downtime so raw material is processed through machines quicker, parts are coming off the presses at accelerated speeds and parts are delivered and in the hands of our customers on time. As an advanced quality measure, multiple in-die sensors and in-line camera vision systems inspect critical dimensions of all running parts at high speed and high accuracy to eliminate error and ensure the consistent delivery of quality parts.
