In spring manufacturing, a few thousandths of an inch can truly make all the difference. Tight, consistent tolerances are essential for ensuring performance, reliability, and long-term durability.

Four-slide and multi-slide metal stamping is widely used for producing complex, precision metal parts, where the material needs to form from multiple directions.  These machines are efficient for manufacturing clips, brackets, flat springs, compression limiters, and more.   

Assembly quality control matters — not just while the parts are at our plant, but for every step in the process thereafter. Apex understands this, and therefore ensures that your assemblies meet the highest standards before they reach the next line, or the end customers.

For purchasing managers, product designers, and manufacturing professionals, understanding where and how springs are used can spark new ideas, uncover cost-saving opportunities, and reveal smarter ways to solve mechanical problems. Let’s explore some of the applications of compression, extension, and torsion springs—and why customization matters more than you might think. 

Springs may appear simple, but their behavior and integrity when in use can change dramatically when exposed to extreme heat or extreme cold. Temperature plays a critical role in how a spring functions in any application.  At Apex we have a deep understanding of materials and engineering around those challenges.

Apex is you custom manufacturing solution from start to finish and everywhere in between. How does that work? Let’s take a deeper look.

At Apex, we are set up to customize your project for your unique needs.  Sometimes this means building a tool for a stamping product.   So, to help you better understand the partnership when trusting Apex with your tooling, we put together some of the most frequently asked questions regarding tools built at Apex. 

In the spring industry, Carbon is a key element that makes the material have “Spring.” Learn more about carbon and its amazing contribution to spring manufacturing!

As tariffs continue to be unpredictable, many American manufacturers are facing increased costs and uncertainty when importing parts. We understand how challenging it can be to navigate these changes—especially when cost control is crucial to maintaining profitability and competitive advantage.  Here’s why Apex is the right onshore partner for your business.

Understanding spring applications can be the key to a successful product, so it is important to know how they work but also why they fail.
