Brainard utilizes Single and Double-Blow Headers, along with progressive machines up to Five-Dies-Five-Blows. Cold headed manufacturing offers quicker set-up and order turnaround; less scrap with longer tool life. Wire drawers located at each heading station greatly reduce raw material requirements. Most tooling required for manufacturing is crafted on-site. Additional in-house processes are: drilling, grooving, shaving, threading and knurling. Various in-house heat-treat options are also available. When required, parts are cleaned with organic material in non-polluting units. All of which leads to lower costs and faster lead-times.
