Argo Spring Manufacturing Co., Inc.

United States

Compression springs are linear load resistant springs that are commonly used as an efficient method of storing energy. Argo Spring Manufacturing's versatile equipment is capable of producing custom compression springs of variable pitch and ground within 1.End Types Include:Plain: Open or closedSquared: most commonly designed with closed ends to provide uniform force distributionGround: provides flat planes and stabilityGroundSquare: utilized for applications that require small loadrate tolerances and used for its durable and non-buckling characteristics.

In applications requiring resistance to a pulling force, Argo Spring custom produces extension springs of any length, end type, and degree of tension. We produce extension springs custom designed to produce the desired return force at any spring position by offering:Hooks ends: machine, extended, over-center, swivelLoop ends: full loops and double twisted

Torsion Springs are utilized in products that require a resistance to or application of torque. Once a load is applied to the legs, torsion springs deflect and elongate resulting in an angular return force. Torsion springs are closely wound with various leg configurations, such as straight legs and multiple leg bends. The direction of the wind, clockwise or counter-clockwise, is determined by the application.

With a combination of hydraulic and mechanical presses, Argo Spring specializes in custom precision metal stampings for low volume to long-run production quantities. After a review of the dimensional requirements, our in-house tool room uses EDM machining to create the dies that make any customer's design concept into reality. Our expert tool and die makers ensure each die will result in continuous repeatability for each part, this is also done by utilizing precision servo feeders to ensure precise progression.The metal fabrication process includes blanking, forming, and drawing operations that minimize the cost of scrap material. With rapid production rates of 1500 hits per minute, our automatic press brakes provide fast turnaround times without sacrificing close tolerances or quality standards. Our hydraulic and manual punch presses are a low-cost solution with a variety of different tool sizes for notching and punching complex and intricate holes and shapes.

The cost-effective CNC wire forming and four-slide machinery are capable of limitless configurations for custom strips and wire parts. Each production set-up is performed by Argo's in-house tool room which uses EDM machining to create the wire and four-slide tooling dies. Our expert tool and die makers ensure each die will result in uniform thicknesses and dimensional integrity.The four-slide fabrication process uses multiple slide motions that are capable of producing intricate parts in one pass. This eliminates costly secondary tooling set-ups and poor-quality manual operations. Depending on the complexity, Argo Spring's four-slide machinery can produce high volume production runs of up to 7000 units per hour.Custom four-slide products include:Spring clipsFastenersClamps

Our objective at Argo Spring Manufacturing is to provide a single source for the entire production process at a competitive price. Besides our product design and manufacturing capabilities, we offer post-production requests, such as mechanical assembly, packaging, and delivery services.Our automated assembly department ensures a quality finished product for small to large production runs. With a flexible labor force, manual operations are handled efficiently with a short turnaround time. We commonly perform a combination of riveting, hardware insertion, brazing, tapping, threading, and MIGTIG welding during the final assembly stages.In addition, each manufactured part can be sorted, kitted, and labeled with bar codes, general product information, andor any other customer specific inventory control tag. Whether resealable bags for small springs or cardboard boxes for large ornamental tubings, Argo will bag and deliver parts based on the customer's requirements.

Argo Spring custom manufactures clock springs, also known as power springs, from flat-stock material for widths and thicknesses of up to 3" and 0.375", respectively. These close-wound springs store rotational energy when turned about the center shaft.Common applications include:ReelsRetractable safety devicesToysMechanical motorsKitchen timers

Custom leaf springs are designed to meet the requirements for small mechanical assemblies. Argo Spring also manufactures production of leaf springs to the trailer and automotive industries.

Argo Spring's custom tube bending process can meet the demands of low or high volume production with hydraulic, manual, mechanical, and roll bending equipment. By utilizing multi-axis, dual radius tube bending equipment, Argo Spring can accommodate challenging designs requiring single or multi-plane bends. Our precision equipment provides smooth uniform bends that minimize crimping and collapsing distortions that result in poor quality.With an experienced engineering department, we interact with the customers to find the right combination of wall thicknesses, diameters, number of bends, and angles that are best suited for the tubing applications. Our staff will advise on design constraints and potential production issues for material ranging from round mild steel to square bronze tubings.

Finished overall dimensions of the spring were 9" by 1.75" using .375 wire diameter, manufactured holding a tight 0.015" tolerance on all formed dimensions. 16, 000 springs were fabricated for this project, custom packaged and shipped to the customer in Minnesota. For more details about this custom torsion spring fabrication or our other manufacturing services please see the table below or contact us directly. Argo Spring was commissioned to complete the manufacturing of a custom spiral torsion spring to be utilized in an agricultural equipment application. Employing on-site state-of-the-art equipment, 17-7 PH stainless steel was manipulated with blanking. The coil spring was formed with our highly developed winding process, per the customer supplied 2D CAD drawings. Excess material was trimmed, and the spring was heat treated to eliminate incurred production stresses and to increase strength and wear resistance. The part was thoroughly tested and inspected for quality and accuracy with functionality testing, as well as visual, and dimensional inspection methods.
