Stripmatic Products, Inc.

Stripmatic Products introduced wrapped tube design for automotive head rest tube applications in 1999 on the Ford U-152 (Explorer platform) and the D-186 (Taurus platform). We collaborated with design engineers at Lear Corp to satisfy all of the test requirements needed to meet strict industry standards. Stripmatic’s wrapped tube process allows notches & punched features to be done “in-process” eliminating costly secondary operations that were required to make the same out of cut off tubes.

Meeting and exceeding tight-tolerance bushing specifications is where wrapped-tube fabrication excels over cut-off tube alternatives.

Stripmatic has developed a manufacturing process to make inserts that will hold up to the molding process, prevent ID seepage and be less expensive than machined inserts.

Carbon and alloy steels to achieve engineered surface hardness and tensil strength Repeatable and consistent press fit efforts into side plates Machine chamfers when bushing length is critical Notches, lead edges, and access holes and features that can be done in-process to eliminate secondary operations

Our precision wrapped-tube fabrication process is designed to meet and exceed high-quality standards and challenging engineering specifications for structual spacers on chassis and frames structural spacers.

Quick prototype and sample turnaround Exceptional track record for quick response time on quality issues EDI and CAD technical support Inventory control using customer-based inventory management systems Over 60 years of wrapped tube technical support
