ORDNANCE FUZING
Built for repeatable function and dependable performance in demanding defense assemblies
In ordnance fuzing, the challenge isn’t making one good part — it’s keeping stamped components consistent across every production lot so safety, arming, interrupt, contact, retention, and delay functions never drift.
We manufacture fuzing stamped parts with the tooling discipline, CTQ-driven inspection, and process controls that function-critical hardware demands.
Ordnance Fuzing Components
Precision stampings for fuze, S&A, timing, contact, and retainer components.
More repeatable fit, movement, restraint, and functional consistency across production lots.
DfM Support Before Tooling Starts
Early review of geometry, burr risk, material behavior, and assembly interaction
Fewer tooling surprises, fewer late design changes, and lower risk of functional issues at first article and launch.
Tight Tolerances Where Function Depends on It
Critical features controlled around indexing, restraint, release, seating, and motion transfer.
Better control of the dimensions that actually affect fuze performance, timing, retention, and assembly repeatability.
Materials Used in Fuzing Hardware
Application-driven material selection for force, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and forming stability.
Material choices matched to the real job of the part, whether that means spring behavior, electrical continuity, non-sparking needs, or long-term dimensional stability.
Thin, Small, and Burr-Sensitive Stamped Parts
Compact precision stampings where edge condition, flatness, and fine features matter.
Cleaner edges, less part damage, and more stable production outcomes for small fuzing components where minor variation can create major problems.
Secondary Ops and Finishing Coordination
Deburring, coining, plating, heat-treat, cleaning, and inspection support.
Better alignment between stamped-part geometry and finished-part performance, with fewer supplier handoffs and fewer downstream issues.
Packaging, Kitting, and Controlled Lot Delivery
Packaging planned for traceability, protection, orientation, and assembly flow.
Easier receiving, lower mixed-lot risk, and better protection for small fuzing parts that can be damaged by handling, tangling, or poor packaging.
Quality Deliverables & Compliance
SPC, FAI/FAIR, inspection reporting, lot traceability, and ITAR-aware quality support.
Easier audits, stronger documentation, and greater confidence in regulated, defense-oriented, and high-accountability supply chains.
frequently asked
questions
Material Behavior & Springback
Wire-formed parts are sensitive to diameter, temper, bend radius, and residual stress. We account for those variables so the part returns to the intended geometry after forming and stays stable in production.
Functional Geometry
Critical characteristics are defined around how the part actually works in the assembly: leg spacing, overall formed height, offsets, angles, engagement features, and installed position.
Insertion, Retention & Force-Critical Features
When the part has to snap in, hold position, spring back, or maintain contact force, we focus on the dimensions and material behavior that drive that performance.
End Condition & Mating Fit
Cut-end condition, tip geometry, burr level, and edge condition are managed based on how the wire form enters a hole, slot, molded cavity, or mating feature.
Surface Finish & Secondary Processing
Where required, plating, passivation, stress relief, or heat treatment are planned around corrosion resistance, conductivity, wear, and fit.
Handling & Packaging Protection
Wire forms can tangle, nest, or deform if packaging is wrong. We plan packaging and part orientation to protect usable geometry through shipment and handling.
Inspection Aligned to Real Use
Inspection is built around functional datums and installed geometry where applicable, so checks reflect how the component performs in the actual assembly.
