Following prolonged use, the domed form area of this component was prone to splitting. We enhanced the customers original design using a bespoke formed rivet as a contact face. This vastly improved longevity and prevented failure. Cost was a factor thus preventing further operations. Our answer, the flexible, efficient 'multi-slide' press. Tooling was engineered allowing the contact to be cut and formed allowing copper rivets to be 'bowl fed' to a precision forming die. Rivets were inserted, their backs swaged, optimizing adhesion to the brush contact. The products life was extended a hundred fold.
