Storm's copper fabricating capabilities are numerous and full into the following major process paths:

Punching - This type of copper fabricating is done CNC punches. These punches have multiple tool holders and have the tonnage to punch up to .500" thick copper bar and plate. The tolerance with this particular copper fabricating equipment is +/- .020".

Stamping - This method of copper fabricating is performed with high tonnage presses. Even so, the maximum thickness copper typically stamped is .250". The tolerance on this method of copper fabricating varies depending on the tooling employed.

Turret Punching - This piece of equipment performs punching and cutting the outside perimeter of the copper part. This is the primary method of producing parts with odd shapes, tabs or fingers. Generally, the thickness of the copper is .250" and less. Tolerances associated with this particular process is +/- .005".

Machining - This method of fabricating copper, also known as milling, has the greatest versatility and can produce an almost endless array of copper fabrications. Moreover, tolerances as close as .001" can be achieved with this equipment. Unfortunately, it is also a relatively higher cost method of production because of the significant set-up and tooling costs.

Forming - This is a secondary step in the copper fabricating process and is performed after the part has been cut to length and punched or milled. During this process the part is bent or formed to the specifications of the print.

Plating - This is normally the final step in the copper fabricating process. Storm can electroplate tin, lead, numerous tin/lead alloys, silver and nickel. It is worth noting that the copper parts are deburred prior the electroplating operation.
