How Is TPC Converting Different From Other Competitors in the Automotive Industry?
At TPC Converting, we offer decades of experience and specialized expertise in the automotive industry. Our extensive capabilities and cutting-edge equipment allow us to deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions. We can help you develop a prototype, streamline your industrial processes, and obtain high-quality products that meet all your specifications.
Rapid Prototyping
Our rapid prototyping services streamline the product development process. Using a variety of fabrication techniques, we quickly transform CAD design data into a scale model of the part or assembly.
Custom Automation
We streamline industrial processes, enhancing your manufacturing capabilities. We create partial and fully automated solutions that are tailored to your exact needs.
Laser Cutting
Our laser-cutting capabilities allow us to cut through even the most fragile and brittle materials without placing any residual stress on the component. This subtractive manufacturing process uses a computer numerical control (CNC) laser to cut through materials with a high degree of precision and accuracy. Laser cutting can drill holes as small as 5 microns (µ), creating finished products that adhere to even the most precise specifications.
Toolless Production
Our toolless production capabilities include CNC machining and laser cutting.
Printed Products
TPC Converting offers highly customizable printed products with short lead times, proofing, and design services. In addition to PMS color matching, we also offer invisible ink and create printed products that feature one to three colors. Our printing services are commonly used in applications such as:
- Product identification
- Branding
- Marketing
- Security
- Customer loyalty
Adhesive Engineering
While numerous types of adhesive materials are used by the automotive industry, synthetic resins developed to reliably bond with metal are particularly useful. These high-strength adhesives are known as engineering adhesives. They are fluid when the joint is made, to easily flow and coat each faying surface.
Automotive Converting Materials Features
Converting materials in automotive applications deliver a number of versatile benefits:
- Harness wrap: We offer numerous material options for wire harnesses and cable wrapping, including both adhesive and non-adhesive backings.
- Protective masking: Our protective masking solutions provide temporary protection throughout production processes and transportation.
- Sound and vibration dampening: We offer a wide range of materials that mitigate sounds and vibrations. We can laminate and die-cut multiple material layers to your exact specifications.
- Squeaks and rattles: The high abrasion resistance and low coefficient of friction in our products eliminate many squeaking and rattling sounds.
- Thermal management: Our die-cut and fabricated heat shields isolate temperature-sensitive areas, such as fuel lines, floor boards, firewalls, and starters.
- Upholstery materials: Utilizing spray adhesive and heat seal technology, we offer numerous options for upholstery bonding applications.
