Stamped Hinge Enquiries: Keep the Formed Part and Assembly Requirements Clear
Identify the Manufacturing Requirement
Stamped hinges should be described by the formed component and assembly required. A stamped part is not automatically interchangeable with a cast hinge of similar appearance. When enquiring through CastingFoundries, identify the selected product and specify the required manufacturing route where this is part of the design.
Define the Sheet and Formed Geometry
Show the required material, thickness, developed or finished dimensions and mounting holes on the drawing. Include the bend and knuckle arrangement and the relationship to the pin. Distinguish dimensions that apply before forming from those checked on the finished assembly so the component can be reviewed against the correct condition.
Agree Finish and Assembly Scope
Describe any surface treatment and the appearance required on exposed areas. Identify pin material, supplied fasteners and other assembly items separately. State the sample checks needed for mounting fit and the finished hinge arrangement. The quotation should make clear which parts and operations are included.
Prepare the Production Enquiry
Send CastingFoundries the hinge drawings, revision, quantities and acceptance requirements. Include the requested documentation and packing details. Use an approved sample and assembly specification as the common reference, particularly when the order contains several hinge sizes or orientations.
