Supporting producers Worldwide

U.S. Baird equipment has enabled manufacturers for decades to produce high-volume, precision metal components for the automotive, defense, battery, electronics, consumer products, wire forming, industrial hardware markets, and more, globally.

Aerospace

Precision in the Air

Aerospace manufacturers depend on precision manufacturing processes capable of producing complex components with exacting tolerances.

Common applications include: electrical connector components, precision fasteners, specialty brackets, aircraft hardware, and sensor components.

Automotive

Driving Key Producers

The automotive industry has long relied on U.S. Baird transfer presses for high-volume production. As vehicle electrification continues to expand, Baird presses remain well-suited for producing the small, high-precision components required throughout modern automotive systems.

Common applications include: electrical terminals and connectors, sensor components, fuse contacts, battery components, fasteners and clips, and precision stampings.

Battery & Energy

Precision Battery Components

As battery technology continues to expand, manufacturers require high-volume production systems capable of producing consistent, precisely formed metal components.

Common applications include: battery shells and cases, drawn battery shells, cylindrical cell components, battery terminals and contacts, metal housings and covers, other precision electrical components, and energy storage hardware.

Complex Forming

Complex Multi-Stage Forming

By performing multiple forming operations in sequence, U.S. Baird transfer presses can transform flat metal stock into complex components with consistent dimensions and repeatable results.

Where needed, U.S. Baird presses, which offer a range of up to 23 stations, can be tooled to a series of drawing, redrawing, forming, piercing, trimming, coining, sizing and other secondary operations to form complex parts with precision.

Consumer Products

Behind Everyday Needs

Many everyday products contain components originally manufactured on Baird transfer presses. Our machines provide the flexibility to produce millions of identical parts while maintaining consistent quality.

Common applications include: appliance components, consumer electronics hardware, general hardware & fasteners, lock components, and household product assemblies.

Defense

Defending the U.S. & Allies

Defense demands equipment capable of maintaining tight tolerances, repeatable forming, and dependable production over extended operating cycles. U.S Baird plays a critical role in the production of MIL-SPEC ammunition components.

Common applications include: cartridge cases, projectile components, drawn ammunition components, cups and shells, defense hardware, fuses and related components, electrical and connector components, and protective housings.

Electronics

Powering the Future

For decades, manufacturers have used Baird equipment to produce intricate electronic components requiring tight tolerances and exceptional repeatability.

Common applications include: connector terminals, relay components, switch contacts, shielding components, EMI/RFI contacts, and precision electronic stampings.

Manufacturing

A Variety of Applications

Industrial equipment manufacturers utilize Baird transfer presses to produce durable, high-strength components for demanding environments.

Common applications include: guides, mechanical hardware, bearings & retainers, industrial connectors, hydraulic components, and precision formed parts.

Medical

Parts You Can Trust

Medical manufacturers require consistency, precision, and dependable production processes. Baird transfer presses are capable of producing many of the small metal components found throughout the medical industry.

Common applications include: surgical instrument components, medical device hardware, implantable device components, precision clips and springs, and specialty fasteners.
