The Rathbone Advantage

Expert Design Support and Customer Support
Rathbone combines a century of experience in cold metal profiles with in-house CAD tool design and manufacturing capabilities to meet the most exacting customer requirements. Our designers and engineers work closely to support the customer’s design of prototype profiles in an effort to cost-effectively produce these profiles, no matter how complex. Another precision advantage Rathbone offers is the recommendation of small design changes that can substantially reduce costs and dramatically improve performance. Plus, highly-skilled Rathbone customer service representatives are always on hand to handle your account from initial quotation through final shipment.

Close Tolerances
Rathbone's finished parts are tougher, more uniform and less expensive than machined parts. Our proprietary cold working techniques increase the tensile and yield strengths of metal, producing a uniform grain structure. The process enhances the mechanical properties of precision parts, toughens their surface finish and allows for extremely close tolerances - up to ± .0005 inches.

Precision Cross Sections
Rathbone can design and produce parts with cross sections as small as .032” and as large as three inches. We make parts in the size and quantity you need, with minimum quantities as low as 300 pounds.

Production-Readiness
Shaped product is shipped in straight lengths, in coils, or in cut-to-length defect-free parts ready for final assembly. Many of our parts require no additional operations; others need only drilling or countersinking to become production parts.

Additional Advantages of Rathbone Include:
  • Reduced Machining
  • Higher Strength
  • Smoother Surfaces
  • Consistent Dimensions
  • Better Grain Structure
  • Lot to Lot Repeatability
  • Minimized Scrap
  • Less Processing Time
