Corner Gusset With Multiple Offsets

This corner gusset had multiple opposing offsets, and it had to meet tight tolerances to be square enough to support robotic welding. Ajax produced this complex, multifaceted progressive stamping to tolerances +/- .5°.

One engineer said it couldn’t be done. We did it.
