The Minneapolis facility is home to the corporate headquarters and the building stands in the location where TCDC was founded in 1919. It offers aluminum die casting and secondary operations, including CNC machining, finishing and assembly. While the long history of this location is noteworthy, the most impressive aspect of this plant is the state of the art equipment and modern manufacturing techniques.
In the cast department, eight high-pressure die cast machines range in size from 350 to 1000 tons. These Colosio, Buhler, HPM and Toyo machines are automated, and supported with peripheral equipment from ABB and Reis and are capable of running 18 cavity cast and trim dies fully automatic and unattended.
The machining department has Mori Seiki and Kitamura horizontal and Fanuc, and Haas vertical machining centers. Automation has also found a place in the machining department with Fanuc robots, inspection stations, and vibratory finishing to support select work centers. A Zolar Venturi optical tool presetter aligns cutting tools to pin point accuracy. The quality department employs a Zeiss Prismo CMM, spectrometer, and dedicated electronic gauging with SPC capabilities.
This facility provides products for passenger Vehicles, Power Sports, Medical, Industrial applications, Consumer Goods, and Aerospace/Defense.
