At AWP, we manufacture ground compression springs with a commitment to reliability, efficiency, and high-quality performance. Since 1995, we’ve developed a streamlined, results-driven approach that delivers springs tailored to the toughest application demands.
From design and prototyping to CNC coiling, grinding, presetting, and quality assurance, we follow a well-structured process that maximizes consistency, durability, and repeatability. Let’s walk through how we manufacture ground compression springs from start to finish.
Every successful compression spring starts with a well-developed design. AWP collaborates with customers to refine specifications, improve manufacturability, and eliminate potential production issues.
Our Approach:
✔ Comprehensive Design Review: Our team examines wire diameter, coil pitch, free length, and load requirements to fine-tune the design.
✔ Collaborative Adjustments: Working closely with customers, we make modifications that streamline production and enhance performance.
✔ Production-Ready Prototypes: Prototypes are made using the same CNC coiling and grinding equipment as full-scale production, allowing for a smooth transition to manufacturing.
✔ Fast Turnaround: Lead times as short as 10 days – or even same-day production for select projects – help keep your project on track.
The durability of a compression spring depends on the materials used. AWP sources carbon steel, stainless steel, and specialty alloys to match the specific needs of each application.
Why Material Selection Matters:
AWP has invested $2.5 million in Simplex-Rapid CNC coiling technology to manufacture high-quality ground compression springs. Our six advanced CNC coilers deliver consistent, repeatable results for projects of all sizes.
Key Features of Our CNC Coiling Process:
Our advanced CNC coiling technology provides unmatched uniformity and reduces defects, keeping production efficient and cost-effective.
Flat ends help compression springs function properly by providing stability and uniform load distribution. We’ve built grinding into our core operations, producing springs that meet exacting requirements.
Our Grinding Capabilities:
With over 500 million ground compression springs produced, AWP is highly experienced in delivering uniform, high-performance springs.
To improve long-term reliability, AWP incorporates presetting, a process that compresses springs to a fixed height before final production. This stabilizes the load characteristics and helps springs maintain their designed properties over time.
Why Presetting Matters:
With this extra step, we deliver durable, application-ready springs that stand up to repeated compression cycles.
Quality is not just a step in our process – it’s built into every stage of production. AWP follows ISO 9001:2015-certified quality control procedures, using advanced inspection technology to verify each spring’s specifications.
How We Maintain High Standards:
We also integrate Statistical Process Control (SPC) to monitor consistency throughout production, minimizing variability and waste.
From design to delivery, AWP has built a process that emphasizes efficiency, repeatability, and reliability. Whether you need rapid prototyping, CNC coiling, precise grinding, or rigorous quality control, we are ready to deliver.
If you need high-performance ground compression springs with guaranteed consistency, AWP is ready to help.
