Historically, the manufacture of industrial casters has combined the processes of forging, casting, stamping, and welding. Key components of the manufacturing process have not changed and several have evolved with changes in modern manufacturing techniques. Forging and Casting of key components of the industrial casters and wheels have not changed significantly over the past 50 years. Many of the same sizes and shapes of manufactured products in these processes are totally unchanged. The portion of the manufacture of industrial casters that has significantly changed is the fabrication of the caster rig, which is the main body of the caster. In the past the rig was manufactured using stampings of standard components that were welded either to the forgings of the swivel sections or to each other. Accessories such as brakes or toe-guards were fabricated using iron works to modifythe design and then were welded to the standard components. |
