Summary
Operator Pedal System
  • Chill mold casting was chosen as the production method for the pedal components, because of near net-shape fabrication, minimal machining, high strength and corrosion resistant alloys, and cost-effectiveness.
School Bus

Piad Precision Casting worked closely with Teleflex Morse system engineers to develop casting designs that maximize performance, producibility, and cost savings.
