Stamping Die Maintenance: Ensuring Precision in Every Part
Stamping Die Maintenance: Ensuring Precision in Every Part How stamping tolerance affects die accuracy Stamping to a tolerance of ±0.02 mm is essential for ISO 2768 and automotive standards such as IATF 16949. Small deviations from die wear or press misalignment can cause part rejection, assembly issues, and increased scrap costs, as documented by MetalForming Magazine […]
Progressive Die Design: Boosting Efficiency in Metal Stamping?
Progressive Die Design: Boosting Efficiency in Metal Stamping? What is a progressive die? Step-by-step process explained A progressive die performs multiple operations along a strip of metal in one stroke. Each station forms, punches, bends, or trims. This results in near-finished parts at the end of the strip—ideal for high-volume efficiency. This differs from B‑punch […]
Deep Drawing in Metal Stamping: Die Design and Applications?
Deep Drawing in Metal Stamping: Die Design and Applications? What is deep drawing and how does it differ from standard stamping? Deep drawing uses punches and dies to stretch sheet metal into 3D hollow shapes, unlike standard stamping that cuts or forms flat profiles. This process is widely used in automotive manufacturing, consumer appliances, medical […]
