Progressive Metal Stamping/Custom Metal Stamping Services

1. Progressive Metal Stamping/Custom Metal Stamping Services Progressive stamping is a system that punches, coins, and bends raw metal in many different ways in combination with an automatic feeding system. The coiled material is feed into a straightener and then to a progressive die. The die has various stations, the material is stamped to its’ basic form and with each step the part gets more detail. The parts are left connected together on the strip in order to keep the material moving in the press. The last station is the cutoff operation that separates the finished part from the carrying web. This material, along with any punched material is scrap and is ejected and carried away to bins to sell to a metal recycler for profit later. Most progressive metal stamping made in reciprocating stamping presses, although in larger applications a transfer press is used. A reciprocating stamping press moves up and down and the top of the die moves with it, which in turn allows the material to feed. When the press strokes down the die closes and performs the stamping of the material. Every complete rotation of the press produces a complete part. When producing parts on a transfer press, each station is a die and a robotic device and/or conveyer used to move the material from one station to the next until finally a finished part is the product. Custom metal stamping services comprise various manufacturing processes based on what the customer desires. In most instances the customer will submit a print for whatever part that is needed. Usually an engineer, tool and die or a person with experience in stamping will review the print, ask the client about what the part will be used for, the tolerances of the part and will try to correct any mistakes that are in the drawing. From there it will be determined how the part should be made, using a turret punch, fourslide or press. If a press is needed, what type of die will be needed to produce the end product. It all depends on the complexity of the part and the amount of parts. Sometimes the drawing submitted will have to be changed to what is actually possible with the machinery available. Custom metal stamping means custom, no two parts are alike just like no two customers are alike. On the other hand, a custom metal stamping service doesn’t want to keep too much inventory around, because if a part is only made for one client it won’t be any use to anyone else.
