Stamping
High Quantity Stamping Reduces Cost
The ultimate quantity of a stamping project is a major factor in establishing the most suitable tooling and press scheduling to achieve lowest cost. As lot size increases, using automated tooling reduces the labor burden, and affects material costs; i.e., high volume permits savings through material purchase discounts, and may warrant developing scrapless, or near-scrapless tooling.
Material
Material specified also can greatly affect costs. Avoid hidden or unnecessary costs by consulting with inSync Manufacturing when developing your specifications. New materials, from high strength alloy steels to super-strong aluminum alloys, are readily available in many standard thicknesses and widths.
Types and Processes
There are a number of die types and stamping processes that can be used, depending on the quantity and operations to be performed. inSync Manufacturing can arrange for any precesses, as required.
Blanking Piercing
Drawing Embossing
Coining Swaging
Bending Extruding
Compound Dies
Compound reverse-draw programmable deep-draw presses stamp both inside and outside contours at the same time in a single station tool. It is the most accurate method for maintaining concentricity and flatness of parts.
Progressive Dies
Progressive dies are designed for handling high volumes of parts from strip sheet or coil stock in stamping presses. By handling stamping operations at progressive stations in the tooling, while the material is advanced through it, maximum efficiency is realized per press stroke and secondary handling of material is substantially reduced.
