Introduction

Industrial stamping is a manufacturing process used to convert flat metal sheets into specific shapes. It is a critical process for producing parts used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.

Industrial Stamping Process

The industrial stamping process involves several steps, typically including:

1. Blanking: Cutting a flat piece of metal from the larger sheet.
2. Bending: Deforming the metal along a straight line.
3. Forming: Shaping metal along a curved path.
4. Coining: Applying high pressure to reduce thickness and improve surface finish.
5. Embossing: Creating raised or recessed designs on metal surfaces.

Key Parameters in Stamping

Critical variables in the stamping process that influence quality and efficiency include:

• Material Thickness: Typically ranging from 0.1 mm to 10 mm depending on the application.
• Tonnage: The amount of force applied by the press, measured in tons. Common presses range from 10 to 2,000 tons.
• Die Design: Customized tooling based on the desired end product.
• Speed: The rate of production, often measured in strokes per minute (SPM).

Common Stamping Methods

The most widely used stamping methods include:

• Progressive Die Stamping: Sequential operations are performed at different stations.
• Transfer Die Stamping: Parts are transferred between multiple stations for complex shapes.
• Four-Slide Stamping: Ideal for intricate designs, using four sliding tools at right angles.
