Progressive Stamping
Progressive stamping is an efficient forming process that can complete multiple processes in one punch, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
What is Progressive Stamping
Progressive stamping is a continuous stamping process in which sheet metal is processed continuously through a series of stations mounted on the same die. The sheet completes one or more processes at each station and is then transferred to the next station until all predetermined processes have been completed. This method is particularly suited to high-volume production.
Advantages of progressive stamping
Compared to simple stamping, progressive stamping can achieve the production of more complex parts. And it can achieve automatic production, which make it save time and resource, eventually make it high productive. Well-designed, high-precision molds allow for good consistency of products produced in the same batch.
automatic Production
Well-designed molds with cyclic stamping presses can achieve automatic production of stamping process, suitable for mass production.
high productive
The automated production line frees up human hands and works tirelessly around the clock, which greatly improves production efficiency.
Resource Saving
Material waste can be minimized through optimized nesting and mold design, saving the resource and cost.
good consistency
The accuracy and repeatability of the mold ensure the consistency of part dimensions.
Main steps of Progressive Stamping
How does progressive stamping work and what are the steps involved? Below is a list of the main basic steps of progressive stamping.
Mold Design & Manufacture
Designing the processes and mold according to the final form of the product.
Material Preparation
Selecting and preparing the metal sheet according to the customer’s demands.
Continuous Processing
The metal sheet are processed by passing through a number of stations in the die.
Unloading
After completing all the processes, the finished product is unloaded from the last station.
Application industries
Automobile manufacturing: body covering parts, engine cover, door panels, etc.
Home appliance industry: shells and internal parts of refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and other household appliances.
Packaging industry: metal cans and lids for food and beverages, etc.
Electronics: computer chassis, cell phone parts, etc.
Aerospace: certain structural parts, shell parts, etc. on airplanes.
