STAMPING AND BENDING PARTS

Stamped and bent parts made from strip material in coils are fed through the die as a “strip”. For example, stamped and bent parts in the wheel brake area.

 

What are stamping parts?

Metal Stamping parts are pieces of metal that are shaped by applying an intense force through a die. Metal blanks are inserted into dies and then pressed to create specific shapes. Commonly stamped items include car body panels, engine components, and household appliances.

 

How many types of stamping are there?

Punching, blanking, bending, coining, embossing, and flanging are all stamping techniques used to shape the metal. Before the material can be formed, stamping professionals must design the tooling via CAD/CAM engineering technology.

 

Why is stamping used?

High Production Rates. Metal parts can be produced at an exponential rate, enabling high volumes of products to be formed quickly. This is because the stamping press can process multiple parts at once, shortening production time significantly.

 

Where is stamping used?

Stamping can be performed both as a progressive operation or with a stage tool. Metal stamping is used to produce parts for large machinery or can be molded into shapes for household items. Metal stamping is commonly used in the manufacturing of parts and components for nearly all areas of industry.

 

What equipment is used for stamping?

Stamping Press

Stamping presses are similar to punch presses, with both types of machine presses using a pressurized tool to manipulate a workpiece. Stamping presses, however, don't actually create clean or complete holes. They simply deform the workpiece so that it takes the shape of the die with which it's pressed.

 

How thick is steel stamping?

Typical sheet metal thicknesses used in stamping are 0.001 in. to 0.625 in. Although most stamping operations use sheet steel, special dies can cut and form steel bars up to 3 inches thick.

Many different types of metal can be cut and formed in a die.

 

What is a stamping tool called?

Die (stamping die) – A precision tool used to cut and/or form stock sheet metal into a specific profile or design shape.
