Metal Stamping: The Backbone of Manufacturing

Metal Stamping: The Backbone of Manufacturing



Metal Stamping involves placing flat sheet metal, in either coil or blank form, into a punch press. The operator sets up a die designed for a specific part in the press. Once the press is set up to run, it forms the metal into the desired shape with each up and down stroke.To get more news about Stamping parts, you can visit tenral.com official website.

The metal stamping process can be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the metal.
Or metal stamping can involve a progressive process. With the progressive process, steel advances through different stations of the die.

Depending on the complexity of the part, the number of stations is determined and could include punching, blanking, bending, coining, embossing, and flanging. At the end of the process, the completed part is produced all in one die.
Process engineers are in charge of determining the steps required to transform a flat metal sheet into a finished part, which is a crucial job. A single error can immediately cause the whole process to fail.

Die designers design the tools needed to effectively carry out the process that has been established. Most individuals can work both as process engineers and die designers. The latter can be more effective when they fully understand mechanical motion, material strengths and the different types of tool steel. They are experts at operating computer-aided software or CAD.
