Custom metal stampings are widely used in tools, equipment, and machinery. For industry-leading manufacturers, finding a reliable and experienced stamping partner is critical, especially for high-volume and ongoing manufacturing use. Smart customers know that a stamper’s ability to supply custom parts that meet all application requirements has a huge impact on their own time to market and profitability.
Aranda Tooling specializes in precision metal stamping. Our facility combines advanced technology with high-tonnage stamping presses to deliver exceptional results for automotive, electronics, and industrial applications. Learn more about the advantages and types of precision metal stamping, as well as its many applications across industries.
Here are a few advantages of precision stamping in manufacturing:
- High Accuracy & Tight Tolerances. Precision metal stamping is a highly repeatable process, which means components meet dimension and tolerance specifications with minimal deviation. This is particularly important for applications where user safety is important, such as aerospace and automotive components. Aranda’s stamping capabilities can hold tolerances to within ±0.005 in. and achieve intricate details throughout the life of your project.
- Cost-Effectiveness & High-Volume Production. Metal stamping is an efficient and economical way to produce large volumes of parts with minimal waste. This helps to reduce production costs without compromising on part quality. This makes Aranda an ideal choice for manufacturers that need a scalable solution.
- Durability & Performance. Metal stamping is compatible with a range of metals that are durable, strong, and resistant to corrosion and other real-world operational conditions. Options include, but are not limited to stainless steel, cold rolled steel, brass, and aluminum.
Metal Stamping Options
There are several types of metal stamping, and different methods may be more appropriate for different applications. It’s important to understand these techniques and how they benefit various applications.
Progressive Die Stamping
Progressive die stamping is a high-speed manufacturing process that involves multiple stations within a single die. A metal strip is fed into the press, and as it advances, each successive station performs the next operation in the sequence of steps, such as cutting, bending, or punching. Completed parts exit the machine as they are knocked from the strip and collected in a bin. This method is ideal for producing large volumes of complex, high-precision components with minimal material waste.
Transfer Die Stamping
In transfer die stamping, parts are stamped individually instead of connected to a continuous strip of material. Each part is conveyed from one station to the next within the press, allowing multiple forming operations to happen in a single cycle. This method is effective for larger parts with multiple features or operations like piercing, knurling, or chamfering.
High-Volume Stamping
High-volume production is efficient because many parts are produced in a short time period. This saves time on press setup and leads to shorter cycle times. We have also invested in robotics and automation equipment that allows us to stamp 750 to 60,000 pieces per hour.
Deep Draw Stamping
Deep draw stamping is used to create cylindrical or contoured parts by drawing sheet metal into a die cavity. This process is a good choice for manufacturing components that need deep, uniform shapes, such as enclosures, cans, and automotive parts.
Coining
Coining is a specialized technique used to produce ultra-precise, burr-free components with smooth edges and high surface quality. These methods are often used for gears, medical instruments, and aerospace components that require absolute precision.
