Metal stamping is a cost-effective and high-speed manufacturing method that transforms metal sheets into products of different shapes using die and stamping presses. Our electrical stamping process is optimized to produce high-quality parts that meet the rigorous conductivity and safety standards required for modern electrification.
Automotive metal stamping is a popular manufacturing method for electric vehicles thanks to its ability to produce a high volume of identical, complex parts that meet tight specifications. From forming to blanking, drawing, and piercing, metal stamping is a high-precision process that helps manufacturers service the special needs of electric vehicle production.
Specialized Metal Stampings for Electric Vehicle Methods
During metal stamping, sheet metal (blanks) is passed through the stamping press, where the die forms a new shape. As the name of the stamping press indicates, the process requires the application of high pressure. Our electrical metal stamping capabilities are suitable for both short and high-volume production runs. Examples of our core processes include:
Progressive Die Stamping
Progressive die stamping uses a series of stamping stations. The process begins by putting metal into the stamping press. When the press moves down, the die closes and stamps the metal. Then the press moves up, and the metal progresses to the next station, where a different cut, punch, or bend operation occurs. At the final station, the fabricated part separates from the rest of the metal.
Progressive die stamping can handle multiple operations simultaneously and is repetitive, making it ideal for long runs. It’s also high-speed, which translates to high efficiency.
Compound Die
Compound dies perform a series of actions simultaneously (cuts, punches, etc.). As a result, the die produces finished components in a single pass, making it highly cost-efficient, especially for manufacturing flat parts.
Transfer Die
In transfer die stamping, the fabricated part is separated from the metal after the first operation and transferred to another stamping station for further operations. The transfer takes place through a transport system. This method allows for the execution of more complex designs than progressive stamping.
High-Volume EV Stamping & Automotive Solutions
High-speed stamping solutions can endure a high number of strokes per minute, saving valuable time in the manufacturing process. At Aranda Tooling, our high-speed stamping solutions provide dependable, high-quality stamped electric vehicle parts at affordable prices.
Common applications for our electrical and EV stamping include:
- Power Supply components and Busbars
- Heat shields for battery thermal management
- Radiator frame assembly for EV cooling systems
- Cylinder head gaskets for hybrid platforms
- Floor panels, Brackets, and BIW (Body-in-White) stampings
We utilize a wide range of materials including high-conductivity copper, brass, and bronze, alongside traditional aluminum and custom stainless steel stamping alloys.
Our Core EV Stamping Capabilities
Aranda Tooling offers a full suite of stamping techniques to create specialized electrical metal stamped parts:
- Punching – The die punches a hole in the material, creating a workpiece in the shape of the die. The cut piece becomes the scrap.
- Blanking – Similar to punching, blanking cuts material from the metal workpiece and the die cuts the desired part out of the material, resulting in the final part.
- Embossing – The die presses the material to create a recessed or raised design on the material.
- Coining – Coining applies force to the material, causing it to conform to the shape of the die.
- Bending – The die forms the metal into specific bend patterns such as V, L, etc.
- Flanging – Flanging bends the edge of the metal workpiece to create a flange that serves as a connection point for other components.
