Progressive Die Stamping Services at Aranda Tooling

At our Chino, California facility, we specialize in high-volume progressive die stamping and are equipped to handle a wide range of project requirements. Some of the key capabilities customers come to us for include:

Light to heavy gauge stamping: We handle components ranging from .005 to .5 in in thickness, making us capable across both light gauge stamping and heavy gauge stamping applications.
Material flexibility: We work with aluminum, stainless steel, low and high carbon steel, titanium, brass, bronze, copper, and specialty alloys including Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel, and nickel alloys.
High volume output: Our high-volume progressive die stamping facility manufactures up to half a million parts per day.
Large and complex parts: We accommodate parts up to 48 in wide across press beds up to 240 in long with a maximum mechanical press stroke of 31 in.
Tight tolerances: We hold standard tolerances of +/-.001 in, with tighter tolerances available depending on part specifications.
In-die secondary operations: Our presses support piercing, chamfering, knurling, threading, and other forming processes, reducing the need for separate post-stamping work.
Comprehensive inspection: Every job is backed by CMM, optical, vision, air gauging, and 3D inspection capabilities alongside APQP and PPAP quality processes.

Benefits of Progressive Die Stamping

Compared to other manufacturing methods, progressive die stamping offers numerous benefits, such as:

Faster production speeds. The progressive die stamping process utilizes an automatic mechanism to move workpieces through the various stations. As a result, it can process parts faster than is possible in stamping operations that utilize a manual transfer method.
Greater production capacities. The faster production speeds of the progressive die stamping process allow for increased production capacity as more parts can be manufactured in a shorter time period.
Smaller waste generation. Due to the optimized design of progressive stamping dies, the process produces less waste than other manufacturing methods.
Broader design freedom. Progressive die stamping accommodates a variety of part designs, ranging from simple to highly complex.
Higher repeatability. Progressive stamping dies are generally made from hardened tool steels that can withstand use in extended runs without degrading. This enables them to maintain high repeatability from part to part, resulting in better consistency throughout the run.
Lower production costs. The faster production speeds, smaller waste generation, and higher repeatability offered by progressive die stamping results in lower overall production costs.

Progressive Die Stamping vs. Transfer Die Stamping

Both progressive die stamping and transfer die stamping employ multi-station dies—i.e., a series of dies installed across a set of successive stations. The main difference between the two processes is that progressive die stamping handles parts that remain on the strip until the end of the stamping operation, while transfer die stamping handles parts that are removed from the strip at the beginning of the stamping operation.
