Precision metal Stamping is a manufacturing process that utilizes customized tools and mold sets installed in the Stamping machine to make the metal plates into the required components. It is widely used in various industries to manufacture a large number of parts and products with high precision, high precision, and high speed. Although this process provides manufacturing advantages, it is not applicable to every production project.
The following article discusses some precautions to remember when determining whether precision metal stamping is suitable for your project. It provides an overview of the process, the benefits it provides, and typical industries using it.
Metal stamping, sometimes also known as pressing, relies on specialized tools (i.e. tools and mold sets) and equipment (i.e. presses) to form the desired shape and size of the metal plate and coil. The pressure exerted by the press on the workpiece forces the material to conform to the shape formed by the tool and mold. This process can occur in a single stage or across multiple stages, depending on the simplicity or complexity of the final product. Precision metal stamping operations largely rely on the use of automated equipment, ensuring that the finished components are both precise and accurate.
In addition to higher precision and accuracy, precision metal stamping technology has some other advantages compared to other manufacturing processes, including:
Greater product and process quality：The accuracy provided by precision metal stamping technology means lower error rates in the production process. This means that the likelihood of producing defective or defective parts entering the hands of customers is relatively low.
Lower production costs： Precision metal stamping is a commonly automated process that reduces the need for manual labor. This quality also leads to a lower error rate, which means reducing material utilization and waste during production operations.
As mentioned above, precision metal stamping technology has been applied in a wide range of industries. Some industries that frequently use this process to produce parts and products include:
In the automotive industry, stamping is used to manufacture various structural and functional components, such as body and frame, electrical systems, steering systems, etc. Some examples of typical automotive parts manufactured in metal stamping operations include:
>Brackets and hangers
>Electrical terminals and connectors
>Wire forms (e.g., tire and under chassis components)
Aerospace
In the aerospace industry, components and products are subject to strict manufacturing requirements and restrictions. These guidelines are developed to ensure the safety of aircraft personnel, passengers, and the public. Therefore, aerospace component manufacturers (such as Keats Manufacturing) maintain certification and comply with various industry standards, such as Mil specifications and RoHS. Some metal stamping parts and products typically produced for aerospace applications include:
>Assemblies
>Brackets
>Bushings
>Clips
>Lead frames
>Shields
>Terminals
>Wire forms
