The precision hardware stamping process, sometimes referred to as progressive metal stamping, is one of the more popular machining and manufacturing processes in hardware processing today, allowing a range of industries to produce more challenging precision parts in an efficient and affordable manner.
The hardware stamping process is a more common way for manufacturers to use parts for a variety of equipment applications. Fai Yuen Precision has a deep understanding of the benefits and features of the stamping process to ensure you get all the benefits when choosing precision metal stamping.
What is precision metal stamping?
The process utilizes machines equipped with dies to convert sheet metal into custom shapes with extremely tight tolerances. Manufacturers can even complete such parts with a single stroke of the press, which is known as a single-stage operation.
More complex parts may require multiple strokes, which is called a tandem operation. Precision metal stamping is flexible and adaptable, and is particularly conducive to high-volume production.
Its extremely high level of precision, even for complex parts, is what sets the process apart from similar machining options. Precision metal stamping machinery enables manufacturers to micro-stamp and make complex, tiny parts where even the smallest error can invalidate the final product.
The accuracy and efficiency of precision metal stamping in making these parts has created high demand in industries ranging from automotive to aerospace.
Projects using precision metal stamping typically begin with computer modeling that virtually simulates the stamping process to check for errors or defects.
Once testing is complete, the computer sends the design directly to the machine in an efficient process that reduces the chance of human error.
