Metal Stampings

Looking for Cleveland metal stamping services? ForMasters stamping processes are driven by the latest computer-controlled feeders. Our press controls ensure consistent, conforming parts over short-to-long-run production batches. Prototype parts undergo exhaustive layout inspection, while first parts from each are scrutinized, ensuring conformance to print. During production, quality of parts is assured through in-process and final inspection according to ISO 9001:2008 standards. SPC is available at your request.

When stamping metal parts, there are many operations that are carried out on a stamping, either at a single die station, or at multiple stations within a single stroke of the stamping press. Dies used in single station operations are either compound dies, or combination dies.

Compound dies are stamping tools in which only cutting operations are done, usually blanking and hole punching. Combination dies are press tools in which a cutting operation, generally blanking, is combined with shaping or forming processes.

Multiple station operations are done with stamping dies that have several stations. Each station simultaneously performs a single step in the metal stamping process in order to complete a part. Finished stampings are discharged with each stroke.

Multiple station operations are performed using either progressive dies or transfer dies. In progressive die operations, parts are made from continuous coil stock that remains connected to the stock by carrier strip during each successive operation until the final metal stamping is cut off and discharge from the die.
