  • What Is Deep-Drawing Stamping

    By : Categories : Blog,Techniques Comment: Comments Off on What Is Deep-Drawing Stamping

    Deep drawing is a metal stamping process, which is used to make metal sheets into various hollow axisymmetric parts. This form of metal stamping includes applying a punching force to the metal plate to pull it radially into the die cavity. First, sheet metal is placed on the forming die. The plate is fixed at the end by the pressure applied by the edge retainer. Then use the mechanical stamping tool to apply axial force to the metal plate to deform the workpiece and flow into the mold cavity to produce the desired shape. Almost all manufacturing industries are likely to benefit from the deep drawing manufacturing process. This technology may be most suitable for manufacturing small stamping parts, such as electronic caps, housings, and assembled housings. However, products of various shapes and sizes can be economically manufactured through this process, including items such as aluminum cans, cookware, and kitchen sinks. In mass production, deep drawing is particularly beneficial, because as the number of units increases, unit costs are significantly reduced: once the tools and molds are created, the process can continue with almost no downtime or maintenance costs.

  • Continuous die stamping

    By : Categories : Blog,Techniques Comment: Comments Off on Continuous die stamping

    Continuous die stamping is characterized by high batch production efficiency, easy automation, safe operation, long die life, reduction of equipment, die number and workshop area. . Now stamping parts manufacturers generally change from single punch to continuous die stamping. Today, we will give a brief introduction. Continuous die, also known as progressive die, refers to the punching die that can complete multiple processes at several different positions simultaneously in one stroke of the press. . That is, the processes of trimming, cutting, grooving, punching, plastic deformation and blanking can be completed in a pair of moulds. According to the actual needs of stamping parts, the manufacturer of stamping parts shall arrange multiple stamping processes in a certain order for continuous stamping. This also provides favorable conditions for high-speed automatic stamping.

    The output and batch size of the processed parts must be large enough, otherwise it is not conducive to cost control. . The mechanical properties of stamping materials need to be relatively stable, and there are also high requirements for width and thickness tolerances and straightness of material edges. The press used shall have sufficient strength, stiffness, power, accuracy, large working surface and reliable braking system.

    The main focus/point of the continuous die stamping process is strip steel, as strip steel is the core/core of the entire continuous die stamping process. Bar chart design involves the designer’s design ideas. It is necessary to know how many parts the strip steel consists of, such as material points, cutting positions, bending process, etc.

  • Introduction to multiple drawing

    By : Categories : Blog,Industry Comment: Comments Off on Introduction to multiple drawing

    As we all know, when drawing, stamping and drawing products sometimes need to go through multiple drawing processes. Of course, it is better to stretch them once as much as possible. . These tensile forming processes can be divided into several types: tensile processing,’re tensile processing, thinning tensile processing, reverse tensile processing. Please refer to the introduction of these multi-drawing processes by stamping and drawing manufacturers below. 1. Tightening treatment: use the plate pressing device and the punching force of the punch to pull some or all of the flat materials into the cavity of the female die, so that it can form a bottomed container. The side wall of the container is parallel to the stretching direction, which is a simple stretching process. Some need to be expanded to form.

    1. Redrawing: that is, for products that cannot be finished by deep drawing, semi-formed products after deep drawing need to be stretched again to increase the depth of the formed container.
    2. Reverse stretching process: reverse stretching the parts stretched in the previous process, the inner side of the workpiece becomes the outer side, and the outer diameter decreases.
    3. Thinning and stretching process: extrude the formed container into the cavity of the die slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the container with a punch, so that the outer diameter of the container with a bottom becomes smaller and the wall thickness becomes thinner, eliminating the deviation of the wall thickness, and making the surface of the container smooth

  • What Is a Stamping Die?

    By : Categories : Techniques Comment: Comments Off on What Is a Stamping Die?

    Stamping is a cold forming operation, which means that no heat is intentionally introduced into the die or sheet. However, due to the heat generated by friction during cutting and forming, stamping parts are usually very hot when leaving the mold.

    Mold sizes range from mould (palm size) used to make microelectronic products to mould 20 square feet and 10 feet thick used to make the entire car body sides.

    Parts produced by the stamping process are called parts. Some molds can produce more than one part in a cycle, and the cycle speed can reach 1500 cycles. 40. Stroke&# 41. Every minute. Pressure causes death.

    Chip jumping of metal stamping die refers to the phenomenon that the sheet metal jumps to the die surface at the edge after blanking in the high-speed production die. As one of the common undesirable phenomena of metal stamping parts, chip jumping is caused for many reasons. Some are caused by improper mold design, some are caused by poor materials and stamping operators. Next, we will analyze the specific causes of chip jumping of the metal mold.
    The first reason is that the punch or other parts of the stamping die metal have abnormal scratches or damage, resulting in small scrap materials. This is mainly because the punch has no corresponding structure when it needs to exert excessive effect on the material.
    The second reason is that the blade gap of the metal stamping die is too large and the design of the blade gap is unreasonable. Reasonable clearance accounts for 4-6% of the material thickness. In the normal operation of metal stamping die, due to the frequent reciprocating friction between the sheet metal and the blade, the internal wear of the blade causes excessive clearance of the blade.
    The third reason is that the raw materials have been surface treated before stamping, and there is unstructured fusion between the surface treatment layer and the surface treatment layer. The material will cause separation and blanking at the edge of the material.
    Another reason is that the metal stamping die of the punch has magnetism, which generates suction on the plate and causes the chip to jump.

  • Stamping Die Components

    By : Categories : Blog,Industry Comment: Comments Off on Stamping Die Components

    Stamping die is usually composed of fixed die and movable die. The fastener is fixed to the press table with a clamping plate and screw, which is called the lower die. The movable part is fixed to the sliding block of the punch, i.e. the upper die. Then the upper die moves up and down with the sliding block for stamping.
    Different components can be divided into 5 categories according to their functions:
    1. Working parts: Working die parts are used for stamping, which can directly deform and separate sheet metal parts to obtain stamping parts. Such as punch blade, die blade, punch matrix, etc.
    2. Test piece: The function of the pilot element is to control the feed direction and feed pitch of raw materials, and to ensure the correct position of the raw material plate of the die. Such as pins, positioning pins, guide pins, pin pins, pin plates, side clamping plates, etc.
    3. Pressing, stripping and lifting parts: These stamping die parts are designed to ensure that stamping parts and waste materials can be discharged from the die after each stamping, so that the next production can proceed smoothly. For example: stripper, revamp, waste blade, etc.
    4. Guide Components: These stamping die components are used to ensure the correct direction of the upper and lower dies in the relative movement process, so that the punch and female die inserts have a uniform gap, thus improving the quality of stamping parts.
    5. Installation of fastening components: The function of these progressive die components is to connect the above four types of stamping die components together to ensure that the relative position of each die component is correct and that the die can be installed on the punch. .
    Of course, this is not to say that each stamping die should have more than 5 die components. Once the stamping die is used for prototype or small batch production, to shorten the validation time and save cost, sometimes it could simplify the stamping die structure, which only has working components, stripping components and several fastened components. But for high volume mass production tools, except for the above 5 types of die components, there will be additional automatic feeding and ejection devices added to the stamping die, which can ensure the quality of the stamping part and increase the production efficiency rate and tool life time.

  • Types of Deep Drawing Processing

    By : Categories : Blog,Industry Comment: Comments Off on Types of Deep Drawing Processing

    Generally speaking, a metal stamping manufacturer will divide the deep drawing process into four parts: deep drawing,’re drawing, reverse drawing and thinning&deep drawing.

    Drawing process: use the punching force of the flat plate device and the punch to pull part or all of the flat plate into the cavity of the female die to form a bottomed container.

    Re-drawing: In order to increase the depth of the forming container, it is necessary to re-draw the finished products after drawing.

    Reverse drawing process: reverse drawing the workpiece drawn in the previous process, then the inner part of the workpiece becomes the outer part, and the outer diameter becomes smaller.

    Thinning and deep drawing: extrude the formed container into a concave cavity slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the container with a punch, so that the outer diameter of the container and the bottom becomes smaller.
