Our design team includes highly skilled engineers, designers and die makers with years of expertise in metal stamping tooling systems, they work together with our clients for all the optimized design needs, including improving manufacturability, material usage, efficiency, as well as easy maintenance.
For theoretical strip layout, design analysis, tooling structure build, we use applications:
- UG
- AutoCAD
- Autoform
We are able to create a 3D rendering of the design and conduct analysis of the design through design simulation. Autoform is used to evaluate and validate tooling designs, part materials and forming processes. It can identify potential problems at the design stage, and check how the materials will move during forming process. This helps to take possible improvements to part quality, eliminating rework of the tool and shorten lead time.
Before each projects start, we offer the strip layout and die design to customer for communication or confirmation if needed. And, before we deliver the tooling abroad, we offer the final die design structures.
We can do reverse engineering if customer only has a sample part, and get a 3D drawing before starting the tool design.
Our design engineers and tool makers also work closely together during assembly and tryout to get the best performance of the tool build, and making sure the quality of the tool.
PROGRESSIVE DIES
Progressive die stamping consists of several individual work stations, each of which performs one or more different operations on the part, such as punching, coining, bending, forming. The automatic feeding system pushes a strip of metal (as it unrolls from a coil) from station to station and is cut out of the strip at the final operation. With each stroke of the press, a completed part is removed from the die.
The benefits of progressive die stamping are increased productivity and significant cost reduction for high-volume production.The decision to produce a part in progressive die or transfer die is depending on size, complexity and volume of production, as progressive tools are much more expensive because they are made in blocks with very little independent regulation per station, and it could not finish the perform processesthat require the part leave the strip (example beading, thread rolling, rotary stamping etc).
TRANSFER DIES
Transfer Dies are mainly used where the stamping part has to be separated from the strip to allow operations to be performed in a separate station; it is similar to progressive dies, but slower as the metal partsare transferred from station to station by a robothand system.
Transfer dies often offers lower tooling costs. A transfer press tool can be a single hit die by itself or a number of dies arranged on one die set, or different die sets.
The transfer diestamping process begins with a piece of metal fed into the first station where the blank for the stamped part is cut. The blank is then transferred by robot handswhich carry the stamping part through various metal forming stations in sequence. Some features such as threading can be designed and done between 2 stations.
Applications of Transfer Die:
- Large bending parts that cannot be finished in progressive dies
- Large drawn parts that require transfer among several drawing dies for completion
- Frames and Structural Components
FPC PUNCHING TOOL
We not only fabricate tool and die for sheet metal, but also for non-metal sheet material such as rubber sheet, plastic sheet, FPC (top 10 tool maker in GD) and membranes for world-class enterprises in consumer, medical, defense industries.
