The benefits of utilizing the progressive die stamping process characteristically include:
- The ability to utilize of multiple cutting and/or forming operations simultaneously.
- Excellent suitability to produce components at a rapid rate.
- The ability to produce two or more parts per press stroke.
- Quick set-up.
- Ability to maintain control of part location throughout stamping process.
- The capability to maintain consistently close tolerances.
- High press tonnage.
The benefits of utilizing Stewart EFI for your progressive die stamping applications:
- Engineering and design support to jointly design or redesign your component to minimize cost, maximize quality and facilitate the quickest and easiest application of the stamped component into your product. (VA / VE).
- Extensive pre-production planning and analysis (APQP).
- Dedicated and separate new tooling development and production tooling maintenance areas with try-out presses to facilitate evaluation.
- Robust designs including precise strip and part control and utilizing design to cost principles.
- Dies are designed with modular and often interchangeable components made of carbide to increase run sizes, reduce maintenance time and therefore minimize non-value added down time.
- Utilization of sophisticated electronic, mechanical, optical and magnetic sensors for die protection, defect detection and part measurement as well as integrated press monitoring systems to ensure part quality.
- Lowest total cost stamped components in the industry.
- Long term high quality consistency.
- Quicker response time and shorter deliveries.
- Extensive highly skilled and experienced technical and support staff.
- Tools guaranteed for life of part.
- In-die tapping or threading of one or more holes for parts later requiring screw insertion.
- Ability to automatically attach, in-die, two or more components through mechanical staking or welding.
