Metal Stamp Experts Tell You What You Should Know

By Thomas West


If you need both flexibility and precision for your application, designing your metal press process can certainly deliver. At the same time, choosing the right type of speeds for your fabricating equipment can be confusing. Providers of servo feed, air feeds and other components for fabrication are often metal stamp experts who can help you make the right choice for your particular application. This basic information can help you consider the different types of feeds available for your machining needs.

What Do You Need? Metal stamping is a catch-all phrase. The term is a broad one that includes some methods used to turn a sheet of metal into the parts you need for your equipment or product. The best stamping companies can do punch press, metal stamping, and stamp press work. But that's not all. They will offer blanking, embossing, bending, coining and flanging. Start your search for a metal fabrication company with a search for manufacturers of the specific parts you need.

What Relationship do You Want? Before you place a call to get a quote, think about what your relationship with metal stamping experts. Exactly what do you hope to gain from it? Some of the more obvious reasons to work directly with a stamping company include: Perfectly customized parts for your machinery, Reduced manufacturing costs, Improved quality of your products, Increased productivity in your plant and Design advice and expertise.

HVAC- Heating and air conditioning systems require metal ductwork and other formed metal pieces for HVAC systems. Metal stamping experts not only provide those shaped metal pieces - they create the machinery that stamps, cuts, bends and shapes them.

Does Flexibility Play a Role? Some companies are easy to work with. They'll modify designs, customize parts and make substitutions to your orders as needed. Other companies are more rigid - and frequently, considerably more affordable. How important is flexibility to your company?

Servo Feeds- The fastest growing trend for many machining industries is the servo feed. Servo feeds are extremely versatile and are capable of feeding material in any position of the ram stroke. This allows for longer feeds. Part geometry isn't an issue because they don't require half the stroke of the machine as mechanical roll feeds do.

Because they're programmable, the unit can store and retrieve tooling information, reducing setup time. Newer servo feeds allow for higher speeds without risk of marking the material. The biggest disadvantages are cost and maintenance, and the fact that special operator training may be required.

Does he understand your needs and can he communicate them effectively to the design department? If the company doesn't offer you an open line of communication, along with assurances and guarantees of updates throughout the process, look for another company that will be a better partner in your endeavors. Your final product is only as good as the equipment and components used in its manufacture. Choosing the right metal stamping experts gives you a head start on producing valued products.
