Stamping AKA Pressing
Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a new shape. Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining. This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages.
In certain applications hydraulic stamping presses provide significant benefits over their mechanical counterparts, including the ability to apply full tonnage throughout the stroke and precisely control the ram’s pressure and position. Precision and programmability are vital to create the most efficient stamping operation and protect your investment in tools and machinery from unnecessary wear.
Sheet metal forming remains a strong global industry with significant growth in emerging economies. Continued growth in the automotive market will drive the demand for metal forming equipment. Along with that, many existing automotive assembly plant press rooms are due for equipment replacement. Demand is also increasing at Tier 1 and Tier 2 level suppliers. ‘Servo’ stamping presses are increasing in popularity over the traditional mechanical flywheel press.
