Our compound stamping technology integrates 8 processes such as punching, forming, and flanging, equipped with more than 30 (40-200 tons) presses, achieving ±0.01mm ultra-precision tolerances, and supporting 0.2-6mm stainless steel/copper synchronous processing. The multi-station linkage system enables daily output to exceed 15,000 pieces, and the mold life reaches 3 million strokes.

Long-run Stamping

The long-run stamping process is optimized for high-volume production, significantly reducing unit costs through economies of scale. The process is well suited to parts with stable demand and ensures high precision and efficiency using dedicated dies. It supports continuous operation and is ideal for industries that require large quantities of identical parts and meet strict quality standards.

Transfer Die Stamping

Unlike line stamping, which processes the metal strip through multiple stations within a single die, transfer die stamping uses a separate die for each operation. In transfer die stamping, parts are moved from one station to the next by mechanical handlers, allowing each part to undergo multiple operations such as punching, bending, and trimming in separate but sequential dies.

Four-slide Stamping

Four-slide stamping means forming the part from four axes (rather than one direction). This method is used to manufacture small and complex parts. Four-slide stamping has higher design flexibility, lower production costs and faster manufacturing speed.

Slide Stamping

Slide stamping is our special sheet metal stamping service, mainly used for processing multi-angle flanges, side punches and local protrusions. We choose the number of slides according to the complexity of the part.

Short-run Stamping

Short-run stamping is a metal stamping technology designed for small-batch production needs, usually suitable for orders with a production volume of 50 to 10,000 pieces. Elimold specializes in providing flexible short-run stamping services to meet the needs of customers for prototype testing or market trials.

Our in-mold sensors allow us to monitor tool performance in real time, thereby improving efficiency and reducing downtime caused by misfires, pulls, misalignment and other tool damage issues. Our ability to manufacture carbide precision stamping tools in-house allows for extremely high accuracy, regardless of complexity.

Types of Metal Stamping Die

We can custom various types of stamping dies to meet your specific needs. Our experienced engineers will work closely with you to develop a die that meets your design and production requirements.

Forming Tooling

Forming stage tooling is used to reduce production time for metal bending. Perhaps the most economical way to stamp metal, we use a punch press instead of a press brake to bend tabs, flanges or offsets. This tooling is an excellent choice for customers who want to reduce part cost without increasing tooling costs. It works by first blanking the part with a laser or turret cutting and then forming it with a hard tool.

Compound Tooling

If it is too expensive to blank the part using a laser or turret cutting, the next step is to use compound tooling. With compound tooling, we punch out the entire layout of the part with each revolution of the punch press. This is the fastest way to produce a layout and can be used in conjunction with forming tooling as a secondary option if the progressive tooling option is not economical.

Progressive Tooling

Progressive tooling combines forming and blanking into one process. Typically, coil or sheet stock is loaded into one side of the punch press. Once the part is complete, including forming, coining, offsets and other desired features, it is complete. This option is best suited for high volume production. This production tooling can reduce part costs, primarily due to reduced handling and labor, and increased efficiency. Tooling costs will vary depending on the complexity and features of the part.

What is metal stamping?

Metal stamping is the process of forming sheet metal into specific shapes using dies. This includes stamping individual sections of sheet metal as well as pressing it into specific shapes. The process may involve a single operation or may include multiple dies combined to produce the final part in succession. First, the sheet metal is placed in the stamping press with the dies and tools ready to perform their functions. When the press is started, it applies a high force that causes the dies to cut, bend, punch or emboss the metal into the desired shape. The process can be done in one go or in multiple stages, depending on the complexity of the part being produced.
Each set of dies is carefully designed to ensure that the metal is formed precisely to the specified dimensions and tolerances. The ability to perform operations such as blanking, piercing, forming and stretching in rapid succession makes metal stamping very efficient in mass production. In addition, technological advances have improved precision, making it possible to manufacture components with complex features and tight tolerances. Post-stamping operations may include deburring, cleaning and finishing, which further enhance the quality and functionality of the stamped part.
