Sheet Metal Fabrication

All grades of materials are used, from the traditional steels to aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, and stainless steel.  The presses handle metal thickness from .005 to .500 with a bed size up to 84" x 50" with a 10" stroke with electronic servo feeds.

Stampings are generally produced on a single-stage tooling (one hit) or multi-stage tooling (multiple hits in a laid out progression known as a progressive die). Metal is either feed in sheet or coil form through the die. The operations that might be included within the die would be blanking, piercing, forming and/or drawing. Any combination of these would be incorporated into the hard tooling to produce a metal stamping or eyelet.
