Precision Metal Stamping Services
Progressive stamping is a high-efficiency metal forming process that uses a series of dies within a single press. As strip metal feeds through each station, operations including punching, bending, coining, and cutting are completed in sequence. This continuous process delivers complex stamped parts at high speed with consistent quality and minimal scrap.
Advantages of Precision Metal Stamping
High Speed Production
Progressive dies run continuously at high stroke rates, producing thousands of parts per hour with minimal operator intervention.
Consistent Part Quality
Each part goes through the same sequence of stations, ensuring identical dimensions across millions of production cycles.
Reduced Material Waste
Optimized strip layout nests parts closely together, maximizing material utilization and lowering raw material costs.
Cost Effective Manufacturing
Combines multiple operations into one die, reducing labor and secondary processing compared to piecemeal fabrication.
Precision Metal Stamping General Tolerances
For most stamped parts, general tolerances follow industry standards unless otherwise specified in the drawing. Actual tolerances depend on part geometry, material type, die design, and press conditions.
| Nominal Dimension Range(mm) | Length Tolerance(±mm) | Thickness Tolerance(±mm) |
| 0~10 | 0.05 | 0.03 |
| 10~30 | 0.08 | 0.04 |
| 30~80 | 0.12 | 0.05 |
| 80~150 | 0.18 | 0.06 |
Tolerances listed are minimums for ideal conditions. Looser tolerances may apply depending on part geometry, material selection, and processing requirements. contact us
