FUNCTION-INTEGRATED

Precision stamped and punched sheet metal parts for high-volume production

Stamping

Stamping enables the cost-effective mass production of precision sheet metal components, stamped parts and stamped-and-bent parts, with high repeatability, short cycle times and low unit costs.

Customer benefits: Design engineers benefit from precise contours, functional bent-part geometries and reproducible quality. Purchasing managers benefit from high output rates, efficient material utilisation and cost-effective part prices in series production.

What is Stamping?

Stamping is a cutting-to-size manufacturing process in which flat metal strips or sheets are cut to shape using stamping dies in a press. Stamping is often combined directly with forming processes such as bending, embossing or deep drawing.

The process is particularly well-suited to the automated mass production of identical sheet metal components. Thanks to short cycle times, high precision and efficient use of material, tooling costs are recouped, particularly with large production volumes.

Stamped parts and stamped-bent parts are frequently used where high production volumes, consistent quality and low unit costs are key factors.
