The production of complex sheet metal components requires a series of operations.

In this context, the use of progressive die s can be the right approach for the efficient and cost-effective production of large quantities.

This is one of the reasons why stamping presses, a combination of coil processing line, progressive die and stamping press, are a classic setup in a press shop.

Progressive dies are used when the cost of sheet metal parts needs to be kept to a minimum for high volume production.

A prog ressive die usually consists of several tool stations.

In each tool station one or more forming operations (e.g. stamping, drawing, bendi ng, embossing, punching, cutting) are performed in sequence.

In progressive die applications, the material is always supplied from a coil.

The coil straightener then equalizes the coil curvature of the sheet metal strip before the sheet metal strip is fed precisely into the actual forming process by means of a coil feeder.

To achieve the best possible part quality, an optimal strip side guidance throughout the entire forming process plays a central role.

In cases of limited experience in metal forming technology or in implementation of a new forming process in clients press shops, even during the planning phase with the help of the professional project management team we will provide crucial advises and put the clients in contact with other reliable partners (e.g., press manufacturers, tool manufacturers).
