Metal Stamping Production
High-speed press manufacturing where coil metal or flat bar or Aluminium Extrusions as in the picture displayed, is automatically fed into a press, cut and shaped into the finished component using a precision press tool. Low cost, high quantity built for modern manufacturing
demands.
What we specialise in
Progressive Die Stamping
This starts with a coil that is mounted on a windmill that is pulled through a leveller that flattens the metal which is then pulled into a press. It is pitched a constant distance, say 65mm and then pressed and progressively stamped until you get the finished stamped component.
Deep Drawing
Hydraulic presses stretch and form
metal into deep-draw components ideal for bowls, cups, oil filters, housings and other hollow formed parts.
The Hydraulic press has a slow cycle stroke. The mechanical press has a very fast cycle stroke. Using a hydraulic press as to the mechanical press, this avoids the metal from splitting.
Blanking & Piercing
Blanking in a press is using a press tool
to cut out profile geometry in 2D such as round disc’s or 2D profiles. Forming in the press is bending the metal into 3-dimensional shapes.
From raw material to finished stamped component
01
Tool & Material Setup
The press tool is mounted and set up in the press. Correct material sheet or coil is loaded and fed ready for the production run. We have a job instruction sheet for each job that includes drawings, controls and a production time record sheets for each operation.
02
First-Off Samples
A trial run produces the first components which are measured and checked against the drawing before full production is approved to start. We use a system called FOTS (First Off Tool Sample), which we sign and use through production as our operators reference.
03
Production Run
We run the production checking to the FOTS sporadically as required. At the end of production, we have a LOTS (Last Off Tool Sample) that we compare to the FOTS for production sign off.
04
Inspection & Dispatch
Final quality check against drawing and components are weighed, scale counted. We run the parts through our automatic parts cleaner if it is the customers requirement. We then pack as required and it is then dispatched.

High-speed precision stamping for low cost, high volume production
Coil metal is fed automatically into a press that applies force to cut and shape the metal into the finished component using a precision press tool. The result is a fast, repeatable and cost-effective manufacturing process suited to high-volume production runs. We operate mechanical presses from 15 to 125 tonnes, plus hydraulic presses for deep drawing applications giving us the range to handle simple blanking through to complex formed components.
