Progressive die stamping is the most well-known stamping method. Because it is centralized to one station, large pieces can be made in high quantities over a short period of time. Progressive dies are the ideal way to manufacture metal forms in high volume. Complex dies are made to decrease labor and increase cycle time. Partnered with a high part volume and a tooling investment, progressive die stamping can achieve exceptionally low piece prices and an extremely high-quality part!
Benefits of Progressive Die Stamping
Like any metal forming process, progressive die has its advantages that may be best suited to fit your specific production needs. When you come to Buchanan Sales with your design or model, our sales team can best advise you on your options for progressive die stamping. Below is an overview of the benefits of producing your component with a progressive die process.
- High volume—several hundred thousand pieces produced
- One station operation—a single station completes the entire process
- Fast production schedule—large quantities can be completed at once
- Lower prices— the initial tooling cost is higher than a short run stamping process
- Repeatability—one “progressive” die fixture for a component.
- More complexities in the stamping possible.
- Variety of materials can be used.
