Progressive Die & Metal
Our Progressive Die, Deep Draw and Compound stamper has been in business for over 76 years. They have NO DEBT and they have invested heavily in SERVO driven stamping presses. This allows us to be extremely competitive…
Compound die and metal stamping services are often used when medium to low volume stamped parts need to be produced. Compound stamping dies can be made for a lower cost than is required for a complete progressive die.
Compound dies can be used to produce a wide variety of components but they are commonly used for flat blanks or drawn cups as well as rings depending on the complexity of the stamping. Compound tooling is always less expensive than progressive dies but in some cases capable of consistently holding very tight tolerances. If a part just needs to be blanked out, then compound dies can hold a tight tolerance and requires a much lower tooling cost than a progressive die. Current parts that need to be run through multiple different dies to reach their final desired shape would be considered (Compound dies).
If you have a family of medium to low volume parts that are very similar in configuration, this can also be a great scenario for using Compound stampings. For customers that have many parts that require multiple hits in different dies, our manufacturing facility has a very unique set of machines to run these types of parts very competitively. We can set up your compound dies in our line of four 275 ton AIDA SERVO presses that can act like a 1,100-ton compound line for the right project. This line of four presses have roller conveyors that transport parts from one press to the next.
Advantages of using Servo Presses on Compound stampings: Due to the infinite, optional stroke profiles that a servo press can be programmed for, it is often capable of running compound stampings as well as problem stampings more accurately and more efficiently than a conventional stamping press. In many cases eliminating operations as well as being able to run at increased speeds.

Increased Turns & Reduced Lead Times
We have the ability to build and maintain all of our dies.
We also can use outside tool makers if required.
Benefits:
1. The ability to build less expensive tooling than progressive dies and still produce the stamped part that meets the customer's requirements.
2. The ability to take over compound dies from other suppliers and run them in our 4 SERVO press line that is designed to run compound dies. The parts get produced in unison at a much-reduced cost.
3. We have a line of four 275 ton Servo Aida presses that can act like a 1,100-ton transfer/Compound stamping line for the right project. These presses have roller tables between each press to allow our team members to quickly move apart through multiple different die hits to provide a finished part.

Compound stamping is when you use multiple different dies to obtain a finished stamped part. You can produce deep-drawn parts using compound dies as well. A deep-drawn part is when the depth of the drawn cup exceeds its diameter. Deep drawing can be performed in progressive die tooling as well as multiple-stage compound die tooling. It all depends on the depth of the cup. Deep Drawn parts can be produced on conventional flywheel presses as well as Servo presses.
Just like progressive die stampings, deep-drawn stampings use custom dies. The custom dies are used to cut, form and shape rolled sheets of metal using a stamping press. The stamping die is comprised of many individual workstations that help develop the finished part. Each station works in unison to progressively complete each required operation that is necessary to produce a finished part.
The custom dies can perform a wide variety of operations such as cutting, coining, forming, bending, extruding, drawing, embossing, tapping, assembly as well as many others.
- It is one of the most cost-effective manufacturing processes available to produce metal components in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, using almost any material you can imagine.
- You can form as well as draw material to create different material thicknesses, shapes, corners and radiuses to meet your required application.
- The tooling is relatively inexpensive and can last for decades.
- You can convert parts from a wide variety of other metal forming practices such as fabrications, castings, forgings, powdered metal as well as weldments into parts produced as deep-drawn stamping.
