Stamping is a common practice used by many industries to produce specific results. Metal stamping, often called metal pressing, is a cold working process with results that are attractive to metal fabricators and manufacturers alike. While several types of metal stamping are available, one of the classifications is precision metal stamping. A specific form of this type is deep draw stamping.
What Is It?
Deep drawing is a means through which companies can produce a variety of regular and/or irregular hollow shapes or vessels. The process pulls or draws a component into a die cavity. The depth of the indentation is equal to or actually exceeds the lowest width of the part.
Among the most common shapes resulting from the process are cylinders, shells, and squares. These form a variety of common objects including
• Cans
• Caps
• Covers
• Cups
• Cylinders
• Eyelets
• Hemispheres
• Housings
• Pans
• Rivet bodies
• Tubes
Benefits
Deep draw stamping provides several benefits. Among those cited the most are:
• Economical: This type of precision stamping is economical, particularly if it addresses the needs of large volumes of work
• Complete Stamping: Deep drawing is able to provide complete stamping in a single operation. This includes beads, holes and side notches
• Cost-Effective: It lowers the cost per unit – even when the volumes are smaller
• Versatile: The process is able to deliver the exacting specifications for a number of diverse industries including aerospace, appliances, automotive and heavy equipment manufacturers
These are the major reasons why many companies rely on the process to provide them with the components they require for their products.
Deep Draw Stamping
If you are looking for precision components, consider precision stamping. If you require irregular and/or regular hollow vessels of a specific depth, contemplate the benefits of deep draw stamping. This process is a very efficient and cost-effective way to produce components to meet exacting specifications.
