Our Transfer Die Stamping Process

Material Feeding

The process begins with feeding a continuous strip of metal into the press, which is aligned for precision. 

Initial Stamping

The first set of operations is performed on the metal strip using a progressive die, shaping the part's basic form. 

Transfer Mechanism

A transfer mechanism moves the partially formed part from one die station to the next, ensuring accurate positioning. 

Secondary Forming

Additional forming operations, such as bending or piercing, refine the part's shape at each die station. 

Final Stamping

The final die station performs the last stamping operation, completing the part with high precision and tight tolerances. 

Part Ejection

Once the part is fully formed, it is ejected from the die and ready for further processing or inspection. 

Transfer Die Stamping Materials

Transfer die stamping requires precise control over material forming and shaping. Advanced techniques ensure consistent quality, high accuracy, and efficient production processes.
