If you’re considering deep draw stamping, you should know the steps that it takes. While adaptable to produce specific parts, our deep drawn stamping method typically follows a five-step approach that emphasizes rigorous design evaluation, detailed simulations, and powerful press techniques, all geared toward achieving high-quality, custom parts that meet exact specifications.
The Steps To Deep Draw Stamping
Design Review
Our team of engineers first assesses each part’s design to ensure suitability for deep drawing. This step includes a thorough analysis of dimensions, material selection, draw ratios, and tolerance needs to maintain the component’s structural and functional integrity.
Press Selection
Based on the part’s specifications, we select a press capable of applying up to 400 tons of force, matched to the material and dimensions for optimal performance. The chosen press is the first step in ensuring the consistency and quality of each stamped piece.
Deep Drawn Prototyping
Before physical production, there may be instances where we need to create a virtual prototype or even physical prototype of the part, allowing us to simulate the entire deep drawing process. This helps identify and resolve potential design issues early, saving both time and resources.
Equipment Setup
Skilled technicians meticulously set up the die and punch to ensure precise alignment, enabling accurate shape formation and tolerance control. This setup phase is crucial for achieving uniform wall thickness and overall part accuracy.
Deep Draw Execution
With the metal blank positioned on the die, the press engages, applying controlled force to drive the material into the die. This process may involve multiple drawing stages for deep parts to reach the final shape and size, with each stage carefully calibrated for precision.
This structured process, from detailed design review through powerful pressing, ensures high-quality, custom deep-drawn components suitable for various applications.
