Stamping is a technological process that enables the production of mechanical parts by deforming a base metal material.ProcessStamping can be carried out at room temperature (cold stamping) or with the material in a red-hot state (hot stamping). Cold stamping is primarily used for the production of small parts, which are abundant in vehicle bodies. When the deformation of the sheet metal is significant, the process is called deep drawing, which is achieved through various passes of the sheet through the press dies or presses.Various Shapes, Sizes, and ApplicationsOur expertise in cold stamping techniques for automotive metal parts allows us to offer a diverse range of shapes, sizes, and applications that can be integrated into both the interior and exterior systems of vehicles.CapabilitiesManual and progressive hydraulic presses.CharacteristicsFor the execution of these tasks, we have manual and progressive hydraulic presses that allow us to work with a wide range of materials and coil sizes.Coil width: 80 to 800 mmCoil thickness: 0.5 to 5 mmForce: 160 to 600 tonnesTable dimensions (length x width): 1,300 to 3,000 x 800 to 2,000 mm
Sheet Metal Hot Stamping
Hot stamping, also known as press hardened steel (PHS), is a process where a sheet of metal is heated in a furnace, transferred by a robot into a press, and formed in a steel or kirksite die. Our fully automated low volume, hot stamping cell provides reliability and repeatability in the manufacturing process of your parts. The onsite metallurgy lab allows us to test our hot stamped parts post-production in order to validate the material properties and ensure that we meet your expectations for high quality products.
Our state-of-the-art hot stamping cell and metallurgy lab allow us to provide our customers with quality products every time.
What Makes Our Hot Stamping Unique
We can run hot stamping simulations with a thermal component prior to manufacturing.
We are engineered to utilize a repeatable process that is ideal for low volume and prototype applications. The ability to run hot stamping simulations with a thermal component prior to manufacturing leads to more accurate simulation results, yielding better tooling and prediction of material performance.
How is our hot stamping process different?
Robotic handling – Our fully integrated robotic handling system allows us to load and unload at the same location, increasing accuracy and repeatability. PLCs control the oven and robotics, creating a fully integrated system where parameters can be adjusted easily as needed.
Onsite metallurgy lab – Hot stamping sheet metal changes the microstructure of the materials, making it stronger. Our onsite lab gives us the ability to quickly test material properties to ensure parts are meeting your specifications. This gives us real time results which we can use during process development.
Speed – We manufacture our own press hardened steel tooling in-house to reduce program start-up time. Material testing onsite reduces the amount of time needed to verify material properties. This allows us to control program timing internally and reduces the overall length of the process.
Vertical integration – We have the ability to manufacture our own tooling, perform material testing, laser cutting, and quality checks onsite. Performing all operations internally gives us much better control over the final product, as well as a quicker delivery.
Our robotic hot stamp cell, metallurgy lab, and ability to perform all operations internally allows us to ensure you receive the quality parts you have come to expect from us while achieving the desired program timing.
