SERVICE SCOPE & CAPABILITIES

Stamping Die Types We Manufacture

As a dedicated stamping die manufacturer, we engineer the die architecture around your part geometry, material grade and annual volume — then build it in-house from design to tryout on our own presses.

Progressive Dies

Multi-Station High-Speed Tooling

  • Multi-station dies for terminals, connectors, brackets and frames
  • Strip layout optimization with material utilization of 70%+
  • Pilot, guide and sensor positions engineered for high-speed presses
  • Powder-HSS or carbide inserts at high-wear stations

Compound Dies

Blank and Form in a Single Stroke

  • Simultaneous piercing and blanking with precise hole-to-edge control
  • Flat parts with formed features up to medium volumes
  • Tight punch-die clearance held by jig grinding and wire EDM

Forming Dies

Bend, Draw and Coining Tooling

  • Bending, drawing and coining operations with springback compensation
  • Air-bend, bottom-bend and draw tooling for sheet metal parts
  • Forming analysis to predict and correct springback before steel is cut

Stage Dies

Sequential Single-Operation Tooling

  • Sequential operations for large or complex parts at low–medium volume
  • Simpler maintenance and lower tooling cost per operation
  • Flexible station layout for part families and frequent changeovers

DFM ENGINEERING SUPPORT

Stamping Die DFM and Engineering Support

Send us your part drawing and annual volume — our engineers run a forming feasibility review before we cut steel, so die cost, part quality and tool life are decided on the drawing, not in the tryout press.

Stamping Feasibility Analysis

Formability and Springback Review

Bend radii, wall angles and draw depth checked against material grade and thickness; springback compensation built into the die geometry.

Strip Layout and Material Yield

Optimized nesting and strip progression cut scrap and lower cost per part — a 10% yield gain often pays for the die.

Clearance, Tolerances and Edge Quality

Punch-die clearance matched to material type and thickness; hole-to-edge and flatness tolerances validated before tooling commit.

Press Compatibility Check

Required tonnage, shut height, die space and feed pitch verified against your press or our in-house tryout presses.

Our 6-Step Die Build Process

DIE MATERIALS AND COMPLIANCE

Tool Steels, Coatings and Material Traceability

Die steel selection drives tool life, part cost and maintenance intervals. We stock and certify the grades that dominate stamping die construction — from long-run blanking to abrasive high-speed punching.

Cold-Work Steel

D2 / SKD11

Best For

Long-run blanking and piercing diesProgressive die plates and punches

Properties

High wear resistanceGood dimensional stability in heat treatment

Typical Hardness

58–62 HRC
Standard choice for progressive and compound dies — stocked, hardened in-house with hardness records.
High-Speed Steel

M2 / SKH51

Best For

High-speed punching and piercing punchesThin-stock terminals and connectors

Properties

Excellent red hardness and toughnessRetains edge at high stroke rates

Typical Hardness

62–65 HRC
Preferred for punch materials where edge life between regrinds is critical.
Carbide

Tungsten Carbide Inserts

Best For

Millions-of-strokes applicationsAbrasive materials — spring steel, stainless, laminates

Properties

Up to 10× tool life vs tool steelBrazed or mechanical retention

Coating Options

TiN, CrN, TiCN, DLC
Carbide inserts selected per station where tool life must reach millions of strokes.

Material Certificates Included with Every Die

Spectrometer analysis, heat treatment logs and hardness records ship with the tool — PPAP-ready documentation on request.
