Progressive Die Stamping
Progressive die stamping is a process that involves modifying raw metals in a variety of different ways. This can include bending, coining, and punching, among many others. All of these methods are applied in tandem with an automatic feeding system, which will turn out a unique, complex component to your specifications. Several individual work stations are utilized, with each performing multiple operations on the component. The part is then carried between each by the stock strip and is cut out of the strip in the final operation.
Hardy-Reed’s team of experts consistently prove their knowledge of progressive die fundamentals, which is key to producing a quality, cost-effective die and piece component. The more complex the die, the more important the decisions are on the fundamentals. We take great care in our decision making, especially as the complexity of a die bears heavily on what a given project requires.
