Progressive dies are very common in the production of stamping parts and have their own unique advantages. The progressive die can process multiple stamping processes in the same mold, and can be formed at one time with high efficiency. Progressive die stamping has the following characteristics:
1) The progressive die can include multiple processes, such as blanking, bending, forming, drawing, etc. One punch can be used to complete the stamping process from sheet metal to finished product, which improves production efficiency and equipment utilization, and is suitable for Produce complex small parts.
2) Although the design and manufacturing of progressive molds are more cumbersome and costly, when conditions permit, the use of progressive molds can reduce mold costs, improve production efficiency, reduce product costs, and has the characteristics of safe operation.
3) The progressive die is suitable for situations where the workpiece is of moderate size and the process is complex. It can complete multiple processes continuously, but it needs to pay attention to the utilization rate of materials and the accuracy of the workpiece.
4) The progressive die needs to use long strips of sheet metal, which has strict requirements on the thickness and width of the material. At the same time, it will produce a lot of waste, so you need to pay attention to the utilization rate of the material. Due to the continuous various stamping operations, the workpieces produced by progressive dies have low precision.
