Fourslide Stampings
A fourslide stamp is a particular stamping process that produces complex stamped parts requiring a bend greater than 90°. A fourslide is a mechanism that guides a forming tool into the correct position. The fourslide does this action quickly and repeatedly, time and again, producing a large quantity of identical products in a short period of time.
Fourslide machines are economically beneficial for manufacturing intricate parts like metal springs, wireforms, and stampings. Those applications that cannot be accomplished on a regular press without additional secondary processes can be easily made with fourslide machines. Fourslide machines have several advantages to other metal stamping processes. These include: a high level of accuracy, repeated results, and a reduced cost in tooling fees.
The die is a press tool for cutting or forming material in a stamping machine. Dies and punches work together in stamping presses; the punch pushes the sheet metal through the die. Metal Stamping is efficient, economical, and offers a wide range of durable shapes and components. Metal Stamping is utilized for many applications, such as the production of hardware and tools and in the automotive, plumbing, construction, and electronics industries.
