Progressive die drawing, or progressive stamping, is a forming process that utilizes a series of stamping stations to perform simultaneous operations on sheet metal. The final metal workpiece is developed as the strip of metal is processed through the stamping die.
The progressive die stamping process characteristics include:
- The utilization of multiple cutting and/or forming operations simultaneously,
- Excellent suitability to produce small workpieces at a rapid rate,
- The necessity to invest in expensive die sets,
- The ability to save time and money by combining forming operations,
- The capability to maintain close tolerances, depending on the tools.
As the metal strip is moved through the drawing process, it is exposed to a series of progressive die stations, each one changing the metal configuration left on the metal by the previous station. Therefore, the metal workpiece is created in a series of stamping stages.
