Types of Metal Stamping
How We Work
Metal Stamping Process
Composidie’s metal stamping process is engineered for consistency, speed, and precision. From die design through production and inspection, every step is tightly controlled to ensure repeatable results at high volumes. Our vertically integrated approach minimizes variation, shortens lead times, and keeps quality built into every stamped component.
Part Review & Process Planning
Every project begins with a detailed part and application review. Our engineering team evaluates geometry, tolerances, material selection, and production volumes to determine the optimal stamping method, tooling approach, and press configuration before any tooling is built.
Progressive Die Design & Build
We design and build progressive stamping dies in-house using AutoCAD 2D and SolidWorks 3D. Dies are engineered for long-run durability, consistent strip progression, and high-speed operation, ensuring stable performance throughout the life of the tool.
Material Preparation & Feeding
Coils or strip material are prepared and fed with precision to maintain alignment and support high stroke rates. Proper material handling ensures clean progression through the die and reduces wear on tooling components.
High-Speed Stamping Production
Parts are produced on high-speed Bruderer and gap-frame presses running up to 1,800 strokes per minute. Progressive, compound, and bandolier tooling allows complex features, tight tolerances, and in-die operations to be completed efficiently in a single press cycle.
In-Process Monitoring & Inspection
In-die sensors and inline Vision Systems monitor part presence, feed accuracy, and critical dimensions during production. These controls allow issues to be detected immediately, reducing scrap and maintaining consistent output across long production runs.
Final Inspection & Secondary Operations
Finished stampings undergo final inspection in our QA labs, with optional secondary processes such as cleaning or machining completed in-house. Parts are verified to meet specifications before packaging and shipment.
Unleashing the Power of Precision
Our presses demonstrate our commitment to excellence, operating at speeds of up to 1,800 strokes per minute for high-speed production. From progressive to compound and bandolier tools, we have the expertise and technology to deliver exceptional results.
The Right Fit for Every Job
We understand that each metal stamping project is unique, which is why we offer reel-to-reel and loose-piece stamping capabilities for both individual components and stamped metal assemblies. This versatility allows us to be the right fit for any job, regardless of its complexity or scale.
Explore the key aspects of our metal stamping prowess below:
Press Floors
Our press floors at Composidie highlight our commitment to innovation. They feature new press lines enhancing efficiency and expanding capabilities across three advanced facilities. Sustainable packaging schemes optimize material usage, while cutting-edge inline vision inspection systems ensure top-notch quality. Periphery processes like inline cleaning, taping, and offline cleaning complement our comprehensive metal stamping approach.
QA Labs
Quality assurance is at the center of everything we do. Our QA labs are equipped with advanced inspection technologies that leave no room for error. We offer functional testing capabilities that rigorously assess the performance of our precision metal stampings. Additionally, our insertion and retention force testing procedures guarantee the durability and reliability of our products.
Tool Room / Die Development
Behind every metal stamping lies a meticulously crafted die, the heart of our operation. In our cutting-edge tool room, our team of expert progressive stamping tool and die makers utilizes state-of-the-art tools and technologies, such as AutoCAD 2D and SolidWorks 3D, to design and develop progressive metal stamping dies. But our commitment to precision and quality doesn’t end there. We continuously improve and refine our carbide stamping tools throughout the stamping process, ensuring ongoing enhancements to quality and performance.
Grinding / Tooling Support
To uphold the highest standards in our dies and tooling, we’ve invested in top-of-the-line grinding and tooling support equipment. This allows us to quickly modify die components through our die development department and ensures that we maintain the quality and specifications of each component, guaranteeing that our stamping dies are unrivaled in quality.
At Composidie, we take pride in our comprehensive approach to metal stamping, combining innovation, technology, and expertise to deliver precision and quality that exceed expectations.
Precision and Tolerance Control Built Into Every Stroke
We build dimensional accuracy into every tool, press, and inspection checkpoint on our floor. Composidie produces precision metal stampings with tolerances dialed in to support demanding electrical, medical, and aerospace applications. We work within tight spec windows on critical features, even when running at high stroke rates.
From first-piece validation to in-process checks, our quality systems catch variation before it moves downstream. Our presses, tooling, and material flow maintain repeatability across long runs, regardless of part complexity or material type.
When your project calls for progressive metal stamping on thin-gauge stainless or high-speed stamping of intricate copper terminals, we maintain control at every stage, so the final part meets spec without slowdowns or scrap.
Materials and Process Synergy That Keeps Production Moving
Metal stamping doesn’t operate in a vacuum, and at Composidie, it doesn’t have to. Our in-house capabilities include precision machining and reel-to-reel plating, making it easier to coordinate secondary processes without introducing delays or added vendors.
We stamp numerous materials, from copper and aluminum to stainless steel and harder alloys that demand carbide stamping tools. By controlling stamping, plating, and machining under one roof, we help ensure that every part meets its performance requirements before it ships.
This level of integration shortens lead times, improves process alignment, and gives your team one point of contact from tooling through final inspection.
