Fourslide metal stamping is a fourslide metal stamping and forming process best suited for the production of multiple formed material-intensive parts or parts that require the most accuracy in shaping. Here at James Spring we handle the precision forming and shaping of parts in-house which not only ensures high quality but has the added advantage of helping our customers streamline planning that can reduce costs and lead times.
Whether your company’s needs are clips, clamps, terminal boxes, partition brackets, corner braces, u-mounts, mounting brackets, etc., we will work with you to make a high-quality product and meet your company’s goals. Our engineers work with our customers throughout the product development cycle to meet the specific needs of your company, to minimize costs, and to produce the finished product in a timely manner.
About Fourslide Stamping
Fourslide metal stamping is a specialized precision metal stamping process that allows four slides to produce complex stamped material-intensive parts from strips and wires. The process can form, bend, fold, punch, tap and twist any part, or form parts requiring bends greater than 90°. During four slide forming, sliding tools, regulated by cams, glide in from four directions at right angles to one another, bending the metal around a vertical mandrel. During press operation, the slide maintains movement to and from a motionless table called a press bed. The die, a press tool consisting of a specially designed cavity, shapes metal parts from the inserted sheet metal. The upper component of the die connects to the press slide, and the lower component connects to the press bed. A die component called the punch performs the necessary shaping operation by pushing the sheet metal through the die.
The Advantage of the Fourslide Precision Stamping
The advantage of the fourslide precision metal stamping process is its ability to complete all of the complex operations required to form a single piece from start to finish. Fourslide metal stamping is the most cost-effective service for producing material intensive parts for production. Precision metal stamping can mass produce parts at lower rates greater than what is possible using other traditional methods.
Industrial and Business Applications for Fourslide Stamping
Four slide stamping can be used to produce the necessary material intensive parts in a variety of industries ranging from mining and medical to electrical, building, and automotive. Once the die is set, we can bend, punch, and cut the metal strip to produce the parts on an industrial level, at an output capable of tens of thousands a day.
