Precision Metal Stamping

Precision Metal Stamping Products

From medical devices to aerospace parts, precision metal stamping is a popular manufacturing process used in many products and industries. Involving the use of specialized machinery blank or coiled sheet metal is transformed into various custom shapes. This process offers a very high degree of design flexibility with regard to implementing minute features with strict tolerances and unique configurations.

At James Spring & Wire we perform precision metal stamping operations, such as forming, blanking, and piercing, on materials of up to 0.093″ in thickness, using high-speed four-slide machines and presses. Our metal stamping services are suitable for forming sheet metals made from various materials, including stainless steel, copper, and aluminum. Featuring a maximum tonnage capacity of 22 tons, our machines can perform accurate stamping operations with good repeatability.

An in-house tooling fabrication service supports our stamping capabilities, and we provide secondary services, including heat treatment, surface treatment, and plating, for the finishing of stamped components.

High-Quality Precision Metal Stamping

To ensure high quality in all our precision metal stamping products, we have various quality control programs in place, including statistical process control (SPC) and part certification. Verification of existing customer designs on stampings and design assistance according to your stamping requirements are also provided.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Stampings

Precision metal stampings are used in a wide variety of applications, from electronics and medical devices to automotive and aerospace components. They are often used to create small, complex parts with high accuracy and consistency.

Precision metal stampings can be manufactured from a variety of materials, including Aluminum, Beryllium Copper, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Elgiloy, Hastelloy, High Carbon Steel, Inconel, Low Carbon Steel, Monel, MP35N, Nitinol, Phosphor Bronze, and Stainless Steel (17-7 SS, 302 SS, 304 SS, 316 SS, & 316L SS). The material used will depend on the specific application and the required performance characteristics of the metal stamping.

There are several factors that should be considered when designing a precision metal stamping, including the stamping’s intended use, the desired accuracy and consistency, the material used, and the available space for the metal stamping.

The manufacturing process for precision metal stampings typically involves using specialized equipment, such as a stamping press or a progressive die, to form and cut metal sheets into the desired shape. The metal sheets are often subjected to various heat treatments and finishing processes to improve their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
