Hydraulic Press Machine for Stamping Forming

Stamping forming is a forming technique that’s widely used for the manufacturing of various metallic plates components. The technique is widely in industries that use plates in the manufacturing of their products. A good example is the car industry that uses multiple plates for the making of the cars’ bodies. That’s why this technique becomes useful since you can make hundreds of identical plates with just one stamping machine and in a short time.

The stamping forming technique uses a stamping machine to convert the metal blanks to the required work-pieces. These are machines designed to make the entire process of stamping precise by producing the right force or tonnage to press the work-piece. However, for this forming technique to work, there must be good quality stamping equipment, mold, and sheet metal. The sheet metal produces the work-piece, which is then converted into the desired shape and size to make a product.

Apart from the equipment, the mold is the most important element in stamping forming. It is the mold that determines the shape and the size of the plate being formed. So, the making of the mold is the most important part of the pressing technique. Sometime, the production of the parts could require the use of precision molds, which needs highly skilled personnel to design. However, the quality of the stamping machine is also an important factor to consider.

There are two main types of stamping processes that are widely used in the industry. They include cold stamping and hot stamping. The choice between the two is determined by the kind of metal that is being stamped. Cold forging is usually used for processing thin plates that can be worked on at room temperature. This includes aluminum plates.

On the other hand, hot stamping processes sheet materials that have high deformation resistance as well as poor plasticity. The blanks are heated first to break deformation resistance hence the name. With this forming technique, you can work with a vast range of metals that considered hard and tough

Stamping forming has two main process categories: separation process and the forming process. The separate process, also known as punching, deforms the sheet material plastically to make the work-pieces using the mold. This is where the size and the shape of the work-piece are formed. The forming process then includes the making of the actual product from the work-piece. The stages of the forming process include bending, deep drawing, tension, spinning, shaping, bulging, flanging, and shrinkage.

There are many reasons why tamping forming is popular with metallic plates’ manufacturers. One of the biggest advantages of stamping forming is that you can work on a vast range of metals.
