Progressive Die Stamping of a Steel Bracket Assembly
Perfection
Spring & Stamping Corp. was contracted to manufacture a large
series of steel bracket assemblies for the automotive industry. This
bracket assembly consisted of three mounting legs per component and a
cover bracket that was originally die casted. Through prototyping and
development testing, our team of engineers established that this
expensive die casting process could be replaced with drawn metal
stamping operations. This solution provided better product at
considerable cost savings!To get more news about progressive die stamping, you can visit tenral.com official website.
Offering
a more stable metal forming procedure, drawn metal stamping eliminated
the need for other secondary operations and fasteners. Moreover, with
the ability to maintain tighter tolerances - as well as provide better
transfer of heat in extreme temperatures to meet the customer's RFI/EMI
requirements - this process yielded a higher quality product.
Additionally, the progressive die replaced the need for expensive
maintenance costs associated with die cast tooling. When the results
were tabulated, this solution generated an annual cost savings equal to
$200,000 per year over the five-year program, providing our customer
with a total savings of $1,000,000.
