What we have in our list of prime equipment are stamping and pressing machines that are core to metal working. These are used predominantly to bend sheet metals into shaped parts that are required in assembling the final product. We use varying stamping and press tools when manufacturing numerous forms of automotive parts to deliver high production rates and accuracy.

A Brief Look at How Stamping and Press Machines Works?

Stamping and pressing is one of the techniques of working with sheet metal through applying pressure to cause the shape of the containing metal to change using a punch and a die. These machines are normally made of what may be categorized as follows:

  1. Ram or Slide

They are the moving component that carries the punch or the upper die as it is commonly referred to.

  1. Bolster

The member that remains passive and in which the lower die is established, also called the concave bed.

  1. Die Set

The main tools used under the Muir precision-machined tools are the punch as well as the die components.

  1. Feeding System

Auto feeder is an automated feeding system that has the role of feeding the sheet metal into the die area.

Some of these types of stamping an pressing machines used in our operations include,

  1. Mechanical Presses

This is done either by crank shafts or eccentric shafts. It refers to presses that offer high capability and speed of stroke in terms of the tonnage.

  1. Hydraulic Presses

As the hydraulic cylinders are used in these presses, it can be controlled with precision in terms of force and it is also flexible.

  1. Servo Presses

Serving driven rams machines provide greater protection to the process and energy.

The processes involved in stamping and pressing operations often includes the following. These may include,

Blanking | Piercing | Forming | Drawing | Trimming | Coining

It depends on the part which has specific requirement of being used.

Automotive Manufacturing Uses

Many types of automotive parts are made by stamping and pressing processes so that products can be manufactured from sheets of metal. At IGS Engineering, these machinery is employed in processing and manufacturing of parts such as,

Due to assembly-, body panel (doors, hoods, fenders, roofs)

Other parts which undergo corrosion (brackets, reinforcements, frames etc.)

The following parts constitute the suspension system of a vehicle commonly known as control arms and knuckles.

Parts and accessories: Exhaust Manifolds, Pipes, Mufflers

Fuel system details (tanks, protector, holder)

With our super careful selection of tooling materials, die designs, and process factors we ensure to manage accuracy, surface quality, and refined material uses in our stamping and pressing process.

Our regular maintenance, tool monitoring, and continuous process improvement are essential for maintaining high productivity and quality standards in our automotive stamping and pressing operations because we focus on product quality.
