Today, we will get to know about the process of making stamping dies. Metal stamping dies are special tools that assist in the production of metal sheets with required shapes and sizes. In the analogy to making cookies, you can think of stamping dies as cookie cutters that you use to make fun shapes out of dough. In the same way that a cookie cutter shapes a heart or star into dough, stamping dies cut metal in various forms. The way WenZhou does the die making is also very special that give every piece satisfactory and best function in variety of projects.
Designing the Stamping Dies
Before doing so, however, WenZhou must first figure out how the stamping dies and Stamping Products are supposed to look. More details follows, but the design is key and it will decide how well the die itself works. The people who do this are professionals, they have computers with neat programs that allow them to make exact and precise designs. It allows to avoid re-tooling time and make the stamping dies work efficiently. So what if I were to tell you that a good design will make it far less likely for any of these issues to surface, and everybody wins right?
Testing the Stamping Dies
After production of the parts, it is essential to test these for its usability. This step is crucial! WenZhou needs those notches to be made the way they WANT THEM to be. They accomplish this by sampling the dies on a snippet of metal. That way, they can make sure everything is all right or if something should be corrected before they are used with real work. Time and materials are saved when testing catches issues early.
Caring for the Stamping Dies
A stamping die or Stamping molds may become worn after repeated utilization. As is the case with your favorite toy losing a bit of its luster after playing with it too much, stamping dies eventually need some maintenance to continue performing well. Therefore, WenZhou said that maintaining the cleanliness and oiling of the stamping die parts should be as early as maintenance of a bicycle. Assuming the dies are maintained well, stamping dies can last awhile, which helps WenZhou better serve their tight tolerance demanding customers.
Keeping Stamping Dies Strong
The same is true for some smart ways of making stamping dies and Stamping material last even longer. You should instead use materials that do not get worn out after a brief time. That will decrease the repair work for stamping die and at same time prolonged life of the will be increased. WenZhou also recommends having extra parts close to hand in the event something breaks or wears out, it can be quickly and easily replaced. Try to cut with the dies as little as possible or use them on softer metals, so that it does not wear out so fast. WenZhou will use these methods to keep their stamping dies strong and productive.
