Process of Progressive Stamping ===================================================== The progressive patterns are made by means of a cutting and forming process using a "die" that contains a series of High Speed Precision Stamping to perform simultaneous operations on the metal plate fed by strips from a roll of material. The finished metal part develops as the strip of material is subjected to the process through the die for stamping. This transformation is carried out incrementally, or progressively, through a series of stations that cut and shape the material in the desired shape. A die for progressive stamping ("Die") is a forming device that is designed and constructed to convert a flat metal strip into finished pieces that are shaped according to the requested specifications.
The die is placed in the printing press. As the press moves up, the die opens. When the press moves down, the die closes. The metal moves through the die when it is open, feeding into the die only the precise amount of material in each stroke of the press. The stamping die can
