WHAT IS PRECISION METAL STAMPING ?

The precision metal stamping is a process in which the "sheet" of metal are used to provide a final product with precision metal parts. When a metal sheet is inserted into the press, this is modeled with precision metal parts in the form and in the desired size. Only the metal sheets with a certain thickness can be inserted in the precision metal stamping machines and the maximum limit for most of the equipment used for this purpose is of ¼ inch. However, the machines can be designed for sheets with a greater thickness. Furthermore, only certain metals or special alloys can be used in this process: among these aluminum, brass, steel (hot or cold rolled), galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, zinc and titanium. Before the sheet is inserted into the machine, the customer provides the prototype of the final product.

The precision metal stamping is an ancient technique. The Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans, they had all discovered new methods for creating tools and metal weapons, exerting a force on a hot or cold metal plate. The technology has definitely evolved and now precision metal stamping process can truly be considered an art. The vast majority of metal tools and objects that each uses in their daily lives, such as forks or knives, computer parts and appliances, is the result of a sophisticated precision metal stamping. GMP’s precision metal products are high quality, reliable and competitive throughout the entire fabrication and sheet metal engineering industry. Nowadays, technology plays a big role in the metal engineering and fabrication industry; we have embraced the latest machinery and technology so as to offer competitive prices and speedy turnarounds for our clients.

Metal Punching Process

Punching Process with steel punch

The punching is the process of giving a sign, or a form, on a surface by pressure or percussion with a tool with steel punch (from the Latin "punctio", prick).

For the punching process is used an automatic machines (punch press) to cut and pierce the sheet metal (aluminum or steel) of up to 25-30mm thick to create precision metal parts. With numerical control (CNC) punch presses can be made cutting and shaping metal parts very complex, quickly and safely. Until publication of oxyfuel systems, in the early eighties, punch presses were the only practical way to cut and process sheets with thicker more than 2.3 mm.

The metal punching process conducted at GMP involves a stamping die; this is a precision tool that cuts sheet metal and forms desired shapes and profiles. Our die forming and cutting selection is made of tool steel, this is special hardened steel. We also possess dies that contain forming and cutting sections made from other hard and wear resistant materials.

Since stamping is a cold-forming process, we do not use heat in our metal punching process. We have a variety of metal punching units and this enables us to manufacture small and large materials. We develop large materials, for example; automobile parts.

Through our metal punching process, we can produce holes of different shapes and sizes. This enables us to produce different parts for various applications and to meet the unique needs of our clients. We only hire the most experienced metal punching process personnel to maintain our high-quality standards.
