Stamping and bending technology is a non-cutting manufacturing process for producing complex components. In this production method, a stamping process is followed by further forming process steps. This creates high-precision stamped and bent parts with special bending geometries in an efficient production chain.
Punching and bending in one operation
On High-performance machines stamping technology and bending technology are combined into a fully automated work process, the stamping and bending technology. Stamped metal parts are pre-punched during production using a cutting tool and then formed into stamped-bent parts in subsequent steps. This means that the entire spectrum of stamped and bent parts can be covered - from simple strip and wire bending parts to more complex progressive parts.
Further processing steps in forming technology
In order to produce moulded metal parts in any desired shape, other forming techniques are used in addition to stamping and bending technology.
- Welding
Integration of welding processes for the permanent connection of several components - Soldering
Integration of contact soldering for the permanent connection of several components - Rivets
Integration of riveted joints of several components - Press-fit process (Pressing in bolts and nuts)
Joints without the effect of thermal processes - Embossing
Embossing by pressure forming - Threading
Thread moulding processes (forming and cutting) - Screws
Feeding, positioning, screwing in and tightening - Assembly manufacturing
Several machining processes combined in one overall process
Production of stamped and bent parts with progressive tools
Progressive dies are widely used in the manufacture of technical springs. Progressive dies consist of several individual stations and enable a whole series of processing steps to be carried out. Up to the finished component, the Spring steel transformed in several operations. Compared to stamping and bending technology, larger component dimensions and forming operations with higher forming forces are possible.
Production of stamped-bent parts using stamped-bending technology
In contrast to production with progressive dies, the advantage of stamping and bending technology lies in its high degree of flexibility. This opens up new possibilities: the press technology is located at the entrance to the machine, after which further machining processes can take place in the machine room. For example, cutting operations or cutting-forming operations can be combined with complex bending operations.
On-schedule, high-quality and cost-effective stamped-bent parts
Especially for the Manufacture of technical spring products stamping and bending is ideal for large-scale production. For large quantities of stamped-bent parts, this manufacturing process is a very precise and, above all, cost-efficient manufacturing method.
