Progressive Tooling Services
Progressive Tooling is the widely used by Eigen to produce a wide range of parts and components. It is a metal stamping operation in which several procedures are performed in a progressive press. The process involves multiple stages in a fixed order to transform a metal strip into desired metal parts. The material is automatically fed from a spool into the press and continues from one stamping position to the next with each press stroke. Each station along the path carries out a certain operation simultaneously as the die descends until the part is complete in progressive tooling. Different steps are integrated within a single die, which allows for progressive tooling solutions in a quick, efficient and cost-effective manner.
We have a top of the line progressive tooling die and tool shop that enables us to excel at progressive die stamping. We are able to customize progressive die designs as per customer specifications as we have the ability to manufacture in-house. We have successfully developed complex press tool profiles with 45 stages, and have the capability to design, develop and manufacture profiles of even higher complexity.
Progressive dies are used for high-volume manufacturing and are fashioned to operate at high speeds. Eigen produces high-quality, reliable and cost-effective progressive dies. We have the proficiency and technological know how to fabricate, quality test and produce robust progressive tools that tackle a broad spectrum of production challenges. The key to our success is our superb craftsmanship. We routinely work with aerospace, electrical and electronic industries, in addition to industrial engineering, automotive and ancillary units as well as consumer durable industries. Eigen recommends progressive tool stamping for tooling with insert construction to facilitate on-the-double component replacement imperative in high-wear manufacturing processes as well as for intricate designs that require coiling and varying material thicknesses in the final outcome.
One of the advantages of doing business with Eigen is that it allows us to meet customer demands quickly, whether for high or low volume parts. We always ensure perfection in our products, to match customers’ expectations exactly and on the deadline. The other reasons why Eigen is the obvious choice for progressive tooling and die design solutions are:
- Speed – Eigen provides the lowest cycle times per part for high volumes.
- Less Scrap Material – As the majority of the metal is used up in the process of progressive stamping, encompassing punching, coining, bending and several other ways of modifying metal to produce the desired end part shape, very less scrap are produced. Progressive Die Metal Stamping provides the most cost-effective material option for manufacturing parts.
- Quicker Setup – Progressive stamping utilizes lesser time than the traditional machining setup. This will result in a more cost-effective piece part.
- Longer Runs – Longer runs between metal changes and tooling adjustments allow parts to be produced in a much shorter time.
- Lower Cost per Part – All the above-mentioned factors such as high speed, quick setup, longer runs, less scrap material, and so on, contribute to an overall reduced cost for you. Progressive die stamping enables the production of robust parts in a cost-effective and speedy manner.
- Long Lasting Designs – Our tool room uses the best technology to ensure that each component produced lasts a lifetime.
- International Standards – The press tools and specialized multi-cavity molds we manufacture are compliant with the highest industry and global standards.
- Quick Modifications – As our designing and manufacturing is done in-house, we are capable of accommodating engineering changes as and when they happen, and incorporate the modifications quickly.
- State-of-the-art Equipment – We use cutting-edge Wire EDM technology to cut your parts accurately and economically.
