The Principle Uses Of Precision Stamping

By Katie Nixon





Stamping or pressing describes the processes of metalworking that are used to produce a certain shape or form from a metal sheet. Techniques such as punching, embossing or using a machine press are common practices used in metalwork. These precision stamping techniques can be used across a wide range of different industries, depending on the unique qualities of the metal and the end purpose the component is required for. Here are just a few of the principle uses for metal presswork:



The electronics industry is a popular customer when it comes to metal pressing. Here the processes will be used to manufacture electronic components such as circuit boards. Sometimes Beryllium copper will be used because of its electrical conduction properties.



The automotive industry is another example of where precision stampings are widely used. When manufacturing cars, vans and other vehicles there are a wide number of small and complex parts required and metal stamping can be used to create many of these items. For example, pressing techniques may be harnessed to create safety related devices, engine and transmission components and lighting equipment for both inside and outside the vehicle. Each of these parts will need to adhere to stringent quality standards for the obvious reason of ensuring safe motoring.



Another industry in which precision stamped metal parts are used in the medical sector. Medical equipment and machinery is of course extremely complex and therefore any component parts produced must adhere to strict regulations in terms of size and specification in order to ensure this machinery and equipment can function effectively.



In the medical industry, metal pressing is used to manufacture component parts for implantable devices, surgical equipment and other micro components. Again, any stamped components produced for customers in the medical sector will need to meet strict standards.



There are many other industries where precision stampings are used including telecoms, aerospace, agriculture and marine. More information on the types of products can be found by speaking with a specialist metal pressing company or searching online.
