At AEW, we employ advanced progressive tooling techniques to produce a wide array of high-quality metal parts and components efficiently and cost-effectively. Progressive tooling is a specialised metal stamping process where a continuous strip of metal moves through multiple stations in a progressive press, each performing specific actions in sequence to form the final part. In this process, material is automatically fed from a spool into the press, moving through each stage with each press stroke.
Each station along the path completes a particular operation—cutting, bending, or shaping—simultaneously as the die descends, ensuring precision and consistency. With multiple steps integrated into a single die, our progressive tooling process allows for quick production runs, reducing production times and maintaining high standards of accuracy and quality.
This makes it an ideal solution for large-scale production of intricate parts. Trust AEW’s expertise in progressive tooling to meet your manufacturing requirements with speed, efficiency, and precision.
What is Progressive Tooling?
How Progressive Dies Work
In a progressive die system, the die performs multiple actions within a single press movement. As the press ascends, it feeds material into the die, which stamps and shapes the metal with each downward stroke, producing a finished part with each cycle. Progressive die stamping is ideal for high-volume production, delivering consistency and efficiency, often preferred over transfer presses.
AEW’s Progressive Press Tools
Our progressive press tools integrate automated stamping technology to enhance production speed and reduce labor costs. These tools are widely used in industries such as automotive, electronics, and household appliances, especially suited for intricate designs requiring precision and varying thickness. AEW’s advanced progressive tooling solutions ensure high-quality output and cost-effective production for large-scale component manufacturing.
