Progressive Dies / Tooling
Progressive Die Stamping is the process to modifying the raw material through a series of punch press cycles and the re-positioning of the raw material. You may see one or multiple processes combined to produce a finished part such as; Punching, Bending, Coining and Drawing or Tapping of the raw material. These processes; when performed in multiple operations or cycles of the press will produce a finished part through the progressive die/tool, saving you’re the expense of set-up time, and reduces the overall labor and production costs.
Here at DACO Precision-Tool it’s our goal to design and build our progressive dies to exceed 100 strokes per minute to support high volume production.
Compound Dies / Tooling
Compound Die Stamping is the process where the die separates or blanks the part from a steel strip in one stroke. A Compound Die will perform multiple cuts or punches in one stroke, as compared to multiple strokes. This is a very cost effective method for stamping medium to high volume parts while keeping labor and die costs down. Compound Dies are often used to stamp simpler flat parts such as washers.
Here at DACO Precision-Tool it’s our goal to design and build our Compound Dies to exceed 100 strokes per minute to support high volume production. We can achieve this by building in sensors and other accessories to protect the die from damage. Cycle time is always kept in mind when designing and building our Compound
Pierce & Cut Dies / Tooling
Pierce & Cut Die Stamping is a very cost-effective way to quickly stamp flat, “rectangular” shaped parts such as shims, spacers, and plates. A benefit of Pierce & Cut Die Stamping is that raw material is better utilized reducing the total amount of scrap material produced over other stamping methods.
Here at DACO Precision-Tool it’s our goal to design and build our Pierce & Cut Dies to exceed 100 strokes per minute to support high volume production. We can achieve this by building in sensors and other accessories to protect the die from damage. Cycle time is always kept in mind when designing and building our Pierce & Cut tooling. We can build the die to stamp the part at the accuracy you need.
Bend & Form Dies / Tooling
Bend & Form Dies are used to take a flat blank or part and form or bend it into a desired shape. The dies can be set up for one or more operations in single press cycle. Usually lower volume parts will be formed using a Bend & Form Die. High-volume production is best suited for a Progressive Die.
Here at DACO Precision-Tool it’s our goal to design and build our Bend & Form Dies to make secondary forming as quick and easy as possible. We can achieve this by building in sensors and other accessories to protect the die from damage. Knowing that these parts will be run by an operator, we design the die to make inserting and removing the piece easy as possible to improve production rates.
Design, Build & Repair of Dies / Tooling
DACO Precision-Tool can make tools and dies for many metal and non-metal fabrication processes. Whether it is something as simple as punching out a washer, or part that is very complex; we can build a die that will get the job done. We can build a die that will fit your exact application. Common die types include:
- Progressive dies for high-production, complex parts that may require multiple bends, drawing, or other processes.
- Compound dies for a high-accuracy, time and cost effective way to stamp flat simple parts such as washers.
- Pierce & Cut Dies for a very cost-effective way to quickly stamp flat, “rectangular” shaped parts such as shims, spacers, and plates. This die type reduces scrap
