What Exactly is Progressive Die Tooling?
The advantage of progressive die tooling systems is the integration of numerous metal stamping stages into a single tool. As a result, a progressive die setup can be a much more efficient alternative to conventional stage or transfer tooling.
The process utilizes progressive dies – designed and manufactured in-house at Rotation – which are specialized tools capable of performing numerous operations within a single stroke of a punch press. These dies have multiple stations that each provide an operation (i.e. trim, pierce, form) that results in a finished part at the end of the die. This type of stamping is a very efficient way to produce large quantities of parts while ensuring consistent quality.
