Stamping Presses
Straight-side, H-frame and C-frame hydraulic, mechanical, servo and pneumatic machines that use tool and die sections in a low cost, high speed, high production cold-forming process to blank, punch, bend, pierce and shear flat metal sheets or coil-fed flat metal into different desired shapes. Types of applications include blanking, forming, progressive, transfer and other operations. Typical higher-volume operations electronically link the press to an automatic feeder that unrolls raw material from a coil, through a straightener and then feeds it into the die.
Stamping AHSS Got You Down? Reconsider Your Tool Design
To reduce wear and tool breakage when forming or blanking AHSS material, here are some tips on revisiting the type of tool steel used, the design of the tool itself, and whether or not adding a coating or surface finish will improve performance and provide longer tool life.

Hydraulic press technology and other advances in stamping presses, deep drawing operations, coil handling equipment, automation, press controls and monitoring are helping press rooms to deliver shorter runs of high-mix parts faster, more efficiently, and more profitably.
To meet the growing demands for smaller lots and varied applications, hydraulic press technology is faster and more reliable than ever to improve press room productivity and the bottom line.
Deliberately pull a die out of the stamping press for tool maintenance even though it is still producing perfect parts? That’s right. Don’t wait for that next emergency to shut everything down to put out fires. You can actually reduce downtime by regularly scheduling preventive tool maintenance that provides longer tool life, fewer scrapped parts and improved productivity.
The metal stamping business is still strong, the labor pool is depleted, pressrooms are busier today than yesterday, and growth should continue in the year ahead. But be prepared for the unexpected and the transition into the new economy of metalworking.
In Booth D46527, AIDA-America (Dayton, OH), a metal stamping press manufacturer, will demonstrate new and advanced industry-leading press technology with multiple presses and control systems.
TwinServo press technology and the economic production of composite parts from Schuler enable press rooms to produce resources more efficiently so they can remain marketable and competitive.
Hammer Presses by EDPS builds and installs mechanical and hydraulic power presses for all types of metal forming applications, along with a full line of press room accessories, preventative maintenance programs and 24/7 support.
