Custom Stamped Metal Parts for Industrial Applications

A variety of industries use metal stamping to create parts and components. Some of these industries include:

Aerospace

Aerospace applications require highly specialized parts with consistent repeatability and quality. The precision offered by metal stamping makes it an ideal solution for producing a wide range of aerospace components, such as the following:

  • Brackets
  • Fasteners
  • Flexible couplings
  • Subcomponents
  • Torsion springs

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)

OEMs tend to produce machinery and parts in high volumes. Metal stamping provides a fast, cost-effective method for high-volume production.

Oil & Gas

The oil and gas sector uses durable parts for connectors, seals, and a range of other applications. Metal stamping offers the precision and quality necessary to support safe operation in this demanding industry. Common metal stamped components that Manor Tool creates for the oil and gas sector include:

  • Fuel injectors and pressure regulators
  • Rotary valves
  • Universal joints (U-joints)
  • Valve actuator parts and valve seals (subcomponents and shut-off handles)

Medical

There is no room for error in medical devices and other medical applications. As such, the medical sector relies on metal stamping parts to produce consistent, high-quality components and tools. Our healthcare offerings include the following:

  • Biopsy trays
  • Dental office table, chair, and light components
  • Instrumentation connector parts
  • Medical gas fittings and scissors
  • Surgical forceps and retractors
  • Thermometers (thermostat bezels)

Fluid Power

Fluid power applications require a range of high-quality washers, flanges, and other parts that can withstand the pressure ranges and corrosiveness of the application’s environment. Metal stamping offers an ideal solution for fabricating these essential components. Common parts for the fluid power industry that we create with metal stamping are:

  • Hydraulic fittings, hose fittings, and valves
  • Mounting flanges
  • Quick connectors
  • Rotary joints

Construction

Metal stamping is a cost-effective, reliable choice for construction component manufacturing. The process is capable of creating precise bends and shapes with the capacity for high-volume production. The metal stamping technique is also compatible with several strong, durable, and malleable metals that are well-suited to manufacturing construction tool parts. At Manor Tool, we can create components for:

  • Fasteners and staplers
  • Hand, power, and pneumatic tools
  • Nail guns

 

Types of Metal Stamping

As a stamping parts manufacturer, Manor Tool specializes in two methods of metal stamping: progressive die stamping and deep drawn stamping.

  • Progressive Die Stamping

    Progressive die stamping utilizes multiple workstations, each performing a different action to incrementally create a metal component. This fast, cost-efficient process moves the metal part from station to station on its stock strip, enabling great control over the positioning of a part for optimal quality control. We use progressive die stamping presses ranging in capacity from 22 to 400 tons to achieve tight tolerances of ±0.0005 inches.

  • Deep Drawn Stamping

    Deep drawn stamping is highly precise. The stamping press draws a metal sheet radially into the die cavity, shaping the material into a hollow three-dimensional form — often cylindrical — without resulting in any joints or seams. Offering repeatable accuracy, the deep drawn process also results in stronger metals because of the strain hardening that occurs during production. Our stamping presses can achieve large as well as very deep stamped components using this process.

Metal Stamping FAQs

What are the advantages of metal stamping?

Metal stamping is:

  • Fast
  • Accurate
  • Consistent
  • Versatile
  • Low-waste
  • Cost-effective, especially for high-volume production runs

How do I determine the best materials to use when metal stamping products?

The specific characteristics of a material and its ability to be stamped or machined successfully will greatly influence material selection. Cost and aesthetics may also influence ideal material choice. Make sure the material you choose fits the function and performance specifications of your application.

For example, manufacturing metal baskets for office use likely does not require high-performance steel or even stainless steel. On the other hand, manufacturing counters for industrial kitchens does require high-quality, food-grade stainless steel.

The most common types of metal stamping materials include:

  • Ferrous metals: steel, stainless steel, carbon steel
  • Nonferrous metals: aluminum, brass, bronze, zinc
  • Custom alloys: beryllium copper, beryllium nickel
  • Precious metals: gold, silver, platinum

What is the production volume of Manor Tool’s presses?

At Manor Tool, our 30-press facility can handle a thousand to over a million parts with ease. We use our own tooling services or your existing dies to produce results exactly to your specifications.

What are the limitations of metal stamping?

Metal stamping is a highly effective, versatile process. However, no single process can accomplish everything. Metal stamping’s limitations include:

  • Complex designs. CNC machining and related production techniques may be a better choice to produce goods with particularly complex geometries.
  • Thick materials. Metal stamping cannot work with the exceptionally thick metals that forming techniques like metal forging can.
  • Order size versus cost. The process tends to be more cost-effective for higher-volume orders because of the initial cost you pay for tooling.
  • Direction of metal grain. The metal stamping process can impact a metal’s grain direction, negatively affecting its mechanical properties.

What types of finishes can Manor Tool apply to metal stampings?

Our team can produce metal-stamped products with multiple finishing options, such as:

  • Enameling. Enameling adds a hard surface finish that holds up well against chipping.
  • Painting. In addition to adding color, paint also provides a layer of surface protection on metal stamped components.
  • Plating. This process results in an aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional barrier against corrosion on a part’s surface.
  • Powder coating. Powder coating applies a durable dry powder that achieves a decorative yet protective finish.

What types of files do you accept for metal stamping projects?

We work with many different file types to complete custom sheet metal stamping projects. Options include:

  • AutoCAD (DWG)
  • DXF
  • IGES
  • JPEG/JPG
  • MasterCam (MC10 and up)
  • PDF
  • STEP
  • TIFF
  • Unigraphics (PRT)
