Precision Stampings: A Detailed Guide to Successful Metal Stampings

Precision Stampings: A Detailed Guide to Successful Metal Stampings Precision stampings are recognized as a complex set of metalworking processes that involve the fabrication of small, highly detailed parts. These components have tight tolerances, demanding features such as slots with a minimum width of 0.25 millimeters and an accuracy of +/- 0.05mm. In fact, some manufacturers require even tighter specifications than this! Precision stampings also demand tight surface finishes (measured in microinches), small radius end points, and protruding tabs or tails on the part that must be able to support its own weight while being handled by automated tools. This blog post will explain why precision stampings are becoming more…
