The manufacturing of progressive die stamped parts for the aerospace industry requires precision, reliability, consistency, high quality, and extremely skilled and experienced manufacturing teams. These parts are created to serve in the toughest conditions that can face drastic atmospheric, temperature, and pressure changes.
Because these parts are exposed to rigorous conditions, it’s critical that they provide both safety and efficiency. Learn more from Winco Stamping about how progressive die stamped parts for the aerospace industry can bring both efficiency and safety to real-world applications.
How Safety is Enhanced Through Progressive Die Stamping
Progressive die stamping services allow for the creation of high-volume metal stamped parts where multiple aspects of the stamping process are combined into one continuous manufacturing process. Safety is ensured by the following measures.
Tight tolerances are achievable through progressive die stamping, along with part repeatability, which reduces the risk of defects such as misfit, vibration, and premature failure in flight-critical assemblies.
Automation makes this type of stamping highly repeatable. As multiple services are combined into one singular operation by the progressive process, automation allows for improved worker safety by lowering the risk of accidents occurring on the facility floor.
Certified aerospace materials are used, which means OEMs and other customers will have full access to records on material sourcing and traceability. When proper materials are used, such as aluminum and stainless steel, parts can withstand the tough conditions they will be exposed to.
Where Manufacturing Meets Efficiency
If safety is the top priority, right underneath that should be manufacturing efficiency. When parts are needed with a fast turnaround time, high-quality progressive die stampings can be manufactured quickly and efficiently.
Progressive die stamping services allow for multiple operations to be performed at once, paving the path for hundreds of thousands of parts to be manufactured in a single production run.
In medium- to high-volume runs, the price per part begins to drop, while maintaining the same high quality and tolerances that aerospace parts need.
Strip layout optimization and precise forming equate to minimal scrap, another cost-saving metric. As long as they are properly maintained through regular maintenance, dies can be consistently used over and over again.
Manufacturing Aspects That Support Both Safety and Efficiency
When engineering teams incorporate design for manufacturing into the progressive dies, meaning simulation of material flow, stationing, radii, and relief, this helps prevent potential defects such as cracks, wrinkles, and springback that could impact dimensional integrity.
In-process inspections and other down-the-line operations, such as part validation, maintain both safety and efficiency.
