Progressive die metal stamping uses a continuous feed of material that passes through multiple stations to form complete parts. In this video, our Bliss 400-ton press is set up with a compact servo feed line. A 12″ coil of steel is loaded onto the arbor and fed through the line at a constant speed into the stamping press, where a 5-station progressive die forms the components.

As the material moves through each station, the die performs incremental shaping operations. You can see the material gradually change form with each press movement until the finished part is released down a chute at the end of the line.

Our advanced stamping presses range from 22 to 400 tons, enabling tolerances as tight as ±0.0005″ for parts like those shown in the video. In addition to steel, we work with a variety of materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, brass, and copper.

After stamping, the parts are inspected before shipment. For this project, we produced 50,000 components and shipped them to Chicago, IL, for final assembly.
