Progressive Die Stamping

Multi-station automated dies execute sequential blanking, piercing, coining, and complex bending within a continuous strip. Engineered for high-volume programs ranging from 50,000 to tens of millions of units with low part-to-part variance.

Precision Deep Drawing

Transforms circular flat metal blanks into hollow symmetrical cylinders, cans, and stepped enclosures. Radial drawing flow control eliminates edge tearing, wrinkling, and wall thinning in stainless steel and aluminum cases.

Electrical Steel Laminations

Specialized high-speed punching presses handle non-grain-oriented silicon steel (CRNGO). Produces stator and rotor interlocks with burr heights under 0.01 mm, optimizing magnetic flux and reducing eddy current losses in EV traction motors.

Strategic Ecosystem

Why Global Tier-1 OEMs Source Stamping in China (Shenzhen Hub)

Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area provide tooling speed, deep raw material supply chains, and vertical finishing infrastructure that shorten lead times.

Tool & Die Fabrication Ecosystem

Access to world-class carbide tooling materials (SKD11, DC53, Tungsten Carbide), high-speed wire EDM (Sodick/AgieCharmilles), and CNC optical profile grinding enables tool builds in 15–25 days versus 8–12 weeks in western markets.

Vertical In-House Integration

From progressive stamping to precision secondary operations (CNC post-machining, automated tapping, laser welding, and cleaning), all processes run under controlled facilities, reducing logistical handoffs and transit wear.

Comprehensive Metallurgy Assurance

Direct supply agreements with primary steel and non-ferrous mills guarantee full lot traceability, material heat certificates (EN 10204 3.1), strict RoHS/REACH chemical compliance, and certified mechanical properties.

Procurement Risk Management

Global Procurement Architecture: What Sourcing Directors Demand

Overseas procurement teams require transparent quality controls, repeatable die validation, and end-to-end documentation from initial quotation to container unloading.

Pre-Production DFM & Simulation

Before cutting tool steel, engineers conduct FASTFORM and AutoForm stamping simulations to analyze thinning strain, springback tendencies, and strip layout efficiency. Identifies and resolves manufacturing issues early.

Die Ownership & Maintenance Warranty

All progressive dies remain the exclusive intellectual property of the client. Stamping dies are maintained, polished, sharpened, and replaced under a comprehensive lifetime tooling guarantee at zero extra cost.

Rigid IP Protection & Direct Access

Direct factory relationships backed by enforceable bilateral non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) ensure proprietary 3D CAD files, trade secrets, and manufacturing configurations remain confidential.

Technical Clarifications

Frequently Asked Questions: OEM Metal Stamping & Supply Chain

Direct technical answers addressing tooling lead times, dimensional tolerances, and overseas shipping logistics.

What specific dimensional tolerances can Sunmy Hardware hold on custom metal stampings?
On high-precision progressive dies using carbide inserts and punch guides, we hold critical hole center-to-center distances and pierced diameters within ±0.005 mm (0.0002 in). Formed angles and bend radii are held within ±0.25° to ±0.5°, with overall cut-profile envelopes typically held at ±0.010 mm to ±0.025 mm depending on sheet material thickness, temper hardness, and tensile yield properties.
Which manufacturing operations are handled in-house versus specialized partner nodes?
Tool design, progressive die fabrication, high-speed stamping, CNC post-machining, precision deburring, and final dimensional validation (using CMM, vision measuring systems, and optical comparators) are performed in our Shenzhen facilities. Surface treatments such as reel-to-reel continuous plating, electro-polishing, and e-coating run through audited, environmental-compliant partner facilities under direct Sunmy engineer oversight.
What is the average tooling lead time from drawing sign-off to First Article Inspection (FAI)?
Single-stage prototype tooling typically delivers qualified samples in 7 to 12 working days. High-speed multi-stage progressive stamping dies generally require 18 to 28 calendar days for full assembly, tool tryouts (T0/T1), and comprehensive 100% full-dimension FAI report generation.
How does the engineering team counteract material springback and bend distortion?
We use finite element sheet metal forming software (AutoForm) to calculate material springback based on exact alloy chemistry and rolling direction grain alignment. Compensation is incorporated directly into die geometries using over-bending punches, coining reliefs, and bottom-dead-center calibration blocks.
What QA documentation accompanies stamped part export shipments?
Shipments include full EN 10204 3.1 chemical and mechanical material mill test reports, First Article Inspection (FAI) reports with bubble drawings, in-process statistical process control (SPC) data with Cp/Cpk metrics, RoHS/REACH declarations, and coating salt-spray or plating thickness test certs.
