Parts

Progressive and compound die work at volume — the line where almost all the risk sits in the tooling, and almost all the disputes start with who owns it.

What we buy

Processes we buy

  • Progressive dieMulti-station strip work for high-volume components.
  • Compound dieSingle-station blank-and-pierce where volume does not justify progressive.
  • Deep drawingDrawn shells and enclosures in steel, stainless and aluminium.
  • Fine blankingClean full-thickness cut edges where a secondary operation is unacceptable.
  • Secondary operationsTapping, welding, riveting and insert fitting in line.
  • FinishingPlating, powder coat, passivation and e-coat.
Acceptance criteria

What we fix before tooling is cut

These goods are bought to a drawing, a grade and a tolerance. That only works if the drawing is controlled, the features that actually matter are named, and the supplier can measure them repeatably.

MaterialGrade, temper and coating, with the coil source and mill certificate.
Thickness toleranceIncoming coil tolerance, since it drives everything downstream.
Tooling designDie layout reviewed and approved before steel is cut, not after.
Tooling ownershipWho funds it, who owns it, where it is stored, and how it is released.
Tool life and maintenanceExpected strokes, maintenance schedule and who pays for refurbishment.
Burr and edgeBurr height limit and edge condition, stated per feature.
PPAP-style sign-offFirst article, dimensional report and capability study before bulk.

Every criterion above appears in the inspection report as a pass or a fail, with the measured value beside it and the gauge named. A first article is signed off before any bulk is produced.

Risk & compliance

What we screen before a sample is quoted

Tooling ownership

This is the defining commercial risk of the category. A die you paid for and cannot remove makes every future negotiation one-sided. Ownership, storage and release terms are written into the agreement before the first payment.

Tool wear drift

Parts drift as the die wears, and the drift is gradual enough to pass inspection until it doesn’t. Maintenance intervals are agreed and audited.

Coil substitution

A cheaper coil of nominally the same grade changes springback and formability. Certificates are traced to the coil actually run.

Press guarding

Mechanical presses are the most dangerous machines in this supply chain. Guarding and interlocks are checked on site, every visit.

Stamping capability follows the auto industry. The strongest units sit in the auto corridors, and they price and behave accordingly.
