The Metal Stamping Process.
Punching, forming, and drawing
Precision-stamped parts are produced from flat sheet material. Stamping is a shearing process where the material is sheared between the punch and die where the material fractures along the die perimeter.
More complex shapes include bends to form parts into a 3-dimensional profile of uniform thickness generally done with a set of tools for each feature.
Punching, forming, and drawing are also used to create complex parts of various shapes and thicknesses. Normally done in a Multistage Progression Tool.

Donlouco Manages Custom Tooling For Customer Parts.
Custom metal stamping tooling
Custom tooling for customer-specific parts.
Donlouco can produce parts from single die sets to complex progress tool die sets for higher volume.
Tools include drawing and forming operations to increase flexibility for intricate part design while maintaining a low price point on individual parts.
Optimised stamping processes for high-volume production runs of custom components.
Advantages Of Progressive Die Stamping.
Volume and Speed
The Progressive die stamping process operates by having a continuous feed of material being moved through the stamping machine. Higher volumes of parts can be produced at quicker speeds than other metal stamping methods.
Efficient use of Material
With the various methods for manipulating your chosen metal (such as coining, bending, and punching), a large portion of the material is used, this is also as a result of the most optimal tool design, therefore an effective use of material.
High Repeatability
By using hard tooling, high volume runs, and high-quality parts are produced with little or no damage to the dies.
Quality Assurance
Quality is assured through routine checks throughout the manufacturing process. Parts and materials are accompanied by full traceability reports. Donlouco is EN 1090 and ISO 9001 approved for the CE Stamping of parts.
Progressive Die Stamping Results in an Overall Lower Cost Per Part
Due to the combination of all these aspects mentioned above, efficiency can be achieved in the overall manufacturing process of the part.

Plating Options to Suit International Standards
Most parts will require some form of finish to protect them from the environment or to improve the appearance or performance of the part in service. But the type of finish best suited to the part depends on what the part is made from.
We have the capability to provide finished parts with a number of different plating options to meet any of the internationally recognised plating standards all of which can be measured and checked by batch.
Zinc Plating
Parts can be zinc plated to EN ISO 2081, ASTM B633 standards, and other standards specific to customer requirements. This is normally done on steel parts and involves dipping the parts into a bath of molten zinc so that the external surfaces get covered in zinc.
There is normal dipping for general parts but threaded items are spin dipped which involves putting the dipped parts into a spinning basket immediately after dipping to centrifugally remove excess material from the surface so that the threaded sections are clean and smooth. In order for the process to be 100% successful the part need to be completely clean before dipping.
Other Secondary Processes For Stamped Parts
Donloucos has the capability to provide finished parts with a number of different plating options to meet any of the internationally recognised plating standards. Some common secondary processes include:
Heat treating, Painting, Deburring, Secondary tooling to trim, Passivation, Electropolishing, Sterilisation, Forming and laser welding.
