A product manufactured using the
fourslide process, named for the
four tool slides that perform
stamping and forming operations,
offers several benefits over the
traditional power press when it
comes to making stamped metal
products.
Among Its Advantages: the
cost-effective
manufacturing of complicated
forms, reduced production
expenses, speedier
product delivery and wide
latitude to modify forms without
a steep monetary penalty.
Keep Project Expenses Down:
When seeking to keep your
project costs down, obtaining
parts using the fourslide
process makes sense. For
example, tooling for power
presses can cost tens of
thousands of dollars, while
fourslide tooling typically runs
just a fraction of that. Such
savings extend to material
costs, as well. Since the
fourslide process typically
starts with material the width
of the finished part, less
material is wasted.
Create More Complex Forms:
The fourslide process can
execute multiple bends, bends
beyond 90 degrees, twists,
cylindrical forms, and tapped
and threaded holes before the
part is ultimately ejected. This
capability yields
precision metal stampings,
flat
springs,
wire
forms, contacts and other
complex forms for a wide range
of applications.
Reduced Lead Time: The
simplicity in machining
fourslide tools, versus the
time-consuming complexity of
power press tools, translates
into a significant reduction of
lead times approaching 50% or
more.
By the same token, the
straightforward motion of
fourslide tools simplifies
laborious after production
adjustment often encountered
with power press tools, further
speeding the initial delivery of
product.
We can
accommodate long or short runs
and we’ll maintain your tooling
at no additional cost to you.
