Compound tools stamp precise, thin materials in a complex world
- By Kate Bachman

- Bending and Forming
- Article
Phoenix Specialty stamps washers, shims, seals, gaskets, and spacers--round, flat parts, 6 inches in diameter and smaller. Nothing could be simpler to stamp, right? However, complicating the stamping is that most of the company’s clients are in industries that require extreme precision, flatness, and concentricity, in small quantities out of very thin, foil-like metal. In addition, the company services 25 new clients every month, builds10 new tools every day and has 50 tool setups and job completions daily. One way that the stamping manufacturer meets the demand for multiple short-run jobs a day making very precise flat and circular parts is by using compound die sets with interchangeable tooling. The company re-engineered its master die set, which it calls next-generation tooling, to substantially simplify changeover.
