Overview
Our Custom CNC Precision Machining Stamping Die and Progressive Punching Mold Tooling are engineered specifically for high-volume production of car instrument-panel connect brackets and related fastening hardware. Combining multi-station progressive die design with CNC-machined tooling components and precision EDM finishes, our molds deliver tight tolerances, consistent strip feeding, and repeatable part quality. Designed for integration with progressive stamping lines, the tooling supports secondary forming (bending, coining, flaring), in-die tapping or clinching, and is optimized for long tool life in automotive production environments.

Key Benefits
- High-precision progressive dies for consistent bracket geometry and fast line speeds.
- Integrated secondary operations (bend, coin, clinch, in-die tapping) reduce post-process time.
- Long tool life with hardened inserts and optimized wear zones for low total cost of ownership.
- Turnkey service from CAD/DFM through tryout, PPAP, and serial supply readiness.
Production Process
- Design & DFM — CAD/CAE evaluation with strip layout, blanking sequence, and coil utilization analysis.
- CNC Machining & EDM — High-accuracy cavitation/matrix machining, mirror EDM for punch faces and die cavities.
- Heat Treatment & Surface Hardening — Nitriding, quench & temper to achieve targeted die hardness and wear resistance.
- Assembly & Tryout — Bench assembly, press tryout with sample runs, die adjustment and cycle optimization.
- Validation & PPAP — First Article Inspection (FAI), capability studies, dimensional reports and PPAP documentation.
- Production Support — Spare parts kit, in-field maintenance training, and die refurbishing services.
Surface Treatment Options
- Zn / Ni Electroplating — Corrosion protection and lubricity for long tool life.
- Black Oxide / Phosphate — Improved adhesion for lubricants and anti-rust properties.
- Nitriding — Hardened surface for improved wear resistance on punch & die faces.
- PVD Coatings (TiN, CrN) — Low friction and extended life for high-wear areas.
Quality Assurance
We enforce stringent QA protocols for automotive tooling:
- Material certification and incoming steel inspection.
- Dimensional verification using CMM, optical projectors and laser scanners.
- Finite Element & Moldflow analysis for strip stresses and springback prediction.
- Process control with SPC during tryout and production runs.
- Complete PPAP package including FAI, control plans, and traceability logs.
