Die Making<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”white” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”What are the delivery times for a stamping die?” tab_id=”1445256758911-e9cdc961-baa1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The production time for a stamping die varies according to its complexity and to the number of parts that composes it. Average completion time is usually between 20 and 40 working days after the order.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Where is the stamping die built?” tab_id=”1445257203872-56fe7ede-a04b”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

All major operations, such as engineering, roughing, grinding, drilling, milling, EDM cutting, tempering, assembly and testing are carried out within Gima S.p.A. facility. Only in some exceptional cases we rely on third parts for special tools or tempering.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”In what kind of material are the stamping dies made?” tab_id=”1445257201078-6f6e310b-32fd”][vc_column_text]
\nThe carrier plates are made of C45 steel. Dies, punches and other work surfaces are made of 1.2080 steel: a high alloy steel, suitable for tempering and with a high wear resistance.
\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How can I request a quote?” tab_id=”1446462353461-926b55d3-baf2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Please contact us by phone or via the contact form and provide a drawing of the part. For a quicker response, you can also attach the 3D model. Kindly, report if Gima S.p.A. will produce the parts or if the die will be used by third parts. Moreover, we strongly suggest to report the dimensional and geometrical tolerances and, if necessary, other auxiliary operations like galvanizing, tumbling etc.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do you make dies for production by a third parts supplier?” tab_id=”1446462355178-c6c13e57-ca10″][vc_column_text]
\nYes, we can provide only the die to the customer, which will rely on an external supplier for parts production. On request, we can still offer maintenance during its usage.
\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do you offer maintenance for a die made by another supplier?” tab_id=”1446462356738-6dd86d7f-e4ca”][vc_column_text]
\nYes, it is possible to verify functionality and to execute the necessary sharpening operations. In some cases, we could need the drawing of the part or of the die.
\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”When is cost effective to product a part through stamping instead of other processes?” tab_id=”1446462954715-7ceedda4-36d6″][vc_column_text]
\nStamping operations allow obtaining parts at a very low price, at the expense of an initial investment. So it is suggested to rely on stamping when the production quantities allow a short return of investment (ROI).
\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is the production capability in parts per minute of a progressive die?” tab_id=”1446463065676-bb612ea5-5c73″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

It depends on a high number of variables like the type of the material and the thickness of the sheet, the complexity of the part, the stroke and the speed of the stamping press, the speed of any automation system etc. For flat parts obtained with a simple shearing, it is possible to reach 120 parts\/minute. For more complex parts, that features bending or coining, the production capability is usually between 20 and 60 parts\/minute.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How can I choose what is the best technology to produce a part?” tab_id=”1446463158483-d6af1b3f-2a22″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Gima S.p.A. is able to assist the customer in the selection of the most proper production process and in the designing of parts obtained by cold forming. Thanks to FEM analysis it is also possible to verify the mechanical resistance of the parts right before the engineering of the stamping die.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Is it possible to realize a stamping die for plastic materials?” tab_id=”1446647902189-4ba5d709-f0ad”][vc_column_text]Yes it is, in some cases we made stamping dies for cutting of plastic sheets.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”If requested, is it possible to realize automation systems for supporting the stamping process?” tab_id=”1446648143467-93d9ea12-a868″][vc_column_text]Yes it is, we can build control and motion systems for executing particular or sequenced operations. Case by case, Gima S.p.A. is able to realize mechanic, electric, pneumatic or hydraulics devices.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”H3Faq”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
