Progressive Dies

Progressive Die Stamping is the process to modifying the raw material through a series of punch press cycles and the re-positioning of the raw material. You may see one or multiple processes combined to produce a finished part such as; Punching, Bending, Coining and Drawing or Tapping of the raw material. These processes; when performed in multiple operations or cycles of the press will produce a finished part through the progressive dietool, saving you’re the expense of set-up time, and reduces the overall labor and production costs.



Here at DACO Precision-Tool it’s our goal to design and build our progressive dies to exceed 100 strokes per minute to support high volume production. We can achieve this by building in sensors and other accessories to protect the die from damage. Cycle time is always kept in mind when designing and building our progressive die tooling.



Parts are produced when the feed system pushes (strip or bulk coils) of raw material into the feed port of the progressive die tool; at each stroke or cycle of the press until the finished part is produced out the other end of the tooling. The feed rate of the material is controlled by the hard stops in each die section and the sensors built into the tooling. The final die section regardless of the number of tooldie sections required to produce a finished part; performs the cut-off operation. This separates the finished part from the carrying web; allowing the finished part to falls into the parts collection bin. The carrying web and material removed during the prior stages are conveyed to the scrap shoot and dropped into the scrap collection system.

Or if you have tooling that isn’t running right, or as quickly as you need or desire; let DACO Precision-Tool troubleshoot, modify, and repair existing tooling to get it up and running to a higher production rate for you
