Description

Slide forming is a highly sophisticated metal stamping process. Slide forming machines are specialized, integrated stamping and forming machines built from the ground up to do complex stampings well. They are suited to smaller parts (smaller than a breadbox, say) rather than larger ones. Within the range they can handle, they offer the following advantages: - high accuracy - high repeatability, especially in the face of material variation - high speed and therefore - low part price - low tooling price Slide forming is especially well suited to parts that require: - Precise shape and size - Multiple bends & tabs, especially when the tabs go in different directions - Bends greater than 90 - Tapped or threaded holes - Precise control of burr location and direction - Control of bend orientation relative to material grain
