Custom Battery Contacts, Flat Springs, Fourslide Multi-Slides Stamping » Fourslide Multi-Slides Stamping

Slide Forming Machinery is accurate, repeatable and powerful. Fourslide Stamping, Multislide Stamping and Vertislide Stamping often prove economical for the production of intricate springs, stamping and wire forms. By eliminating the carrying strip and utilizing material efficiently, tooling costs can be reduced.

Fourslide stamping, a process that integrates stamping and forming operations, creates stamped metal parts and wire forms from strips and wire consisting of steel, copper, aluminum, bronze and many other metals. From these stock metal strips, manufacturers create small, intricate parts, which may require bends greater than 90°. During slide forming, sliding tools glide into the metal blank from four directions at right angles to one another, bending the metal around a vertical mandrel. The slide forming area is equipped with timed mechanisms called cams, which regulate slide movement. These additional movements allow fourslide to produce complex parts with multiple bends and twists. Highly versatile and precise fourslide metal stamping machines can perform a number of operations before ejecting the part, sometimes completely producing a part in one four-slide stamping operation.

Fourslide stamping tools can cost substantially less than power press tools and produces accurate repeatable parts. Complex forming operations that add cost to the progressive tooling can be formed easily on a Fourslide.

Multislide stamping is basically the same as the Fourslide, but with up to 8 slides for extra forming motions. A Multislide Stamping is also a bit stronger than a Fourslide to accommodate thicker parts.

Vertislide is like Fourslide or Multislide Stamping with the sides and tooling in a vertical position
