Progressive Stamping Die

ABIS Mold – Progressive Stamping Die

Custom progressive die tooling in SKD11 steel with 300K–1M shot life, built for automotive, electronics, and appliance metal stamping production. OEM factory in Shenzhen since 1996.

 

This collection covers ABIS Mold's range of progressive stamping dies—multi-station tooling designed for continuous metal forming operations such as blanking, bending, flanging, drawing, and coining. Dies in this category process workpiece materials including SAE 1008 steel, CRS (cold-rolled steel), copper, and stainless steel, and are manufactured with SKD11 mold steel for extended service life. Whether you need a copper metal progressive stamping press tool for electrical connectors or a precision automotive metal stamping die for high-volume vehicle components, each die is engineered to your drawing specifications and built to DME or HASCO standards. ABIS also offers single stamping dies for lower-complexity parts.

Custom Progressive Stamping Die Manufacturing Capabilities

ABIS Mold designs and builds progressive stamping dies that perform multiple forming operations—blanking, bending, flanging, embossing, coining, drawing, stretching, ironing, reducing, curling, and hemming—in a single press cycle. Each die uses SKD11 mold steel for the working components, delivering a rated service life of 300,000 to 1,000,000 shots depending on the workpiece material and forming complexity. For context, the Copper Metal Progressive Stamping Press Tool (model ABIS20-175) processes copper and stainless steel workpieces through a multi-station progressive layout, while the Precision Progressive Stamping Die uses SAE 1008 steel with SKD11 tooling for automotive and industrial parts exported to the USA.

 

All dies conform to the GB/T 8845-2006 standard. Punch-to-stripper fits are held to H7/K6, guide bush to top plate at H7/p6, and guide pillar to bottom plate at H7/p6. These clearance grades reduce misalignment during high-speed stamping and contribute directly to part consistency across long production runs. Stripping force is calibrated at 10%–20% of cutting force to prevent strip lifting without damaging the workpiece.

Die Steel Selection and Surface Treatment for Progressive Dies

 

Material selection determines both die life and part quality. ABIS stocks cavity and core steels including H13, S-7, S136, SS420, NAK80, and P20, chosen based on workpiece hardness and production volume. For stamping dies processing harder metals like stainless steel, H13 and S136 provide the wear resistance needed above 500,000 cycles. For copper and lower-carbon steels such as SAE 1008, NAK80 or P20 offers a cost-effective balance between machinability and durability.

 

Steel treatment options include heat treatment, nitriding, and chrome plating. Surface finishes range from SPI A-grade mirror polish to textured finishes and VDI EDM textures. These treatments extend die life, reduce friction during forming, and improve the surface quality of stamped parts—a critical consideration for visible components in household appliances and automotive interiors.

Precision Equipment Behind Every Progressive Die

 

Die accuracy depends on the machines that cut, erode, and grind each component. ABIS operates CNC machining centers from DMG (Germany) and YCM-FP66A (Taiwan), wire EDM equipment from Sodick AQ327L (Japan), sinker EDM from Sodick AQ35L (Japan) and Charmilles-35P (Switzerland), and digital display grinding machines from SUHRE (Taiwan). Dimensional verification is performed on a DABAO 3D coordinate measuring machine, and die tryout runs on Haitian injection molding machines—ensuring each progressive die meets drawing tolerances before shipment.

 

Design files are accepted in CAD, UG/NX, Pro/E (Creo), and SolidWorks formats. If you supply 2D drawings only, ABIS engineers convert them to 3D models for strip layout simulation before steel cutting begins.

 

OEM Progressive Die Tooling: From Drawing to Delivery

 

For sourcing managers evaluating a new progressive die supplier, the critical question is whether the factory can translate your CAD file into a production-ready die that stamps parts within tolerance on your press. ABIS handles the full workflow: strip layout design, die structure engineering, steel procurement, CNC machining, wire EDM, assembly, tryout, and T1 sample submission. The typical project timeline runs 25 to 35 days from deposit confirmation to shipment-ready status, based on die complexity.

 

Dies are built to DME or HASCO standards and mounted on LKM, DME, HASCO, or FUTABA mold bases—matching the base systems most commonly used in European, American, and Japanese stamping presses. This means your die arrives ready to install without base-plate modifications.

 

Sampling, Payment, and Shipping Terms

 

ABIS offers a staged payment structure that ties cost to milestones: 40% deposit to begin steel procurement and machining, 30% upon T1 sample approval, and 30% before shipment. For orders above USD 5,000, a simplified 50/50 split (deposit and balance before shipping) is available. L/C at sight is also accepted for buyers who require bank-backed payment security.

 

Finished dies are packed in free-fumigation three-plywood cases for export. Shipping runs 25–35 days by sea from Shenzhen port or 3–7 days by air via DHL, FedEx, UPS, or TNT. Current export markets include the USA, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, the Middle East, India, and Spain.

 

Custom Die Design Support for Product Engineers

 

If your stamped part requires multi-step forming—such as a combined blanking, bending, and drawing operation—ABIS engineers evaluate your part geometry to determine the optimal number of die stations, strip width, pitch, and material utilization. The engineering team uses the same design software packages you work with (SolidWorks, UG/NX, Pro/E, AutoCAD), which simplifies file exchange and revision cycles. Die tryout is performed in-house, and dimensional reports with sampling parameters are included with every T1 shipment.

 

Quality Assurance and Industry Standards

 

All progressive stamping dies produced by ABIS Mold conform to the GB/T 8845-2006 Chinese national standard for stamping die design and manufacturing. Mold bases and components are sourced from DME and HASCO standard systems, which provides traceability and compatibility with global replacement-part supply chains. Dimensional inspection is carried out on a 3D coordinate measuring machine, and each die ships with a dimension report and sampling parameter sheet so your QA team can verify part conformance upon arrival.

 

ABIS Mold operates from a 12,000-square-meter factory in the Ying-Ke-Li Industrial Area, Longgang District, Shenzhen—a facility the company has run since its founding in 1996. Buyers can arrange factory audits or virtual tours via the company's VR walkthrough.

 

Progressive Stamping Die FAQ for Buyers

 

Q: What materials does ABIS Mold use for progressive stamping dies?

A: ABIS builds progressive dies with SKD11 mold steel for die working components. Cavity and core steels include H13, S-7, S136, NAK80, and P20, selected based on workpiece hardness and target die life. Workpiece materials processed include SAE 1008 steel, CRS, copper, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy.

Q: What is the typical lead time for a custom progressive stamping die?

A: Lead time is 25 to 35 days from deposit confirmation, depending on die complexity and station count. Sea freight from Shenzhen port takes 25–35 days; air express via DHL, FedEx, UPS, or TNT takes 3–7 days.

Q: What mold life can I expect from an ABIS progressive die?

A: Dies are rated for 300,000 to 1,000,000 shots. Actual life depends on die steel selection, workpiece material, and forming complexity. SKD11 with heat treatment and chrome plating delivers the upper end of that range when stamping lower-hardness metals like SAE 1008 steel or copper.

Q: What are the payment terms for ordering progressive stamping dies?

A: Standard terms are 40% deposit, 30% on T1 sample approval, and 30% before shipment (T/T). For orders above USD 5,000, a 50/50 deposit-and-balance structure applies. Irrevocable 100% L/C at sight is also accepted.

Q: Does ABIS Mold support OEM and custom progressive die tooling?

A: Yes. ABIS provides end-to-end OEM die services: strip layout design, die engineering, CNC machining, wire EDM, assembly, in-house tryout, and T1 sample delivery. Design files are accepted in CAD, UG/NX, Pro/E, and SolidWorks. Dies are built to DME or HASCO standards on LKM, DME, HASCO, or FUTABA mold bases.

Q: Which industries do ABIS progressive stamping dies serve?

A: ABIS progressive dies produce parts for automotive, electronics, household appliance, industrial equipment, aerospace, and consumer product applications. The factory currently exports to the USA, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, the Middle East, India, and Spain.
