Press Tooling - Design - Stamping Tool Design

In General terms, metal Stamping is the process of cold working metal or a metal componet more often than not the metal takes form of strip with a constant thickness. A compressive force is generally applied through press tooling or die via a stamping press.

Dies are designed to work materials in the plastic deformation range through to permanent deformation ranges thus is dependent on the desired form or profile. Dies fall into one of two categories single press die or progressive die both are manufactured from harden tools steels which many general machinists find difficult to machine.

Progressive press tools generally work in both ranges where various deformations occur concurrently which optimizes the stamping costing through a single pressing process as opposed to multiple stamping setups.

ALNO Product Services have experience in the Design of cost effective dies and metal stamping processes these dies operate in stamping presses both in Australia and overseas, producing various components, from small electronic devices through to larger scale automotive components.

The Team at ALNO Product Services is made up of experienced toolmaking machinist and mechanical designers both with extensive experience press tooling and manufacturing industries that work materials in plastic deformation and permanent deformation ranges.

ALNO Product services do not produce -manufacture - press components.

What is Design? - ALNO Product Services - West Gosford

What is Design?

Design unofficially refers to a proposal for the construction of something in most cases the better designs are a calibration of minds where ideas are generated this process is generally at a high level intellectually or refers to the process of creating such a proposal. At the lower levels of intellectual design, the design just exists and this can be produced as simply by hitting something with a hammer or through construction. This lower level of design generally has less focus on calibration and is generally formed by a single individual in many cases fails to meet the design intent.

Designing general requires consideration of one or in most cases a combination of the following:

Forrn aesthetic appeal styling

Purpose function ergonomics

Cost Economic Factors associated in construction or manufacturing unit cost price

Process of manufacture or construction

Sociopolitical - interaction of social and political factors

Materials and Engineering – structural strength and material properties

These design choices are generally defined in a design brief by the client prior to beginning the design process. The design brief is what the design team keeps in mind throughout the process of deriving compromises of the design choices. Communication of the design compromises is generally communicated through a sketch or a 3 dimensional solid model. The latest solid modeling tools offer fast and costs effective methods of communicating a design to the team and or client.

Central Coast Machine Builders - ALNO Product Services - West Gosford

To succeed in today's purpose built machinery industry, you must create highly-innovative machines and get them to market faster than your competitors.

See how ALNO Product Services helps you produce more products faster, while creating better performing, more reliable machines that are actually less expensive to manufacture. At ALNO Product services our software systems have eliminate approximately 95% of assembly problems prior to production of manufacturing drawings as our tools consider limits, and fits and interferences before our designs go to manufacturing. By optimising the design it reduces physical prototypes and offers greater level of confidence in making design changes late in the development process.

Machining of harden materials

Machining of Harden Materials - ALNO Product Services - West Gosford

The materials world has advanced rapidly over recent years and the materials technology continues to evolve as we communicate. Therefore machinists also need to evolve with regard to the machining processes the old days of "this is how we machined it in the past" are slowly falling away and more machinists are dating there skills and knowledge base particularly with regard to hard materials.

In general hard materials fall into one of two categories such as single component materials or composite materials. The team at ALNO Product services has vast experience in machining both types of hard materials from harden tools steels such as heat treated hot / cold work tools like O1A or composite materials such Alumina Zirconia. Hard materials are highly sensitive to the machining process and in many cases the selection of machining technique is predominately that most critical factor that can determine the success or failure in achieving a target tolerances, surface finishes, shapes and or profiles.

Additional factors that are important to successful machining include work holding method, cutting tool geometry and cutting tool material, positioning of coolant with regard to working materials along with machine tool accuracy to a limited extent.

In many case the machining of harden materials comes down to know how or hard materials machining experience that the operator has. It may be the case where you have the latest machining and that latest programming techniques with computer controlled machining but if you have an unskilled operator or operator with limited hard materials machining experience then this will be seen in the resultant quality of the components machined. For the majority of machine shops these challenges become too difficult to machine harden materials. ALNO Product Services are different they have the experience that is required to machine hard materials.

Over the past 20 years ALNO Product Services have successfully machined harden materials with tolerances and geometric tolerances ranging from ± 5mm through to ± 0.01mm, some harden materials that ALNO Product Services have machined in the past have included to name a few:

Hot work Tool Steels

Cold worked Tool steels

High Speed Tool Steels

Composite Ceramics - Alumina Zirconia - Tungsten Carbite
