Home > Deep Drawn Metal Stampings

Trans-Matic deep drawn metal stampings are world class. We utilize our capabilities to produce deep drawn metal stampings to serve the automotive industry in braking, oxygen sensor, fuel delivery, air bag, bayonet socket, and sensor markets. Our non-automotive deep drawn metal stampings capabilities serve the lock hardware, compressor, appliance, fire prevention, pharmaceutical, HVAC, and plumbing markets.

Producing deep drawn metal stampings is a complex process in which flat, sheet steel is formed into simple or more complex components. From a coil of flat strip metal, the material to be drawn is placed over a shaped die and pressed, in stages, with a punch. A circle or disc of sheet metal is first blanked from the coiled stock as the first station in the die. Then the flat blank is cupped around the nose of a punch and pressed into a die to form a cup. During the drawing process, the metal is formed under the pressure of the stamping action of the press. Forces of tension (in the steel wall) and compression (in the shell flange) are induced as the steel is stretched by the “nose” of the punch into the die. These forces within the deep drawn metal stampings tend to thin the shell wall and thicken the shell flange. Depending on the length to diameter ratio, several draws may be required to create the basic shape of deep drawn metal stampings. In the drawing process several stepped diameters may also be created in the part. A wide variety of in die stations can be developed to provide additional features. These additional features may include: coining, bottom piercing, multiple side piercing, extruding, embossing, marking, burnishing, ironing, chamfering, flange forming, shaped flange trimming, beading, reverse drawing, and rib forming.

Trans-Matic is committed to providing our customers with deep drawn metal stampings that exceed their expectations. We strive to continually improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our quality management system. We are committed to following our policies, procedures, and our customers’ specifications to achieve business performance improvements and to create the highest quality deep drawn metal stampings. We achieve our quality policy commitments through setting and attaining our Quality Objectives by monitoring parts per million calculations, scrap, sorting costs, and customer concerns to avoid negative trends in quality, continually striving to achieve 100% on-time delivery, and monitoring cost to maintain profitability. Trans-Matic's deep drawn metal stampings products are certified ISO/TS 16949.

The raw materials used at Trans-Matic in our deep drawn metal stampings include low carbon cold rolled steels (1006 to 1050), pre-coated steels, stainless steels (300 & 400 series), Inconnel, brass, bronze, copper, and aluminum (1100, 3003, & 5052).

Trans-Matic has perfected the ability to engineer both coarse and fine threading, wall ironing, multiple side piercing, knurling, embossing, rectangular shapes, coining and marking, extruding and many other required deep drawn stampings part features in our transfer presses. These deep drawn metal stampings capabilities eliminate the need for costly secondary operations.

Following the development and production of a custom deep drawn metal stampings component, Trans-Matic has the ability to perform numerous value added options for our customers. Our deep drawn metal stampings options include threading (rolled or cut), crimping, boring, welding, and fully automated assembly work cells. Trans-Matic utilizes our lean logistic stream to leverage our local supplier partnerships to support us with the following part finishing options: aqueous parts cleaning, ultrasonic part cleaning, passivation, vibratory deburring, part on part tumbling, machining, zinc and phosphate plating (including HEX free), E coating, black oxide, autophoretic, copper plating, annealing and heat treating.

In addition to producing high quality deep drawn metal stampings, Trans-Matic is also committed to protecting the environment by striving to continually improve our processes to minimize waste and pollution, while striving to comply with all relevant environmental regulations and other requirements. Trans-Matic is certified ISO 14001 deep drawn metal stampings manufacturer.

Trans-Matic's large press metal stampings capability begins with several Waterbury Farrel presses in the 105 ton (95 tonne) to 300 ton (272 tonne) size. Our die set transfer press capabilities begin with 400 ton (363 tonne) Aida and Minster presses and go up to 600 tons (544 tonne). Trans-Matic's large eyelet press and die set transfer press technology provides the deep drawn metal stampings capabilities to an overall length of 7” (177mm) and to accommodate raw material thickness up to .150” (3.81mm).

Trans-Matic deep drawn metal stampings company uses small eyelet and ICOP press technology that provides the capability to draw components with a raw material thickness starting at .005” (0.127mm). Trans-Matic small press metal stampings capabilities include Waterbury Farrel, US Baird, and Platarg presses starting at 5 tons (4.5 tonne) increasing to 75 tons (68 tonne). We have duplicate deep drawn metal stampings manufacturing capabilities at each of our production centers.
