Blanking and forming die for sheet metal no. 12

Tapping

Dies with in-die tapping: threads produced during stamping

Tapping units integrated into progressive dies to eliminate secondary operations and reduce costs and handling.

What it is

Why tap in the die

With in-die tapping the holes are threaded during the stamping cycle: the part leaves the press already threaded. This eliminates an external operation, part handling and the risk of errors.

No manual secondary operations or intermediate handling.

Integrated into the progressive die

The tapping units are part of the die.

Method

How we work, step by step

01

Feasibility study

We analyse the drawing or 3D model, material, thickness and volumes together with you.

02

3D CAD design

We design the die and simulate all its movements before construction.

03

Construction in the toolroom

CNC with 3D CAM, wire and sinker EDM, grinding: all in-house.

Applications and industries

  • Brackets and supports with threaded holes
  • Automotive components
  • Parts for electrical equipment
  • Furniture components
Blanked and bent sheet metal support

In-die tapping FAQs

Can tapping be done in any die?

Tapping units are typically integrated into progressive dies; feasibility depends on material, thickness and hole position.

What are the cost benefits?

A secondary operation is eliminated, along with the related handling and inspection.

Will you assess feasibility on my part?

Yes, send us the drawing: the feasibility study is the first step.
