Fourslide Stamping
Fourslide/Multi-Slide tools are a cost-effective alternative to a progressive tool, especially when production requirements may not be significant enough to justify a substantial investment. These tools are capable of producing high quality, precision stampings and wire forms. Working in three planes, Fourslide/Multi-Slide machines are very versatile, which helps to overcome design constraints. The incorporation of a progressive die provides the ability to integrate special forms, features and identification markings. Less complex than a progressive die, first article submission is oftentimes faster.
While there are limitations, your parts may benefit from the cost saving advantages offered by the Fourslide/Multi-Slide process.
GEMCO’s ability to incorporate value added processes such as in-die insertion of electrical contacts, rivets and PEM™ Fasteners as well as tapping holes and designing two-stage tools to eliminate secondary operations offers additional cost saving opportunities.
