Metal stamping
We master the entire cold stamping process for sheet metal, from coil to finished part, with the capacity to handle short development runs as well as high-volume production.
We work with mechanical and hydraulic presses and have a wide range of in-house tooling that adapts to the geometric and dimensional complexity of each component:
- Progressive diesHigh-speed production from strip, integrating multiple cutting, bending and forming operations in a single press stroke. The ideal solution for small and medium-sized parts in medium to high volume runs.
- Transfer diesControlled movement of the blank (part) between independent stations, enabling more complex forming and larger-development geometries that are not feasible with progressive dies.
- Parametric diesFlexible tooling with adjustable geometric parameters (pitch, position, angle) that makes it possible to produce families of parts with a single tool, reducing tooling cost and changeover time.
- Discrete diesThey use a matrix of CNC-adjustable pins to modify the stamping geometry through software. The surface can be reconfigured instantly, eliminating rigid dies and drastically cutting costs and lead times for prototypes or short runs.
Thermal forming (Flowdrill)
Flowdrill technology makes it possible to create functional threads directly in thin sheet or tube without the need for an additional nut, using the heat generated by friction to displace and form the base material.
The process involves pressing a rotating tungsten carbide tool against the sheet: friction locally raises the temperature of the metal above its plasticity point, causing the material to flow downwards and form a cylindrical bush which, in a second stage, is threaded directly with an integrated forming tap.
Key advantages
- No need for welded or riveted nuts, reducing part numbers and operations.
- High pull-out resistance thanks to the increased effective thread thickness.
- Clean, chip-free process, suitable for automated lines.
- Compatible with steel, stainless steel and aluminium.
Joining technologies
Mechanical
Technologies for integrating functional components into the stamped part or creating permanent joints without adding extra material.
With component
Nut and stud insertion
(Clinch nuts, Weld nuts, press-in studs)
Provides high-strength threads in thin sheet without deforming the material. Ensures technical reliability, secure demountable assemblies and fast, automatable processing.
Self-drilling and self-tapping screws
Joins sheets directly in a single step with no pre-drilling. Reduces cycle times, eliminates preliminary operations and ensures strong fastenings with single-sided access.
Without component
Clinching (Tox / Pressjoining)
Joins sheets by cold deformation with no external elements or heat input. Preserves the material’s coatings, reduces consumable costs and is a sustainable process.
Riveting
Joins similar or dissimilar materials through local plastic deformation. Offers high mechanical resistance to vibration, a cost-effective process and a clean joint with no thermal distortion.
Fusion welding
A wide range of welding processes to meet the structural, dimensional and finish requirements of each assembly:
TIG welding (GTAW)
High precision and bead quality, suited to demanding materials and geometries with difficult access.
MIG-MAG welding (GMAW)
A versatile, productive process for carbon and stainless steels, in manual, semi-automatic and robotic configurations.
Robotic RSW resistance welding
Spot joining using pressure electrodes in robotic cells. High repeatability, fast cycles and minimal heat-affected zone.
Joints tailored to your project
We select the optimum technology based on the material, geometry, function and production volume to ensure the best technical and economic solution.
Heat treatment technologies
We modify and optimise the mechanical properties of stamped parts when the application requires it. The full hardening and tempering cycle is carried out in a controlled, traceable way at our own facilities.
-
Hardening
Heating to the steel’s austenitising temperature followed by rapid, controlled cooling to obtain high-hardness martensite.
-
Tempering
Controlled cycles that adjust hardness, reduce internal stresses and improve toughness.
-
Result
An optimal balance of hardness, strength and toughness, with full process traceability and verified hardness testing.
Mass finishing technologies
Processes that improve the surface quality and final appearance of parts.
Sandblasting
Cleaning, descaling and controlled roughness to improve coating adhesion.
Tumbling
Mass deburring and polishing for uniform finishes free of tooling marks.
Vibratory finishing
Controlled finishing by vibration, ideal for delicate or high-precision parts.
Drying ovens
Removal of moisture after washing or treatment processes, ensuring final quality.
