What is progressive die？

Progressive die stamping is a kind of stamping process, which is widely used in the production and processing of large-volume stamping parts in automation. A short explanation of progressive die stamping involves feeding a flat, thin roll of metal stock into a stamping machine. When piercing, contours are cut and bends are made while the part is advanced through sequential stations through a narrow material carrier belt. At the end of the line, one or more parts are cut away, resulting in one or more custom metal stampings per cycle of the machine.
