Slide forming is a highly sophisticated metal stamping process. Slide forming machines are specialized, integrated stamping and forming machines built from the ground up to do complex stampings well. They are suited to smaller parts rather than longer ones. Within the range they can handle, they offer the following advantages: |
|
- High accuracy
- High repeatability, especially in the face of material variation
- High speed and therefore
- Low part price
- Low tooling price
