Continuous die refers to the press in a stamping stroke, the use of ribbon stamping raw materials, in a pair of die with several different stations at the same time to complete multiple stamping processes of cold stamping die, die stamping is completed once, the material belt at a fixed distance to move once, until the product is completed.

Characteristics of continuous mode:

In the process of continuous die stamping, the material strip always moves in one direction. The material belt inside the mold is cut off to two or more directions after the movement is called progressive die; The belt feeding in the mold is called automatic feeding continuous die; In a stamping production chain with different processes of stamping die with manipulator or other automation facilities, the use of die or parts to complete the workpiece stamping processing rated die called multi-station die.

In real life, in order to get the same artifacts, but also need to mass production. At this time we need to use the mold, in order to achieve rapid and stable continuous production, so there is a continuous die, or called progressive die.

The main key part of the continuous die is the material belt, because the material belt is the core of the whole continuous die. Among them, the material belt design is mainly to master the design idea, know that the material belt is composed of several parts, such as: material point, cutter position, bending process, etc.

The material belt is the actual display of the product from the sheet material into the product process. So the material belt is very important.

Main advantages of terminal continuous die:

(1) High production efficiency, under one stroke of the press, can complete the stamping of multiple processes at the same time. Each trip (except for the first two trips) can basically rush out of one or several parts at the same time.

(2) stamping is convenient, and safe and reliable, not prone to accidents.

(3) Continuous mold easy to achieve single machine automation and mechanization production. The structure of continuous die is generally more complex, compared with the general die manufacturing is difficult, and the cost is higher, suitable for large batch production of stamping parts.
