Slide Forming Technology Still Competitive: Older technology produces parts at reduced cost and with lower scrap rates

Jul 18 2011 | Articles

Although slide forming machinery has existed for over eight decades as a metal stamping technology, it persists as a competitive method for manufacturing specific parts, including those going into medical devices that connect internal workings. As compared to standard stamping presses, slide forming machinery is usually inexpensive due to the simplicity of the tools. Parts can also be produced relatively quickly, resulting in a lower cost per part. In addition, slide forming machines do not need a carrying web, like those of progressive tools, resulting in reduced scrap loss.
