Metal Stamping
CAR Engineering is the only company in Western NY with a significant multi slide department. We also have seven punch presses. Our design engineers, Milt and Steve, have over 40 years combined experience designing tools and quoting parts for stampings.
The advantage of sending your stamping quote to CAR is that our engineers will determine if it is more cost efficient to run the part in a multi slide or a punch press. Milt and Steve always consider both options and factor the complexity of the parts, material usage, and estimated volumes to recommend the right production method for each customer.
Multislides
Our Multislides, also known as 4-slides, offer a cost effective way to produce stampings from coil stock. For a more detailed information about our multislides please check out What is a multislide?
Here is an example of how coil stock can be punched and formed in to a complex part.Punch Press
CAR Engineering and Manufacturing has seven punch presses. Our three 60-ton Straight Side Minster presses are the largest and most powerful. They can run up to 200 strokes per minute and handle material up to 12 inches wide and 3/16 thick.
The dies for the punch presses and multi slides are built and maintained by our fully staffed tool room. Some of the benefits to punch presses are that they take less time to set up and run at a faster rate than a multi slide.
Davenport Screw Machines
Five Davenport Screw Machines accommodate work .125” -.750” diameters. We are able to include cross-drilled holes and milled flats simultaneously while turning the cylindrical features. Minimum lot size of 2,000 pieces is recommended.
