Fourslide Stamping
Fourslide stamping and Multi-Slide tools are a cost-effective alternative to a progressive tool, especially when production requirements may not be significant enough to justify a substantial investment. These tools are capable of producing high quality, precision stampings and wire forms. Working in three planes, fourslide stamping and Multi-Slide machines are very versatile. This versatility provides an opportunity for organizations to overcome design constraints. The incorporation of a progressive die provides the ability to integrate special forms, features and identification markings. Less complex than a progressive die, first article submission is oftentimes faster. While there are limitations, your parts may benefit from the cost saving advantages offered by the fourslide and Multi-Slide process.
With over 60 fourslide machines and 12 power presses ranging from 15 to 100 ton, GEMCO Manufacturing is one of the largest global custom metal stamping operations in New England. Our ability to incorporate value added processes such as in-die insertion of electrical contacts, rivets and PEM™ Fasteners as well as tapping holes and designing two-stage tools to eliminate secondary operations offers additional cost saving opportunities.
