Focus processes: fine blanking and thinning deep drawing
What parts are typically fine blanked?
Answer
Conductive and magnetic material expertise. Copper and brass for conductivity, low-carbon steel and SECC for magnetic circuits, plus plating options (nickel, tin) coordinated in-house. ISO 9001:2015 with IATF 16949-aligned quality management, with PPAP-aligned documentation, FAI reports and material certifications available on request. Fine blanking and progressive die experience for connector housings, shielding parts, motor laminations and solenoid frames with tight flatness and edge quality.

- Electronics Components Manufacturer | Precision StampingCan you hold flatness on thin stamped parts? + Yes. Fine blanking, controlled stamping sequences and straightening steps are used where flatness is critical; parts are checked against your tolerance from first article onward.

What an engineer still needs from you
- material and material condition (grade, temper)
- material thickness, plus the key diameter, height and wall thickness
- tolerances, burr direction and the visual acceptance standard
- annual volume - it decides whether tooling is single-hit, progressive or transfer
- surface finish, and any secondary machining, annealing or plating
Next step. Send the drawing for a manufacturability review, or send the part data for a process and cost route.
