Deep drawing in practice is one of the specialties at GB Metaal & Kunststoffen. This allows us to shape metal seamlessly using our deep drawing press. With conventional operations you are limited to a limited number of shapes, but with the help of the deep drawing press you can press the metal into any shape! In the video below, a part is manufactured using specialized deep drawing for the water treatment industry.
Not every type of material is suitable for processing with a deep drawing press. The material must be able to deform sufficiently without tearing. The following materials are suitable for processing with a deep drawing press: Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Titanium, Brass and Stainless Steel
Deep drawing is the seamless shaping of a material. This involves pressing a flat plate (blenk) between a mold and a punch with great force and then the flat plate is shaped into a hollow version of the mold. The mold is the specially made mold of the product you want to manufacture, the stamp has the opposite shape and therefore fits exactly in the mold.
Fully automatic deep drawing
The deep drawing process can be carried out partly or even completely robotically as we have a fully automatic deep drawing press. The deep drawing press we use is the Loire 400-250 tons deep drawing press. Using this modern control technology leads to lower costs for you as a customer, shorter setup times, fewer failures, higher accuracy and greater flexibility if you need to switch to other products.
Seamless and custom deep drawing
Deep drawing metal to deform it is done seamlessly and is therefore less sensitive to rust and maintenance. The products (mold and stamp) are made exactly to measure for you in a wide range of different shapes: from round to rectangular shapes and everything in between for different purposes. This gives you virtually unlimited choice in what form you want to have realized.
At GB MetaL, you have come to the right place for both serial product requirements and customization. Don't have any drawings? No problem, we can make them for you. And if you need models or parts that are no longer available, we will help you make them.
