Transfer
Stamping Dies
& Custom Parts

A progressive die moves a continuous metal strip through its stations, so the part stays attached until the last cut. That suits small, high-volume parts. A transfer die cuts the blank free first and moves it between stations on fingers, a transfer bar or a robot, so the part can be drawn deeper, turned between stations and made larger than a strip could carry. Transfer dies usually cost more to build but save material on large parts.

Yes. We make all kinds of custom parts to your needs: deep-drawn cups and housings, stamped brackets, shields and springs, terminals and connector contacts, lead frames, insert-molded assemblies and CNC machined parts. You can buy the transfer die alone to run in your own press, or order finished parts from us and let SSP own the tooling, production and inspection.

Yes. Send the part, a photo with key dimensions or a sketch with your requirements. We measure samples on CMM and optical equipment, model the part and send you a drawing to approve before quoting the die or the production run. An NDA can be signed before you share files.

There is no MOQ for prototypes and samples. For production, we quote to your annual volume and recommend the most economical tooling: a transfer die, a progressive die or a simpler tool for low volumes.

Choose a transfer die when the part needs deep or repeated draws, is too large or heavy to stay on a carrier strip, has to be reoriented between operations, or when nesting loose blanks saves more material than a carrier strip would waste. For small, flat parts at very high volume, a progressive die is usually cheaper per part. Our progressive vs transfer stamping dies guide compares both in detail.

Ground punches, inserts and draw rings are made to ±0.002 mm and checked on CMM. Tolerances on the stamped part depend on the material, thickness and geometry, so we agree them at the DFM stage and prove them at tryout with a dimensional report.

Yes. We design finger geometry, gripper clearances, part pick points and transfer heights around your press and transfer system from the first layout. Send us the press bed size, transfer pitch and stroke, and the die is built to match your line.

Cold-rolled and high-strength steel, advanced high-strength steel up to 1,500 MPa, stainless steel, aluminum alloys from the 1xxx to 7xxx series, copper, brass, and titanium and nickel alloys, from 0.1 mm to 6 mm thick. Each die is simulated for the actual sheet grade and thickness you will run.

Single-station transfer dies take 3–5 weeks, multi-station dies with 3–6 stations 6–10 weeks, and large dies with 6–10 stations 10–16 weeks. That is longer than the 20–35 days we quote for standard stamping dies, because every station is simulated, built and tried out in sequence. Replacement station inserts ship in 7–15 days. You get a firm schedule with the quote; our China tooling lead-time data shows where the time goes.

A certificate of conformance, the CMM dimensional report, material certificates, hardness results and the press tryout record. First article inspection (FAI) reports with ballooned drawings are included, and PPAP documents are prepared on request for automotive programs.

Yes. We make station inserts, blanking and draw punches, draw rings, trim steels, nitrogen gas spring installations and guide components for dies built elsewhere, from your drawings or by measuring a worn part. Typical lead time is 7–15 days, with a CMM check before dispatch.
