Introduction

Our client, a leading manufacturing company, faced a unique challenge: they needed a specialized tool for stamping platform plywood. The tool had to be precise, durable, and heat-resistant. The existing alternative—a diamond mesh—had sharp edges and twisted sheet bridges, compromising the plywood’s integrity during stamping. Our team took on the project, and the results were remarkable.

Client Requirements

1. Specific Diamond Pattern:
   • The client required a perforated metal sheet with a specific diamond pattern. This pattern was crucial for efficient stamping and consistent results.
2. Sheet Thickness:
   • The sheet needed to be of a specific thickness to withstand the stamping process without warping or deforming.
3. Heat Resistance:
   • The die would be heated during the stamping process. Therefore, the material had to withstand high temperatures without compromising its structural integrity.

Our Approach

1. Material Selection:
   • We recommended mild steel (MS) perforated sheets due to their strength, versatility, cost-effectiveness and ease of fabrication.
   • The diamond pattern was precisely punched into the sheet using advanced machinery.
2. Optimized Design:
   • Our engineers fine-tuned the diamond pattern to ensure optimal strength and uniformity using CNC EDM.
   • We adjusted the hole size and pitch spacing to balance structural integrity and functionality.
3. Heat-Resistant Coating:
   • To enhance heat resistance, we applied a specialized coating to the perforated sheet.
   • This coating protected the tool during the stamping process, preventing warping or damage.
