Hydraulic Stamping

Hydraulic stamping, or die stamping which it is also known, is a quick and easy way of producing test specimens. A sharp die is pressed through the sample which cuts out the required specimen as per the shape of the die. The advantage of die stamping is that it does not generate heat in the sample, unlike processes like CNC routing or machining. Specimens are cut with high accuracy and repeatability.

Die stamping is best suited for soft thin samples. For hard, brittle, or thick samples CNC machining is more preferred route.

Impact Solutions has an automatic die stamping press and a wide range of dies. Our press has a stamping area of 45cm x 45cm with adjustable stroke and pressure settings depending on the material to be stamped. Our range of dies includes all tensile specimens as per ISO 527 and ASTM D638, a set of circular, rectangular, and square dies. We also have special dies for stamping fabrics and films. Our dies are regularly inspected to ensure specimens cut have no kinks or cuts on the surface which would affect the test results.
