Industrial Tooling
We started out making dies and molds, and industrial die-making is in our DNA; this is reflected in the way we approach the manufacturing of any part, whether it involves stamping, laser cutting, bending, or welding.
We design and build our own dies and tooling, ensuring reliability and safety in our production process. We manufacture precision dies that meet very strict tolerance requirements.
With our large, highly qualified team, this department enables us to perform preventive and corrective maintenance to ensure reliability throughout the manufacturing process and to respond immediately to any issues that may arise during production.
In our die and mold shop, we have wire-cut EDM machines, die-sinking EDM machines, machining centers, grinders, and milling machines that allow us to manufacture replacement parts quickly and proactively.
This section is vital to our company, and the clients we work with benefit from our contributions to improving their products.
What is die making?
Industrial die making encompasses a set of mechanical and chemical processes designed to shape or transform metallic materials into functional parts through the use of dies, molds, and punches.
This process is a non-machining method and enables the mass production of high-precision metal parts, such as automotive components, aluminum parts, and structural elements. At Estampaciones JOM, we use advanced die-making techniques that ensure the production of both short and long runs with maximum precision and a perfect finish.
What is industrial die making?
As the name suggests, die and mold making involves the manufacture of dies or molds into which a sheet of metal is cast to produce metal objects. By creating dies, we can carry out the mass production of metal parts and achieve high-volume industrial production.
In our manufacturing workshops, we cut and shape various types of sheet metal using dies and stempers. To do this, we use large machinery such as milling machines, filing machines, and large industrial lathes.
All of this is aimed at achieving optimal finishes on parts or items that are mass-produced for our customers. Furthermore, our experience in the field of industrial die-making has enabled us to achieve a high sheet metal utilization rate. In mass production using industrial die-cutting, our team typically achieves a sheet metal utilization rate of over 80%.
What is industrial die-making used for?
Industrial die making is crucial for the large-scale manufacturing of metal parts, such as automotive components, plastic parts, and consumer products. Using molds and dies, this process transforms materials such as steel and aluminum into high-precision parts without the need for machining, ensuring a clean and precise finish.
Industrial die-making is also essential in the manufacture of everyday products, such as machinery components, household appliances, and parts for the construction industry.
Industrial Die Making and Its Characteristics
Die and mold manufacturing processes offer significant advantages over other methods of mass-producing metal parts. Therefore, we will briefly summarize their main characteristics here.
One of the main characteristics of mass-producing metal parts using molds or dies is the ability to manufacture parts without producing chips. Parts made using molds have a perfect finish, since no chips are produced during the mass-production process. In contrast to other manufacturing processes, when the sheet metal is forged directly in the die, the resulting surface has optimal surface roughness.
On the other hand, die casting has the capacity to mass-produce metal parts at high speeds. This is one of the most important characteristics of this process and is undoubtedly what makes it so popular. Once the mold or die has been created, mass production of parts can reach speeds of up to 1,200 parts per minute. However, this always depends on the size of the parts.
Finally, although this process is used to manufacture only small parts of limited thickness from thin sheet metal, the mechanical strength of the resulting parts is quite high. Thus, the manufacture of metal parts using dies and molds provides an ideal solution for industries that require large production runs.
Materials and Technical Considerations
The industrial die-making process primarily uses hardened steels and high-strength metallic materials, although metals with a low melting point, such as aluminum, can also be worked.
The machines used—CNC milling machines, presses, and lathes—ensure a clean, high-quality finish. This technical control makes it possible to optimize production based on the type of part, the thickness of the material, and the required production volume.
Who builds and designs the dies?
In the mass production of metal parts using molds or dies, the most important aspect is the design and construction of the die. AtJOM, we handle both the mass production of parts using dies and the design and creation of the dies themselves.
Our team of engineers and designers specializing in die making is responsible for creating the dies our customers need. In other words, at the customer’s request, our team can create the die required for the mass production of the parts they want.
If you’re looking for a company with many years of experience in the die-making industry that can create your dies and, at the same time, produce the metal parts using them, please contact us.
Applications of Industrial Die Making in Various Sectors
The die-making process is used in various industries, such as the automotive, electronics, and plastics and consumer goods manufacturing sectors. Dies enable the production of large volumes of parts with precise tolerances, making it possible to manufacture high-precision components on a large scale.
At JOM Metal Parts, we work with customers in these industries, tailoring each die to their specifications and production needs.
