There are many different kinds of hardware stamping dies from hardware mould manufacturers. We can classify them according to their different properties so as to have a better understanding of hardware stamping dies. Let's take a look at the three classifications of hardware stamping moulds.

Hardware mould manufacturers according to the classification of mould processing technology, hardware stamping moulds can be divided into.

1, punching die is along the closed or open contour line to separate the material of the metal mold. Such as drop die, punching die, cutting die, cut-off die, cutting edge die, cut-off die, etc.

2、Bending die is a stamping die that bends a blank or other blanks along a straight line (bending line) to obtain a workpiece with a certain angle and shape.

3、Drawing die is a kind of metal die that makes the blank into an open hollow part or further changes the shape and size of the hollow part.

4. A forming die is a die that directly reproduces the shape of the blank or semi-finished product according to the shape of the die and punch in the drawing, while the material itself only produces local plastic deformation. Such as expansion moulds, indentation moulds, expansion moulds, corrugated forming moulds, flanging moulds, forming moulds, etc.

According to the classification of the degree of process combination, hardware stamping dies can be divided into.

1. A die completes only one stamping process in one stamping stroke. 2. A compound die has only one work station. The die can complete two or more stamping processes at the same time in one stamping stroke. 3. A progressive die (also known as a continuous die) has two or more workstations in the direction of the feed of the blank. In one stroke of the press, the die completes two or more stamping processes in succession at different workstations.

According to the classification of the typical structure of the die, hardware stamping dies can be divided into: 1. Process parts: directly involved in the completion of the process and in direct contact with the blank, including working parts, positioning parts, unloading and stamping parts, etc. 2. Structural parts: these parts are not directly involved in the completion of the process and are not in direct contact with the blank. They only play a role in ensuring the completion of the mould process or improving the function of the mould, including guide rails, fasteners, standard parts, etc. It should be noted that not all moulds must have the above six parts, especially single-step moulds, but the working parts and the necessary fixed parts are essential.
