We're improving lead times for you

3/28/2016

To improve lead times for you and cut inventory costs to bring you better prices, we're implementing pull manufacturing. Right now, we're working on a plan to reduce our WIP (work in process) from 14 weeks to one or less. So from the time you email us with your order to the time your order leaves our shipping dock, your parts will flow through our plant in one week or less. We'll do the same with our eight remaining product lines and then implement the entire system.

The result: shorter lead times and lower prices for you.

How progressive stamping produces hundreds of parts - even in one minute

If you're looking for one of the fastest methods for producing metal stampings, look to progressive stamping. In progressive stamping, a steel coil moves through a feed in the press and gets stamped by multiple operations in timed sequences as it moves through the press, resulting in final parts.

We at Donahue Industries in Massachusetts use progressive stamping to metal stamp thousands of grinding wheel inserts.

Progressive dies can produce as few as seven or eight parts per minute or as many as 1,500 parts per minute.... All necessary stations are mounted on a single common die set. These stations are timed and sequenced so that the piece part can be fed ahead a constant given distance called the progression or pitch. Many parts can be tied together allowing many parts to be made with each single press stroke.
