1.1.9 What is the multi station progressive die

In the feeding direction of the blank, there are two or more stations. In one stroke of the press, the dies that complete two or more stamping processes at different stations are called multi station progressive dies (also called continuous dies, skip dies, etc., as shown in Fig. 1-9, multi station progressive dies for connecting plates).

Multi station progressive die is an advanced and efficient die in stamping die. It is a multi process integrated die developed on the basis of single process stamping die. For some stamping parts with complex shapes, such as blanking, bending, forming, drawing and threading, stamping can be completed on a pair of multi station progressive dies.
