Custom Fourslide Stampings

Intricate and Economical Metal Forming

Create dynamic and intricate metal components with fourslide stamping and forming services from M.D. Hubbard Spring. Our fourslide stamping machines can manipulate material from four axes, shaping the workpiece to form complex, highly repeatable forms. Manufacturers can transform sheet metal into three-dimensional parts with multiple bends, steep angles, and even twists without needing to undergo extensive processing or run through multiple machines.

The Fourslide Stamping Advantage

Fourslide forming offers more design possibilities than other metal forming processes, and it does so with fewer risks of errors, waste, and delays. Its in-built efficiencies open the door to creating more high-quality products at a cost-effective price for manufacturers and end-users.

Cost-Effective Tooling and Production

M.D. Hubbard Spring specializes in using fourslide machines to shape metal goods. With this technique, the machine doesn’t need to clamp down on excess material stripping for positioning; instead, we are able to work with precisely sized stock. Tooling for fourslide machines is also generally more budget-friendly to create and maintain. This makes it a practical option for custom-designing components to fit specialty assemblies, or for extending product lines to include more variations and sizing.

Elimination of Secondary Operations

Fourslide machines can also perform secondary operations throughout the stamping process, so operators don’t have to move goods from machine to machine or perform manual finishing. This eliminates errors from handling, significantly reduces production time and expenses, and makes every unit more dimensionally consistent.

At M.D. Hubbard Spring, we can use our full-service fourslide machines to integrate welding, tapping, and more into one production phase. Because four-slide stamping machines can create more complex shapes and forms from single sheet metal pieces, this method can also eliminate assembly processes when combining simpler sub-components into a final form.

Materials for Fourslide Stamping

The stamping and production teams at M.D. Hubbard Spring works with a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals to deliver goods for multiple industries. We can work with sheet metal between 0.003 inches and 0.093 inches thick and widths of 3 inches or more.
