Acme Monaco

Fourslide & Progressive Die Stamping

Acme Monaco manufactures complex metal forms and high-volume stampings using advanced fourslide, multislide, and progressive die systems — delivering reduced tooling costs, tight tolerances, and consistent part-to-part quality.

Overview

Key capabilities

Technical summary, scope, and applications

Fourslide stamping is ideal for producing intricate parts that require multiple bends, forming operations, or complex geometries in a single setup. Our fourslide capabilities allow us to work with wire and flat stock to create precision components at scale. The process offers significant tooling cost advantages over traditional progressive die stamping for many part geometries.

Progressive die stamping uses a series of stations to perform multiple operations — blanking, piercing, forming, and coining — in a single press stroke cycle. This process is optimized for long production runs where per-part cost and dimensional consistency are critical. Our tooling engineers design dies for maximum efficiency, tool life, and part quality.

  • Cost-efficient high-volume manufacturing
  • Reduced tooling cost compared to traditional stamping
  • Tight tolerance repeatability on complex forms
  • Wire and flat stock forming in a single operation
  • Optimized tooling for long-run economies of scale
  • Supports thin-gauge specialty metals
  • Multiple operations in a single press stroke

Fourslide Capabilities & Specifications

Fourslide forming specifications:

  • Wire diameters from 0.005" to 0.187"
  • Flat stock thickness up to 0.090"
  • Any formable wire alloy in round, flat, or shaped cross-sections
  • In-die sensors ensure quality and consistency
  • Stamped and formed in one streamlined operation

Progressive Die Process Advantages

Progressive die stamping is the preferred method for high-volume parts requiring complex features and tight dimensional control.

Key advantages:

  • Lowest per-part cost at high volumes
  • Excellent dimensional consistency across millions of parts
  • In-die sensing for real-time quality monitoring
  • Supports a wide range of materials and thicknesses
  • Minimal secondary operations required
