Eliminate Scrap and Rework

Challenge: What do you do when insertion of a solid, screw machined pin into a fragile ceramic component causes cracking and significant rework of assembled components?

Solution: Create a compliant area in the pin so that you have some spring and more forgiving tolerances to work with between the screw machine and the ceramic products.

A tiny die was built directly into a machine that coins a flat area on this screw machine pin, then pierces it. The machine also inspects each part to ensure that there is indeed a hole.

Simple automation and attention to detail in tool cutting clearance and maintenance resulted in success. No expensive rework of assembled boards. No loss of expensive screw machine parts or other components.

Could redesigning a single component reduce scrap in your process? Take the first step toward a solution by calling the stamping design hotline -- 1.888.89.STAMP -- and talking to one of our engineers
