Pressings & Stampings

The manufacture of pressings and stampings forms an integral part of our business, and at European Springs and Pressings Ltd Ireland our expert service can produce these small components in a variety of forms.

Designing High Quality Pressings and Stampings

We create each pressing and stamping from a high quality metal strip material such as aluminium, beryllium copper, brass, carbon spring steel, copper, phosphor bronze, stainless steel and super alloy, and we use both flattened wire and even non-metallic materials to give you as much choice as we possibly can.

When you approach us, our experienced design team will be able to refine and develop the outline of your metal pressings before production begins, and we will take great care to take any specific requirements you might have into account. Once this stage is complete, we will select the ideal method of manufacture either pressing or stamping, and our fully equipped tool room will then build suitable tooling for manual, semi-automatic or fully-automatic production.

We have 24 progression power and multi-slide presses, and also nearly 40 single stroke presses on which to run the tooling. We deal with any of our materials in thicknesses of between 0.05 to 4mm, but, regardless of what you need, we can efficiently manufacture either a single piece or millions of pressings if you need us to.

We pride ourselves in our ability to offer a fully finished solution from Design concept to fully assembled product ready for market.

Our skilled Engineers are willing to take on any challenges to provide a solution to your Stamping requirements.

The Number One Choice for Metal Pressing and Stamping

Because of our years of expertise (over six decades in fact) we can guide you towards the creation of the best possible pressing to meet your needs, and we also make sure to deliver extremely cost effective results as well. All of our materials and procedures are extensively tested to ensure their total suitability, and our aptitude and cutting edge technology (including AgieCharmilles CAD equipment, stamping tools, laser/water cutting and spark erosion) really do make us the number one choice for anyone who needs a metal pressing and stamping manufacturer.

Metal Pressing and Metal Stamping Manufacturer – Find Out More

As we are well used to dealing with bespoke stampings and pressings, we are able to make small batches or technical prototypes available, enabling you to see your finished product in full before you order in bulk. We can also offer sub assemblies involving processes such as riveting and welding if you need us to.

Our presswork is carried out by proven manual, semi or fully-automatic production as befits your project, as well as ‘standard’ forms of pressing like flat springs, so the diversity of our service is matched only by our exceptionally high standards.

Pressing Design Process

We design our pressings to meet specific mechanical, environmental, and dimensional requirements. The process is structured to ensure each part is fully tested before production and matches your exact specification.

Concept and Specification

Every project starts with a clear understanding of the end use. We work with you to define performance targets, working conditions, tolerances, and any design constraints. This allows us to shape the pressing around what it needs to do from day one.

CAD Modelling and Simulation

We create a detailed 3D model of the part using CAD software. This model is checked using simulation tools to assess how the pressing behaves under load and in the intended environment. It gives us a reliable picture of performance before a physical part is made.

Material Selection

Material choice is based on what the pressing needs to resist—such as pressure, heat, corrosion, or wear. We work with:

  • Steel
  • Beryllium Copper
  • Copper Alloys
  • Nickel Alloys
  • Aluminium
  • Melinex

 

Prototyping and Testing

Once the design is approved, we produce a prototype. This stage is used to test real-world performance and confirm fit, form, and function before volume manufacturing begins.

Final Checks and Production

After testing, the part moves to production. Quality checks are built into each stage to confirm that dimensions and tolerances stay consistent throughout the run.
