Progressive Die Stamping of a Steel Back Plate for the Consumer Products Industry

Arcade Metal Stamping specializes in manufacturing precision metal stamping components for a wide range of applications across a variety of industries.

A long-time client recently came to us for the reengineering of a steel back plate that is used in a tankless water heater application. By redesigning this component considerable cost was saved by eliminating welding and stamping processes.

The back plates were stamped from 0.048″ thick galvannealed steel on precision 200 and 45 ton stamping presses. Existing tooling was redesigned to form a back plate with new toggle locks which eliminated a welding process. Redesigning hole configurations also eliminated additional stampings. We currently manufacture over 60,000 of these 0.930 lb. components annually.

Our quality program utilizes in process dimensional and visual inspections, verification of holes with go/no go pins, and confirmation of toggle lock pull out force.
