The TLC Stamping Department is equipped with a variety of high-speed presses with capacities up to 250 tons capable of running dies up to 36 by 72 inches in physical size. TLC has continually updated its press facilities with the most modern, computer-controlled machines in order to produce the type of precision, close tolerance parts that represent the majority of the company’s motor lamination products.
In addition to production quantities, TLC can produce prototypes and short runs at economical prices including tooling and with very short lead times. This is accomplished by using various processes that, depending upon the tolerances and complexity of the part, include notch tooling, laser cut laminations or wire EDM laminations.
Stator and Rotor Metal Stamping
Metal stamping is an innovative process used to create motor laminations for a diverse array of applications. Metal stamping offers clients a wide range of customization capabilities, as the dies and materials used for this process can be designed to customer specifications.
After finalizing a die design, we perform custom metal stamping as well as all the processes that take place later in the production cycle, including annealing, assembly, and grinding. In this way, we act as a one-stop shop for fabricating motor laminations.
Every die we design is stored in both our physical warehouse and digital database, ensuring that we can produce your products whenever you need them.
Stamping Dies
TLC carries a catalog of over 1,500 dies to produce laminations. We also design and build proprietary dies for specific customer requirements, which include dedicated carbide progressive dies or master insert dies. We also offer notching and laser cutting services for prototyping, short-run, and low-volume applications.
In the custom metal stamping process, our designers work with clients to create a die that matches their specifications. After this, we select a metal workpiece that carries the attributes that work best in the client’s designated application. We place split coil of the selected metal into the stamping press, which progressively stamps the metal.
Once the metal has been stamped, we perform secondary processes such as annealing and assembly. We store all our dies on-site and save all CAD/CAM files used to design the dies in our database. For a full catalog of TLC die offerings, please click here.
Hiperco 50 Alloy Stamping
We at TLC are proud to work with Hiperco 50 alloy, which is a highly specialized cobalt alloy that benefits industries requiring the use of high-strength but lightweight metals, such as:
Aerospace
Military and defense
Hiperco is composed of 48–50% cobalt and 2% vanadium, with the rest of it comprising iron. This high cobalt content makes it well suited to applications that require very high flux density without risking saturation, as well as those that seek high tensile strength.
Hiperco 50 alloy works well in motor applications that require high magnetic saturation and high strength without sacrificing a component’s lightness. This means that Hiperco 50 alloys work well in:
Quality Lamination Stamping
Thomson Lamination Co. performs custom stamping services for clients requiring high-end specialty laminations built to extremely tight tolerances.
Our stamping department is equipped with high-speed presses with capacities of up to 250 tons.
