What is a Micron? Precision metal stamping

At Brandauer, we are proud to be the leading producer of thousands of precision components each day. Our commitment to excellence is evident in the meticulous attention we pay to every tiny detail. But just how small and precise are these components? Let’s delve into the fascinating world of the micron and discover more as we showcase the exceptional capabilities of our precision metal stamping process.
A micron, also known as a micrometre, is an incredibly small unit of measurement, precisely one millionth of a metre. To put this into perspective, consider that a human hair is approximately 50 microns thick. At Brandauer’s state-of-the-art factory in Birmingham, our machines operate with an impressive accuracy tolerance of around 20 microns. We manufacture components of this exceptional precision a staggering 1.5 million times per day. With such precision and efficiency, we leave no room for error.
The significance of precision becomes even more apparent when it comes to small components. Emerging markets worldwide rely on companies like Brandauer to produce these micron-accurate parts. With our capacity to handle large quantities of small products, we are your reliable partners for ambitious projects.
When you choose Brandauer, you gain access to our unmatched expertise and capabilities in delivering micron-level precision. Our commitment to quality ensures that every component we manufacture meets and exceeds the highest industry standards. With our track record of precision and reliability, you can trust us to be the driving force behind your success.

Great!

[@mohdsufiansalleh4085]

the funny thing is there is this job add that ask for all of your team expertise in one person and only offer a salary of about 4k USD. how freaking stupid is that. It was a very big WTF moment for me as i to work in the stamping industry and never though how clueless a hiring Manager could be

Can you work with pure gold sheets?

Thank you very much brother. May Allah bless you in your life and health!

Do I understand correctly that the tooling is made with 1 micron accuracy, but that the manufactured stamped parts are at a 20 micron tolerance? Where do the losses in tolerance come from?

[@peteroleary9447]

This difference is often called normal process variation (NPV). Not every part of the tooling requires 1μ precision, and 20μ is quite good for most electronic connector applications though some applications may require tighter tolerances. A general rule of thumb is that the tool must be 10X more precise than the piece parts to account for NPV.

[@Tadesan]

Here's a napkin example example- The dies are made to a precision of 1 micron but a die will have two opposite sides. So you double your loss of precision to 2 microns. In the Cartesian 2d plane you have two axes so multiply your tolerance by 2 again. Then you have to meet all of those tolerances twice because you have a punch and a die. so square it and you're at 16 microns. And that's just tooling tolerances and not setup tolerances... it's called tolerance stacking and it's remarkable and complex.
