JCL has years of experience efficiently custom metal stamping to manufacture quality EMI/RFI shielding parts. We manufacture customized shield parts to meet stringent functionality and precision requirements.
JCL’s Custom Metal Stamping Process
Our industrial metal stamping is fast, metal forming technologies are reliable, and multi-functional. We manufacture EMI/RFI shielding parts that offer exceptional performance to our clients.
Blanking - We use precision steel rule dies or hardened blanks to cleanly shear sheet metal into flat patterns that will form the foundations of EMI/RFI shielding parts. Tight tolerances were maintained on blank dimensions and edge finish.
Bending - Shielding blanks are formed into curved, angular shapes via the controlled application of localized pressure by punch and die sets. We perform versatile custom sheet metal bending like wipe, air, bottom, and coil dies to get necessary bend radii and angles.
Punching - Precision punch presses cut holes, slots, and specialty voids such as countersinks into stamped blanks. Let integration of fasteners, circuit access, and venting ports into EMI/RFI shielding parts. We deliver exceptional hole size/shape accuracy.
Coining - enables the formation of small radius forms in metal without distorting material or thickness using impressing between matched punch/die surfaces. Used to emboss reproducible intricate patterns onto shields.
Drawing - Complex 3D shielding cup shapes and enclosures are drawn from flat blanks via a radial stretching process using fluid cell pressure. Ideal for seamless one-piece containment shields.
Embossing - 3-dimensional surface relief patterns are pressed into the shield material using male and female roller dies to create thickness variations. Used to sculpt EMI absorption enhancement structures.
Piercing - We pierce small, clean apertures in formed EMI/RFI shielding parts using a punch and die clearance between 0.1-10% of material thickness. Lances formed Tab creating knock-out slugs are also available.
Curling – Tight-edge curls are formed to eliminate sharp EMI/RFI shielding parts edges, strengthen flanged ends and allow enhanced peripheral acoustic damping performance for airborne noise.
We also use special techniques when required for superior shielding performance, including:
JCL's agile in-house tooling and proprietary process controls enable rapid iteration of EMI/RFI shielding parts designs to meet application-specific attenuation, fit, and quality standards.
