When evaluating a sheet metal stamping die for washing machine inner drum production, the application is only the starting point. Die dimensions, weight, shut height and feeding parameters also need to be reviewed against the intended production equipment.

IDO Technology’s progressive sheet metal stamping die for 7 kg washing machine inner drums measures 2350 × 850 × 571 mm, weighs 3,630 kg and is specified for a 250 mm strip width. Its key specifications provide a practical reference for tooling selection and installation planning.

Application and Technical Specifications

This progressive die is designed for sheet metal stamping of inner drum for 7 kg washing machines. The 7 kg designation refers to the washing machine’s load capacity, not the weight of the inner drum or the tooling.

The dimensions and weight describe the tooling’s physical configuration, while the shut height and feeding parameters provide reference points for reviewing its installation. These values should be considered together when assessing the intended press and feeding arrangement.

Dimensions, Shut Height and Feeding Parameters

With overall dimensions of 2350 × 850 × 571 mm and a weight of 3,630 kg, this die requires suitable space and handling arrangements for installation and removal. Reviewing both size and weight helps establish the practical requirements for moving and positioning the tooling.

The 571 mm shut height is another key installation parameter. It needs to be checked against the intended press setup as part of the equipment compatibility review. Overall dimensions alone are not sufficient to confirm that a die is suitable for a particular press.

On the feeding side, the die is specified for a 250 mm strip width and a 375 mm feed line height. These parameters help define the interface between the tooling and the feeding arrangement. Checking them during project planning helps identify whether the proposed setup matches the die’s specified configuration.

Service-Life Requirements

The die service-life requirement is at least 800,000 stamping strokes, while the requirement for spare punches is at least 200,000 cycles.

These are separate requirements for the overall tooling and the spare punches. The die’s service-life requirement should therefore not be treated as the replacement interval for every individual component. Maintenance planning should consider component condition and wear during operation.

For a washing machine inner drum project, the next step is to review the component drawings alongside the available equipment specifications. Washing machine capacity identifies the intended application, but a tooling assessment also needs to account for the specific component and production setup.
