Embossing (manufacturing)

Embossing sheet metal is a stamping process to produce a design or relief that is elevated or immersed in a sheet metal. This process can be done by matching male and female rollers, or by passing a sheet or metal strip between the desired pattern rolls. It is often combined with Foil Stamping to create a shiny, 3D effect.

Process

Metal sheet embossing operations are generally carried out with a combination of heat and pressure on metal sheets, depending on the type of embossing required. Theoretically, with one of these procedures, the thickness of the metal changes in its composition.

Metal sheets are drawn through male and female rollers, producing patterns or designs on metal sheets. Depending on the roller dies used, different patterns can be produced on metal sheets. The heat pressure and combination is really "iron" while increasing the image level higher than the substrate to make it smooth. The term "impressed" refers to the image downgraded to the surface of the material, in contrast to the image removed from the surface of a material.

In most embossing machine operating pressures, the upper roll block is stationary, while the bottom roll blocks can be driven. The pressure at which the lower roll is raised is called the tonnage capacity.

The emboss machine is generally sized to provide 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance strips on each side of the embossed engraving roll. Many embossing machines are custom made, so there is no industry standard width. It is not uncommon to find an embossing machine in operation resulting in a pattern of less than 6 inches (15 cm) wide along the road until the machine produces a 70 inch (180 cm) wide or more pattern.

Characteristics

The process of making metal embossing has these characteristics:

• The ability to form ductile metals.
• Use in medium to high production process.
• Ability to maintain the same metallic thickness before and after embossing.
• Ability to produce patterns indefinitely, depending on the die roll.
• The ability to reproduce products without variation.
