Multi Slide (Four Slide) Stamping Process

This Hi-Res video of a Multi-Slide Stamping Press and the four-slide stamping press is from the factories of CAR Engineering and Manufacturing (www.car-eng.com) situated in upstate New York. Click on "Show More" below to learn more about the details of these processes.
The most simple way to describe a multi-slide, 4 slide or four-way is a horizontal stamping press that uses cams to controls tools. The key difference is instead of an “up and down” motion like in a punch press, the multislide machine works on right angles. Its moving slides that have tools attached, which strike the work piece to form it.
Multi-Slide and Four-Slide are basically the same machine. A multislide simply has a bigger bed size than a fourslide. CAR Engineering has 12 multi-slides and one four-slide.
CAR Engineering has a U.S. Baird 820 Multislide which is the largest multi-slide ever made. This unique machine can handle parts 3/16 thick and up to 8 inches wide.

I was a setup guy on multi slides and presses back in the 80's. We made contacts, bushings,... It was a fun job.

I can really appreciate this video. I used to own a Nilsen #3, a #4, and #5 four slides. The #5 was a brute of a machine and I don't think there were too many around.

This is what I operated during my Littelfuse days.Multislide for mini fuses.

I’m taking a tool and die class and the book drones on about stuff that isn’t explained and the illustration doesn’t really help. This video kinda helped me visualize what they’re talking about though.
