UniPunch Hole Punching Over Drilling

In metal fabrication, creating precise holes is a critical task. While there are various methods available, UniPunch tooling stands out for its efficiency and versatility, especially compared to traditional drilling.

Material Versatility

UniPunch tooling is exceptional in its ability to handle a diverse array of materials. It efficiently punches through:

  • Mild Steel (up to 3/4″ thickness)
  • Aluminum
  • Stainless Steel (up to 1/4″ thickness)
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • A36
  • Composite, laminated materials, fiberglass, plastic, rubber

This wide range of compatibility outshines traditional drills, which may struggle with certain thicknesses or material types.

Precision

UniPunch tooling guarantees precision and consistency in hole quality. With its custom-made tooling, it ensures uniform holes across various materials, an aspect where drilling can sometimes falter, especially on a large scale or with difficult materials.

Efficiency

Speed is a significant advantage of UniPunch tooling. It can punch holes in a fraction of the time it takes to drill them, especially beneficial in projects with a high volume of holes. This efficiency can greatly accelerate project timelines.

Custom Hole Punch Designs

When it comes to cutting precise shapes out of metal, UniPunch custom hole punch designs provide an efficient and cost-effective solution.

What is Blanking?

Blanking is the process of cutting a desired shape out of a flat piece of sheet metal. UniPunch tooling is used when the punch slug serves as the blank itself. Interestingly, a well-made punched hole has two sizes: the size of the punch on the entry side and the size of the die on the other side of the material. In blanking, it is the size of the blank that is crucial. The blanking die is made to size, while the punch is intentionally undersized to provide the appropriate punch and die clearance.

Benefits of UniPunch Custom Hole Punch Designs

Precision and Efficiency:

UniPunch designs ensure accurate and consistent blanking results, meeting the exact shape and size requirements of your application. This precision eliminates the need for additional machining processes, saving time and reducing costs.

Customization:

UniPunch understands that every application is unique. Their team of experts works closely with customers to develop custom tooling solutions, taking into account specific material thicknesses, hole sizes, die clearance, and production requirements.

Cost Savings:

UniPunch’s lower-cost alternative to traditional die sets significantly reduces tooling costs, making it an attractive option for small part production or combined blanking and punching operations. Additionally, UniPunch’s efficient tooling systems minimize material waste, further enhancing cost savings.

Streamlined Operations:

UniPunch’s turn-key systems simplify the blanking process, from setup to production. With integrated mounting systems and gauging, their solutions enhance productivity and minimize downtime between operations.

Create Hole Patterns With UniPunch Tooling

Are you looking to streamline your hole punching and part notching processes? Look no further than UniPunch. Our innovative tooling system offers a range of units that can be used together to create precise hole patterns and edge notches, making the production of parts faster and more efficient.

Create a Hole Pattern in Parts

The UniPunch system is designed to simplify the creation of hole patterns. With its c-frame casting and precisely aligned punch and die, you can achieve accurate results. The key to creating the desired hole pattern is the round pilot pin located at the bottom of the unit. By inserting it into the designated hole in the mounting system, such as a mounting template, you can easily achieve the desired outcome.

But what if you require a shaped hole? UniPunch has got you covered. An additional diamond pilot pin, also known as an orientation pin, maintains the orientation of the shape within the hole pattern. This ensures consistency across multiple batches of parts. The UniPunch system empowers you to create complex hole patterns without sacrificing accuracy or efficiency.

Embrace UniPunch for Enhanced Efficiency

The UniPunch system offers a host of advantages that can significantly enhance your manufacturing processes. Its ability to create precise hole patterns, combined with its rapid setup time and increased production speed, make it a game-changer for businesses aiming to improve efficiency and productivity.

Whether you are looking to streamline your existing operations or stay ahead of the competition, UniPunch can help you achieve your goals. Say goodbye to tedious setups and hello to a more efficient and productive future.

10x Faster than Drilling

Customer Testimony

A manufacturer of garage storage systems significantly increased production with UniPunch.

The Challenge

“Drilling holes became too slow for us. Rhino Shelf is a fast-growing, high-quality company and product. We are committed to being American-made and holding ourselves to the highest standards of quality and performance. UniPunch seemed to share that commitment, so we reached out to them to create custom tooling for our parts.”

Working with UniPunch

“The entire process with UniPunch was excellent, from the first time we contacted them through delivery of the tooling. UniPunch’s team was FAST, EFFICIENT, and PROFESSIONAL. UniPunch’s communication was excellent. Drafts of our tooling were done quickly. We refined the drafts and, once finalized, the UniPunch system arrived at our facility. Setup for Unipunch was easy with our press brake.”


We can punch parts TEN TIMES faster than drilling

Speeding up Production

“Once we put UniPunch to work, we knew that we made the right decision.  We can punch parts TEN TIMES faster than drilling. Before UniPunch, we had an extensive deburring process. That has now been eliminated. Most importantly, Unipunch is extremely SAFE. Our employees are the best and their safety is more important than any other function of the company. Drill presses can be unsafe in several ways, but our punching process is BY FAR the safer option.”

The Tooling Pays for Itself

“Safer, faster, more efficient. By our calculations, each setup pays for itself in 14 weeks.”

“We have now transitioned our most common parts to UniPunch tooling exclusively and, due to the excellent results that we’ve achieved, will be transitioning ALL of our parts quickly.”

“I want to thank Howard Stream and the entire UniPunch team for their attention to detail, their fantastic service, and their product that has revolutionized the way we manufacture Rhino Shelf – the best garage storage shelving ever made.”
