Do Your Needs Match the Tool You’re Using?
If you just need a couple of holes, then a hydraulic ironworker is still the way to go. However, if you need many parts, multiple holes in one part, and hole-to-hole accuracy matters, then UniPunch is the right tool for your needs.
Ironworkers |
 |
| Punch one hole at a time | Multiple holes in one hit of the press |
| Better for just a couple of holes | Great for when you need many parts |
| Accuracy is dependent on the operator, More risk for human error | Hole-to-Hole locations are predetermined and more accurate |

Manufacturers Love Saving Time with UniPunch
Here is what just a few of them had to say:
“When I came in, they didn’t know about UniPunch. It used to take them three weeks to complete 300 locks…now we’re making 600 in one week just because I knew about the UniPunch system and was able to teach them how to use it and pick up our production.”
– Lock Set and Door Hardware Manufacturer
“The operators like working with the tooling. Once it’s set up and you have your template made, it’s a breeze…just a snap.”
– Dave,
Engineering Manager
The Metalworking Group
“Without costing an arm and a leg, there is just no other way to do it. The labor would be outrageous.”
