Manufacturing cargo trucks with UniPunch
A manufacturer of cargo vans and truck bodies, DeCarga Furgones, sent us the photo below of their UniPunch tooling in operation. The caption reads “The best cargo vans require the best equipment and the best tooling. Fabricar los mejores furgones requiere tener la mejor maquinaria y utilizar las mejores herramientas! #LosFurgonesSonDeCarga #Unipunch DeCarga Furgones’s cargo trucksRead More
Punch holes with UniPunch
Use UniPunch tooling to punch holes in extrusions, tubing, structural parts and more. The video above shows how two customers have used UniPunch to: Save time and money. Make uniform parts. Be flexible. How can we help you make holes faster?Read More
Less Time… More Parts
A manufacturer of animal enclosures was punching flat bars one hole at a time with an ironworker. It was time consuming and the hole-to-hole accuracy was difficult to maintain. He started punching all of the holes in one hit with the UniPunch system and went from making 60 parts per hour to 600! Watch the […]Read More
They’re Not Just for Bending Anymore!
Press brakes are an important resource for punching holes fast. One of the most common applications is punching a line of holes using UniPunch tooling on a strip template in a press brake. For recurring jobs, UniPunch tooling can stay assembled on the template and the whole assembly can be removed from the press and […]Read More
How to Reduce Tonnage?
There are a variety of ways to reduce the required press tonnage. Use Tonnage Compensator Caps – Stagger the punch length so that the punches pierce the material at different intervals Add Punch Shear – A shear angle ground onto the punch tip reduces the load or tonnage unlike flat faced punches Use correct die clearance – This […]Read More
Why Die Clearance Matters?
Proper clearance between the punch and die is essential for piercing a well-made hole efficiently. Too much punch and die clearance results in more rollover deformation where the punch enters the material and a large burr on the die side. With proper clearance between the punch and die, there will be minimal rollover deformation around the […]Read More
