Maximising Punch Machinery Efficiency in Production
In punch machinery, maximising process efficiency takes more than the ability to squeeze multiple cut sites onto a single sheet of hardened metal. There are other ways to tighten the production cycle. Case in point, the punch material itself is a process performance enhancer. Then there are innovative tool head aids, precisely driven work surfaces, […]
Benefits of Vacuum Heat Treatment in Punches and Dies
Before writing down a compelling argument, one that explains why punches and dies are formed from hardened super-alloys, we should talk a little about vacuum heat treatment. First and foremost, what happens inside the airless furnace? Well, air is sucked out of the heated chamber, then an inert gas replaces the air. But why go […]
