When talking about the dies themselves, they are known to be a unique precision tool that can cut and form sheet metal into a desired shape or profile. They have cutting and forming sections that are made from durable materials. Given their importance, the overall design of your die must employ cost-effective methods for you […]

One of the most used types of machine press is a punch press. This type of machine press can cut precise holes in a piece of material. Using punch presses for your daily business operations can help you obtain high precision, rigidity, and efficiency on your final products. They can also save you a lot […]

Today, the industry of die and mould machining has been growing alongside the rise of technological advancements. The evolution of metalworking technology right now allows businesses to skip most time-consuming and labour-intensive aspects of die and mould machining. The process of grinding or polishing by hand in machining hardened mould surfaces is reduced or eliminated […]

One of the most common metal fabricating processes in manufacturing industries is metal shearing. During this process, both the upper and the lower blade are forced to meet each other so that the metal would be uniformly cut. This process does not promote any type of burning or melting. However, metal shearing can still cause […]

Considering industry pressures, punch and die facilities can’t afford significant periods of machine downtime, not if they’re to remain a competitive force in an aggressively growth-oriented manufacturing sector. Unfortunately, as potent as these tools clearly are, they are susceptible to fatigue-related productivity bottlenecks. Any major disruption, whether due to a worn punch or a threadbare […]

Just about any kind of material can be formed by CNC machines. Following on from this thought, Computer Numerical Machines (CNC) have the capacity to transform these materials into all sorts of intricately fashioned components. Really, there’s no limit to the detailed shapes that can be created by this automated equipment cabinet. Just input the […]

Working in the die stamping sector, there are a pair of press working techniques that dominate the industry. Asked to choose between them, a press technician can’t very well make that decision until the pros and cons of the two techniques have been determined. Starting with Progressive Die workstations, let’s find out how these stamping […]

State-of-the-art strides in CAD/CAM technology have spurred die and punch manufacturing developments at an unprecedented pace. In light of these technologically-driven tool forming developments, we feel an obligation to check out some of the more promising tech trends. Starting with conventional high-quality punch manufacturing workstations, follow us now as we look at new ways to […]

Kicking off with a straightforward explanation, one that forming equipment maintenance professionals know all too well, oily films neutralize friction. If there’s little to no friction during a machine’s operating stroke, then there’s less wear and less broken parts to replace. Sure, the sheet metals and tool linkages do their best to dissipate such energy […]

If a multi-tonnage press snaps down at breakneck speed, will a punch eject a razor-sharp blank? Not necessarily, not if there are certain quality-attenuating factors hindering the process. For one thing, what kind of shape is the die in? If it’s worn and chipped, then metal punching quality issues are going to surface. Anyway, let’s […]
