Understanding the Process of Dies, Punches, and Blades Production for Punch and Shear Machines

September 11, 2019

During a punching tool’s short journey, it strikes down, penetrates or indents a sheet metal workpiece, and then it retracts so that it lines up with its next strike. The whole process is over in less than a second. With […]

Machining Materials with Complex Shapes and Sizes: Why Choose EDM Spark Eroding?

August 20, 2019

With EDM Spark Eroding equipment in-situ, very precise material incisions become entirely possible. That might not seem like a big deal, as any abrasive cutting disc or milling tool can subtract workpiece material. Of some concern, however, aggressive cutting edges […]

CNC Milling and CNC Punching: What are the Differences?

August 6, 2019

CNC Milling and CNC Punching, the Computer Numerical Control prefix does imply a link, but aren’t they two different machining processes? Controlled by computer codes, CNC Miling involves the use of a “milling” cutter. Unlike that subtractive material shaving machine, […]

Driving Shop Productivity Begins With Having Quality Punches and Dies

July 16, 2019

Productivity losses can quickly kill a machine shop’s productivity margin. Narrow enough already because of high material costs and increasingly unmanageable overhead problems, that manufacturing facility can’t afford a run of rejected products. To correct that issue on a food […]

Slug Pulling in a Punching Operation: Causes and Solutions

July 2, 2019

Slug pulling occurs when a “slug” gets stuck to a punch as it’s pulling back from a strike. The tool pierced a panel of sheet metal, the slug (punched scrap) separated from the sheet, but it hasn’t dropped free. In […]
