Relieve Bottlenecks.
Generate More Cash From More Throughput.

"Our programming staff can punch out a program for the turrets pretty quick, but where you have numerous pieces to punch, several hundred or a thousand, it is just more economical to run it on the unitized tooling. You just make a setup and you can whip those parts out real quick." Senior Buyer at a Custom Fabricator

Business Challenge: Bottlenecks choke a factory floor; they limit the output of the entire factory and wasting the capacity of upstream and downstream operations. For metal fabricators, hole making and notching machines that make holes one-at-a-time are often bottlenecks.

Would you like relief from bottlenecks?

  • Do you suffer from bottlenecks caused by a slow process that just keeps everything else waiting?
  • Do you experience bottlenecks caused by large lots?
  • Do you experience long set up times that crowd out needed processing time?

Your UniPunch Alternative: For punching and notching your recurring parts, dedicated setups of UniPunch unitized press tooling are like a “silver bullet” delivering relief from bottlenecks with both quick set ups and the fast run times of making many holes at once.

UniPunch tooling is perfectly aligned with Lean thinking. You can to tool up promptly with a low investment so you can be in production quickly. The quick change capability gives you the flexibility to run small lots, and the high, predictable productivity means hole making is no longer a bottleneck.

How it Works: UniPunch tooling is a system of standardized components that once assembled into dedicated quick change setups are ready whenever there is demand for the part.

Reusable UniPunch unitized press tooling is one of the most cost effective options available to increase your hole making and notching capacity. UniPunch tooling gives you the predicable productivity of making many holes at once on low cost punch presses or press brakes. The shorter run time can be quoted at a lower rate than if you used expensive CNC hole making equipment. Save time and money, quote lower prices, and free up time on your CNC hole making machines.

Let UniPunch Help You: Enjoy relief from bottlenecks for more throughput and more cash flow. The UniPunch system is readily available, inexpensive, and reusable. To learn more, send us a print or a print package and let us quote tooling for one or several of your parts.
