“This way, we get all set up and run the material and get the parts we need. We don’t have to wait for a die set.” A manufacturer of high quality lock sets and door hardware

Business Challenge: Speed to market is critical to your customers’ success. That’s why they demand short lead times.

  • Have you lost a job, or just declined to bid, because you couldn’t tool up fast enough?
  • Has a good customer gone to your competition because you couldn’t ship parts soon enough?
  • Would you like the opportunity to provide your customers with short lead times without expediting?

Your UniPunch Alternative: Even if you plan to use dedicated, purpose-built tooling for the long run, you can start production with the standardized components of reusable UniPunch press tooling and meet your customers’ immediate needs while you wait for hard tooling.

For punching and notching your recurring parts, dedicated setups of versatile UniPunch unitized press tooling are a “silver bullet” delivering short set up times for quick changeover from part to part and the high and predictable productivity of making many holes at once. Plus you retain the productivity of stamping from a reusable tooling investment.

Versatile UniPunch tooling lets you:

  • Tool up promptly so you can quote short lead times and keep those short lead time opportunities
  • Set up and begin production within days and ship parts fast

Even for complex parts that require custom or modified units, UniPunch can typically provide what you need in less time than you can get hard tooling. You don’t have to wait for hard tooling to start your job.

How It Works: UniPunch tooling is a system of standardized components that can be promptly assembled into a dedicated quick change setup that is ready each time your customer calls for the part.

If you do switch to hard tooling when it’s ready, you retain the standard UniPunch components in your “library” of reusable press tooling and pull from it to assemble dedicated quick change setups for other parts…and you can repeat the process for years to come. Plus, you can amortize the cost of UniPunch press tooling over numerous jobs and reduce you bid price on all of them.

Let UniPunch Help You: Profit from short lead time opportunities. UniPunch gives you quick change tooling and the high and predictable productivity of stamping from a flexible and reusable tooling investment.
