Increase Throughput to Increase Revenue.

“I always look at a job three ways. What is the best way to make this part?  I always look for a better way to make a better part or make the part less costly.  That’s why I requested that we buy UniPunch.”   Manufacturing Engineer and Planning/Estimating Manager at Fabcon

Business Challenge:   Whenever the economy goes through a cycle of recovery and expansion, manufacturers look for ways to produce more in their factories.  Adding more of the same capability—one option—is obvious for increasing capacity and throughput.  Choosing the best solution requires study of other options.

• Do you want to add capacity for less money?

• Would you like to tool up faster, set up faster, and produce parts faster and for less money than you can with current methods?

• Is predictability important to you?

Your UniPunch Alternative:   For punching and notching your recurring parts, dedicated setups of UniPunch unitized press tooling are a “silver bullet” delivering both short set up times for fast 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.  

You can use the technology of stamping to increase throughput for less money with –

• The ability to tool up promptly with a low investment so you can be in production quickly,

• Fast exchange of tooling so you can run small lots,

• And fast run times so you can get work through your plant.

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

You achieve fast changeovers minimizing set up time and maximizing production run time.  The UniPunch system is flexible, and the quick change capability of dedicated setups is perfectly aligned with today’s lean manufacturing practice of producing smaller and smaller lots.  You can produce frequent short runs to support lean manufacturing systems.

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 stamping 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 your CNC hole making machines for the parts for which they are uniquely capable.
