Why Use UniPunch

The strategic benefits, financial benefits, and personal benefits of using UniPunch tooling are all interrelated, and they all derive from the unique way that UniPunch tooling lets you make parts faster with a system that costs less compared to other methods and technologies, such as, drilling, die sets, turrets, or lasers.

Pricing power comes from having lower costs compared to competitors that make similar parts using other methods.

Shorter lead times can be the strategic advantage that wins an order. By choosing UniPunch tooling you can be in production quickly and offer shorter lead times.

Being faster to market with new designs is especially important in crowded markets where competitors copy each other. Drawing on the large inventory of tooling that UniPunch maintains can mean you will be in production sooner... a strategic advantage over your competitors. These days product life cycles are shorter and design changes are frequent, and with UniPunch tooling you can quickly accommodate design changes.

Relieving bottlenecks can lead to more sales. When sales are limited by bottlenecks that limit factory throughput, switching to UniPunch tooling can relieve the bottlenecks caused by slow processes; for example, bottlenecks at turrets or lasers making holes one-hole-at-a-time.

Ease of use is a factor. UniPunch tooling is easy to learn to use so you can keep your more highly skilled personnel free for other jobs.

In summary, the methods you choose in your factory effect your products' competitive position with strategic benefits like price and speed to market.  It is not enough to deliver better products anymore. You have to be able to deliver them when the customer wants them and increasingly that means quickly.

Manufacturers using UniPunch tooling enjoy operating efficiencies that translate into financial benefits.

With UniPunch tooling you make parts faster, that is, in fewer minutes, with a method that costs less per minute. That’s why those parts cost less.

Lower costs lead naturally to higher margins and UniPunch customers tell us that the parts they make with UniPunch tooling earn some of their highest profit margins.

And you can have less capital in inventory for two reasons. One, your parts cost less. Two, you make parts faster.  You can quickly produce smaller shop orders using dedicated setups of the UniPunch system to change from part to part fast so you can stay ahead of customer demand with fewer parts on hand.

In summary, quicker changeover and faster production work together; quickly producing smaller lots at a lower cost allows you to maintain customer service with less capital tied up in inventory. And lower cost parts have higher profit margins.

Manufacturers using UniPunch tooling enjoy a reliability that translates into personal benefits.

Better job security and a better chance for job growth come from being on a team that is more productive than the competition.

Reliability is important, too. Imagine the embarrassment of missing your delivery promises, and the confidence that comes from knowing your parts will be on time.

The UniPunch system is just more fun because it is a system that you can count on.

In summary, you can have the peace of mind, the pride, the confidence, that come from knowing your parts will be made for less money, faster, and on time.
