Fort Wayne Pools Fort Wayne, IN
Fort Wayne Pools, a major manufacturer of in-ground
swimming pools, is known worldwide for building many unique
shapes and
sizes of pools. The 30-year-old company employs more than 500
people to manufacture its galvanized steel-walled / vinyl-lined
pools.
“
UniPunch tooling provides us with the flexibility we need”
“
We use brakes, shears, UniPunch tooling and welders to
fabricate our pools. Everything is basically custom designed
and built...you can have any
size
or shape
pool you can imagine.
“
We use UniPunch to do all of our punching and notching.
We utilize a little tiny slit punch for making radiuses.
“
Dies would be too expensive to use in our operation
because we make so many different pool configurations.
Engineering changes a lot of hole patterns because
of the many sizes and shapes of our pools. Every
time we change over to make a different
pool, higher
or shorter,
longer or shorter, we have to change our patterns.
We use the same UniPunches to make them all. We just
change the
hole setup
on the templates, lock them down and start punching.
UniPunch provides us with the flexibility we need.”
