It Is The Technology to Punch Parts Faster

Predictable Productivity.
Use UniPunch tooling with your press or press brake to punch parts faster. UniPunch unitized tooling delivers the higher and predictable productivity of making holes at once instead of making holes one-at-a-time. Dedicated setups of UniPunch tooling makes the predictable high productivity of stamping immediately available for even small batches of recurring parts because changeover takes just a few minutes. By offloading recurring parts from your turrets or lasers, you will make those recurring parts more quickly for more throughput, and you’ll relieve bottlenecks.

Supporting Lean Manufacturing.
Today’s lean factories operate efficiently with just-in-time production components. Today’s lot sizes are smaller. To minimize set up time, fabricators keep modular unitized tooling assembled in dedicated set setups that are immediately available to make a part. Changeover takes just a few minutes.

Speed to Market.
UniPunch tooling is available off the shelf so you can be in production quickly, the components are easily repositioned to accommodate design changes, and unitized tooling is reusable. The concept of Unitized Tooling, or as also known “C-Frame Tooling” or “Unit Tooling” or “UniPunches,” is a system of reusable components to be used instead of custom made, single purpose, hard tooling in die sets.

Versatility.
Heavy duty units can punch up to 3/4” plate. Light duty units are all you need for 24 gauge material. Standard units punch up to five inch diameter holes. The units within a series – whether standard units or custom units – have a common shut height and a common die height so they can be used next to similar units. Standardizing on one shut height means faster changeover because there is no need to adjust the ram height on your press when changing parts.
