Punching

PUNCHING, PENETRATING AND CALIBRATING IN ONE STROKE

Punching allows the rapid and precise cutting of flat workpieces. Rather than relying on standard solutions, TOX^® utilises punching systems that are tailored to the specific application, from the press frame to the die set-up. This allows even complex contours, multiple punched holes or combined processing steps to be efficiently integrated into the manufacturing process.

Chipless cutting process for precise sheet metal punching

Punching is a non-cutting mechanical separation process and is particularly suitable for processing flat workpieces made of metal or plastic. The process is particularly impressive when punching sheet metal due to its speed, repeat accuracy and variety of shapes.

One of the most frequently used methods is shear cutting, which enables the economical and precise separation of semi-finished products such as sheet metal, semi-finished parts for the automotive industry or plastic parts from the white goods industry.

While knife and bite cutting are only used in exceptional cases, sheet metal punching by shear cutting is an integral part of modern production - ideal for high quantities and complex geometries with high process reliability.

Cutting, joining or reshaping materials

Punching is a versatile non-cutting separation process that fulfils a wide range of requirements - from closed and open cuts to form cuts and multiple punched holes. Combined processes such as punching, piercing and calibrating can also be realised efficiently in a single stroke.

Whether punching sheet metal, plastic, cardboard or film - we develop a suitable system depending on the material and application. The basis is a punching system customised to the task, based on a press frame or a gripper solution. In many cases, shear cutting is used - a tried and tested method within the mechanical cutting process.
