What is steel punch cutting?

Steel punch cutting is a metal cutting technique that makes it possible to create a large area of perforations, to make rapid milling and as a general rule, to make precision work which cannot be accomplished by laser cutting.

It is the action of shearing on a closed contour with the help of a punch which acts on a matrix. The steel punch acts like shearing and the cutting takes place after a compression effort.

Punching also allows you to work and cut complex shapes and this, without deforming the metal sheet. Synertek recommends the use of steel punch cutting when the pieces to be cut require a lot of holes, milling, tapping or various embossing which would be too expensive or impossible to achieve with the laser cutting technique.

The advantages of steel punch cutting

The main advantage of punching is its speed of execution to carry out complex tasks, such as punching, embossing, and milling.

In addition to its speed of execution, cutting with a steel punch offers:

• The possibility of working on a large perforation area
• A wide variety of embosses
• Fast milling
• The ease of assembling complex parts
• The possibility of cutting reflective materials such as copper and brass
• Possible indexing of all tools over 360 degrees
• Unparalleled efficiency with aluminum, galvanized steel or satin steel.
