The term "punch" encompasses a wide range of tools used in various phases of cold plastic metal deformation: cutting, drawing, extrusion, punching, coining, etc.
Our knowledge of these processes allows us to pay particular attention to details that, in some applications, can make a difference in both the effectiveness and the tool life.
Solid carbide punches
Small punches can be made of solid carbide.
This is an optimal choice for punches that may be exposed to significant wear due to their use.
Brazed-insert punches
QP Mechanics’ extensive experience in punch manufacturing, together with the various tests conducted on these components, has led to significant improvements in punch brazing, which resolves many sealing issues.
This innovative solution often allows for substantial cost savings.
Steel punches
These punches can also be supplied with surface coatings, either tool steel or sintered, if required.
In the case of particular applications, the choice of steel punches is the most functional.
