Process
Punching / Forming
Holes, slots, and bends that make a plate ready to mount.
Overview
Punching and forming add the mechanical features that make a flat plate ready to install — mounting holes, slots, radiused corners, and bends. Presses and dies punch the openings, and brakes bend the metal.
Standard and custom tooling let us match the holes, bends, and formed features to your mounting hardware and assembly.
How It Works
Hole and feature locations are set from your drawing.
Presses and dies punch holes, slots, and outlines.
Brakes bend or form the part to the required profile.
