Punch Press Cut Parts

Professional Punch Press Services

DDC-Omni offers high-speed punch press cutting services for demanding applications requiring exceptional precision, consistency, and high production volumes. Our modern punch press equipment delivers clean-edged parts with tight tolerances, making it the ideal solution for long production runs and complex geometries.

What is Punch Press Cutting?

Punch press cutting uses precision-ground steel punches and dies to rapidly cut, punch, notch, or form materials. Unlike steel rule die cutting, punch press operations can achieve tighter tolerances and are optimized for high-volume production. This process is particularly effective for smaller parts, repetitive shapes, and applications requiring multiple operations in a single stroke.

Applications

• Electronic Components: EMI/RFI gaskets, thermal interface pads, and insulation washers
• Automotive Parts: High-volume gaskets, seals, and vibration dampening components
• Medical Devices: Precision gaskets and sealing components for medical equipment
• Appliance Manufacturing: Insulation pieces, mounting pads, and sealing gaskets
• Industrial Equipment: Anti-vibration mounts, shock absorbing pads, and spacers
• Telecommunications: Gaskets and seals for outdoor enclosures and equipment

Materials We Process

Our punch press equipment handles a wide range of materials:

• Rubber and elastomers (neoprene, EPDM, silicone, nitrile)
• Closed-cell foam (polyethylene, PVC, neoprene)
• Open-cell foam (polyurethane, polyether)
• Cork and cork/rubber composites
• Felt and non-woven materials
• Plastics and films
• Thin metals and foils
• Adhesive-backed materials and tapes

Punch Press Capabilities

• Part Size: From 0.125" to 24" in diameter or equivalent area
• Thickness Range: 0.005" to 0.500" thick
• Tolerances: ±0.005" to ±0.015" depending on material and size
• Production Speed: Up to 300 strokes per minute for simple geometries
• Multiple Operations: Piercing, notching, and forming in single setup
• Complex Shapes: Multiple holes, slots, and profile cuts

Advantages of Punch Press Cutting

• Tighter Tolerances: More consistent dimensions than die cutting
• Faster Production: Higher cycle rates for improved throughput
• Cost Effective: Lower piece cost for high-volume runs
• Clean Edges: Superior edge quality with minimal material distortion
• Repeatability: Excellent part-to-part consistency
• Multi-Operation: Complete multiple operations in one press cycle
