Important features of our approach and services are:
- Detailed concept.
- Clear and careful planning.
- Make sure the design and the development of the tool.
- Follow up the production of the customized tools.
- Maintain the tools for the lifetime.
In the quotation phase we start with a feasibility analysis of the desired product. This analysis is carried out by skilled engineers, who use therefor simulation software. Based on the outcomes are possible changes defined that ensure the manufacturability of your product. These changes we will be discussed with you, and added to the offer. In this way, not only Punch Metals is developing a concept that is collaborating with our customers satisfaction the production requirements, but also best fulfills your desired functionality.
At the time a project is awarded to Punch Metals, the engineering department designs the necessary tools using CAD software. We work with external tool shops in Belgium and abroad. Using a clear project to inform you, our customer, periodically on progress. This lists include the status of the various phases of the project tools, including the provision of a so-called “first-out-of-tool” product.
As early as during the construction of the tool we will explain all of the specifications which are necessary for the series production, both in terms of product quality and process. Once the tool has been released by the engineering we test each of these specifications during a 0-series. Possible optimizations of the various specifications are processed, so that the process in detail is prepared and can be made high-quality products in series.
Once approved by the customer, the product is ready for serial production. Based on customer orders, which are processed through EDI, the different production steps are carefully planned so that the products just-in-time delivered to you. The result is not only the highest quality but also high reliability.
Punch Metals is your partner for top-quality sheet-metal working. With over 50 years of experience, we provide not only an excellent and reliable service but above all varied and extensive expertise. We know all there is to know about deep drawing, welding, and laser cutting complex products. Punch Metals offers:
Extensive expertise
In the engineering and production of small and medium production runs of punched, shaped and deep-drawn products.
Advice
All additional sheet metal processing, for example laser cutting, laser welding, welding, bending, etc.
Design
Design and maintenance of tools in house and under our own control.
Opportunities
Very wide range of laser and welding options (both manual and robotic).
Deep drawing Simulations
Very wide range of laser and welding options (both manual and robotic).
Multiple
A large number of surface treatment options for products and welded assemblies. We can also handle the final assembly of components
Operations
Processing of larger products in all types of steel plate in thicknesses from 0.75 mm to 8 mm.
A complete package
A complete range of sheet metal capabilities, many robotic and automated. As a main supplier, Punch Metals also works closely with specialist suppliers of processes or services that cannot be carried out in house.
As a family business, Punch Metals considers continuity and reliability to be self-evident. We have a very solid financial position, a high degree of automation, and a “lean” organization.
