If you are looking for a sheet metal company in Hampshire, UK who can CNC punch and laser cut your sheet metal work then please contact us here at V and F Sheet Metal. Whether it’s thin gauge mild steel lighting gear trays like these using banana shaped curved tooling to produce efficient punching of circular profiles or custom cluster tool patterns we have the solution for you to save time and money. Using Trumpf CNC punch presses enables us to be very flexible when it comes to quick set ups for smaller batches of sheet metal work. All the tooling on the machines can be rotated through 360 degrees enabling more CNC punching to be carried out with each tool reducing tool changes and enabling more complex components to be produced in one punching cycle on the machines.

Using a Trumpf 3000 CNC punch press with tapping modules enables us to produce sheet metal work with threads formed at the punching stage. Thicker gauges can be pilot hole pierced and directly tapped in 1.5 seconds per thread. Thinner gauges need to have a plunged form pressed into the sheet first to simulate a thicker gauge and enable more turns of the thread to be formed. These techniques can replace the need to press in anchor rivet or self clinch bushes in production. Again being a fast operation they can save money and have become very popular with our existing customers. If you click on the picture you can see where the added lubricant shows which holes have been tapped on the punch press.
