Punch and Die Design Options

American Punch Company can adapt stock punch and die designs to meet your specific needs and requirements.

Punch Design Options

We can add extra length to the punch body or to its working length. When a job calls for punching leg up, a double body punch provides both extra length and strength. Adding a shear face reduces the tonnage required in certain applications. Keyways increase accuracy and repetitiveness.

Here is a diagram showing the parts of a punch. Refer to it when discussing the options you need with one of our punch and die experts.

The following diagrams illustrate the types of design modifications we can make for you.
