2. FOR YOUR INSPIRATION!
Many fabricating jobs go beyond just
manufacturing parts; these jobs often
require:
• Joining or positioning of parts
• Other operations
For joining or positioning of parts,
fabricators typically use fasteners or welds.
Other operations require steps away from
the punch press. While effective, they add
secondary operations and material costs to
the job.
Many of these operations can be done
using the punch press. Applications are
available that lower manufacturing costs
and speed time to delivery.
This folio shows actual customer solutions
developed by Mate that eliminated
secondary operations. We hope they
inspire you to do more with your punch
press.
