Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Punching Dies For Thick Plate Fabrication

The punch tip and die button are made from shock-resistant tool steel that withstands the sudden force of hydraulic ram impact. Even with hard structural steel, the cutting edges hold their shape. Operators can punch a batch of plates without frequent re-sharpening. The steel is heat-treated for maximum toughness.

We design the die set with a generous stripping system so slugs don't stick. After each stroke, the stripper plate pushes the material off the punch. This prevents jamming and keeps the workflow steady, especially on a busy fabrication shop floor.

Common jobs include punching bolt holes for bridge gusset plates, crane brackets, and shipbuilding frames. The dies can be custom-sized for slotted holes or special profiles. With proper support, the whole setup completes a clean hole in a few seconds. We can also supply hardened stripper springs for extra-heavy applications.
