Slotting Tool II Info

A huge issue with all sheet metal manufactures is how to reduce costs. Significant savings can be made if we can find ways of reducing secondary operations.

Traditionally with punching, secondary operations such as fettling or de-burring are required on the punched edge of a component. This is due to witness marks left by the punching operation.

The Slotting Tool II procedure is based upon the slug being positioned inside the die and sheared off by a slug cutter located in the die. The process is repeated along the length of the slot until the last hit, where a second and deeper bottom position is required.

This process eliminates any witness marks, leaving a high quality edge responding to manufacturing requirements for cash dispensers or fax and photocopy machines.

The Slotting Tool II reduces secondary operations by providing a "laser edge finish".
