Blanking is a metal forming process involving cutting out a specific shape or contour from a larger sheet or strip of material. During blanking, the punch descends at a high velocity to penetrate the material, shearing it along the cutting edge to create the blank.
Benefits of Blanking With the WinSet Press
Blanking with our high-velocity electromagnetic punch press provides various benefits to our clients, including:
- High precision
- Rapid production
- Clean, burr-free edges
- Sustainability (material savings and energy efficiency)
- Reduced need for secondary operations (e.g., deburring, edge trimming, etc.)
- Enhanced product quality
