Aerospace

Providing long lasting punches for 1st and 2nd operation processes which are so accurate they require less time to make ready and therefore reduce downtime.

Unmatched Durability

Designed to withstand the rigours of aerospace applications, these 1st and 2nd heading punches offer outstanding productivity and accuracy. Whether it's low or high-volume production, our punches stand resilient, ensuring reliability in every fastener made and our innovative materials give extended productive life.

Beyond Standard Manufacturing

Because our aerospace fastener heading punches last longer, there are fewer changeovers required meaning less machine time lost and a more seamless production of fasteners from start to finish

Innovation for Tomorrow's Aerospace

First and Second Process Punches

Special processes ensure excellent character definition giving very clear detail on the fastener while the surface can be tailored to standard smooth, coarse or polished finishes.

Through extensive research and development we have developed second process punches which will produce ten times more fasteners than comparative punches. The extended punch life reduces set up costs and increases production capability for our customers.
Further innovation has resulted in a new punch to produce fasteners with a non-patented screwdriver recess. This unique, patented process allows smaller quantities of punches to be produced cost-effectively.
