How do I determine the best punch size tooling?

 

Melting holes (round, slotted, or shaped) is a process with a lot of variables. A 1/4" punch tooling may produce a hole that is either larger or smaller than 1/4" due to variables such as:

- material type (nylon, polyester, polypropylene, etc.

- material thickness

- punching dwell time

- material  makeup (woven, knitted, coarse, fine, etc.)

- punch tooling temperature

- pressure or force applied to the material

​

For this reason, it is difficult to maintain a very fine hole size tolerance. Our standard thermal punches are offered in 1/32" (0.8mm) size increments. Changing one or more of the variables listed above could easily change the finished size of your hole by this amount.

​

We suggest that you send us samples to determine the best tooling size for your application.

Webcutter Hinges

Our hinges are one of the most important components of the Webcutter hot knife. They must allow free movement of the rotating knife without excess play for hundreds of thousands of cycles. These hinges have gone through several design improvements over the years, as shown below. To adjust them, note the video to the right of the hinge type.
