Punching

Here at FSM, we are able to complete a range of punching processes, from straightforward hole production to more complex machining including forming or ventilation perforations.

At FSM, we always go the extra mile by sourcing specialist tools in order to complete bespoke requests for our customers to find the perfect solutions for their requirements. If you are searching for sheet metal punching services, FSM are here to help!

With 15 dedicated tool stations, our Trumpf punch press can perform various functions in any one set-up, resulting in faster turnarounds and a more streamlined production process. Trumpf machines have the option of forming metal parts and tapping; the punching head is able to rotate tools in any angular direction and position. We have a highly-trained team capable of operating the punching statio, ensuring production on projects is continuously progressing.

Here at FSM, we are capable of nesting numerous items on one sheet, which provides a range of benefits. This helps to minimise production time, reduce lead time and optimise material usage. FSM work to precise tolerances, striving to offer our customers the highest quality fabrications at the most cost-effective price.
