Sheet Metal Enclosures
Sheet Metal Enclosures Today I was walking through the shop and happened across this common sight here at Valley Precision. Stacks and stacks of metal enclosures that are punched, deburred, formed, welded, fasteners inserted, and ready to ship! There is something satisfying about seeing multiples of the same product stacked neatly in a row. Stacking products neatly also offers a quick way to glance at each part and make sure they are all the same, have the same fasteners, and are exactly alike. Consistency, repeatability and quality go hand-in-hand at Valley Precision. If you have parts like this that need to be manufactured, by all means get in touch with us! Dan D
VIDEO of Super-fast punching on the Strippitt 1250H
Today, we punched at full speed on .048 galvanized steel material. The punches per minute are probably 300-500. It’s such a nice sound to hear. The video is a bit loud, but it’s a good visualization of why punching sheet metal can be significantly faster than laser cutting for rectilinear shapes. (Circles, rectangles, squares, etc…) Punching is great for perforated patterns, blanking, and forms such as louvers, tabs, countersinks, and bridges. Thanks for watching!
