Fine blanking presses are precision machines used for cutting and punching small and thin materials such as foils, metal sheets, plastics, rubber and other materials. These presses typically operate hydraulically or mechanically and are capable of processing materials as thin as a few thousandths of an inch (a few microns). Fine blanking presses can be available in a variety of sizes and capacities, and are usually equipped with special blanking dies tailored to the desired shape and size of the end product. These presses may also be equipped with automatic feeding systems, waste disposal units and other special features to increase productivity and accuracy. Fine blanking presses are used in a variety of industries, including electronics, medical, automotive, aerospace, watchmaking, jewelry, and precision parts and components manufacturing. The use of fine blanking presses enables precise and efficient production of small and thin parts in large quantities, which can lead to higher productivity, quality and lower production costs.
