Cutting and Punching Machines

Flat cable, insulating paper, tape and formed insulation components are cut to length and punched in the same pass — a hole, a notch or a locating feature that a guillotine alone cannot produce. The process is closer to a press operation than to wire cutting: the sizing inputs are the material thickness, the tooling geometry and the total force the punch needs, and the cut quality is judged on burr height rather than on length tolerance. If your part is cut only and carries no hole or notch, the tape cutting machines are the better match. Tooling is made to your drawing, and a first-article sample is run before shipment.
