Manufacturing Process Summary
Drawing and requirement review; material and process planning; precision machining; treatment where required; precision grinding and finishing; inspection against agreed requirements.
Surface Engineering
Surface Treatment Requirements
Surface-treatment requirements are reviewed according to punch material, workpiece material, geometry, wear conditions, and required surface behavior.
TiCN
TiCN requirements may be submitted for review where wear or friction is an application concern.
DLC
DLC requirements may be reviewed where friction, adhesion, or material pickup is relevant.
Polishing
Polishing requirements may be specified for working surfaces where surface condition or release behavior is important.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information is needed to quote a precision punch?
Provide the drawing or part reference, revision, quantity, material, hardness, surface treatment, critical dimensions, application conditions, and inspection requirements.
Can HESENT support both standard and custom punches?
HESENT provides solutions for standard stamping punches and drawing-based custom punches. Final availability is confirmed after reviewing the specification and quantity.
Can I request a standard punch using a part number or BOM?
Yes. Submit the part number or BOM together with the applicable standard, key dimensions, and any substitution restrictions so the requirement can be reviewed correctly.
Can custom punches be reviewed from my drawing?
Yes. Include the controlled drawing and revision, material, hardness, surface treatment, critical tolerances, and required quantity.
When should a carbide punch be considered?
Carbide may be considered where wear conditions or edge-retention requirements justify it. Geometry, unsupported length, alignment, impact risk, and mating die conditions must also be evaluated.
What should I provide for a progressive die punch inquiry?
Provide the punch drawing, station information or strip layout where available, workpiece material and thickness, clearance, press speed, lubrication, current failure mode, and quantity.
What precision capability can HESENT support?
Capability depends on punch geometry, size, material, heat treatment, surface treatment, datum structure, and inspection method. Required tolerances should be identified on the drawing and confirmed during technical review.
Are material certificates and inspection reports available?
Documentation requirements should be specified in the RFQ. Available material, process, and inspection documents will be confirmed during quotation.
