Punch Tooling

Tipco carries a wide range of standard head-type and ball-lock punches as well as standard press-fit die buttons. Standard products are available in both inch and metric sizes. Tipco is also a leading supplier of True Set® standard ball-lock, traditional headed and multi-head retainers to customers around the world. In addition, Tipco will manufacture special punches, dies and retainers according to your specifications. Beyond traditional punch tooling, we have jig grinding and wire EDM capabilities which allow us to “manufacture to print” within a highly predictable lead time. For more demanding applications, we welcome the challenge to consider new alloy or coating systems that may be outside of our traditional materials. Frequently at Tipco, we work together with customers to extend tool life or develop prototype tooling for a new application. By partnering with our customers and successfully implementing tooling solutions, we forge long-term relationships and become a more valuable supplier.

*Tipco's punches and die buttons are furnished in M2, a wear resistant high speed steel. Although many punch tooling suppliers offer punches in M2 and die buttons in A2, Tipco has standardized on M2 to simplify the ordering process and to offer additional value to our customers.

Alternate materials are available upon request.
