High velocity impact actually
prolongs tool life
... often gets twice the number
of cycles between sharpening!

The high velocity of the Netronics Bullet Press allows your tool to cut using less force. And your tool is in contact with the work for less time, meaning less heat build up.

And, since high velocity impact greatly reduces springback, your work isn't grabbing your tool and creating additional friction on the the return stroke.

With less heat produced during cutting, your tool stays cooler and remains sharp longer. Oil for cooling is not required.

While the abrasive nature of green ceramic severely limits the life of tools and usually necessitates frequent tool changes. Coors, using a Meyerle-design, high velocity electromagnetic press, not only found holes to be cleaner but tool life was greatly extended.

RJF International had developed a system that could punch 1800 holes per stroke in a soft plastic used for battery insulators but due to material softness, the original mechanical presses posed the requirement that all production be done in the winter months, when the plastic was hardened by the cold. An additional production handicap was the frequent sharpening the cutting tool required. By switching to Meyerle-designed, high velocity electromagnetic presses, manufacturing could continue throughout the year (softness of the material was no longer an issue due to the ability of the high velocity press to cut cleanly through soft material) and tool life improved by more than 20 times.

"Enclosed ... are samples of brass cuttings from your press. These cuttings are after the tool had 6.3 million die strokes without resharpening. The shear edge characteristic indicates essentially no tool wear! We see no need to sharpen the die."

"We are utilising your two presses 7 days per week - 24 hours per day. We do not have in-house tool room for die sharpening. Your press technology makes die sharpening unnecessary! To date we have accumulated 12.2 million hits on the first press and 4.6 million on the second press. We have not had to stop running for die sharpening ... Needless to say, tool wear has been non existent."
