Punch

Punches produced by NHK Precision are called header punches and one of the dies used for screw manufacturing.
In the screw header processing, the punches are used to form the screw head and its recess to be driven with a screwdriver, which is one of the critical elements of the fastener.
NHK Precision manufactures screw header punches by drawing on the plastic working technology to produce high speed tool steel by cold forming.
The punches are used for manufacturing of screw products for a wide variety of applications ranging from ultra small screws for smart phones to bolt-size screws for automobiles.

The punches have been popularly used by customers since 1966 with the name of NHK High Speed Steel Punches.
Based on its knowhow accumulated in the long years, NHK Precision continues to develop and supply many different types of long-life punches.
