CNC Punching Tungsten is a core capability at VT machining. We combine controlled punching with material-aware setup for Tungsten — an alloy that is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance — to produce parts that meet your specification first time.
CNC Punching Capability for Tungsten
- Sheet thickness 0.5–6 mm
- Hole position repeatability ±0.10 mm
- Punch/die clearance set per material
- Louver, emboss and tap-extrude tooling
How CNC Punching Tungsten Works
A CNC turret presses hardened punches through the Tungsten sheet into matching dies. Punch-to-die clearance is set as a percentage of thickness so the cut edge stays clean and burr is minimal.
Every job begins from your CAD model or 2D drawing. Fixturing and tool paths are planned so the most critical dimensions are produced in the most rigid, repeatable setup. Critical dimensions are checked on the first part and monitored through the run.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete Tungsten components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
CNC Punching Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on Tungsten parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
CNC Punching Tolerances & Surface Finish
Punched Tungsten holds hole-position repeatability around ±0.10 mm across the sheet, with consistent hole quality when punch/die clearance is matched to the gauge.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Design Tips for CNC Punching Tungsten
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. Keeping hole-to-edge and hole-to-hole distances at least 1.5–2× thickness avoids distortion and tearing in punched Tungsten. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Working with Tungsten
Tungsten offers a useful combination of properties: it is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance. Those characteristics shape how we approach punching — from tool and parameter selection to work-holding and coolant.
If your application is sensitive to alloy condition, we agree the specification in writing and document it. Stock is sourced from reputable suppliers so what you order is what you receive.
Applications of CNC Punching Tungsten
CNC Punching of Tungsten supports parts across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor, energy and general industrial sectors. We scale from one-off prototypes to ongoing production while holding the same quality.
