How long does it take to process carbide punch?

carbide punch are relatively simple components, and the production time for batch manufacturing of mold accessories is usually 7-15 days. For urgent sampling, it can be processed within 1-3 days. The specific processing time needs to be evaluated based on the drawings of the carbide punch, and it is influenced by the following factors:

1. Product structure: The complexity of the structure determines the required machining processes. Common machining processes for carbide punch  grinding (such as surface grinding, outer circle grinding, inner circle grinding, internal and external circle grinding, optical curve grinding, centerless grinding), electrical discharge machining, wire EDM, CNC turning, coating, etc. If it involves a simple grinding process and requires urgent handling, it can be completed in 1-3 days for small quantities. If the evaluation indicates more than three processes, it may take 5 days for a small quantity and more than 7 days for four processes. Pins with more processes are relatively rare.

2. Quantity: If you require a large quantity of carbide punch, the processing time may be extended. Batch production usually takes more time to handle.

3. Carbide grade and material: If a specific carbide brand is specified, it may take a longer time to purchase the materials. In many cases, the lead time for material procurement exceeds the processing time. We typically use tungsten steel brands manufactured in China and Taiwan, which have the shortest impact on the processing time.

4. Specific processes: If it involves specific and rare machining processes, the processing time may be extended, such as some special coatings.

5. Product requirements: If high precision is required for the carbide punch, there is a higher risk of scrap, especially when scrap occurs in the final process, rendering previous efforts futile.

6. Order situation of the machining manufacturer: Different machining manufacturers may have different workloads and delivery schedules. If the machining manufacturer has a substantial number of orders, the processing time may be prolonged.

Based on these factors, the processing time for carbide punch can range from several days to several weeks. It is advisable to consult a trusted machining manufacturer for the specific processing time and delivery capabilities. It is also important to evaluate the historical delivery performance of the carbide pin manufacturer to ensure accuracy. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.
