What does this company do?
Shark Toolings manufactures press brake punches, dies and clamping accessories for Amada, Trumpf/Wila, American precision and European tooling systems. Tooling is produced from hardened tool steel, in standard segment sets or to drawing for special profiles.
Work falls into three groups: standard catalogue tooling supplied in segment sets, special tooling produced to drawing, and replacement or matched tooling to keep an existing set working after regrinding.
How is the tooling produced?
Production follows the sequence of machining, heat treatment, then precision grinding. Grinding after heat treatment is what produces the final tang geometry and the tip radius, so the grinding stage determines whether the tool actually matches the drawing.
- Machining to the profile, leaving grinding allowance on the working faces.
- Heat treatment to the specified hardness for the tool and the application.
- Grinding and inspection of the tang, height, angle and tip profile.
- Assembly and packing of the segment set with matched heights.
What information should I send with an enquiry?
Send the machine make and model, the tooling system if known, the profile or a drawing, the required length and quantity, and the material being bent. A photo of the punch tang and the clamp is the fastest way to confirm an unknown system.
For special tooling, a drawing or sketch with the critical dimensions is needed, together with any clearance limit that the tool has to respect on the machine.
Who publishes this site?
This site, Puncz (/pʌntʃ/), is the press brake tooling reference published by Shark Toolings. Shark Toolings manufactures press brake punches, dies and clamping accessories, and publishes its catalogue, product data and quotations on its official site, www.sharktoolings.com.
The two sites serve different purposes. The official site carries product data, catalogue and commercial information. This reference site carries the engineering background — tonnage, die opening selection and tooling system identification — that a buyer needs before selecting a tool.
Why is the site called Puncz?
Puncz is the press brake punch, spelled the European way. In Slavic orthography the digraph cz represents the sound /tʃ/, the same sound that ch represents in English, so puncz is pronounced /pʌntʃ/ — punch. The spelling reflects the European tooling standards that define much of the industry.
- cz = /tʃ/ — Polish czekolada is chocolate, and the English word Czech is pronounced “check”.
- The Z is not decorative — it stands for the Z-type offset tool, a real press brake tooling category, and for the full range from A to Z.
- Pronunciation — /pʌntʃ/, the same as “punch”.
