Louver Profile Grille Punch and Die Making

LOUVER PROFILE Grill Louver Punch and Die Making

Alloy Steel Customization

They handle high‑end precision tool steel milling and hardening, regularly working with premium grades like Böhler K110 (D2 equivalent), K720, W100, and W302 to meet high wear‑resistance specifications.

Global Operations & Infrastructure

The company operates production facilities and logistical branches across multiple regions to support manufacturing, defense, and fabrication procurement pipelines:

• Regional Supply Branches: United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Oman, Canada, Georgia

TFI Co. (@tficompany) is an international heavy industrial manufacturer founded in 1965. The company specializes in precision engineering, heat treatment, and supply of industrial steel blades, machine knives, and custom press tools.

Material Selection

Typically machined from high‑carbon, high‑chromium tool steels such as D2, O1, or A2 to withstand intense sheet metal shearing pressures.

Machining

The custom profiles defined by variables OH, PR, and R are carved out using highly accurate multi‑axis CNC mills or Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM).

Hardening (Heat Treat)

The completed punch and die are heat‑treated to an ideal hardness (typically 58–62 HRC) to retain their sharp cutting edges over long production cycles.

Finish Grinding

Precision surface grinding ensures perfect tool alignment when bolted onto the press via the Horizontal/Vertical Mounting Centers (MH / MV).

Progression and Step Pitch

Dictated by Louver Pitch (P) and No. of Louvers (N), determining how far the stock material indexes between press strokes.

Key Dimensions Needed for Making the Die Set

To manufacture the male punch and female die cavity, the fabrication shop will explicitly pull data from your table variables:

• Louver Blade Profile: Formed by the Louver Opening Height (OH), Louver Projection (PR), and the Corner Radius (R). These variables dictate the exact CNC milling toolpath needed to cut the active forming contours into the die steel block.
• Cutting & Shear Width: Governed by Louver Area Width (LW). The die edge requires a sharp cutting clearance calculated directly against your Sheet Thickness (T) to prevent structural burrs or tearing.

The engineering drawing acts as the core specification sheet required to machine a custom press brake or stamping die set capable of shearing and stretching sheet metal into ventilation louvers.
