Single notching in Milan

The term notching refers to the act of impressing a mark on a surface by pressing a punch, from the Latin “punctio” meaning to cut. This technique in antiquity was used for metalworking and decoration and the production of coins, as well as for the perforation of stamps.

Today, companies such as VMF specialize in punching and single notching in Milan used in mechanics to shear sheet metal using a matrix/punch combined with a servo motor that allows the rotation of the sheet metal disc. The process involves placing the metal disk on the mold and then applying pressure with a punch to shear the sheet metal.
