Industry: Metalworking, metal forming and metal stamping

Metal forming and stamping operations typically call for applying an even coating of drawing compound or stamping lubricant to metal blanks, plates or sheets before they go into the press. Loaders, stackers, feeders and de-stackers must deal with the weight of metal plates, which can be considerably more than other materials like wood, fibre and foam. Union Tool makes many machines for handling and processing metal sheets and blanks.
