By incorporating the cutting of thicker steels and aluminum, Sharples gains versatility with it’s tooling.  Examples include an aluminum heat-sealing fixture for a blister sealing operation and a female blanking tool for luggage tags.  Sharples can cut aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, among other materials. We have the knowledge and experience to adjust settings for the best edge quality.
