Round handheld punches with the following sizes can be delivered immediately. Please contact us using the form below for stock status.

Φ1.00 to 26.00 mm in 1 mm increments, Φ11.28 mm
*Clearance 4μm, alloy tool steel, no blade coating

For example, if you specify a punching diameter other than the above, such as Φ9.5 mm, or if you order a square handheld punch, the product will be build to order and the delivery time will be 5 weeks or longer. Please contact us for details.

Yes, we can lend you a demo machine (Φ10.00 mm, clearance 4μm specification) free of charge so that you can check the usability and processing quality of the Handheld Punch.

We have a service in which you can send your materials to us and have us carry out test processing (for a fee).
Our laboratory engineer will punch out your materials and compile a report, and then we will return the punched products and material scraps to you.

Yes, we have experience with successfully processing several types of all-solid-state battery materials in the past.

We also offer such tools as the punching jig and the cut surface finishing jig for cross-sectional observation samples, particularly for brittle materials that would be shattered by processing with handheld punches.

Please contact us using the form below with any information or questions you may have.

Yes, all of our products are priced in JPY (Japanese Yen), but we will quote the payment amount in US dollars or euros at the exchange rate at the time we receive your quote request.

We recommend periodic cleaning (greasing) depending on the frequency of use. A maintenance kit is included with the product. For usage instructions, please refer to the included instruction manual.

During use, if the sliding feeling is getting rougher and/or the lever becomes difficult to return by itself, please contact us immediately before things get worse.

The warranty period for each product is one year from the date of delivery.

The clearance (gap on one side) between the punch (upper blade) and die (lower blade) can be specified as 4 μm, 3 μm, or 2 μm to best-fit the material properties and required processing quality (*).

A judgement exemplified in specifications selection
[conditions]
Workpiece: Typical cathode/anode electrode material with the total thickness of 300 μm or less
Quality standard: “No burrs by visual inspection”
[Recommended specifications]
→ Clearance 4 μm

*All products in stock are 4 μm specifications. 3- and 2-μm specifications are build to order.

Yes, it is possible if it is related to secondary batteries or needs for advanced material development (such as ultra-precision sample preparation for cross-sectional observation).

Depending on your needs, we can also assign engineers to work with you on a problem-solving project. Please feel free to contact us.

Clean Press
-Cassette type punching jig

The Clean Press, Cassette type punching jig consists of two products: a cassette die and a dedicated press machine. You can change the punching dimensions and shape by replacing the cassette die.

Basically, the product will be delivered after payment is made in advance. We can ship ready-made standard products within one to two days after confirming your payment. Please ask us about their availability by submitting the inquiry form. On the other hand, custom-made products, tailored to your requested size and shape, are produced after order placement. Delivery takes approximately 7 to 9 weeks after payment and final specification agreement, depending on the specifications.

You can choose one of the following options for a material processing test before purchasing the product.

  1. Sending the material to Nogami laboratory
  2. Requesting rental of a demonstration machine

Both of these options are available for free.

Please note that shipping costs and taxes associated with sending the material or lending a demonstration machine are normally borne by both the customer and Nogamigiken or may be borne solely by the customer. Our sales representative will provide you with further details. As a first step, please feel free to contact us using the inquiry form.

Yes, the product will be delivered with an English instruction manual.
Moreover, it also includes a maintenance kit for daily maintenance. If you have any questions or problems when using the product, please feel free to contact us.

Yes, we have experience in processing wet-coated solid electrolytes. However, for thick powder-molded ASSBs, Clean Press using a cassette type punching jig may cause cracking and chipping. To solve this problem, we also provide dedicated jigs capable of handling such molded materials and brittle silicon anode materials. For details, please feel free to contact us via the inquiry form.

Yes, you can. As a product option, you can also add a set of optional tables and a press base raise mount to improve operability for small-volume production. You can try this option when borrowing a demonstration machine, so please feel free to contact us.

It depends on the material, thickness, and punching size of the workpiece. Based on our experience with lithium-ion battery anode materials, many customers performing an average of 2,000 punches per month carry out regrinding maintenance once every 2-3 years.

The warranty period for our products is one year from the date of shipment from our factory. For details on product warranty provisions, please contact us.

Yes, we have experience in selling and exporting our products to the United States, Europe, and other countries. Please feel free to contact us even if your sales or delivery destination is outside Japan.
