Frequently asked questions about our coils, sheets, perforated parts and precision sheet metal parts
Our solutions
Yes. TPS works with several families of metals. Feasibility does, however, depend on the grade, metallurgical condition, thickness, width and required pattern.
For a particular material, a feasibility study confirms the production conditions.
Yes.
The pattern geometry, hole diameter or shape, pitch, layout and solid areas can all be studied to suit the application.
A configuration that is not a catalogue standard is not necessarily impossible to industrialise.
Yes.
The width and position of the edges can be defined to suit your process. This is particularly useful when the strip has to be guided, driven, cut or formed after perforation.
Yes.
TPS also carries out toll perforation on customer-supplied material.
You send us your material in coil form, with its specifications and requirements, and we perforate it in line with your specifications.
This solution is particularly suitable when you already have a specific material, a qualified grade or a supply chain you want to keep.
Yes, subject to technical validation.
Perforation changes the mechanical behaviour of the strip. The pattern, open area, hole position and material properties must therefore be studied in relation to the final geometry and the deep-drawing process.
Yes.
Our organisation allows us to study specific needs and batch sizes that do not necessarily fit very high-volume production.
The aim is to find the most cost-effective way of industrialising your requirement, rather than imposing a minimum batch size purely for internal reasons.
Yes.
A drawing, a CAD file, a technical specification or a sample can all serve as the basis for our study.
If your requirement is not yet fully defined, TPS can also help define the technical solution: material, thickness, pattern, pitch, edges, tolerances and packaging.

Yes.
The width and position of the edges can be defined to suit your process. This is particularly useful when the sheet has to be cut, bent, formed or assembled after perforation.

If your requirement is not yet fully defined, TPS can also help define the technical solution: material, thickness, pattern, pitch, edges, tolerances, levelling and sheet metal operations.
Our solutions
Yes.
TPS can study the production of the part from raw material to finishing, integrating every operation needed to obtain the finished product.
A drawing, a CAD file, a specification or a sample can all serve as the basis for our study.
Yes.
TPS also carries out contract manufacturing on material you supply.
We check that the material is compatible with the planned operations and agree the manufacturing conditions with you.
Yes.
TPS can handle a single step of the process when that is what the customer needs.
We can also take on several successive operations, right through to complete finishing of the part.
Yes, depending on the geometry and process.
The order of operations can have a major impact on the final quality of the part. TPS works out with you the most suitable manufacturing sequence based on the material, the perforation and the required geometry.
Yes.
Perforation can be regular, with a defined pattern and pitch, but it can also take a specific shape or a layout suited to the required function.
Random perforation can also be studied when the application allows it.
Yes.
TPS manufactures to order and can study specific requirements in small, medium or large quantities.
The aim is to define an industrialisation approach suited to the quantity and the budget constraints of the project.
Yes.
The level of finishing is defined according to your needs: from a simple perforated and cut part, to a formed or deep-drawn part, up to a part combining several sheet metal, assembly and finishing operations.
Because it limits the number of supplier interfaces and gives you a single contact for managing production.
TPS can consider the whole process to find a solution that makes sense both technically and economically.
Our solutions
Yes.
TPS can study the manufacture of a part from a 2D drawing, a CAD file, a specification or a sample.
Yes.
TPS can handle a single operation or take on several steps through to delivery of the finished part.
Yes.
Cutting, bending and welding can be combined in a single manufacturing process to supply a part or sub-assembly that is ready to fit.
Yes.
Depending on the treatment required, TPS can include this operation in the overall supply of the part, working with specialist partners suited to the project requirements.
Yes.
TPS can study one-off requirements, prototypes, and small, medium and large series.
Inspection is defined according to the product requirements.
Checks can be dimensional, geometric, visual or functional, according to the drawing, the specification and the applicable standards.
Yes.
Tolerances are defined according to the requirements of the drawing or specification. Where general tolerances apply, the corresponding standard can be included in the part definition.
