Guided Tooling System For Punch Presses
The guided tooling system for punch presses has two 3-1/2 inch station fully guided punch assemblies featuring fully guided strippers and premium high-speed steel slitting punch inserts. This is an improvisation of the Xcel tooling system offered from Mate Precision Tooling. A unique thing about the system is that it guides the tip of the punch relative to the stripper and guides the stripper relative to the punch guide assembly. The guide holds the stripper rigidly while the stripper guides the tip of the punch for high precision, fully guided punching performance. The precise clearances between the punch and the stripper measuring 0.0017 inch (0.04 mm), and the stripper and the guide measuring 0.0006 inch (0.02mm) ensure the fully guided performance. The Mate Xcel fully guided design alone provides these tight tolerances. The tooling has two options, one that accepts Mate M4PM high speed steel inserts for maximum performance when slitting around components, and the second that accepts conventional inch shank Durasteel punches. Both utilise the same Xcel fully guided stripper for interchangeability ease. For the longest tool life, the Xcel slitting punch inserts are manufactured from Mate's exclusive M4PM premium high speed steel.
