expanded 64-page Mate Trumpf tooling catalog an essential reference tool when
planning their fabricating projects, said a Mate spokesperson.
This catalog contains a comprehensive overview of each of Mate's tooling systems that are compatible with Trumpf punch presses including:
Mate Next Tooling System - high performance tooling system designed to maximize tool life, minimize tool set up times, and dramatically reduce tooling costs.
Mate QuickLock Tooling System - combines the economy of conventional Trumpf style tooling with operating features for quicker tool setups and maximum machine productivity.
Mate Trumpf Style Tooling System - designed to produce high quality piece parts with economy.
Mate Multi Tool System - tooling to suit Trumpf's exclusive range of 5-station, 10-station, 4-station and 6-station multi tool assemblies.
"Included in the new catalog is a 'Product Selector' overview of each Mate tooling system with eight different ratings for each tooling system. Helpful comparisons are made of factors such as quick set up, interchangeability, grind life, ease of use, value and purchase price," said the Mate spokesperson.
"The newly designed page layout simplifies the ordering process by presenting the essential information in an at-a-glance format. Also included in the new catalog: Mate's Maxima coating for increasing tool life two to 10 times; Mate's Slug Free dies that eliminate slug pulling; and Mate's Eurostyle tooling and slitting assemblies for precision and rigidity of guided shearing assemblies. The catalog also contains information on special assembly tools and shapes. Fabricators will find that by integrating formed features into sheet metal components using these tools greatly expands their ability to add value to the punching process.
"The new catalog includes essential information about punch and die maintenance, including grinding wheel specifications, and feed rates for sharpening. In addition, there is comprehensive information about calculating punching force and selecting the correct die clearance. Using the correct die clearance is the single most important contributing factor to achieving extended tool life and maximizing piece part quality. The new catalog provides practical tips on how to achieve this.
"Finally, the new catalog contains a Mate 'Tips and Techniques' section with information on methods for separating parts using long, narrow rectangles, what to do when galling occurs, eliminating bolts and lockwashers, combating material warp, recommended distances between punched holes, plus many more suggestions for cost-effective punching," said the spokesperson.
