Maxitec introduce Mate punches and strippers

Features of the Mate punching and stripping tools include:

• Internal lubrication within the punch guide and external lubrication between the punch guide and the turret bore
• Internal lubrication of all critical tool components helps prevent galling, slivering and slug pulling
• Lubrication functions are computer controlled within the turret press and can be programmed and regulated according to punching requirements

• Increases tool performance and flexibility with extended tool life while allowing use with existing systems
• For customers with special application needs, optional Maxima coatings and Nitride treatments are available
• Maxima coating acts as a barrier between the punch and sheet metal, greatly improving stripping 
• Mate’s AMX punches combine with hardened and ground stripper guides to reduce galling, wear and heat, ultimately extending both tool and turret life
• High tool performance, superior dimensional accuracy and maximum tool life due to the precision machined of premium M2 high speed steel using Mate’s specially developed heat treatment process
