Expanded punch tooling system

MATE has announced the expansion of its XMT tooling system with the addition of the XMT 12.7mm punch, stripper, and Slug Free die to suit the new XMTE10 multi tool.

Designed for use in the new 10-station Euromac XMTE10 Multi Tool, this XMT 12.7mm tooling will accommodate round and shaped tools with a diagonal dimension up to 0.500 inch (12.70mm).

The new Mate XMTE10 Multi Tool assemblies are configured to accept the following:

* 2x XMT 24mm punches, strippers and dies (rounds or shapes).

* 4x XMT 12.7mm punches, strippers and dies (rounds or shapes).

* 4x XMT 12.7mm punches, strippers and dies (rounds only).

The XMTE10 is an expansion of the exclusive range of Euromac multi tools from Mate that already includes the 6-station XMTE6 multi tool system.

The XMT 12.7mm multi tool, tooling, and existing line of XMT 24mm tooling is designed with numerous features for superior punching performance including high speed steel (HSS) punches for exceptional interval between regrinds.

Punches have a 1/4 degree back taper and near polished flanks to reduce friction and eliminate galling. Hardened strippers feature a tight clearance of 0.0017 inch (0.04mm) for best punch guiding.

Dies include Slug Free geometry to eliminate slug pulling and also feature uniform clearance radii in die corners to improve piece part quality.

“The expansion of Mate’s XMT tooling and the introduction of Euromac’s XMTE10 multi tool gives Euromac users another set of options in planning their fabricating projects,” reports Andy Spence Parsons, Mate marketing manager.

“With Mate’s full range of tooling systems for Euromac punch presses, users can choose exactly the tooling that will suit their projects best,” he said.
