Summary of Salient Characteristics Across All Tools:
· Station System: All tools are designed for specific turret station sizes (A, B, C, D), which defines their maximum outer dimension and compatibility with the punch press.
· Material Specialization: The tooling is predominantly specified for use with Aluminum (AL) in common thicknesses of .063", .090", and .125".
· Clearance: Dies are quoted with specific clearances (e.g., .0060", .0090", .0120") to match the material being punched, which is critical for achieving optimal hole quality and maximizing tool life.
· Advanced Features:
· Slug Hugger 2: A feature on many dies designed to prevent the punched "slug" from returning to the sheet, which can damage the part and tool.
· Shear Angles: Included on larger punches (Concave Shear or SHR-A) to reduce the required punching force, decrease noise, and improve the quality of the cut.
· Ultima Premium Punch Steel: A proprietary, high-durability steel used for punches to ensure long service life.
· Modularity: Some tools, like the Rolling Rib, use interchangeable assemblies (Punch Wheel) to adapt a single base tool for different material thicknesses, offering operational flexibility.
