Metric station punch drivers added to quick change system
The new QCT Metric A & B Station Punch Drivers have been announced by Mate with immediate availability.These long stem punches are also known as Mate Original Style or Amada Style. Designed for easier, faster setups, these new A & B Station punch drivers use Mate’s proven QCT punch retention system. It’s simple and intuitive. Also, QCT Metric A & B Station Punch Drivers simplify tooling inventory. These universal drivers may be used on rounds or shapes.
QCT Punch Inserts are made from Mate’s M4PM steel, the longest lasting tool steel in the industry. They are keyed at the perimeter for improved angularity control and have a .0770” (19,56) SBR for added grind life. When punching, the shoulder of the punch remains securely guided.
Adding to long-lasting performance, the driver portion (below the stem) is made from high speed steel. And it comes standard with Mate’s proprietary next generation SuperMax coating for extended life. This robust design has been proven in extensive tests with competitive tooling.
The compatible and ‘future proof’ Ultra QCT Metric A & B station design is fully compatible with:
• Mate’s Ultra family of guides and standard canisters.
• Mate’s Original Style guides and Rapidset canisters.
• Mate’s Original Style guides and spring packs.
• Fully interchangeable with Amada NCT, NEX and Z-Tooling systems as well as Wilson thick turret metric punches.
From a cost/value perspective, Mate’s QCT Metric A & B Station punch drivers have an overall lower price because of their design and manufacture with premium, longer-lasting materials.
