Quick change tooling and tool coating products on show at EuroBLECH

Mate Ultra QCT:

Mate Ultra QCT tooling, is quick change, is simple and intuitive to setup, and fully compatible with Mate’s Ultra family of guides and standard canisters. To setup, flip the latch to remove and snap the new insert into place, the punch is keyed at the perimeter of the tool, not the center, providing superior angularity control. The shoulder of the punch remains securely guided by the guide when punching. Another nice feature, only one punch driver is needed for rounds or shapes.

Made from M4PM tool steel, Mate Ultra QCT is proven to be the most durable, longest lasting tool steel in the industry. And it’s coated with SuperMax, Mate’s next generation coating, to minimise wear and preserve fits. Mate Ultra QCT truly revolutionises punch press tooling.

Mate SuperMax Tool Coating:

Enhancing tool performance and extending tool life, Mate’s new SuperMax is a proprietary, next generation coating specifically formulated for punch press tooling. It outperforms currently available premium coatings by two to eight times, depending on the application. Applied using the latest nano-layer technology, SuperMax’s harder, denser film greatly increases wear resistance and has a much lower friction coefficient. Lower friction means less heat build-up, less galling and longer tool life. SuperMax works in a wide range of materials including aluminum, cold rolled galvanised and stainless steels, vinyl coated and fiberglass.

Mate Salvagnini Style ‘P0’:

Designed to accommodate any shape up to 12.50mm (0.492”), Mate’s Salvagnini “P0” fully guided perforating tool has all the quality features you would expect it to. Tight stripper clearance prevents lateral punch movement for assured accurate hole punching. Mate’s specially formulated MPM82 powdered tool steel has superior wear resistance for longest tool life. The fully guided tool is designed for smaller hole sizes in the 7ton stations of Salvagnini punch presses. With this product, Mate now provides users the ideal perforating solution for both the low and high range sizes of the 7ton station.

These can all be seen at EuroBLECH 2016, have a visit with a Mate fabrication professional at booth D158 in Hall 12, in Hanover Germany Exhibition Grounds, 25^th-29^th October.
