Quicker Punch-Length Adjustment
with Adjustable Thick Turret Canisters
Mate Precision Tooling Booth 3720
Mate Precision Tooling, Anoka, MN, will intro-
duce its Rapidset adjustable thick turret canisters
for use with Mate Original Style and AMX punch-
press tooling. Rapidset—also
compatible with Amada Stan-
dard, Amada ABS and Wilson
Standard tooling styles—pro-
vides quick tool changes and
makes punch-length adjustment
faster with existing tooling inven-
tories. Features: non-rotating
clamping head with easily
adjustable clamping screw for
setting punch length; textured
Gription canister for ease of
handling; and a preloaded self-contained spring pack that provides consistent stripping pressure, die penetration and reduced slug-pulling. Available in A and B sta- tion canisters.
Also on display: The new XMT12.7A adjustable-length punch for Euromac XMTE10 Multi-Tools. The design allows punch-length adjustment by rotating the punch head. When coupled with XMT12.7A’s standard high-speed steel punches, grind life can be tripled. www.mate.com
