Anoka, Minnesota USA: EuroBLECH 2022 starts at the Mate Precision Technologies exhibit at Stand D158, Hall 12 in Hannover, Germany, October 25-28, 2022. Mate sales engineers will demonstrate features and benefits of the full line of solutions for punching.
Mate QCT™ Quick Change Tooling Line
Mate QCT™ thick turret tooling takes insert-style punching systems to a whole new level! The tool-less punch retention mechanism makes changing the punch insert a breeze: flip the durable latch to remove and snap the new insert into place. It’s that easy! No tools to use, break or lose to change the punch insert. QCT’s durable design is designed to minimize effort and maximize uptime.
Ultra QCT is fully compatible with Mate’s Ultra® family of guides and canisters. Mate Metric QCT is fully compatible with Mate’s Ultra® family of guides and canisters, Mate’s Original Style guides, spring packs and Rapidset™ canisters. These punches are fully interchangeable with Amada NCT, NEX and Z-Tooling systems, as well as Wilson Thick Turret Metric punches. Also available are AMX QCT™ for Amada air blow systems and MXC QCT™ for Wilson Series 90 systems.
Mate Versadie HD™ Improves Slitting Thick Materials –
Has Unique Design Features
Mate Versadie HD™ includes several unique design features for clamp clearing solutions. First, there is no need to replace the entire die with replaceable die inserts. Versadie inserts are designed to allow for the greatest lengths currently available in the industry, accommodating lengths up to 4.560” (115.82mm) for E Stations and 3.560” (90.42mm) for D Stations. With its tighter tolerances of the insert to the holder, Versadie has superior overall quality.
Versadie HD offers improved slitting in thicker materials that require more than 0.016” (0.406mm) total die clearance. The base incorporates a hat die feature to better withstand the punching of heavier materials. The die inserts are fully interchangeable with the standard Versadie.
For superior performance and longevity, all Versadie slitting die inserts are made from MPM82 tool steel. Designed for use in high performance tooling systems, MPM82 is a high speed, particle metallurgy steel intended to provide high value and exceptional versatility making perfect for slitting operations. For maximum longevity, the die body allows shimming after the insert is sharpened during routine maintenance. There’s no need for special shims either; simply use standard thick turret die shims.
EuroBLECH 2022 brings a wealth of innovation and technology solutions to Hannover October 25-28, 2022. The event also provides educational sessions and expert-led presentations covering the latest trends and technology in the metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing industries.
