Mate Precision Tooling announces introduction of its new AMX™ ABS tooling with special lubrication features and High Speed Steel, designed to extend tool life while ensuring quality punching. Mate’s punches and strippers are 100% compatible with Amada ABS assemblies and holders, offering customers a superior replacement tooling alternative.
Benefits of the Mate AMX ABS tooling include internal lubrication within the punch guide and external lubrication between the punch guide and the turret bore. This internal lubrication of all critical tool components helps prevent galling, slivering and slug pulling. The AMX ABS lubrication functions are computer controlled within the turret press and can be programmed and regulated according to punching requirements.
Mate’s AMX tooling system increases tool performance and flexibility with extended tool life while allowing use with existing systems. For customers with special application needs, optional Maxima™ coatings and Nitride treatments are available. Maxima is a lubricious coating that acts as a barrier between the punch and sheet metal, greatly improving stripping.
