Mate tooling for sheet metal punch presses

The economy tier: the full range of replacement tooling for Trumpf punch presses, with close tolerances and premium tool steels.

Components

• punches
• dies
• strippers
• alignment rings and accessories

Size 1

punch range 0.80–30.00 mm

Punches

• premium high-speed tool steel, high abrasion resistance
• 1/4° back taper and near-polished flanks
• up to 3.00 mm grind life on 6.35 mm material
• 74.00 mm standard length, 77.00 mm extended

Stripper

• push-on urethane: quiet, non-marring even on polished aluminum
• or a hardened tool steel machine stripper, keyed for 45° settings

Dies

• chrome air-hardened tool steel
• up to 1.50 mm grind life
• double-cut die opening

Alignment ring

shock-resistant tool steel, precision machined and ground

Tool cartridges for TRUMPF® TruPunch machines that accept the new automatic-style stripper.

Compatibility

TRUMPF® TruPunch machines that accept the new automatic-style stripper: 200, 500R, 600L, 1000, 2000, 2010L, 2020R, 3000, 3000L, 5000R, 6000L

Construction

lightweight polymer and steel design

Supply

cartridges and die plates, as an assembly or separately

• OEM compatibility: full

The premium tier of the Trumpf-compatible line: Mate's highest rating for tool life, cost, and ease of use.

Compatibility

• Size 40: 0.80–40.00 mm punch diagonal
• Size 76: 40.03–76.36 mm
• compatible with existing conventional strippers and dies

Insert materials

• Size 40: M4PM™ (particle-metallurgy high-speed steel), at least 50% more wear resistance than other manufacturers' conventional high-speed steel, per Mate-commissioned wear-index testing
• sizes above ~40 mm: M2 HSS

Precision shim system

once 0.118"(3.00mm) has been ground off the punch, a shim installed between insert and holder restores the assembly to its original overall length

Urethane stripper (Size 40)

push-on: positive stripping without sheet marking

• Maxima™ coating: available as an option
• Mounting: captive draw bolt + integral alignment features: no separate alignment fixture needed
• SLUG FREE® die geometry: optional

The shim system is the mechanism behind the cost savings: Mate's own cost comparison shows a single punch insert lasting as long as multiple standard punches, because the assembly length is restored after every 3.00 mm ground off, instead of consuming the entire punch. The recommended torque for the 8 mm draw bolt is 33 Nm, per Mate's dedicated installation sheet: an older figure in the general catalog (22 Nm) appears to be a conversion error and should not be used.

A mid tier: combines the economy of conventional Trumpf-style tooling with fast alignment through a key built into the punch.

Compatibility

• Size 1: 0.76–30.00 mm
• Size 2: up to 76.464 mm, across four sub-ranges
• the QuickLock™ Universal Alignment Ring is also compatible with conventional (non-QuickLock) Trumpf-style Size 2 punches

Materials

• Size 1: M4PM™ standard
• larger sizes: HSS, with Maxima™ or Nitride treatment optional

Alignment key

hardened and ground, built into the punch: on the shank (diagonals up to 50.80mm) or on the shoulder (above 50.80mm)

Universal Alignment Ring

• precision-machined keyway
• precision-ground upper and lower contact surfaces
• shock-resistant tool steel

Die regrind life

up to 0.059"(1.50mm)

• Die opening: double-cut: opening and orientation slot cut in one operation

Urethane strippers come in two styles: Push-On (diagonals up to 50.80 mm, locks onto the punch and alignment ring) or Screw-On (for shaped punches, fixed to the punch shoulder with a screw), the choice depends on tool size and shape.

Mate's own "most cost-effective slitting tool solution": insert-based, fully OEM compatible.

Compatibility

• Size 56: 19.98–55.88 mm
• Size 76: 56.01–76.08 mm

Materials

punch insert and die insert, both M4PM™: standard, not optional

Die clearance

11 discrete steps, 0.10–0.60 mm, in 0.05 mm increments

Available shapes

• rectangle
• oval
• dovetail
• trapezoid

Tool holder

• with integral alignment ring (fast setup)
• or with a separate, heavy-duty alignment ring (adds manual angle-setting flexibility)

A technical detail verified directly in Mate's own catalogs: a Trumpf slitting insert at "maximum length" is actually 0.12 mm shorter than its nominal label; a part labeled 56.00 mm is actually 55.88 mm. Mate's LongLife™ tooling is sized to this real, as-built length, not the nominal label; ordering the literal nominal length triggers a special-order upcharge and is not guaranteed by Mate.

Deburring right at the press, using the same ball mechanism as Mate's Rollerball™ forming tools.

Mechanism

a special ball, mounted in both the upper and lower part of the tool, pushes the burr away and creates a radius on the cut edge, including on small corners

Compatible materials

• mild steel
• stainless steel
• aluminum: no thickness limit specified by Mate

Complete set

three springs and a spacer (reversible on the Ultraform variant), for tensioning appropriate to the material

Mate's documented workflow: the slitting operation leaves a burr on the underside of the cut, and the Rollerball Deburr™ tool is then run along the same line, pushing the burr away and creating a radius on the edge. Reduces the risk of hand cuts from handling sheet with burrs, a real safety benefit, on top of edge quality.

Eliminates a press-brake operation for small parts: the tool scores a bend line, the part is bent by hand.

Typical applications

• target industries listed by Mate: aerospace, appliances, commercial furniture, electronics enclosures (low-stress applications), food service equipment/refrigeration, HVAC, lighting
• interlocking tabs that lock two parts together, useful for field installation or repair
• multiple or decorative bends, combined with punched louvers on the same panel

Material thickness

under 1.50 mm (16 gauge) as a general limit: design variations available for thicker material, on request

Maximum recommended bend-line length

300 mm

Bend angle

• the tool angle must be specified exactly at order time, matching the desired bend angle
• bends greater than 90° are not recommended

Available configurations

• Bend Up: scores the top of the sheet
• Bend Down: scores the bottom

Parts can stay flat for shipping and be bent by hand right before final assembly: saves packing space and eliminates a separate press-brake step for small parts or short runs.

Keep in mind: Not a replacement for a press brake in volume production, or for parts with tight bend-angle accuracy requirements.

A controlled break line, scored on both faces of the sheet: clean manual separation, no secondary deburring step.

Material thickness

• minimum 0.61 mm
• maximum 1.52 mm

Maximum recommended snap-line length

300 mm

• Tonnage restrictions: none known, per Mate
• Compatibility: all tooling styles and station sizes, per Mate's data sheet

Practical uses documented by Mate: a temporary paint hook (the part runs through the paint line still attached, then snaps off), a press-brake back-stop locator for small parts (snapped off after the operation), and breaking a punched skeleton into smaller, easier-to-handle scrap.

Keep in mind: Will not work as intended on material thicker than the tool was designed for; on Trumpf presses it is classified as tool type 13 (embossing) in programming.

The flagship of the Thick Turret line: Mate's own comparison chart rates it highest on overall value, cost, and regrind life.

Max. material thickness recommended by Mate (standard system)

• aluminum 3.99 mm
• mild steel 3.99 mm
• stainless 2.90 mm (stations A–D)

Extra regrind life vs. Original Style

• 0.118"(3.00mm) on A/B stations
• 0.212"(5.38mm) on C/D/E stations

Usable regrind life, comparative example

• station B, 1.50 mm material, 3.00 mm die penetration: 0.408"(10.36mm) with Ultra® stripper, vs. 0.170"(4.32mm) with Original Style stripper
• stations C/D/E, same conditions: 0.512"(13.00mm) with Ultra® stripper

"Click" length adjustment

• 0.006"(0.15mm)/click on station A
• 0.008"(0.20mm)/click on stations B/C/D/E
• no shims or separate tools

Back taper

1/4° + near-polished flanks: reduces friction and galling

Lubrication

internal and external spiral grooves

Guides

hardened, ground: reduce turret bore wear

Maxima™ coating

available as an option: zirconium titanium nitride (ZrTiN), recommended for 3000- and 5000-series aluminum, galvanized sheet, stainless steel, and materials where lubricant can't be used; Mate cites real field tests with 2 to 10 times longer tool life

SLUG FREE® die regrind life

up to 0.125"(3.20mm)

• SLUG FREE® dies: standard: eliminates slug pulling, reduces tool breakage, improves hole quality
• Interchangeable with existing OEM inventory

Ultra TEC® punches are fully interchangeable with existing OEM tooling inventories (Wilson HP™/HP2™/WLS®, Amada Standard, Amada ABS, Amada Z-Standard/Z-ABS, Amada NEX, Wilson Nisshinbo Multi Tool, and others), per Mate's own compatibility matrix.

The only tooling designed specifically for Euromac™ punch presses: Mate states OEM status for Euromac.

Compatibility

• Euromac FMTE6 and FMTE10 multi-tool punch holders
• the adjustable XMT12.7A variant: fully compatible with FMTE10 units manufactured from June 2012 on
• on older FMTE10 models: compatible with only 4 of the 10 keyed stations

Available sizes

• XMT 12.7 mm (standard and adjustable)
• XMT 24 mm (standard and adjustable)

Max. material thickness recommended by Mate

• aluminum 5.00 mm
• mild steel 5.00 mm
• stainless 2.49 mm (both sizes, 12.7 and 24 mm)

Materials

• premium high-speed steel (punch)
• hardened, aircraft-grade alloy steel punch head (adjustable variants)

Adjustable punch

• rotating the head changes the overall length, without removing the tool from the holder
• one full rotation = 1.25 mm (XMT12.7A) or 1.00 mm (XMT24A)
• Mate states up to 3 times more regrind life than a fixed punch, and up to 9.00 mm total regrind life (varies with material)

Stripper clearance

• 0.04 mm for shapes
• 0.06 mm for rounds: tight guiding

SLUG FREE® die regrind life

0.059"(1.50mm)

Available coatings

• SuperMax™
• Maxima™
• Nitride: for extreme applications

XMT™ and MT™ tooling are not interchangeable: XMT™ is specific to Euromac FMTE6/FMTE10 holders, MT™ is the general-purpose line for other Mate multi-tool holders. Confirm your holder model before ordering.

"The superior alternative" for Wilson HP™ tooling users: 100% compatible, with the option to fit Ultra TEC®/Ultra XT™ guides as well.

Compatibility

• 100% with Wilson HP™, HP™ WLS®, HP™ ABS (formerly Series 90®)
• fits Ultra TEC®/Ultra XT™ guides with an adapter or pin swap

Materials

DuraSteel™: high-speed steel with increased vanadium and tungsten content, 100% longer between regrinds than conventional tool steel

Maxima™ coating

available as an option: zirconium titanium nitride (ZrTiN), recommended for 3000- and 5000-series aluminum, galvanized sheet, stainless steel, and materials where lubricant can't be used; Mate cites real field tests with 2 to 10 times longer tool life

Punch orientation

hardened double-D key

• SLUG FREE® dies: standard: eliminates slug pulling, reduces tool breakage, improves hole quality

Market note: on A/B stations, MXC punch availability may be restricted in certain countries for patent licensing reasons (per a list Mate publishes, covering several EU and North American markets). Romania does not appear on that list, but we recommend confirming directly with Mate before ordering.

Keep in mind: Fitting MXC C/D/E punches into Ultra TEC®/Ultra ABS® guides requires a dedicated HP™ adapter; shaped MXC ABS Style B-station punches cannot be adapted to Ultra XT™ guides: Ultra TEC only.

An adjustable-length tool holder with interchangeable inserts: buy one holder, swap only the insert for each form.

Available stations

• B (1-1/4")
• C (2")
• D (3-1/2")
• E (4-1/2")

Adjustment below the shoulder

maintains the ram-to-tool gap at top of stroke: eliminates the risk of the ram striking the tool and damaging the turret

Standard angle settings

• 0°
• 90°
• 180°
• 270°

Guides

hardened, with lubrication grooves

• Insert interchangeability: every insert works in any of the three holders: Ultraform®, Ultraform XT™, Ultraform FX™

The Ultraform® holder works as a platform for several Mate tools, not just forming inserts: the same B-station holders accept the Rollerball Deburr™ insert (deburring at the press), the Sheetmarker™ marking tool, and the Rollerball™ insert, which in an Ultraform® holder gains fine form-depth adjustment even on machines without precise stroke control. One holder already on hand covers several operations this way.

Keep in mind: Original Style forming tools (B station only, no interchangeable inserts) are dedicated to a single material-thickness-machine combination: moving them to another machine can damage the tool or the press. For any application where the tool will be reused across configurations, the Ultraform® family is the right choice.

An alternative to progressive (multi-hit) forming: runs at table travel speed, no separate secondary operations.

Operating principle

• runs at speed equal to programmed table travel: does not slow the machine down, unlike progressive forming
• works through auto-indexing, can follow any contour
• features can start or end anywhere on the sheet

Available station

B (1-1/4") only

Prima Power compatibility depends on the machine's serial number and PLC software version: verify these before ordering. Relevant for customers who also run Prima Power machines, distributed through the affiliated company Data Consult.
