Tool Coating for Punch Presses
April 1, 2016
Mate Precision Tooling's SuperMax tool coating is engineered to provide high performance, longer lasting punch press tooling.
"Providing a hard, wear-resistant and lubricious coating, SuperMax acts as a barrier between the punch and sheet metal, improving stripping and extending tool life," said a company spokesperson. "SuperMax provides more hits between sharpening, which reduces machine downtime. SuperMax also reduces galling, slug pulling and corner breakdown, enhancing the quality and efficiency of the punching process.
"SuperMax is applied using the latest nano-layer technology. It is a harder, denser film that increases wear resistance and a lower friction coefficient of approximately 20%. This lower friction means less heat build-up, less galling (adhesion) and longer tool life."
SuperMax works on Mate's M4PM, M2 and Durasteel punches in round, rectangle, oval and square punch configurations. Applications include 3000 and 5000 series aluminum, galvanized and stainless steels, pre-painted material, vinyl coated material and fiberglass.
