Tool-Less Thick Turret Punching System

Mate's Ultra QCT is a quick change tool-less thick turret punching system. Ultra QCT is simple and intuitive to set up, and fully compatible with Mate's Ultra family of guides and standard canisters.

Ultra QCT features a simple tool-less punch retention mechanism. To use, slip the latch to remove and snap the new insert into place. The punch is keyed at the perimeter of the tool - not the center - providing enhanced angularity control. The shoulder of the punch remains securely guided by the guide when punching. Only one punch driver is needed for rounds or shapes.

"Ultra QCT is designed for durability," said a company spokesperson. "The punch insert is made from MPM4 tool steel. Independent studies have shown M4PM to last as much as 56% longer than conventional high speed tool steels. Further, the punch driver is coated with SuperMax, Mate's next generation coating, to minimize wear and preserve fits."

The fully compatible Ultra QCT design integrates into all existing Mate UltraTEC, Ultra XT and Ultra Fully Guided guides and standard canisters.

Ultra QCT's durable design cleans quickly with compressed air. "In addition, not only do the M4PM inserts last longer but they use less material to make than conventional punches," said the spokesperson.
