Slitting system for Trumpf-style punch presses

Fully OEM compatible, Mate LongLife is claimed the market’s only punch press tool slitting system utilising M4PM tool steel. This tool steel provides the highest tool performance with superior wear resistance and increased toughness, resulting in higher quality punched parts and longer tool life. M4PM is a proprietary metallurgical steel composition that uses a special particle metallurgical manufacturing process and triple temper heat treatment resulting in the world's finest tool steel for use in punching tools. Mate LongLife is designed to replace conventional punches and dies and are available in two shapes: rectangle and oval, and in five standard inch and metric sizes. They are also available with Maxim coating. A choice of two insert punch holders is available. One includes an integral alignment ring, for fast and precise tool set-up. The second requires a heavy duty alignment ring to allow manual angle setting flexibility. Mate LongLife punch holders work with conventional machine strippers.
