Thick Turret Basic Type C Station

Desctription:
The basic tooling of a punch consists of several key components, including the punch, die, stripper plate, guide pins, punch holder, and die button. These components work together to provide precise and efficient punching operations. Proper alignment and maintenance of these components are crucial for achieving high-quality results and extending tool life.

Thick Turret Basic Type Basic Type C STN Guide Assembly

Product Description

The Basic Type Thick Turret Tooling is is the robust, mid-sized workhorse of the thick turret system, designed for punching diameters and shapes up to 2.000" (50.8mm). Unlike the small A and B stations which often use a hex-head punch, the C station transitions into a "Large Station" architecture characterized by a massive, fully guided assembly.

* Economic tooling,Big saving

* Long punches,M2-high speed steel material, Coating avaible

* Punch with metric M12 thread in 2" C station

* Hard guides for reduced friction and longer service life

* Punch body sharpening life only 2.0mm

Key Features

1. Heavy-Duty Assembly Architecture

The Original C Station is defined by its substantial mass and structural rigidity. It consists of:

*The Punch Driver: A heavy steel component that serves as the interface between the machine's striker and the punch body.

*Disc Spring Pack (Belleville Washers): Unlike the coil springs found in smaller stations, the Original C station typically utilizes a stack of disc springs. These provide the high-pressure stripping force necessary to pull a 2-inch punch out of thick or "sticky" plate material without distorting the sheet.

*Integral Guide Body: A precision-ground, non-hardened or semi-hardened housing. Because C stations are large, the guide provides significant surface area to stabilize the punch against side-loading during offset hits.

2. Manual Height Adjustment (Shimming)

The "Original" designation means the tool lacks an internal click-adjustment mechanism.

*Fixed Length Design: The punch body is a solid unit. When the cutting edge is reground, the tool becomes shorter.

*Standard Shimming: To restore the tool to its nominal operating length, the operator must disassemble the unit and place die shims or punch shims (typically available in 0.5mm, 1.0mm, or 1.5mm thicknesses) behind the punch tail or within the driver assembly.

*Grind Life: In a standard Original C assembly, the usable grind life is usually limited to about 2.0mm (0.080") before the punch becomes too short to safely reach the die.

3. Keying and Alignment

*Single or Dual Keying: Most original C-guides are "single-keyed" at the 0° position. For shaped tools (rectangles, obrounds), the punch must be physically aligned to this key.

*Non-Indexing: In basic turrets, these are "fixed" stations. To change the angle of a cut, the operator must swap the entire tool for one with a differently keyed guide or punch body.
