The cluster tool made by customized layout for single shape in round, rectangle,square,oblong,even special shape.
This type of tooling could be made in B station,C station,D station,E station
Tooling designed to be AMADA basic type,WILSON 90 type,Mate ULTRA type as required
Fully guided cluster recommanded to small diameter less 3.0mm and narrow size width less 3.0mm. It can get
more longer insert life, more punch hits.
Holes shape and size requested in layout
A thick turret cluster punch tool is a specialized, custom-designed die set used in CNC turret punch presses that contains
multiple individual punch tips within a single large punch holder and die. The core function is to create many holes
simultaneously in a single stroke of the press, significantly boosting production speed for perforation or pattern-punching
applications.
Features:
1.Multiple Punch Tips
A single tool body houses anywhere from 2 up to 120+ tips. These tips can be round, square, or other shapes, arranged
in a specific, fixed pattern.
2.Integral or Insert Style
Available as a single, solid piece (more expensive, higher accuracy) or with replaceable inserts for the individual punch tips
(lower replacement cost, easier maintenance).
3.Staggered Punch Heights
For high-tonnage applications, tips can be staggered (some slightly shorter than others). This reduces the required punching
force and noise by ensuring not all tips hit the material at the exact same instant.
4.Tight Tolerance Control
The rigid, custom design of the cluster tool is engineered to maintain close center-to-center tolerances between the punched
holes, minimizing the sheet distortion that often occurs when punching features very close together sequentially.
5.Anti-Distortion Measures
Often includes design features or is combined with special dies (like a back-bending die feature) to combat common
perforation issues like sheet stretch and oil canning (warping).
Applications
The cluster punch tool is a powerhouse for high-volume, hole-intensive parts, where the goal is to reduce the total
number of ram strokes.
1.Perforated Sheets: Its most common use is in mass-producing perforated metal sheets for filters, acoustic panels, s
creens, and ventilation grilles.
2.Electronics Chassis: Punching large arrays of small holes for component ventilation in server racks or electrical cabinets.
3.Repetitive Patterns: Any sheet metal component that requires a repetitive, gridded pattern of holes, such as shelving
components or light fixtures.
4.Maximizing Hit Rate: Used whenever a job requires maximum machine strokes per minute to be converted into maximum
parts per minute, providing a cost-effective alternative to laser cutting for thick-gauge, repetitive holes.
