FAB style
Guide Assembly is a robust and efficient tooling solution for thick turret punch presses. Its quick adjust mechanism, extended punch grinding life, and internal lubrication system make it a reliable choice for high-quality punching operations. The assembly's compatibility with major OEMs and optional coatings further enhance its versatility and performance
The (Extended Tool life) designation typically highlights a system focused on ease of adjustment and durability without the complexity of ultra-premium canisters.
Here is a technical description using original industry terminology:
C-station guide acts as the precision housing for the punch body and stripper plate. It is engineered to maintain perfect axial alignment between the machine ram and the die, even under the significant lateral forces common in offset or nibbling hits.
Core Technical Features
*Hardened Guide Body: The assembly is constructed from high-grade, hardened tool steel. This minimizes friction-induced wear on the turret bores and prevents the "galling" that occurs during high-speed, repetitive cycles.
*Click" Length Adjustment: A primary feature of the FAB series is the integrated, tool-free length adjustment. By depressing a locking button or ring, the operator can rotate the head to extend the punch in precise increments (typically 0.005" or 0.15mm per click). This allows for instant compensation after the punch has been reground.
*Dual-Path Lubrication:
External Grooves: Spiral or circular channels on the outer diameter ensure oil/grease is distributed evenly across the turret bore.
*Internal Ports: Dedicated pathways deliver lubricant directly to the punch body, reducing heat buildup and extending the life of the internal spring pack.
*Multi-Track Keying: To offer maximum flexibility, the guide features multiple external keyways (standard at 0°, 90°, and sometimes 45° or 135°). This allows the same tool to be rotated in the turret to change the orientation of the shape without removing the punch from the guide

Guide assembly feature
1.push-button length adjustment mechanism, allowing for quick and precise punch length adjusting without the need for tools
2.Extended punch grinding life of up to 5-6 mm, reducing the frequency of tool changes and maintenance
3.Guide assembly ensures that all critical areas and surfaces are adequately lubricated during operation. This reduces wear and tear and extends tool life.
4.It equip with original basic punch body, stripper, die. Better interchangeability and versatility
5.The punches are typically made from M2 high-speed steel with a hardness of HRC 60-64, while the dies are made from D2 tool steel with a hardness of HRC 58-60
