The guide assembly's primary role is to guide the punch accurately during the punching process, ensuring precision and extending tool life. It also plays a key role in the stripping function and often incorporates features like Air-blow capabilities to prevent slug pulling (depending on the machine model).
1. Maximum Regrind Value
Feature: Significantly increases the maximum grindable length of the punch body.
Description: The guide system allows the punch body to be reground by up to 6.5 mm (for materials less than 3.2 mm thick), which is a substantial increase compared to older or traditional tooling.
2. Integrated Air-Blow Compatibility
Feature: Designed to work optimally with the Air-blow tooling system (when available on the machine, such as EM and AC series).
Description: The assembly is compatible with both standard and Air-blow style punches. The Air-blow system supplies air and an oil mist to the guide/punch area.
3.Simplified Tool Maintenance (Quick Assembly)
Feature: Quick assembly and adjustment mechanism (e.g., using a lock bolt and turning the punch body for height adjustment).
ADVANTANGE:
1.Reduced Tooling Costs
By increasing the maximum regrind amount to 6.5 mm, the life of the punch body is dramatically extended. This means fewer punch bodies need to be replaced over time.
2. Minimized Downtime & Maintenance Effort
Advantage: Greatly reduces tooling maintenance time (in some cases, claimed to be reduced to 1/3).
Benefit: Faster tool changes and height adjustments lead to increased machine uptime and overall productivity.
3. Improved Part Quality
Advantage: High-precision guidance minimizes lateral movement (slop) of the punch.
Benefit: This helps minimize "silver's appearance" (a form of excessive wear/galling) and ensures the punch contacts the material with maximum accuracy, leading to cleaner holes and longer-lasting tools.
