The FAB 2 E-Station Tooling (originally the NEX 3 style) is the high-performance pinnacle for the largest thick turret station, designed for punching diameters and shapes up to 4.500" (114.3mm). While original E-stations are often cumbersome to adjust, the FAB 2 system applies "Quick-Adjust" technology to this massive station size, prioritizing speed and precision in heavy-duty applications.
1. FAB 2 "Quick-Click" Length Adjustment
The most transformative feature of the FAB 2 E-station is the elimination of manual shimming for the turret's largest tools.
*Tool-Free Calibration: By releasing a locking mechanism on the massive driver head, the operator can rotate the head to adjust punch length in 0.1mm (0.004") increments.
*Elimination of Shims: In original E-stations, shimming a 4.5" tool is a slow, manual process. The FAB 2 system allows this to be done at the machine in seconds.
*Maximized Tool Utility: The design allows for a significantly deeper regrind limit (up to 5.0mm / 0.200"), allowing the shop to get double the life out of expensive large-diameter punch bodies.
2. Optimized Stripper System
*Integrated Plate Retention: The FAB 2 E-station uses a high-strength retention system that allows for rapid stripper plate changes. This is critical for E-stations, where changing from a round punch to a large rectangle typically requires heavy mechanical disassembly in older styles.
*Guided Precision: The stripper plate acts as a final guide for the punch tip, providing 360-degree support right at the point of impact. This is essential for preventing punch "walking" or deflection on large hits.
3. Primary Applications
*Large-Scale Blanking: Cutting out large internal windows or perimeters with maximum speed.
*Complex Large Shapes: Large-scale rectangles, triangles, or custom "cluster" tools where precise depth control is needed to balance the hit.
*Thick Plate Processing: Providing the rigidity and stripping force needed for 6mm (0.250") mild steel or 5mm stainless steel.

Punch height adjustment Rotate the punch head by depressing adjust button andadjust the punch height. Rough adjustment is to adjust thepunch edge about 1mm below from stripper surface After adjustment has made, release the adjust button andconfirm whether the lock is made without any play byrotating punch head clockwise and anticlockwise.Adjustment range is within 5mm distance and blue line onthe key should be within adjustment range.
