The Thick Turret Shims are precision-engineered components that play a vital role in the accurate alignment and performance of thick turret tooling systems. These shims are designed to provide the necessary spacing and adjustment to ensure that the tooling components are correctly positioned within the turret punch press. They are made from high-quality materials that offer excellent strength, durability, and dimensional stability. The shims are available in a variety of thicknesses and sizes to meet the specific requirements of different metalworking applications. Their smooth surfaces and precise dimensions make them easy to install and adjust, ensuring a secure and stable fit.
1. Precision Engineering: The Thick Turret Shims are manufactured with high precision to ensure accurate dimensions and consistent quality. This precision is essential for achieving proper alignment of the tooling components and ensuring the accuracy of the metalworking operations.
2. Dimensional Stability: Made from materials with excellent dimensional stability, these shims maintain their shape and size even under varying operating conditions. This ensures that the tooling alignment remains consistent over time, reducing the need for frequent readjustments.
3. Strength and Durability: Constructed from robust materials, the shims can withstand the high forces and stresses involved in metalworking operations. They have a long service life and are resistant to wear, deformation, and corrosion, providing reliable performance.
4. Versatility: The shims are available in a wide range of thicknesses and sizes, allowing for flexibility in their use. They can be used to adjust the clearance between tooling components, compensate for manufacturing tolerances, and ensure proper fitment in different turret punch press models.
1. Tooling Alignment: In thick turret tooling systems, proper alignment of the tooling components is crucial for accurate metalworking. The Thick Turret Shims are used to adjust the position of the punches, dies, and other components, ensuring that they are correctly aligned for optimal performance.
2. Clearance Adjustment: These shims can be used to adjust the clearance between tooling components to prevent interference and ensure smooth operation. This is particularly important in applications where precise control of the metalworking process is required.
3. Tolerance Compensation: In metalworking, manufacturing tolerances can sometimes lead to variations in the fitment of tooling components. The shims can be used to compensate for these tolerances, ensuring that the tooling functions properly and produces high-quality results.
4. Equipment Maintenance: During the maintenance of turret punch presses and thick turret tooling systems, the shims may need to be replaced or adjusted. Their ease of installation and adjustment makes them convenient for use in maintenance operations, helping to keep the equipment in good working condition.
Shims are available for A,B,C,D,E station dies and C,D,E station punches. They are used to adjust the height of reground toolsand the forming of parts.
