The adaptor loaded in thick turret of punch press machine, Apply to use the smaller station tooling into bigger turret station. Eg B station tooling put in D-B adaptor, then install it in D station
Key Functions
Compatibility and Integration:
Amada Tooling Adapters ensure that different tooling systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing machinery. This is particularly useful when upgrading or expanding tooling capabilities without the need for extensive modifications to the equipment.
Adjustability:
The adapters are often adjustable, allowing for fine-tuning of tool positions and angles. This adjustability is crucial for achieving precise alignments and ensuring high-quality results in manufacturing processes.
Enhanced Precision:
By providing a stable and precise connection between tools and machinery, the adapters help in maintaining consistent quality and accuracy in production.
Versatility:
Amada Tooling Adapters can be used in various applications, including punching, bending, and forming operations. This versatility makes them a valuable addition to any manufacturing setup.
A thick turret station adaptor tool is essentially a converter or a bushing that allows you to use smaller tools (punches and dies) in a larger, designated station on a thick turret CNC punching machine.
Key characteristics:
Concentricity and Alignment: It must maintain perfect concentricity and provide rigid, positive alignment for the smaller inner tool. Any run-out or play would compromise punch life and hole quality.
Seating Surface: The adaptor features a broad shoulder or flange on its exterior to securely seat within the large turret bore, while its interior provides a precision-ground bore to receive and clamp the smaller tool assembly.
Tool Retention: Typically, it incorporates features like retaining rings, keyways, or locking mechanisms to positively secure the smaller punch and die components, ensuring they do not shift under the high forces of the punching stroke.
Material: It is constructed from hardened tool steel to withstand repeated impact and wear, ensuring longevity and maintaining dimensional accuracy over thousands of cycles.
In short, it is the interface that bridges the dimensional gap between the machine's largest station and the operator's need to utilize a diverse, smaller inventory of economical tooling.
