The Trumpf R.I.system/2.4.1 / Multi-Use Tooling System is a modular punch-and-die architecture designed for high-performance sheet metal fabrication. Unlike standard single-purpose tools, this system is built around the concept of interchangeability and cost-efficiency, allowing operators to swap specific wear components without discarding the entire tool assembly.
The designation refers to the system’s ability to utilize a universal tool holder that accepts various punch inserts. This design shift moves away from the traditional solid-body punch, offering three primary advantages:
*Modular Versatility: A single guide assembly can support multiple punch shapes (rounds, squares, rectangles, or specials). This reduces the physical footprint of your tool library.
*Reduced Consumable Costs: Because the punch tip is separate from the shank/holder, you only replace the small cutting element when it dulls. This significantly lowers the "cost-per-hit" over the life of the machine.
*Rapid Setup: The 2.4.1 system is engineered for tool-less or minimal-tool adjustments, allowing for faster changeovers between different material thicknesses or geometries.
1. High Compatibility: The R.I.241 Series Trumpf Tooling is specifically designed to be fully compatible with Trumpf turret punch presses. This ensures seamless integration and optimal performance, eliminating any compatibility issues that may arise with other tooling systems.
2. Precision Engineering: Every tool in this series undergoes precision engineering to achieve tight tolerances and accurate dimensions. This results in precise punching and cutting operations, producing clean and accurate holes and shapes in metal sheets.
3. Enhanced Durability: Constructed from high-quality materials, the R.I.241 Series Trumpf Tooling offers excellent durability. It can withstand the high forces and stresses generated during metalworking, reducing the risk of tool breakage and extending the tool life.
4. Optimized Performance: The unique design of the tooling optimizes the cutting and punching processes, reducing the required force and increasing the speed of operation. This leads to improved productivity and cost savings for metalworking businesses.
5. Enhanced Regrind Life: The inserts are typically designed with extended usable lengths, allowing for more frequent sharpening cycles before the insert reaches its end-of-life.
6. Precision Alignment: Despite being a multi-component system, the 2.4.1 architecture maintains rigorous tolerances. The locking mechanism ensures the punch insert remains perfectly centered within the guide, preventing premature burring or tool wear.
1. Electronics Industry: In the electronics industry, where precision and miniaturization are crucial, the R.I.241 Series Trumpf Tooling is used to create intricate metal components for electronic enclosures, circuit boards, and connectors. Its precision and reliability ensure the proper functioning of electronic devices.
2. Medical Device Manufacturing: For the production of medical devices, which require strict quality control and precision, this tooling is essential. It can be used to fabricate parts for surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and implantable devices, meeting the high standards of the medical industry.
3. Architectural Metalwork: In architectural applications, the R.I.241 Series Trumpf Tooling is used to create decorative metal elements and structural components for buildings. Its ability to handle different metal materials and produce precise shapes makes it suitable for architectural metalwork projects.
4. Automotive Component Production: In the automotive industry, this tooling is used to manufacture various components, such as brackets, mounts, and decorative elements. Its high compatibility with Trumpf turret punch presses and its precision performance contribute to the production of high-quality automotive parts.
