Thick Turret Tooling

Alpha Blade

Designed specifically for parting tool applications, AMADA’s Alpha Blade maximizes the amount of hits between sharpenings, increases machine green light time and reduces the need for tool maintenance. The results are better looking parts with minimal maintenance costs!

Power Vacuum Dies

Available in ½" and 1¼" stations, the patented Power Vacuum Die works incombination with AMADA’s EM model turret punch press to virtually eliminate slug pull. The EM’s forced-air system directs a continuous stream of air through the die to create directional airflow to the slug chute. In turn, this allows die penetration to be reduced to 1mm. Reduced die penetration equals reduced punching time and the faster part processing achievable with the EM machine.

ATLX Coating

AMADA’s premium coating incorporates high-grade materials and the latest application technology to increase abrasion endurance, restrain edge decomposition and significantly increase tool life. Designed specifically for use with M2 tool steel, AMADA has developed a perfect combination of top quality steel and leading-edge coating technology to provide unparalleled punching performance.

• Available in Standard and Air Blow types
• Available in NCT and Z-style
• M2 tool steel exclusively

Contouring Tool

The Contouring Tool is a specially designed nibbling tool that allows nibbling at pitches of less than material thickness. The result is a fine contour that is not achievable with standard tools and the elimination of secondary operations. Available for the following turret punch presses or punch/laser combination machines EM, AE, C1 and VIPROS

Flat Positioning (F/P) Tool

AMADA’s Flat Positioning "F/P" Tool was designed to eliminate the need for spot welding positioning jigs thus reducing the need for secondary operations. The F/P tool only forms on one side of your material eliminating the need to fill in the uneven surfaces. It is available for Up Form or Down Form applications in .031 ~ .063 mild steel and aluminum. Available for all AMADA turret punch presses or punch/laser combination machines.

Safety Inch Bend Tool

Short flanges can be formed safely where processing on the press brake may not be possible. Made for the 2" station, minimum flanges of 3 times material thickness to a maximum of 1.378" can be achieved with this tool. The Safety Inch Bend tool can form a maximum bend length of 1.181" in materials ranging from .020" to .063" in thickness (CRS, AL, SS). Available for the following turret punch presses or punch/laser combination machines: EM, AE and C1

E-Fine Tool

Compared to conventional parting tools, use of the E-Fine tool results in greater sheet utilization by increasing the number of parts per sheet. This thinly-tapered tool is designed to withstand the stresses associated with punching narrow holes. The tool’s .0004" stripper clearance eliminates punch tip deflection. Available for the following turret punch presses or punch/laser combination machines: EM, AE and C1

Deburring Tool

Deburr parts quickly and without adding a second operation with this Deburring Tool. Utilizing a chamfered edge die, the burred edge of the punched part is pressed flat, making secondary deburring operations unnecessary. The Deburring Tool can be made to match any parting tool size. Available for all AMADA turret punch presses or punch/laser combination machines.

High-Speed Marking Tool — Form Down

Mark part numbers, lot numbers, manufacturing dates, etc., with this marking tool and AMADA’s AP100 programming software. Add value to punched parts without adding secondary operations. Characters are created by punching .008" deep indentations on .020" centers. Available for all AMADA turret punch presses or punch/laser combination machines.

Strong Punch Tool

AMADA’s Strong Punch Tool is designed to produce a hole size as small as 56% of material thickness. This specially designed Air Blow Stubby Style Punch with AMADA’s proprietary ATLX coating holds up on the most difficult applications. A specially designed Power Vacuum die with relief minimizes sheet distortion. Available for the following turret punch presses or punch/laser combination machines: EM, AE and C1
