Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
These extended-range punches are used in injection mold tooling and metal-forming stations where punch access is limited, such as close-space punching for molded-in features and secondary forming operations on the tool steel side. The extended reach (overall length L = 63 to 100 mm) helps maintain stable penetration and guidance even when the surrounding die space restricts tool travel.
They are commonly applied to automotive and appliance-related connector or bracket inserts, where consistent punching accuracy across production runs is critical. The XAN DayTAN™ coating is suited for these high-cycle environments because it improves surface wear resistance at the punch working area, helping preserve forming stability.
- Medical device housing inserts: Tip shapes (H, J, K, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z) allow matching to specific geometries and part tolerances.
- Thin-wall or tight-die modules: Use the available shank diameters D = 40 to 63 mm to align with die alignment requirements.
Material & Process Details+
The provided metadata specifies the geometry and coating variant (XAN DayTAN™) but does not list a steel grade or heat-treatment state. For material selection and heat-treatment planning, confirm the supplied punch material specification from Axiom Molds for this series code 250301827706.
In general for punching tools, engineers select a hardened punch steel to balance wear resistance and toughness. Higher hardness (often targeted in the mid-to-high HRC range for punch tips) improves edge life but can reduce toughness if over-hardened; tempering is typically used to restore toughness after quenching.
- XAN DayTAN™ coating: included to enhance wear performance at the working surface during repetitive punching.
- Trade-off to validate: ensure hardness/tempering (and any surface treatment such as nitriding if offered) matches the required edge retention versus impact/side-load risk.
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Selection starts by matching the punch reach and shank to the tool layout in restricted die spaces. Choose the overall L = 63 to 100 mm to ensure the required working depth is achieved without bottoming or interfering with die components.
Next, match the shank diameter D = 40, 45, 50, 56, or 63 mm to the guide/holder bore and alignment features in your punch plate system. For close-space forming, the extended length (L) must provide enough clearance while keeping the punch axis stable.
- Point length: keep within L1 = 25 to 30 mm to match the forming contact zone and wear allowance.
- Geometry matching: select the required P, W, and R dimensions from the available ranges (P: 20 to 39.95 / 25 to 44.95 / 30 to 49.95 / 35 to 55.95 / 40 to 62.95 mm; W: 8 to 39.95 / 9 to 44.95 / 10 to 49.95 / 11 to 55.95 / 12 to 62.95 mm; R: 0.2 to 19.975 / 0.2 to 22.475 / 0.2 to 24.975 / 0.2 to 27.975 / 0.2 to 31.475 mm), then verify tip shape (H, J, K, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z).
If you have strict fit constraints, confirm the holder tolerance class for the shank interface since tolerance data is not provided here.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct overall punch length (L) for tight die space layouts?+
Use L = 63 to 100 mm to reach the required punching depth while maintaining clearance in restricted die spaces. For close-space applications, verify that the extended reach does not interfere with surrounding die components along the full stroke.
Also check that the selected shank diameter D (40/45/50/56/63 mm) matches the guide/holder to maintain alignment during insertion.
Which tip shapes are available, and how do they affect forming geometry compatibility?+
This series supports tip shapes: H, J, K, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z. The tip shape is selected to match the target feature geometry and forming contact area on the part.
When pairing tip shape with the working dimensions (P, W, R), confirm the required radii and profiles to achieve the intended part contour.
What are the selection ranges for point length (L1), and why does it matter?+
The point length is fixed at L1 = 25 to 30 mm for this configuration range. L1 directly influences the effective working zone and how quickly the tip edge reaches its wear limit.
For repeated runs, consistent L1 helps maintain forming stability when your tool access is constrained.
How do the P, W, and R dimensions relate to the punch point profile?+
The punch point profile is controlled by P, W, and R within the provided ranges. Select the corresponding set that matches your required profile: P (e.g., 20–39.95 or up to 62.95 depending on configuration), W (e.g., 8–39.95 up to 62.95), and R (e.g., 0.2–19.975 up to 0.2–31.475).
After choosing dimensions, verify compatibility with the die cavity/core geometry used for the close-space forming feature.
What role does the XAN DayTAN™ coating play compared with uncoated punches?+
This punch variant includes the XAN DayTAN™ coating, intended to improve working-surface wear resistance. In high-cycle punching and restricted die-space applications, that wear performance supports more stable forming over production runs.
To confirm the full performance impact for your material system and load conditions, validate coating effectiveness alongside the punch material’s specified hardness and heat treatment (not included in the provided metadata).
