Extended Range Punches Metric X-Tip

This extended-range punch is used in sheet-metal injection and stamping tooling where the punch must reach deeper features while maintaining guidance and feed alignment. The long working reach (fixed L1 25–30 mm, total L 63–100 mm) helps produce consistent punch positioning in progressive dies.

• Automotive bracket and connector stamping: The metric X-tip is suited for close-clearance die setups that demand stable forming at each station.
• Appliance and enclosure housings: It supports repeatable punching of medium-to-thick sheet sections by improving control of alignment during the strike.
• High-throughput production lines: The XCN coating is specified to reduce friction at the punch/die interface and support longer wear life in continuous runs.

With shank diameter options from D 40–63 mm and defined geometry ranges for P, W, and R, this variant can be matched to die block layouts to maintain predictable clearances.

The provided product data specifies an XCN coating for the tool surface, intended to lower friction and improve wear resistance during production punching. However, no base steel grade, heat treatment condition, or hardness value is listed in the input specifications, so these cannot be stated reliably here.

In general, extended punches balance wear resistance (benefiting from proper coating and suitable tool steel selection) against toughness needed to resist chipping under impact loading. Engineers should therefore confirm the underlying steel grade and any heat treatment state (e.g., pre-hardened, quenched & tempered, nitrided) from the manufacturer data sheet for this specific part number.

• XCN coating: focus on reduced sliding friction and improved surface durability in die contact.
• Material comparison: base steel selection varies by application severity; without grade data, only coating-related benefits can be verified from the provided specs.

Select this punch by matching both the reach and the cross-sectional guidance to the die cavity/core requirements in your tooling layout. Start with the overall length: choose L within 63–100 mm to achieve the required penetration depth, and verify the point/working length L1 25–30 mm.

• Shank diameter (D): pick from 40, 45, 50, 56, 63 mm to fit the guide and support columns while controlling deflection at strike.
• Tip/profile dimensions (P and W): select values that correspond to your die clearance geometry. Use the available ranges: P 20–39.95, 25–44.95, 30–49.95, 35–55.95, or 40–62.95 mm and W 8–39.95, 9–44.95, 10–49.95, 11–55.95, or 12–62.95 mm.
• Radius (R): choose within 0.2–31.475 mm (multiple max ranges are available depending on the configuration).

Because no tolerance data is provided for P/W/R, confirm the dimensional allowance with your die designer, and ensure your close-clearance setup aligns to the selected X-tip profile.
