Inch Standard Regular Punches XNA Coating

In press tooling, these inch standard regular punches are used in high-volume blanking and forming operations where dimensional repeatability and stable cutting edge behavior are required. The punch’s geometry is intended to support consistent press performance, helping maintain ejection alignment and reducing variation cycle-to-cycle.

• Automotive and appliance part blanking: Employ with die sets that demand steady cutting under long production runs. The XNA coating is suited to reduce friction-related wear, supporting consistent blank quality.
• Electrical connector and sheet metal forming: Use when repeatable punch penetration and clean forming are critical. Multiple selectable tip shapes help match the contact profile to the part feature.
• General fabrication press tooling: Suitable for die and press combinations where tool life improvement and predictable performance are priorities during demanding cycles.

The provided configuration specifies XNA coating for an inch-standard regular punch used in press tooling. While the base steel grade and exact hardness are not specified in the supplied data, the coating is engineered to improve tribological performance at the cutting interface.

• XNA coating: Designed to reduce friction and help limit abrasive wear, supporting longer service life while maintaining reliable cutting edge behavior.
• Wear vs. edge behavior trade-off: By lowering sliding resistance between punch and workpiece material, XNA helps mitigate progressive wear mechanisms that can degrade dimensional accuracy over time.
• Manufacturing process (as applicable to this variant): Coated punch surfaces typically require controlled finishing to preserve tip geometry before coating application.

If you need a specific steel grade (e.g., through-hardened vs. nitriding grade) and an HRC target for your part material stack, share the workpiece and cutting conditions so we can align material state accordingly.

Select the punch size by matching the shank diameter (D), the point length, and the tip geometry to your die/core engagement and part feature requirements. This series supports shank diameters D = 12 ~ 250 in and multiple point length options based on coded inch lengths.

• Tip shape: Choose from H, J, K, L, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z to match the required cutting profile and contact area.
• Point length [S] for standard: Use B & L = 150 ~ 250 (coded inch).
• Alternate point lengths: Select from coded ranges such as 150 ~ 400, 150 ~ 500, 150 ~ 600, 175 ~ 600, or the longer variants up to 200 ~ 700 and 225 ~ 700, depending on your die depth and stripper/ejection clearance.

Pay attention to functional dimensions P = 0.042 ~ 1.625 in and W = 0.062 ~ 0.5 in (plus R = 0.007 ~ 0.007 in) to ensure the cutting edge profile lands correctly in the die openings. Use your press/tooling tolerances when verifying fit to guide bushings and die alignment features; only the listed ranges are configurable for this series.
