Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
This inch-standard straight punch is used in injection mold tooling wherever controlled ejection, forming, or fine blanking features are created with repeatable punch penetration. Its straight regular geometry helps maintain stable alignment in press and machining tool stations, which is important when multiple punches operate side-by-side on a tooling plate.
- Automotive and appliance insert features: Use it for forming and trimming operations that require consistent punch travel and predictable edge condition across long production runs.
- General production blanking/slotting: Suitable for day-to-day manufacturing where cycle-to-cycle repeatability matters and punch contact surfaces see recurring friction.
- High-frequency wear environments: The XAN DayTAN™ coating is selected to improve wear resistance at the working tip, helping extend service intervals and maintain dimensional stability.
With the provided inch dimensions, this variant fits common tooling layouts and punch holders designed for inch-standard punch sizes.
Material & Process Details+
The product data provided specifies an XAN DayTAN™ coating focus, but it does not list the underlying steel grade or the exact heat-treatment condition (e.g., quenched & tempered, nitrided) or hardness value. For this reason, material-property statements like exact HRC or steel-equivalent mapping (SKD61/H13, D2/1.2379, etc.) cannot be stated from the supplied information.
- XAN DayTAN™ coating: Designed to improve wear resistance and reduce friction at the punch working surface, supporting longer tool life under repetitive punching loads.
- Trade-off: In coated punches, the coating thickness and substrate toughness balance directly affect scuffing resistance versus tolerance retention; use the correct punch size and alignment to avoid coating edge chipping.
If you share the requested steel grade and heat-treatment spec for this series, we can document hardness (HRC) and the exact wear/toughness trade-offs with engineering accuracy.
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Select the punch size by matching the mold/tooling holder requirements and the cavity/core feature geometry you need to create. This series provides fixed inch dimensions for L (Length) = 150 ～ 625 in and P (Dimension) = 0.125 ～ 0.375 in.
- Choose L (Length): Verify the required working engagement depth plus any clearance in the punch guide and retainer. Use the shortest length that provides full engagement without bottoming or excessive overhang.
- Choose P (Dimension): Match P to the cross-feature size/offset requirement of the forming or blanking operation. Ensure it aligns with the locating geometry in your punch set so the straight punch remains centered in the station.
- Tolerance/fit considerations: Because the data does not provide tolerance grades, confirm fit using your existing press/tooling standards (holder bore/slot tolerances and guide clearances). For best alignment, avoid side load by ensuring your punch holder and guide system match the straight-in-line geometry.
Dimensions marked as fixed in this series should be ordered to those exact values for consistent station fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which operating conditions benefit most from the XAN DayTAN™ coating on straight regular inch punches?+
The XAN DayTAN™ coating is intended to improve wear resistance and reduce friction at the punch working surface. This makes it well-suited for repetitive punching/blanking duty cycles where tool contact conditions are consistent. If your application involves frequent runs or scuffing-prone surfaces, coating-equipped punches can help extend service intervals.
How do I select the correct punch length (L) from the available range for a specific station engagement depth?+
Use the provided fixed range L = 150 ～ 625 in to match your required engagement depth. Choose a length that allows full working travel while maintaining clearance in the punch guide and preventing bottoming in the tooling stack. When multiple punches share a plate, confirm overall protrusion consistency to avoid uneven loading.
What should I verify when matching the P dimension (0.125 ～ 0.375 in) to my cavity/core feature geometry?+
Confirm that your required feature sizing or offset aligns with the fixed P = 0.125 ～ 0.375 in options offered in this series. Because the exact definition of P is not provided in the data, verify its meaning against your punch drawing/specification for your tooling layout. Matching P ensures proper centering in the station and helps maintain consistent punch contact.
Does this series specify a particular steel grade, hardness (HRC), or heat treatment state?+
The supplied product data does not include the underlying steel grade, hardness (HRC), or heat-treatment state (e.g., quenched & tempered, nitrided). It does specify the XAN DayTAN™ coating as the key differentiator. For hardness and substrate performance, request the metallurgy and heat-treatment documentation for series code 250301145631.
Can this punch be used in multi-punch tooling where alignment stability is critical?+
Yes—its straight regular geometry is intended to support stable alignment in press tool stations. For multi-punch setups, ensure your punch holder and guide system match the inch-standard configuration and that you minimize side load. Proper alignment helps protect the coating at the working edge during continuous production runs.
