Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
Metric straight regular punches with an XCD coating are used in injection mold tooling and downstream metalworking fixtures when precise, repeatable piercing of sheet stock is required. In production line setups, they support consistent hole features for tooling components such as locator plates, ground supports, and strip-fed infeed components.
For automotive connector and terminal manufacturing, these punches help maintain stable cutting geometry over longer runs, reducing variation in punched openings that can affect downstream assembly alignment.
They are also well suited for consumer electronics enclosure housings where punched metal tabs or vent features must be formed accurately for tight fit tolerances. The straight, metric configuration aligns with common metric tooling layouts, and the XCD coating is chosen to enhance wear resistance—an advantage where high cycle counts and frequent tool changes impact throughput.
- Use in fixtures that require dependable piercing accuracy in metric setups
- XCD coating supports longer service intervals under production wear conditions
Material & Process Details+
The provided configuration specifies an XCD coating for the cutting face, intended to improve wear resistance during punching operations. However, the steel grade and exact hardness (HRC) are not included in the supplied specifications, so heat treatment details (e.g., quenched & tempered, nitrided) cannot be stated without risking inaccuracy.
In general tool design terms, coated punches trade some cost and surface refinement for improved abrasion resistance and longer cutting edge life. For comparison, uncoated tool steels typically show faster wear under abrasive cutting loads, while coated variants maintain sharper geometry for longer periods in high-cycles applications.

- Steel grade, HRC, and heat treatment: not specified in input data
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Select the correct punch geometry by matching the tool’s L (Length) and P dimension to your application’s functional stack-up and piercing geometry. This series is available with L = 50–100 mm and P = 3–16 mm (fixed ranges).
To size for your mold-related fixture or press tooling, use the required piercing depth and clearance for backing/support elements to determine L. Choose P to match the required piercing feature size or punch profile width dictated by the die opening geometry (core/cavity interface in downstream forming).
- Match P (3–16 mm) to the desired hole/piercing dimension governed by the corresponding die
- Select L (50–100 mm) so the punch length supports stable alignment and adequate protrusion
- Verify fit and alignment against your punch holder/bushing system; tolerance values are not provided in the input data
Frequently Asked Questions
Which dimensions should I verify to ensure the straight regular punch matches my die opening?+
For this series, confirm P (3–16 mm) against the required piercing feature size governed by your die opening. Also select L (50–100 mm) to match your tooling stack-up and required piercing depth.
Because tolerance values are not listed in the provided data, you should validate clearance and alignment in your punch holder/bushing system using your internal standards.
Is the XCD coating intended for higher production wear conditions compared with uncoated punches?+
Yes—this variant specifically includes an XCD coating to resist wear and support longer tool life during punching operations. It is therefore commonly selected for runs where service intervals and edge deterioration impact throughput.
The exact material grade, hardness (HRC), and heat treatment state are not included in the input, so coating benefits should be evaluated against your expected load and cycle count.
Can this metric straight punch be used in common metric tooling setups for repeatable piercing?+
The punch is a metric straight regular configuration, designed for predictable piercing in metric tooling layouts. In practice, engineers typically ensure the die opening and holder components are metric and compatible with the punch profile.
Use the fixed dimension ranges (L 50–100 mm, P 3–16 mm) to confirm dimensional compatibility with your tooling assembly.
What should I confirm if my application requires precise alignment over long runs?+
Start with the correct P value (3–16 mm) to ensure the punched feature matches the die geometry. Then verify L (50–100 mm) provides adequate support and alignment through the full piercing stroke in your tooling stack-up.
For long production runs, the XCD coating is selected to help maintain cutting edge performance as wear progresses, but the input data does not specify hardness or heat treatment.
