Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
These metric straight regular punches are used in die and press tooling where consistent punch penetration and predictable wear are required over long production runs. Their straight geometry makes them a good fit for tooling sets that need stable alignment and repeatable part output.
- Progressive dies: When multiple stations cycle rapidly, the straight punch profile and XNAD coating help maintain dimensional stability and reduce wear-related variability.
- Production blanking and forming: For sheet-metal or similar operations requiring steady punching force and uniform clearance behavior, the punch’s standardized format supports repeatable tool setup.
- Die maintenance and part replacement: Configurable length and P-dimension ranges (within the supplied specifications) allow practical matching to existing tool stacks without redesigning the entire station.
The variant is specifically suited for production environments because the XNAD coating is intended to improve resistance to repeated-cycle wear while retaining reliable punching performance.
Material & Process Details+
This product is specified as a metric steel straight regular punch variant with an XNAD coating, intended to enhance tool life under repeated punching cycles. While the input data does not provide a specific steel grade, the design intent is to pair a hardened punch steel body with a wear-reducing surface treatment.
- Coating function (XNAD): The coating is intended to reduce friction and wear, supporting stable performance as cycles accumulate.
- Heat treatment state: Not provided in the available specifications, so hardness/tempering targets cannot be confirmed from the current data.
- Trade-offs: In punching tools, increased hardness generally improves wear resistance but can reduce toughness; coatings like XNAD are used to help balance surface durability during high-frequency operations.
For critical applications, confirm the exact steel grade and heat-treatment condition with your Axiom Molds supplier documentation.
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Select the punch size by matching the L (Length) and P dimension to your die station requirements and tool stack. In this series, L is fixed at 50–100 mm and P dimension is fixed at 3–16 mm, so choose the closest available configuration to your cavity/core penetration depth and clearance needs.
- Match L (mm): Use the required effective working length so the punch reaches the intended blanking depth without bottoming out or exceeding safe protrusion in the punch holder.
- Match P dimension (mm): The P dimension should align with the tooling geometry that governs engagement and support in the station.
- Tolerance/fit considerations: Since tolerance values are not provided here, verify fit within your punch holder/bushing system using your press and die builder’s standard tolerances and alignment requirements.
If you are replacing an existing punch, record the current L and P values from the tool drawings and select the same size from the provided fixed ranges.
