CE TOOLING TURRET WEAR POINTS

Single stroke with out material will reduce the life of a punch & die by thousands of hits.  Turrets are sold to be precision machines serving as a tool changer and guide for punch and dies.  It is donating all the areas of play that contribute to the punch and die placed in a turret press to not stay aligned.  Truth is, the turret does not position P&D aligned, certainly not for clearances up to .012”/.3mm    How does P&D not side load.

In a split second, punch engages the material and then floats to least resistance which is the centering of the die.

TURRET MUST SERVE AS BOTH A TOOL CHANGER & TOOL GUIDE

NEVER STOKE PRESS WITH OUT MATRIAL, ELSE P&D WILL TOUCH
