 Stamping tools are a vital benefit of Petig punching technology

processed, while tubes of up to 8m in length are not uncommon. In particular, a highly advanced aspect of these machines is the stamping tools. Due to the large tube diameters often encountered, it is a vital characteristic that the machines are equipped with long tool guides. Die lubrication with a good punching oil also lengthens tool service life. To rule out any cold welded layers, dies are coated when punching is carried out on non-ferrous metals or on stainless steel. Petig also facilitate the rapid changing of tools, with quick-changing tools fitted on all punching machines. Friedrich Petig GmbH – Germany
