Marathon Plus™ System

MarathonPlus™ Tooling System for Murata Wiedemann Punch Presses

Mate’s Marathon Plus™ Tooling System is engineered for today’s high speed Murata punch presses, including Vectrum, Motorum, and Magnum models.

Marathon’s high speed, high performance design features include hardened and ground spring loaded punch holders with quick length adjustment; fully guided premium M2 high speed steel punches; hardened steel strippers; and Mate Slug Free® Dies. Additional advantages include built-in multiple angle settings, and a built-in lubrication system.

Marathon Plus™ System Concept

Ideal for high volume or high-speed applications. External quick length adjustment mechanism for exceptionally quick tool changes. Contained forces to reduced turret wear. Hardened and ground punch holder to reduce friction. Reduced travel + hardened guide = increased turret bore life. 3-point guiding to improve piece part quality. Spring loaded stripper holds the sheet flatter. Include 8 angle settings for maximum flexibility.

Marathon Punch Holders

• External length adjustment button for precise tool length setting in 0.005(0.12) increments without disassembly or additional tools.
• Fully hardened and ground for maximum precision and long life.
• External length adjustment for precise tool length setting in 0.005(0.12) increments without disassembly or additional tools.
• Full length guiding in three positions (top middle and punch tip) for perfect alignment and stability.
• Spring loaded stripping for flatter sheets and improved hole accuracy.
• Single draw bolt lock for positive punch retention.
• Self-locking stripper plate retention (no wrenches required).
• Self-releasing “pop-up” stripper for fast, easy tool change.
• Built-in lubrication vents for smooth long life operation.
• Full station capacity.

Marathon® Punches

• High speed tool steel for exceptional tool life.
• 1/4 degree back taper and near polished flanks to reduce friction and eliminate galling.
• 3-point guided action eliminates lateral deflection and improves piece part quality.
• Minute corner radii to reduce chipping and extend tool life.

Marathon® Stripper

• Fully guided stripper provides lateral punch support to improve piece part quality and extend tool life.
• Domed face to concentrate stripping force at punch tip.
• Quick tool change: Installation – press-click, Removal – twist-click.
• Superior angularity and concentricity for better piece part quality.
• Built-in angle settings every 45 degrees for maximum flexibility.

Slug Free® Dies

• High wear strength, chrome air hardened tool steel to balance hardness and toughness.
• Slug Free® die geometry eliminates slug pulling.
• Uniform clearance radii in die corners to eliminate pip marks.
• Precision orientation with external pin.
• Superior roundness and flatness with exceptional die strength.
• Up to 0.118(3.00) grind life.

Marathon Plus™ Punch Torque Stand Assembly

The Marathon Plus Torque Stand is designed to be fitted to the machine mounted tool changing fixture. It is recommended when changing a punch and stripper. It allows the punch holder to be held securely during punch installation.
