WARNING!
Trumpf-manufactured punch and die inserts at the maximum length are etched as “30,00 mm,” “56,00 mm” or “76,20 mm.” In measuring these OEM products, Mate determined that, in reality, they are 0,12 mm shorter than etched. For example, a Trumpf-made “76,20 mm” insert is actually 76,08 mm. (Trumpf-manufactured punch and die inserts for lengths shorter than the maximum length are not affected by this issue.)
Mate etches the inserts at the actual length manufactured (for example, 76.08 mm). If you are replacing a Trumpf-manufactured part with the maximum length, please order the inserts 0,12mm shorter (as in the above chart) to improve compatibility with Trumpf-brand inserts or preexisting programs.
