Overview
Mate’s QuickLock™ tooling system is for Trumpf style presses that combines the economy of conventional Trumpf style tooling with the convenience of a keyed alignment ring. The keyed alignment ring engages the alignment key in the punch for quick tool alignment without an alignment fixture, resulting in quicker tool set-ups and maximum machine productivity.
Mate QuickLock™ Tooling System Features:
- High-speed steel punches for extended interval between sharpening.
- Punches include an alignment key for use with the Mate QuickLock™ alignment ring.
- Alignment ring with a keyway that engages the key on both Mate QuickLock size 1 and size 2 punches for quick and accurate tool alignment of both .
- Urethane strippers, in an extended size range, for quieter operation and improved piece part quality.
- Highly wear-resistant punches and dies.

Mate QuickLock™ Universal Alignment Ring
- Precision machined keyway to accept the hardened punch key for accurate alignment, relative to the die aperture, without the need for a fixture.
- Precision ground upper and lower surfaces for positive contact with the punch shoulder for reduced tool stress and maximum service life.
- Elimination of the possibility of punch rotation, with a solid contact between the punch key and the alignment ring keyway.
- Shock resistant tool steel to eliminate cracking, for longer service life.
- Compatible with conventional, Trumpf style, size 2 punches.
- Universal for both Mate QuickLock size 1 and size 2 punches.
