Features

CINCINNATI now has available a new Dual Upper Punch Unit with Press Stop Adjustment and Improved Guiding for use on 750/825 and 500/550 ton Rigid Reflex® Compacting presses. This new design unit provides the following benefits:

  • Set-Up Time Reduction
    The Press Stop Adjustment on the Inner Punch reduces set-up time by eliminating the need to remove punches and install shims when changes in the upper tooling press position are required due to normal variations in powder compressibility.

  • Higher Part Quality
    The ability to make minute adjustments in the pressing relationship of upper tooling provides the capability to make higher quality parts to exact print specifications.

  • Extended Tool Life
    Additional guiding improves part accuracy and helps extend tool life.

  • Reduced Set-Up Effort
    The Press Stop Adjustment reduces the amount of effort required to install tooling and get to final part size and weight.

  • Simple Installation
    The new design Dual Upper Punch replaces your existing Dual Upper Punch with no changes required to the press. Special Solution Packages to solve unique customer problems are available on a request basis.
