Maxima™ ve Supermax™ Punch Press

SuperMax^™ Coating:

Mate SuperMax™ is a proprietary next generation coating specifically formulated for punch press tooling. A hard, wear resistant, and lubricious coating, SuperMax acts as a barrier between the punch and sheet metal to greatly improve stripping. In customer testing, SuperMax outperforms currently available premium coatings by 2 to 8 times, depending on the application.

Applied using the very latest nano-layer technology, SuperMax’s harder, denser film greatly increases wear resistance and has a much lower friction coefficient of about 20%. Lower friction means less heat build-up, less galling and longer tool life. SuperMax is particularly good for adhesive wear tooling applications. The lubricity is also beneficial when punching sharp cornered shapes with a 90 degree or smaller angle.

SuperMax is recommended for applications such as 3000 and 5000 series aluminum, cold rolled, galvanized and stainless steels; even pre-painted, vinyl coated and fiberglass materials.

Maxima^™ Coating:

Maxima™ is a premium tool steel coating that has been specially formulated for turret punch press tooling applications. Maxima is a multilayer Zirconium Titanium Nitride coating that is hard, wear resistant, and lubricious. It acts as a barrier between the punch and the sheet metal being punched and, because of its exceptional lubricity, greatly improves stripping.

Maxima is applied to the precision ground surface of Mate’s premium tool steel punches. Since Maxima is an extremely hard, wear resistant, slippery material which reduces the friction that occurs during the stripping portion of the punching cycle, it is particularly good for adhesive wear tooling applications. Less friction mean less heat build up, less galling and longer tool life.
