Maintenance Tips
-
Clean After Every Use: Remove metal chips and debris from the punch and die area to prevent buildup and maintain smooth punching operations.
-
Lubricate Tooling: Apply light machine oil to punch shanks, die surfaces, and moving parts to reduce friction and extend tooling life.
-
Inspect Wear & Damage: Regularly check punches and dies for dull edges, cracks, or deformation; replace worn components promptly to ensure clean, accurate holes up to 4″.
-
Verify Alignment: Ensure punch and die are properly aligned after installation to prevent uneven wear and stress on the assembly.
-
Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check and secure bolts and mounting hardware to avoid movement during heavy 120 ton punching.
-
Prevent Corrosion: Store in a dry area and apply rust inhibitor on exposed steel surfaces when not in use.
