Mate Precision Tooling tooling replacement

What is the Mate Precision Tooling tooling system?

Mate Precision Tooling supplies tooling under the Wila / Trumpf style, American, European. If your machine is already equipped with this system, replacement tools are specified to match it — the tang geometry, the working height and the retention method all have to agree, not just the nominal size.

How are Mate Precision Tooling catalogue numbers structured?

Mate publishes a part number structure in its press brake catalogue. The numeric part identifies the tool profile; the letter part identifies the tool length. S denotes standard, F segmented, T 300 mm, D 200 mm and C 100 mm, and a trailing X indicates a punch supplied with a safety button. Mate also publishes an online cross reference that maps other manufacturers' numbers to Mate numbers.

• A catalogue number identifies the profile; it does not replace measuring the tool.
• Worn or reground tools keep their number but lose working height.
• Where a brand publishes an official decoding key, that key is authoritative — not third-party guesses at what the digits mean.

What should I send to identify a replacement?

If your catalogue number is not listed, send us the number together with a photograph of the tool and a ruler shot of the tang. We will confirm the system, angle, radius, height and segment length before you order.

1. The catalogue number stamped or laser marked on the tool.
2. The angle and tip radius, if legible.
3. The working height from shoulder to tip.
4. The total length and any segment combination.
5. A photograph of the tool and of the tang with a ruler in shot.
