Z Style Guides dramatically reduce set-up time by allowing quick and easy height adjustment for larger thick turret stations. Optimum hits rates are possible from any machine with programmable bottom ram position.

The height adjustment of the punch can be done by hand, no tools or jigs are required due to the secure locking mechanism. The Z style Guides also have a one touch stripper plate location mechanism, which allows for quick and simple stripper plate change over.

The Z Style Guide accepts both standard and Airblow tooling utilizing a common standard style stripper plate.

The punch can be keyed at 0, 45, 90 and 135 degrees giving maximum versatility and flexibility. The punch life gauge enables the setter / operator to monitor the correct amount of punch life so to avoid any potential tool jams or failed stripping operations.
