The latest Mate tooling solutions for increasing productivity, eliminating secondary operations and reducing part cost will be on display at FABTECH Mexico, May 16-18, 2023, at the Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City.
The Mate Screw Pocket Lance & Form tool eliminates the need for a formed flange and the hardware. It creates a form in the edge of the sheet that is designed to receive the screw-thread directly. The hardware and secondary operation are eliminated and both components are fastened together securely.
The Mate One-Hit-Hinge™ forms two sections of a curl on two separate knuckles, creating a closed circle. When assembled with mating forms, the pin is held securely in place by 360° contact. Since One-Hit-Hinge does not have to be formed straight up and curled down (3-hi style), the hinge diameter can be larger and will not interfere with the machine gap. Use the Mate One-Hit-Hinge to reduce the number of tool hits, increase form size and reduce part cost.

Ultraform PBT™ combines Mate’s proven, top-of-the-line Ultraform® thick turret forming system with our all-new universal press brake forming holder.
