In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical compression, your tooling alignment is critical. A single bent punch tip can score a die bore, create “J-hook” burrs, and jeopardize an entire production campaign.
The Elizabeth Punch Tip Deflection Kit brings OEM-level accuracy into your maintenance room. Designed with a universal fixture to accommodate various punch barrel diameters, this kit provides a rapid, fail-safe method to verify that your tooling is straight, true, and ready for the press.
Deflection is often invisible to the naked eye.
Detect run-out (wobble) to stop issues before they start.
Invest in accuracy and durability.
A bent tip acts like a cutting tool against your die wall. Measuring deflection prevents the punch from scraping the die, which saves you money on replacement dies and prevents "J-hook" burrs from forming.
We recommend checking your punches during every major tool inspection cycle, immediately after any polishing or tip repair, or if a punch has been dropped or mishandled on the shop floor.
Is the kit difficult to use?
