Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone! Mate will be closed on November 23rd and 24th.

Want to combine structural strength with minimum material thickness to reduce the cost of a component? Consider the hexagon. Mate’s solution combines the natural strength of the hexagon with the functionality of a beading tool. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays

Day 1 at EMO HANNOVER 2023 and Mate Workholding is generating a lot of interest. And, why not? With best-in-class accuracy and repeatability, and more, there's a whole lot to like! Visit Mate at EMO in Hall 5, Stand D83 to see for yourself. #mateworkholding #emo2023

Visiting Fabtech 2023 in Chicago? Mate is ready to meet you at Booth A2940! See the latest in sheetmetal fabrication technologies and how we can help you maximize your green light time. #mateprecisiontechnologies #fabtech2023 #fabtechchicago

Perform two operations with one tool, in this case, an extrusion with a curled-down top. Operation #1 makes the extrusion with the flat top. Operation #2 curls down the top, creating a smoother passageway for cables, fingers, etc. #curledemboss #mateformingtip

A three-part process with a single hit? You bet! The upper tool bursts the hole and creates the extrusion down. The lower tool creates the emboss-up. Done! #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays #prepierce #sheetmetal #fabrication #mateformingtip

Want to combine structural strength with minimum material thickness to reduce the component cost? Mate’s solution combines the natural strength of a hexagon with the functionality of a beading tool into a non-spring loaded custom beaded emboss tool. #mateprecisiontechnologies

Get a grip! A gripper line emboss feature isolates the material to reduce or eliminate the result the operation has on its surroundings. Using a gripper line makes flatter sheets with less torsion, preventing the distortion of neighboring holes. #mateprecisiontechnologies

Form different types, lengths and diameters of knuckles. Eliminate a secondary operation and fabricate the hinge directly on the enclosure or cabinet. Ensure accuracy over more manual operations. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays #hingeworthy #sheetmetal #fabrication

Make faster progress! Progressive tools create multiple features for part production. Each tool stroke adds an element as the sheet moves in specific increments. They work in several stages, producing a finished part with every hit. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays

Get a grip! Using a gripper line around the emboss helps minimize sheet curling. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays #nocurling4you #sheetmetal #fabrication #mateformingtip

Maximum flatness! Using a special stripper helps maximize sheet flatness during embossing operations. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays #maxflatness #sheetmetal #fabrication #mateformingtip

Create appealing surface treatments in architectural sheet metal panels with a formed emboss. Also, use for mounting locations and more on electrical cabinets. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays

Mate’s Eliminator™ pads help keep the punch tip lubricated during the punching process. They help eliminate unwanted galling, extend tool life and prevent overheating. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays #eliminator #nogalling #longtoollife #sheetmetal #mateformingtip

Joining two pieces of thinner materials without fasteners? Call in the reinforcements! Mate's SnapLock™ with Reinforced Tab is just for you! Allows you to join 16 gauge (1.50mm) materials even with different thicknesses. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays #snaplock

Cool down with refreshing louvers. Designed to fit the situation, multiple louvers provide increased airflow and help reduce moisture. #mateprecisiontechnologies #formingfridays #multiplelouvers #cooldown #refreshinglouvers #sheetmetal #fabrication #mateformingtip
