Description
This A Station downward center point marking tool creates a controlled locating dimple on the top surface of sheet metal without punching through the material. The corresponding underside forms a small raised feature, providing a clear and repeatable reference point for subsequent operations.
It is commonly used for drill and tapping location, bending reference marks, assembly and welding positioning, and part identification. Marking diameter, depth and tool geometry can be customized according to the material thickness and application requirements.
WYS Machinery can manufacture thick turret and thin turret versions in A, B, C, D and E station sizes. TRUMPF and Murata Wiedemann type structures are also available for different punch press systems.
Key Features
