Trumpf Tilting Arms for Punch

 a "tilting arm" is a specialized tool holder designed specifically for the TruTool TF 350 a portable machine used for joining sheet metal through cold forming (clinching).

Unlike a standard fixed arm, the tilting arm provides the following advantages

  • Improved Accessibility: It allows the tool to reach into tight, narrow, or complex areas that a straight, fixed arm cannot access.
  • Versatile Positioning: The "tilting" mechanism enables the punch or die to be positioned at various angles, which is essential for joining workpieces with difficult geometries like corners or deep profiles.
  • Interchangeability: On the 
    TruTool TF 350
    , you typically have the choice between a tilting arm or a fixed arm for either the upper tool (die) or the lower tool (punch), depending on your material thickness and specific application needs.
  • Application-Specific: Tilting arms are commonly used in HVAC ductwork, cabinet construction, and frame manufacturing where standard joining tools might be obstructed
Tooling Specifications for TruTool TF 350
When selecting a tilting arm, you must match it to the specific die size based on your material:
Tool Part Options Purpose
Upper Tool Tilting arm for die OR fixed die arm Holds the die at the required angle
Lower Tool Tilting arm for punch OR fixed punch arm Holds the punch for the clinching operation
Material Range Varies by die (e.g., 3.1 - 3.5 mm) Determined by the specific "Die No." used

 

Die Number  Suitable Sheet Thickness (mm) Notable Applications & Fit
Die No. 1 0.8 – 1.5 mm Thin sheet metal, small ductwork.
Die No. 2 1.6 – 2.0 mm Standard HVAC and cabinet construction.
Die No. 2+ 2.1 – 2.5 mm Medium-gauge steel framing.
Die No. 3- 2.6 – 3.0 mm Heavier structural profiles and flanges.
Die No. 3 3.1 – 3.5 mm Maximum capacity for mild steel (400 N/mm²)


Note: For Aluminium (up to 250 N/mm²), the maximum total thickness can reach up to 4.0 mm using Die No. 3.

Key Considerations for Your Choice
  • Material Hardness: If you are working with high-tensile steel (600 N/mm²), your maximum joining capacity is reduced to 2.5 mm, meaning you would typically use Die No. 2+ as your upper limit.
  • Coated vs. Uncoated: The 
    TF 350
     works equally well on both; the die selection remains the same based on the total combined thickness.
  • Tool Setup: These dies can be used with either the fixed arm or the tilting arm. If your project involves joining points in tight corners or deep profiles, the tilting arm for the die is recommended to reach those areas while maintaining the same thickness capacities.
