Stamping lubricant
To achieve increasingly higher production speeds, new materials are being developed for manufacturing sophisticated punches and dies—materials that are progressively harder, but also more brittle.

Pay attention to how you lubricate!
In addition, there are many other precautions and techniques required to remain competitive in production—not least: pay attention to how you lubricate!
IRMCO lubricants for blanking offer a number of interesting features:
It is important to use a lubrication system that keeps the lubricant in continuous contact with the punch.
IRMCO LUBRICANTS FOR BLANKING
Interesting features.
Excellent cooling performance, good cleaning properties, and easy, low-cost cleaning of the component.
01
Excellent cooling performance
Excellent cooling performance
02
Good cleaning performance
Good cleaning performance
03
Easy cleaning
Easy, low-cost cleaning of the component
04
Friction
At that moment, friction occurs, normally generating high temperatures.
05
High temperatures
With consequences for tool life and surface finish quality.
06
Clean punch
Allowing the punch itself to cool down and remain clean.
IN BLANKING OPERATIONS
The moment when the punch rises after cutting.
At that moment, friction normally generates high temperatures, affecting tool life and surface finish quality.
PUNCH
After cutting
In blanking operations, the moment when the punch rises after cutting is generally underestimated.
PRESENCE OF FRICTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH TEMPERATURES
TOOL
Tool life
High temperatures affecting tool life.
IMPACT ON TOOL LIFE
FINISH
Surface finish quality
High temperatures affecting surface finish quality.
IMPACT ON SURFACE FINISH QUALITY AND THE ABILITY TO COOL AND REMAIN CLEAN
For this reason, it is important to use a lubrication system that keeps the lubricant in continuous contact with the punch, allowing the punch itself to cool down and remain clean.
FOR THIS REASON
The lubricant must remain in continuous contact with the punch.
For this reason, it is important to use a lubrication system that keeps the lubricant in continuous contact with the punch, allowing the punch itself to cool down and remain clean.
01
Continuous contact
Remain in continuous contact with the punch.
02
Cooling
Allow the punch itself to cool down.
03
Remain clean
Allow the punch itself to remain clean.
