Punch Tip Deflection Kit

Genuine Elizabeth Precision. Zero Compromise.

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 Kit FAQs

Why is checking for tip deflection important?

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.

How often should I check my tooling?

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?

What is the acceptable tolerance for deflection?

Acceptable tolerances vary depending on tablet size, shape, and specific tooling standards (TSM or EU). Consult your press manual or speak directly with our Elizabeth tooling experts for your exact required measurements.
