Measures To Take When Working with Tube Hole Punching Machine

Punching in sheet metal processing refers to a slitting procedure when a sheet is completely cut through in one motion. Round holes are produced in the sheet, for instance, by single strokes that can happen in a very short period of time. Punching machines can also be used to produce outside outlines.

Punching

Making a hole in a tube with a die supported by a mandrel is known as tube punching. Tube "punching" is the act of using a punch to create a hole without the use of a die or die support. The result is a dimpled hole.

Geometrically speaking, punched-shaped circular holes are always flawless. A punching machine operates similarly to a paper hole punch. The hole support and circular opening are both pressed into the paper by the punch. In doing so, a circle is formed. The punch container is filled with the offcuts that were punched out.

The same principle applies when punching metal: place the sheet between the punch and the die. Punch descends and slants into die. The sheet is cut as the edges of the punch and die move parallel past one another. Punching falls under the shear-cutting process group for this reason.

What are Tube Hole Punching Machines?

The multi-cylinder tube hole punching machine is powered by an electrical motor, hydraulic pressure, and manually fed steel pipes by workers. It may be used as an industrial hole punch and can pierce holes in a variety of shapes in steel, stainless steel, iron, and aluminum alloy tubes.

This punching equipment is tailored to meet the needs of various metal punching applications and consists of hydraulic cylinders with various punch and die sets merged into one.

The material is sheared between the punch and die to create the hole. The material gets moved around throughout the punching process and then totally loosens due to material failure. This results in the normal cut surface seen in punching operations, i.e., a smooth surface where the material has slipped and a rougher surface where the failure occurs, on both the punched detail and bore.

Measures to Take When Using Tube Hole Punching Machines

Angle iron, aluminum profiles, and different steel pipes can all be processed using hydraulic punching machines. By switching die sets, it can punch holes, notch arc shapes, and cut.

The following considerations should be made when utilizing tube punching machines:

1. Punctuation of holes without tube insertion is strictly prohibited. The inner die's location cannot be fixed in the absence of a tube. As the puncher descends, it may crush the inner die, harming the sets of dies.

2. If punching is extremely laborious, see if the puncher's edge has been passivated. If so, take the puncher out and sharpen it, or buy a new one.

3. A worn puncher may shorten the stroke. Please lower the stroke sensor switch if the puncher stops before the materials are punched through.

4. The hydraulic oil's temperature needs to be maintained between 30 and 60 °C. When it's cold outside, the hydraulic punching machine needs to be on for a while before use. Please frequently check to see if the oil temperature is overheated when operating continuously for an extended period of time.

5. Please replenish the hydraulic oil and inspect the hydraulic cylinder and oil pump once the equipment has operated for 10,000 hours or 4 years, whichever comes first.

Conclusion

When utilizing tube hole punching machines, the operator must adhere to the recommended procedures. The puncher and die sets may be harmed by improper operation and maintenance, which will also reduce the life of the tube punching machine.

All You Need To Know About Cluster Tooling

Image
In perforation applications, the Cluster tooling  allows you to create the most holes with the fewest strikes while reducing sheet distortion. It's perfect for applications that require punching many holes in a pattern with tight center-to-center tolerances. The special design of the Cluster tooling  aids in the management of perforation difficulties such as quick tool wear, hole distortion, and sheet strain. A Cluster tooling  punches come in a variety of hole sizes, shapes, and patterns, ranging from 2 to 120 holes per punch. When retooling a punch, you may choose between a solid or removable tip, which allows you to replace the entire punch and only the tip. When numerous holes need to be punched close together in one press stroke, cluster tooling is typically employed. In this article, we will discuss about cluster tooling in detail. PUNCH MORE HOLES WITH LESS HITS USING CLUSTER TOOLING All those strike cost you time and might produce distortion in a perforation appli...

6 Advantages of Hydraulic C Frame Punch

Image
The Hydraulic C-frame punch presses are built to take up less floor area than traditional metalworking machinery while still providing good functionality and low stroke deflection. C-frame presses, like other hydraulic presses, are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of industries. The wide-open, three-sided accessibility and portability of hydraulic c frame punch are popular. Hydraulic presses with C-frame frames are very frequent. These presses are named for the fact that they are fashioned like the letter "C," although they are also known as "gap-frame presses." We will learn about the application and benefits of hydraulic c frame punch in detail in this article. 1. Much Lower Operating Costs The hydraulic c frame punch presses are relatively simple, and the huge cost savings over mechanical presses in comparable capacities may surprise you. The number of moving parts is small, and they are all properly lubricated by a pressurized oil flow. Thes...

What are Different Types of Fixtures in Manufacturing?

Image
  What are CNC fixtures in manufacturing? A fixture is a work-holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry. CNC fixtures are used to securely locate and support the work, ensuring that all parts produced using the fixture will maintain conformity and interchangeability. Different types of fixtures are:   1.  Milling fixtures 2.  Turning fixtures 3.  Plate fixtures 4.  Welding fixtures 5.  Drilling fixtures   Let’s talk about them in detail   1.  Milling fixtures   Milling operations tend to involve large, straight cuts that produce many chips and involve varying force. Locating and supporting areas must usually be large and very sturdy in order to accommodate milling operations.   Important elements are:   Base  : A heavy base is the most important element of a milling fixture. It is a plate with a flat and smooth under face. The complete fixture is built up from this plate. Keys are provided...
