9.3 Punch Operation
Your Ironworker is capable of punching materials as
listed in the Ironworker Specifications as well as
described on the capacity labels positioned adjacent
to the Punch station.
Punching Safe Operation
Please observe the following guidelines when
operating the Punch Station:
•
Follow manufacturers punch and die clearance
recommendations. Follow punch tonnage
requirements.
•
Never exceed the capacities of the machine or
tooling as described in the Ironworker
specifications or listed at the tooling station.
•
The thickness of the material you are punching
should not exceed the diameter of the punch
being used.
•
Check punch and die alignment after every
tooling change or extended punch operation.
•
Do not stack material to punch in the punching
station.
•
Punch complete holes only – partial holes will
side load the punch tooling and could result in
punch breakage and operator injury.
•
Use punching aids when working with small
items at the punch station.
9.3.1 Punch Operation
1.
Clear the punch station of any tools or debris
prior to powering the machine on.
2.
Layout the location for the hole to be punched.
Center punching the location will assist in
alignment.
3.
Place the material to be punched between the
punch and die, centering the hole location under
the punch point. Check to see that the stripper
will contact the material evenly during punch
retraction.
4.
Use one or two drops of SAE#30 oil at the
punch to aid in stripping material from the punch
as well as to extend the life of the punch tooling.
5.
Clear your hands away from guards indicating
possible pinch points, securely hold material,
press the foot cylinder pedal to move the punch
through the material and into the die. If material
is long, use a material stand for support.
6.
When the cut is complete, release the extend
foot pedal and press the retract foot pedal to
open the punch station for the next cut.
Note: When using the optional center
punch station, the foot pedal operation will
be reversed.
