Punch tooling simplifies enclosure racking
A
Mate Precision Tooling product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Mar 3, 2005
Racking cluster tooling produces precisely positioned mounting holes In electronic enclosure racks - including a protusion feature that facilitates easy installation of racks.
Mate Precision Tooling's 19-inch Racking Cluster tooling fabricates mounting holes in electronic enclosures with a special feature that makes rack positioning fast and easy.
Designed for punching industry standard 19in enclosures, Mate's Racking Cluster tooling consists of a punch, stripper and die assembly.
The punch is a solid cluster of three punch points on 0.625in (15.87mm) centers.
The two outer punches are 0.375in square (9.50mm) while the middle punch of the same size has a special protrusion on two sides.
When the turret press is programmed to move the sheet to be punched in 1.750in (44.45mm) increments, the correct hole pattern is punched precisely and quickly.
The center punch 'protrusion' feature produces a positioning and centering slot that facilitates accurate and easy installation of racks into 19-inch wide punched enclosure boxes.
Mate's 19-inch Racking Cluster punching process is much faster than single point punching and is in accordance with international standards DIN 41494 and IEC 297.
In addition to the 19-inch enclosure hole pattern, Mate's Racking Cluster tooling is also available in custom hole shapes and sizes for non-standard applications.
The tooling is available in multiple tooling styles including fully guided design and is available for all popular turret punch press models.
These include Amada, Finn Power, Murata Wiedemann, Euromac, Pivatic and Strippit machines.
