PUNCHING STATION
COMPONENTS
The punching station includes the punch and die
holders, stripper, work table, and stock guides. In
addition, there is an Emergency Stop pushbutton
which is located on the right side of the punching
station, and a foot switch which controls the
movement of the punch.
The major components of the punching station
include the stripper/guard (A), punch holder (B),
stock guides (C), die holder (D), and work table
(E).
PUNCHING STATION
FOOT SWITCH
The operation of the punching station's foot
switch is described in the Machine Description
section, page C-6.
EMERGENCY STOP PUSHBUTTON
This red pushbutton, located on the right side of
the punching station, causes all of the machine's
functions to stop. After the button is pressed it
remains in the off position, preventing the
machine from being restarted, until the button is
reset by turning it clockwise.
The
Emergency
Stop
pushbutton
does
not
disconnect any components
from the power supply. Avoid
serious injury or death by
turning the machine's power
off at the Main Electrical
Disconnect
switch
before
servicing the machine.
WORK TABLE AND STOCK GUIDES
The work table supports the work stock, and the
stock guides (A) provide positive alignment of
the work stock for accurate, repeatable punching.
The stock guides (A) are locked in place with
hand levers. Both stock guides have a scale which
indicate their position in relation to the center of
the punch.
The work table has a split top which allows the
front of the table (B) to be removed. Removing
the front of the table allows structural material,
such as angle iron and channel stock, to be
punched. It also permits the die holder to be
removed and rotated as needed (see, "Reversing
the Die Holder", page D-6).
