Punching holes straight through tubing, pipes, and aluminum extrusion can be a time consuming and deceptively complicated process - weld seems, hole alignment, burrs, dimples and punch wear are just some of the factors that need to be considered.
Multicyl's TPM-DH product line is designed to help mitigate some of these concerns.
- Pre aligned opposing cylinders make for perfectly aligned holes
- Dual punches (rather than a single straight through punch) require only minimal penetration for longer punch life and less maintenance
- Custom mandrels account for weld seams and tube tolerance
- Fast acting and reliable Multicyl cylinders make for quick cycle time and fast production - much more so than machining operations or punching straight through with hydraulics
