Abstract
A method for disposing of a slug produced in a hole punching operation on a hollow profile is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a hollow profile; cutting at least one predeterminable hole or slug contour path into the hollow profile by means of a cutting device; leaving a residual web of the hole or slug contour path; moving a receiving device into the hollow profile; moving a punch from a first position into a residual-web-removing second position in such a way that the slug thereby produced is received by the receiving device; and moving the receiving device out of the hollow profile.
Claims9
A method for disposing of a slug produced in a hole punching operation on a hollow profile, the method comprising:
- providing a hollow profile;
- cutting at least one predeterminable, non-continuous contour path into the hollow profile via a cutting device;
- leaving a residual web between a first end region of the contour path and a second end region of the contour path;
- moving a receiving device into the hollow profile;
- moving a first punch from a first position into a residual-web-removing second position such that a first slug thereby produced is received by the receiving device;
- and
- moving the receiving device out of the hollow profile,
- wherein the first end region of the contour path extends away from the first slug, and wherein the second end region of the contour path extends within the first slug, the contour path defining at least a portion of a perimeter of the slug.
A method for disposing of a slug produced in a hole punching operation on a hollow profile, the method comprising:
- providing a hollow profile;
- cutting at least two predeterminable, non-continuous hole or slug contour paths into the hollow profile on opposing sides of the hollow profile via a cutting device;
- leaving a residual web through each hole or slug contour path;
- moving a receiving device into the hollow profile;
- moving a punch for each hole or slug contour path from a first position into a residual-web-removing second position such that slugs produced by punching of the opposing side are received together by the receiving device;
- and
- moving the receiving device out of the hollow profile.
