Abstract
Machine for punching a box-shaped element, or suchlike, including at least one punching head provided with at least one punch and translatable in a direction toward or away from a substantially vertical side of the box-shaped element and at least one counter-head that contrasts the punching head, the side of the box-shaped element is positioned during use between the punching head and the counter-head, the counter-head is configured to be inserted inside the box-shaped element and to rest against an internal surface of the side in order to maintain the box-shaped element in position on a work plane, and the punching head is translated toward the counter-head in the direction so as to perforate the side by means of the punch and make at least one through hole therein.

A machine for punching a box-shaped element (11), wherein it comprises at least one punching head (12) provided with at least one punch (13) and translatable in a direction (A1) toward or away from a substantially vertical side (14) of the box-shaped element (11) and at least one counter-head (15) that contrasts said punching head (12), wherein said side (14) of the box-shaped element (11) is positioned during use between said punching head (12) and said counter-head (15), wherein said counter-head (15) is configured to be inserted inside the box-shaped element (11) and to rest against an internal surface of said side (14) in order to maintain the box-shaped element (11) in position on a work plane (17), and wherein said punching head (12) is translated toward said counter-head (15) in said direction (A1) so as to perforate said side (14) by means of said punch (13) and make at least one through hole (18) therein, wherein said counter-head (15) is provided with a piston (20) configured to rest on a bottom (16) of the box-shaped element (11).
A method to punch a box-shaped element (11), comprising:
- disposing a box-shaped element (11) on a work plane (17) so that at least one substantially vertical side (14) of said box-shaped element (11) is positioned resting on a counter-head (15) inserted inside the box-shaped element (11) and configured to provide a contrast to a punching head (12) and maintain said box-shaped element (11) in position on said work plane (17);
- translating said punching head (12) provided with at least one punch (13) toward said side (14) and toward said counter-head (15);
- and
- perforating said side (14) by said punch (13) with consequent production of at least one through hole (18) in said side (14),
- wherein said counter-head (15) is provided with a piston (20) configured to rest on a bottom (16) of the box-shaped element (11).
