Punching device for punching network nodes on mold insert and method of punching network nodes using the same

A punching device for punching network nodes on a mold insert, comprising:

• a first horizontal guide rail;
• a mounting seat, installed on the first horizontal guide rail and horizontally movable along the first horizontal guide rail;
• a first driver, installed on the first horizontal guide rail and connected with the mounting seat by a first driving mechanism;
• a punching mechanism, installed on the mounting seat;
• a laser distance meter, installed on the mounting seat;
• a host computer, electrically connected with both the punching mechanism and the first driver;
• a displacement operation controller, communicated with both the laser distance meter and the host computer;
• and
• a work platform, configured to carry the mold insert and located beneath the punching mechanism,
• wherein the laser distance meter is configured to measure depth of the network nodes, hole diameters of the network nodes, spacing between the network nodes, and flatness of the mold insert, and the displacement operation controller derives an appropriate value of electrical current from measurement results of the laser distance meter and sends the value of electrical current to the host computer, and the host computer supplies electricity to the punching mechanism in accordance with the value of electrical current so as to perform an operation of punching the network nodes on the mold insert.
