R&D PROJECT | ROTARY PUNCH APPLICATION

DIN Rail Machine

A Rotary Punch machine that punches coil sheet without stopping it, used in the punching stage of a DIN rail production line.

Perforated DIN rails: standard and high profile
/ Sheet Metal Machines

Perforated DIN Rail Strip

The punched flat strip before the DIN rail is formed: 45–60 mm wide, 1–1.5 mm thick, 2 m long.

Engineering & Manufacturing Technology Analysis

Key features of the solution developed by the YILSA R&D team

01.DIN Rail Punching with Rotary Punch

The machine punches the sheet without stopping it, using male and female dies on two adjacent rotating drums. It is designed for the serial punching (perforation) stage of a DIN rail production line and can work with rails of different widths and thicknesses.

02.Two Punching Stations in Series

Because the holes in a DIN rail are very close together, the same frame carries two punching stations in series. Stripper guides that follow the sheet through both stations hold it steady vertically and prevent unwanted bending.

03.Easy Die Change

The punches are fixed to the drums from the side with set screws; loosening the screws lets you remove the dies easily and fit sharpened or new ones.

The dies are made of 1.2379 (D2) Böhler tool steel at 60 HRC hardness and have a 6 mm regrinding allowance; after sharpening, shims are added underneath so the dies can be reused.
