Portable hydraulic punching machine for sheet metal SML

The SML-F has been designed for the larger panel-builder producing floor-standing control panels which require quantities of round and square holes in proprietary, pre-painted enclosures. By using a foot pump, there is less operator fatigue and both hands are free to position the punch.

It uses standard SML 3-point industrial duty punches made from tool steel, hardened and ground. The design of the 3-point punch guarantees that the blank is easily removable from the die. Square and rectangular punches are machined from single blocks of high grade tool steel to give maximum strength and dimensional accuracy.

The foot pump has a smooth and powerful action. Pressure release is by means of a toe operated side lever to avoid bending down.

This is a 2-speed pump for rapid operation with automatic pressure limiting for safety.

An 11mm pilot hole is required for punches up to 26mm diameter. For hole sizes above this, a 20.5mm pilot hole is needed and this can be made using a standard 20.5mm punch and die.

The method of operation is exactly the same as for the SML-H.

A plastic carrying case is available as an optional extra.
