Punch Adapters
Below, we can see a sample Punch Adapter DXF drawing. An origin reference point will need to be placed at the mounting point on the side profile of the tool.
The following text entities are required for a Punch Adapter:
NAME – This is the name given for the tool.
TONNAGE – This is the tonnage of the tool in kN.
UPPER – This is the upper punch valency of the tool.
LOWER – This is the lower mounting type (this is the type of punch that can be mounted on the adapter).
PIECES – These are the required tool lengths. These are separated by a comma, and if more than one is required, we can use a multiplier to specify the value required.
HEIGHT – This maps the effective working height of the adapter. This is measured from the bottom of the adapter to the mounting point.
CANFLIP – If the tool can be flipped when mounted, this should be set to 1.
GROUP – This can be used to specify the tool group that this tool would belong to. In this case, it is an Adapter.
