Overview

  Louvers on the metal sheet are widely used for ventilation, which can keep the machine system temperature under optimal condition. Today we will share with you how to make the Louvers on the metal sheet by hydraulic ironworker machine.

Description

  Like the following diagram shows, this louver punch die includes upper part, bottom part, wedge block, once the upper part moves down, wedge block will punch the holes on the metal sheet and form the louver shapes. After one step, worker can push the metal sheet forward by one gap(S) , repeat the above and you will finish the louvers on the whole sheet.

L——-wedge block height

T——-Sheet thickness

D——-Punching depth

W——-Louver width
