Piercing
Use in punch presses, press brakes, air or hydraulic presses. Vogel Perf-Arc vertical piercing units offer a flexibility and adaptability which reduces both set up time and costs.
Perf-Arc units are designed for when unsupported piercing is acceptable. Unsupported piercing means the tube will deform or "dimple" around the pierced hole.
All Perf-Arc tools can be used singly or in multiples of two or more and can be positioned adjoining one another, spaced apart or at angles to pierce tubing which has been bent prior to piercing. All units are self stripping. Self contained units can be mounted directly to the bolster plate or sub-plates. Demountable units are split units which must be mounted both top and bottom preferably in a die set. Demountable units are also available keyed, top & bottom for direct mounting into most press brakes - pls. advise at time of order.
Note: When dimple-free piercing is required, a custom arbor piercing die, built in a die set, is required. This type of tool supports the ID of the tube during piercing, preventing deformation. These dies are built to suit the application. Please send us a print of your application details for quoting.
Perf-Arc Demountable Units
All demountable units clamp the tube prior to the perforator entering the tube.
Die set mounting top and bottom is recommended.

square or rectangular tube sizes up to max. capacity of each unit. Exit hole (bottom wall)
will be deformation-free however this hole will be up to 25% of the tube's wall thickness
larger, due to slug clearance, (i.e. for 16 gauge, exit holes are up to .016" larger)
Each unit includes a perforator and a pair of clamps sized to your tube, up to maximums shown below.
The lower clamp includes an integral bushing sized both to your hole size and tubing gauge.
