CUSTOM PNEUMATIC TOOLS TO PUNCH ALUMINUM
The PTX-1069 is designed to punch an aluminum extrusion to hold a carpet strip in place and prevent if from sliding in the extrusion. This tool is equipped with a urethane pad to prevent the punch jaw from scratching or damaging the face of the extrusion. It also helps prevent the punch jaw from sticking in the extrusion, as aluminum is soft and has a tendency to grab and hold the punch die.
The PTX-1100 was designed to punch a 3/8" diameter hole through 0.0855" thick aluminum extrusion. This tool is equipped with a urethane spring to prevent the punch from sticking in the extrusion, as aluminum has a tendency to grab and hold the punch. This customer was previously drilling these holes.
