Development of a Miniaturized, Electromagnetically actuated Punch

Team:  Dipl.-Ing Markus Ahrens
Year:  2014
Funding:  German Research Foundation (DFG)

In this joint research project with the institute of metal forming and metal forming machines a small, efficient electromagnetically actuated punch for cutting thin metal sheets is developed. By exciting the mass-spring-system specifically at its resonance frequency a compact, efficient high speed punch machine is optained, saving space, energy and time.
