Alfra Punching Equipment

Alfra Punching tools & punching machines range from small hand operated punching units to large punching machines, the self contained hand punch tools are without the need for hoses or cylinder and are ideal for workshops and construction sites where there is a need for punching all types of holes in switchboards, these tools will cut holes through 3mm steel with ease and are very light to carry around at 1.6kg.

Other hand & foot operated punching tools are very handy also especially where you have no electric supply (site work), they also will punch up to 138 x 138mm holes through 3mm thick steel.

Alfra supply 6 x large punching machines with throat depths from 250mm right up to 800mm which can punch switchboard doors of 2200 x 1000mm including folded edges, all these punch machines include a laser pointer for exact centre of hole without the need for pilot and just like the other machines can punch or nibble out holes 92 x 92mm in 3 seconds, the changing of punch/dies for these machines takes approx 25 seconds and you do not need to take the panel off the machine.

Alfra also carry a range of punch and dies for the cutting of stainless steel including a range of unique tri star cutters which cut the waste material into 3 separate parts.

The Alfra range consists of many other tools for the manufacture of switchboards – switchgear such as manual punch and dies – din rail cutters – crimping tools – bi-metal hole saws – TCT cutters and step drills etc.

Other features to note is that most of the Alfra punch/dies can be used with existing other makes of punching tools and we here at Electropress offer a regrind service for all used cutters the customer may have lying around doing nothing thus saving approx half the cost of new ones!

All in all the name Alfra is the one to look for when it comes to the construction of copper bus bar and switchgear/switchboard panel systems, so whether you are an electrician – plumber or carpenter we will have something of interest to you to make your job easier
