New Punch Options Provide Increased Flexibility in Profile Nibbling
Thanks to new punch designs, the Tru- Tool PN 130 nibbler from Trumpf Inc., Farmington, CT, proves ideal for profile, corrugated and flat-sheet cutting often
found in roof and façade construction, plumbing and the heating and air-con- ditioning industry. A new standard feature of the profile nibbler is the HighSpeed
punch, which achieves quality cuts at a working speed of 10.5 ft./min. When the highest-quality cut is needed, the specially developed HighQuality punch supplies an extremely fine cut edge, produced at the slightly slower rate of 9 ft./min.
The ergonomic design of the electric nibbler, combined with a slim, light- weight and vibration-resistant structure, allows users to cut sheets as thick as 0.05 in., with optimum comfort and flex- ibility. The maneuverable tool is capable of cutting radii as small as 1 in., even in difficult to reach places.
A specially designed tool carrier pro- vides for fluid movement, and cutting direction can be adjusted 360 deg. for maximum flexibility. The quick tool- change feature permits the tool to be replaced in seconds.
