For square and rectangular cut-outs in sheet steel (S235) and stainless steel sheet

ALFRA sheet metal punchers® FormCut® and FormCut®+

Square and rectangular cut-outs are standard in the machining of control cabinet enclosures – for example, for heavy-duty connectors, fans or displays.  The same applies to components made of stainless steel. Precise results, an efficient workflow and as little rework as possible are crucial here.
The FormCut® and FormCut+® sheet metal punchers from ALFRA / Rittal Automation Systems impress not only with their precise results, but also with additional features designed for maximum user-friendliness. The side-mounted punch-out mechanism prevents the waste piece from jamming in the die, whilst cross-hair markings facilitate central alignment. This saves time and ensures a reliable machining process.


The FormCut® is designed for punching holes in sheet steel (S235) and is ideally suited to typical applications in control and switchgear engineering. The FormCut+® was developed specifically for working with stainless steel and is therefore the ideal solution for sectors with high demands on corrosion-resistant materials, such as the food industry.


Both product ranges are compatible with various ALFRA manual and hydraulic punching machines and offer a cost-effective solution for precise punching without the need for time-consuming reworking.

Sophisticated die-cut guidance

The intelligent guidance system prevents the die-cut waste from becoming jammed in the die. This ensures optimised processes by eliminating unnecessary manual steps.

  • Unobstructed die, no loss of time
  • Smooth punching process
  • Uninterrupted punching

Integrated positioning aid

Thanks to the cross-hair markings, the sheet metal punch can be easily centred. This makes positioning easier and ensures consistently precise punching results.

  • Faster positioning
  • Less time spent on measuring and making adjustments, particularly during batch production
  • Improvements in repeatability
  • Fewer mis-punches caused by incorrect positioning
  • Easier to use, even for less experienced users

 

Instantly marked drilling positions

Four integrated centre pins mark the mounting holes – precisely and without any additional steps.

  • Automatic marking of drilling positions upon contact
  • No separate marking or measuring required
  • Quick and precise preparation of mounting holes
  • Ideal for heavy-duty connectors

Precision cut-outs for fans and filter fans

Standard dimensions punched directly – clean, precise and without time-consuming reworking.

  • Common cut-outs for fans and filter fans available
  • Precision-fit cut-outs in a single operation
  • No sawing, filing or reworking
  • Ideal for switchgear and control panel construction

 

All the benefits of FormCut® – designed for stainless steel

Stainless steel is more demanding to machine than structural steel. The FormCut+®
was developed specifically to meet this challenge and delivers precise results in a single operation – ideal for applications in the food industry and wherever corrosion-resistant materials are used.

  • Reduces the machining effort compared to cutting processes such as sawing or filing
  • Optimised parts guidance prevents the blank from jamming in the die
  • Cross-hair markings facilitate quick and precise positioning
  • Ideal for repetitive applications requiring consistently high-quality results
