40-V cordless hole puncher works on-site, anywhere
- February 27, 2024
- Product Release
- Punching and Other Holemaking
Hougen Manufacturing has introduced a new battery-powered Hougen-Ogura Punch-Pro electrohydraulic portable hole puncher. The 76004PR model can be operated on-site where electric power may not be available or readily accessible. Its 40-V battery can generate 17 tons of force to punch round or oblong holes up to 25/32 in. dia. in 3/8-in. mild steel in as little as 4 seconds, the company reports. With a throat depth of 1-9/16 in., the unit can punch flat bar, angle iron, H-steel, and channel.
The 24.9-lb. puncher is suitable for applications typically performed with electric hand-held twist drills. The handle can be rotated 360 degrees in either direction during operation to allow working in narrow or awkward positions. The punch can be jogged down to the center mark to confirm hole location accuracy.
The machine includes the new power retractable punch system, which allows the operator to power-reverse the punch back out of hole. This helps improve productivity in harder, more elastic materials that tend to grip the punch and not allow it to auto-return to the home position after the hole is produced.
