PASS Knock-Out Technologyfor defined knock-outs direct at bendings |
06.06.2011 |
In the daily life, installers and electricians are confronted with the challenge to position cables in the correct position of an electrical case.
Therefore knock-outs punched into the sheets are designed to make it easier for the installer to remove on-site knock-outs that best fit their needs.
Disadvantages of this process:
- Knockouts next to the bending area are not possible to make as the standard knockout tools would deform the knockout
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The remove of the slug can only be made in ONE direction (direction of knockout)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The connections made by production of the knockout feature a very high sharp-edged burr when breaking out the slug. This can damage the cable at time of assemble.

With the new Knock-Out Technology of PASS Stanztechnik AG (patent pending) the slug is no longer held with tabs but with a defined ring ligament. At the flattening operation the slug is sheared
off and pressed back.
The advantage of this operation can be seen in the defined knock-outs next to the formed area. The knock-outs can be removed from either side. Furthermore no sharp-edged connections
appear after the remove of the slug.
 
Suitable for all standard sheet types and sheet thicknesses as well as surface coatings.
