TECHNICAL DATA
ON PERFORATED METAL

Perforated metal has a wide array of functions, features, advantages, and applications. Perforated metal is employed in various industries worldwide. With progression in manufacturing technology, we can obtain a variety of hole patterns and shapes. Moreover, perforation on metal is now achieved in large quantities within a short time.

Margins & Perforated Areas

A major advantage of perforated metal plates is that they can be produced with unperforated or plain margins on 4 sides or with perforated areas of various shapes alternating with unperforated areas. This is particularly important if the metal plates must subsequently be finished by bending &/or Ranging or by adding xing holes.

Designers can exploit the capabilities of modern punching presses to obtain a perforated plate that can be directly transformed into a finished product, without the need for additional components.

A technical drawing is certainly needed to dene the shape & size of a metal sheet with irregular full areas alternating with perforated areas. The full areas & margins are always measured outside the edge of the holes. Technical drawings show perforated metal plates from the punch entry side. It is in any case advisable to specify the burr side for asymmetrical perforated plates. This becomes mandatory if the plates are to undergo additional operations such as bending. We should note that wide margins or large unperforated areas make it difficult to obtain perfect at sheets. The mechanical stress of perforation causes bulging & buckling that, in extreme cases, cannot be corrected even with highly sophisticated levelling rolls. Large unperforated areas can also produce dimensional changes during perforation & levelling. A final trimming operation, therefore, becomes necessary when tolerances are tight. Because of the substantial irregularities that result from perforation, trimming causes the size of the margins to differ from the nominal values.
