Device for perforating an acoustic annular panel for a turbine engine, wherein it includes a perforation needle support ring, the ring having an axis A of revolution and being intended to be inserted substantially coaxially inside the panel, the ring being sectored and including ring sectors regularly distributed around the axis and each one radially mobile opposite the axis from a radially inner rest position up to a perforation position of the radially outer panel, and at least one rotating actuator of rotation axis A and mechanically connected to the ring sectors such that a rotation of the actuator leads to a radial movement of the ring sectors.

Systems, methods, and devices for perforating louver perforations into a pipe are contemplated. Systems, methods, and devices for transporting pipes for perforation are contemplated. Systems, methods, and devices for performing quality control inspections of such perforations contemplated. A pipe may be oriented vertically and raised over a device that punches perforations into the pipe from the inside of the pipe toward the outside of the pipe. Various supports may contact the pipe for stabilization and to facilitate the formation of perforations without removing cut away pieces from the pipe. Electronic monitoring of the features of the pipe facilitate quality control inspection during processing. In this manner, a structurally robust pipe having a series of louver perforations along the pipe may be formed.

An apparatus and method for puncturing a pipe in-situ is presently disclosed. The apparatus has an actuator in communication with a remote controller. A firing assembly has a firing chamber and a firing pin, wherein the firing pin is in communication with the actuator. The firing chamber is configured to hold and fire a bullet radially toward the pipe, upon the firing pin being actuated with the actuator. The method includes the steps of inserting a pipe puncturing apparatus into a pipe, activating an actuator, communicating the activation of the actuator to a hammer and moving a firing pin in the hammer to impinge a cartridge and fire a bullet.
