An assembly includes a punch and a clamping assembly. The punch includes a body having a front end and a rear end. The front end has a cutting edge. A passageway extends through the body and a counterbore is provided proximate to a second end of the body. The clamping assembly includes first and second jaws pivotally attached to each other. Each jaw includes a main body having a nose extending from a front surface thereof. The nose has an outer surface which has a diameter which is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body. When the clamping assembly is mated with the punch, the noses seat within the counterbore, and the front surfaces of the main bodies engage against the rear end of the body of the punch.

In a punch device (100) with a marking element (110) for marking drilled holes to be applied with positional accuracy for the purpose of the positionally accurate positioning of an object to be attached to a wall (200), in situ correctable and thus accurately definable marking of drilled holes to be inserted into a wall (200) for the attachment of objects to the wall (200) is achieved in that the marking element (110) at least for the most part is reciprocally mounted inside a housing (120), which is provided with a front positioning element (130) close to the wall provided with a central opening (131) for mounting a supporting element (150) connected to the marking element (110) for positioning the punch device (100) on a wall (200), as well as with a mounting element (140) provided with a drilled hole (141) for mounting a supporting element (150) connected to the marking element (110), which mounting element has a means for the releasable attachment of the punch device (100) to the object to be attached to the wall (200).

Hydraulic tool for driving a pulling and/or pressing device, comprising a drive shaft that can be mounted to a screwdriver, wherein the drive shaft is operable to drive a hydraulic pump that pumps hydraulic fluid into the operating chamber of a hydraulic power piston. The hydraulic tool may in particular be configured as a riveting or punching attachment for a cordless screwdriver.

An apparatus for creating holes in a workpiece includes a knockout punch tool having a movable piston. The apparatus also includes a draw stud assembly having a connector attachable to the movable piston, a draw stud, and a quick connect mechanism including mating first and second thread segments on the connector and the draw stud, respectively. The connector and the draw stud are movable between a first relative orientation where the mating first and second thread segments are misaligned to permit axial movement between the connector and the draw stud, and a second relative orientation where the mating first and second thread segments are aligned and engaged to inhibit axial movement between the connector and the draw stud.

A draw stud assembly for use with a knockout punch tool having a movable piston, includes a connector attachable to the movable piston, a draw stud, and a quick connect mechanism. The quick connect mechanism includes mating first and second thread segments on the connector and the draw stud, respectively. The connector and the draw stud are movable between a first relative orientation where the mating first and second thread segments are misaligned to permit axial movement between the connector and the draw stud, and a second relative orientation where the mating first and second thread segments are aligned and engaged to inhibit axial movement between the connector and the draw stud.

A numerical controller controlling punching performs punching according to a machining program, detects a phenomenon that the punching is not normally completed, collects and stores information required for re-execution of a block in which the phenomenon is generated, and restores a machining state at the time of occurrence of the phenomenon and further re-executes the punching by using the information.

A punch tool for forming holes or apertures in workpieces. The tool includes a primary cylinder containing a movable ram and a secondary cylinder containing another movable ram. The primary and secondary cylinders are in hydraulic communication with each other. The primary cylinder is releasably engageable with a powered press tool and various dies or punches can be attached at the secondary cylinder. Systems of powered tools and the punch tools, and methods of forming holes in workpieces using the punch tools.

A drilling jig for drilling a punching hole with a boundary between a basis material and a coating of a workpiece less noticeable, and a drilling method using this drilling jig. It includes a male blade, a female blade, and a hexagon bolt; the male blade and the hexagon bolt are capable of being coupled to each other; a screw hole, through which the hexagon bolt is inserted, and a blade portion are formed in the male blade; the blade portion has a planar blade surface; a shaft insertion hole, through which the hexagon bolt is inserted, and a blade portion housing hole capable of housing the blade portion are formed in the female blade, whereby the boundary between the basis material and the coating of a bumper can be positioned on the inside of the punching hole, preventing the appearance of the punching hole from being impaired.

A hand-held knockout punch driver includes a housing, a motor, a drive assembly with an output member movable relative to the housing, and a head unit removably coupled to the housing. The head unit includes a body, an input member movable relative to the body, and a draw rod to which a punch or a die is attachable. The draw rod is configured to move axially relative to the body in response to movement of the input member relative to the body. The knockout punch driver also includes a quick-release mechanism to removably couple the body to the housing. The output member is configured to engage the input member such that the input member moves relative to the body in response to movement of the output member relative to the housing, and the body engages the quick release mechanism separately from engagement between the output member and the input member.

A hand-held knockout driver includes a main housing having a handle portion, a motor positioned within the main housing, a pump assembly driven by the motor, and a secondary housing coupled to the main housing and defining a bore therein. The hand-held knockout driver also includes a working piston moveable within the bore from a rest position to an actuated position to define a piston throw distance therebetween. The hand-held knockout driver also includes a draw stud coupled to the working piston, a die coupled to the secondary housing, and a punch coupled to the draw stud opposite the working piston for movement therewith relative to the die. The die has a depth greater than the piston throw distance.
