1406-i--.gif (30807 bytes)


Punching actions result when power is applied to a slide (ram) for the purpose of blanking, drawing, or stamping metal or other materials. The danger of this type of action occurs at the point of operation where the stock is inserted, held, and withdrawn by hand.

Typical machinery used for punching operations are power presses and iron workers.
