MACHINE AND METHOD FOR PUNCHING A BOX-SHAPED ELEMENT OR SUCHLIKE
Machine for punching a box-shaped element (11), or suchlike, comprising at least one punching head (12) provided with at least one punch (13) and translatable in a direction (Al) toward or away from a substantially vertical side (14) of the box- shaped element (11) and at least one counter-head (15) that contrasts the punching head (12), wherein the side (14) of the box-shaped element (11) is positioned during use between the punching head (12) and the counter-head (15), wherein the counter-head (15) is configured to be inserted inside the box- shaped element (11) and to rest against an internal surface of the side (14) in order to maintain the box-shaped element (11) in position on a work plane (17), and wherein the punching head (12) is translated toward the counter-head (15) in the direction (Al) so as to perforate the side (14) by means of the punch (13) and make at least one through hole (18) therein.
A machine to work a box-like element or similar includes a cutting unit to cut a strip-like element on a corresponding lying plane in a first substantially plane configuration; a loading unit with a thrust blade translatable in a first direction; a folding and insertion unit having a housing seating of the strip-like element that is directed substantially orthogonally to said lying plane, so that after translation of the thrust blade in said first direction the strip-like element is introduced into said housing seating, assumes a “U” shape and has flaps and a connection part; said folding and insertion unit being translatable in a second direction to at least partly insert said flaps in a slit in the box-like element; and an attachment unit of part of said flaps inside said box-like element on which the slit is made, so that the connection part protrudes from the box-like element.
Machine to work a box-like element (23, 24) or suchlike, comprising at least a work apparatus (22) provided with: at least a cutting unit (43) to cut at least a strip-like element (35) positioned on a corresponding lying plane (G) in a first substantially plane configuration; at least a loading unit (45) provided with at least a thrust blade (70) translatable in a first direction (T3); at least a folding and insertion unit (46) provided with a housing seating (84) of the strip-like element (35), said housing seating (84) being directed substantially in an orthogonal direction with respect to said lying plane (G ) of the strip-like element (35) in said first substantially plane configuration, so that following the translation of the thrust blade (70) in said first direction (T3) the strip-like element (35) is introduced into said housing seating (84), assumes a substantial "U" shape and has at least a pair of flaps (41 ) and at least a connection part (42); said folding and insertion unit (46) being translatable in a second direction (T4) toward the box-like element (23, 24) so as to at least partly insert said pair of flaps (41 ) in a slit (26) made in the box-like element (23, 24); and at least an attachment unit (51 ) of part of said flaps (41 ) of the strip-like element (35) inside said box-like element (23, 24) on which the slit (26) is made, so that at least the connection part (42) protrudes from the box-like element (23, 24).
