Transformer Laminations Power/Hydraulic Cutting Tool

06/16/2010 6:07 AM

Transformer Laminations are cut in different shapes as required i.e: EI, EE,E,El etc. and this is done usually by big machines. I am looking for a small portable power/hydraulic machine that can do the same job. Cut laminations from 10 to 100mm + width. If there is one that cannot cut shapes but straight cuts only that one will do as well?

Could you build one out of a basic hydraulic press?

Greenlee is one manufacturer of hand-operated hydraulic punches, commonly known as "knockout punches." The punches and dies come in round, square, and other shapes. They are sold by electrical wholesale and tools suppliers.

Google "Greenlee" and you will find their Website, along with many other places that sell their tools. Google "McMaster-Carr" or "Grainger" and you can get catalogs from these industrial warehouses, which accept credit card orders. I don't know if they ship world-wide.
