The device (10) includes a pair of parallel guide members (24, 26) mounted to a pair of slide members (28, 30) which are coupled to move in opposite directions. The slide members (28, 30) are adjustable to vary the space between the guide members (24, 26) and are actuated by an actuating rod on the press (16) to close down the space between the guide members (24, 26) when the press (16) is down during the punching operation to grasp the strip material (12) between the guide members (24, 26).</p> |
