Cam shaft operated punch press for expanding lead alloy battery grid material

摘要

A punching apparatus for punching a strip of lead alloy material into a battery grid is provided with a support for supporting the material to be punched thereon and biased punch members above the support for punching through the material. Rotating cams engage the punch members and force the punch members downward through the material on the support. Rollers provided adjacent the support and the material to be punched move the material across the support means synchronously with the motion of the rotating cams engaging the punches.
