Geka’s gooseneck holder punching machine allows the punching of a wide variety of U-profiles and angles in both web and flanges. The user will be able to punch in almost any angle leg as a standard feature by simply removing the front detachable part of the worktable and in web and flanges for U-profiles by removing the fixed part of the factory fitted worktable. This option comes as a standard feature factory-fitted in all GEKA ironworkers and punching machines, except for the machines in the Microcrop line.
One possibility offered by the gooseneck holder punching machine is of being used for double punching- type actions.
