Cut box

Electricity

2 Part | 4 Forming type | 8 Cutting tools

A small box with lock to safeguard electrical or similar items. In addition to the thin design elements, there are precision fit plug-in devices on both sides of the box. The easily handled deburred cover can be fastened with the help of countersunk screws on a cold formed thread and stability is provided by a clip joint.

Basic knowledge used on this part:

Back

You can see the cut connection on the right-hand side. This confers great dimensional stability and, therefore, load capacity to the highly bent tabs of the box. On the left-hand side you can see the formed thread that is designed for screwing in the cover.

Here you can see the clip connection used. The centring projection of the Z pin is pressure fitted into the office to fasten it. The clip connection has the advantage of quick assembly and disassembly.

The countersinks of the cover mean that the countersunk head screws used disappear nearly completely into the box.

A great advantage: the component leaves the punching machine with the edges now folded by 60%. The result is more efficient and cheap production.
