When manufacturing an aluminum single-glass sliding window, drilling holes with a drill machine not only wastes time but also lacks neatness. This is why hand press punching dies are used in factories and workshops. If you are making a single-glass window, four specific types of dies are used in it, whose job is to make perfect holes in different parts of the window.
Let's understand the actual job and procedure of these four dies in detail.
1 Water Drainage Hole Die for the Outer Frame
The die shown as number 1 in the picture is specific for the outer frame of the window.
Procedure and Usage: When rainwater falls on the window track, it is essential to drain it out. This die punches an oval-shaped perfect hole on the bottom track of the frame, from where the water easily flows out and does not enter inside the room.
2 Outer Frame Joints Connecting Die
The die number 2 in the picture is used to fit all four pieces of the outer frame together using screws.
Procedure and Usage: To join the frame from all four sides, holes have to be made at the very ends of these pieces. This die punches holes at these corners in the exact correct position so that when screws are applied, the joints of the frame sit tightly together and the window does not become crooked. Fitting holes in the frame are also made with this die.
3 Mosquito Net Shutter Assembly and Wheel Hole Die
The die number 3 in the picture is related to the shutter inside which the mosquito net or mesh is fixed and slides.
Procedure and Usage: This die performs two major jobs. First, it punches screw holes at the corners of the mosquito net shutter sections to join them from all four sides. The second and most important job is that it creates the specific space and holes in the bottom part of the same shutter to fit the sliding wheel so that the mosquito net shutter can run smoothly on the track.
4 Glass Shutter Assembly Die
The die number 4 in the picture is for the main shutter of the window inside which the glass is fitted.
Procedure and Usage: The glass shutter that slides on the track is most important to join tightly from all four sides because it carries the weight of the glass. This die cleanly punches holes at the ends of this shutter's sections to fix screws, making the entire glass panel solid and secure. This die also makes the sliding wheel hole in the window.
Summary
Without these four hand press dies, it is impossible to manufacture a professional and durable aluminum window. They speed up the fabrication work and bring such neatness to the window fitting that the window works perfectly for years without any problem.
