Abstract

The invention relates to a punch machine for punching a panel in which the position of each hole to be made is identified by a mark. The machine comprises a structure for receiving said panel, said structure presenting X and Y directions; means for holding said panel relative to the structure; at least four punch blocks secured to a support, each punch block having at least one punch carrier tool and at least one matrix carrier assembly; means for displacing each punch block separately in the X and Y directions and in rotation; optical means for comparing the position of each punch block with said mark; and means for separately controlling the displacement means in response to position error information.
