Secondary - Panel Punching
(Revised: 10/23/20)

Standard Panel Punching:

Girts, Purlins, Headers, and Eave Struts

Secondary Length + 1/2" must be divisible by 3".

A Special Mark Number will be supplied if Secondary Length + 1/2" is not divisible by 3".

Inset Girts

Must use Punch 9 (Inset notch)
AND
Secondary Length + 2 1/2" must be divisible by 3".

A Special Mark Number will be supplied if Secondary Length + 2 1/2" is not divisible by 3".

Secondary Data:

Notes:

1.)    This feature is only available with Butler Secondary, it is not described in the Vision Screen Help.

2.)    This feature is only available on Girts & Purlins. NOT Truss Purlins!                                                                

 

         

 

Panel Punch Start

The Panel Punch Start dimension is viewed from left to right on the elevation / plan view.
Regardless of panel direction or secondary orientation (flipped).

Panel Start Dimension

The Panel Punch Start dimension is automatically updated based on the 1st panel set location on the surface. The Direction of the Panel is also used to determine the location of the Panel Punching.


Note: If the Panel Punch Start Dimension is revised prior to revising the panel set locations. Changes to the panel set locations will not automatically updated the Secondary Start Dimension.

 

Secondary Data- Properties - Holes / Subunits:

Hole Location / Symmetrical

Hole Location Data sent to PIM / Compass is shown.
These locations are consistent regardless of orientation.

From the Hole Location, Manufacturing will punch the Panel Holes 3" o.c.

Note: Manufacturing may alter the data referring to the first panel hole location at different manufacturing locations based on the secondary line / equipment setup.

 

Parts List

Only the Hole Location (not the Symmetrical) will be listed on the Vision Parts List.

Note: If the Location or Symmetrical hole dimension is <7/8”, the dimension will be displayed in Vision and on all Engineering Reports. But manufacturing will not punch panel holes < 7/8" from the end of the secondary member.

Panel Punching Data used for Secondary Detailing

General

Panel Punching is 3” o.c. along a surface

Start Panel Punching at the 1st Panel Location on the surface, not the building line
Eave Strut Punching is based on the roof if the wall punching is not aligned
