DIN 24041 sets out the framework; we define the quality in detail. Whilst the standard allows for generous tolerances, at SCHÄFER we produce perforated sheets where reproducible accuracy is crucial. Find out why our perforated sheets offer more than just compliance with a standard.

DIN 24041 is the recognised standard governing dimensions and tolerances for perforated sheets. Whilst these tolerances are sufficient for many applications, they are often too broad for precision industrial applications. For us, therefore, complying with a ‘standard’ perforated sheet is not a goal, but a basic requirement.

Our aim is to consistently achieve tolerances that are tighter than those specified. Using modern punching and straightening technologies, we achieve dimensional accuracy and flatness that are significantly tighter than the standard requires. For you, this means: less rework, better fit in your assemblies and significantly improved processability.

Compliance with DIN 24041 ensures a basic level of comparability – however, it does not automatically prevent issues in downstream processes. Particularly in automated production steps such as welding, bending or joining, larger tolerances can lead to deviations. We minimise these risks through:

• Tighter tolerance ranges: More precise centre-to-centre hole distances and hole sizes than required by the standard.
• Excellent flatness: Thanks to high-performance levelling systems, we deliver sheets that minimise internal stresses.
• Symmetrical edges: Precise margins that enable seamless further processing in your systems.

Do not rely on the lowest common denominator of the industry. With SCHÄFER perforated metal, you choose a partner who understands standards as a foundation – and develops measurable added value from them.
