Maybe a manual tape punch? But there'd have to be some kind of control we can't see to set the punched value, or maybe just select an individual row element to punch. Then I'd speculate the big grey button is does the punching.

It vaguely reminds me of a gadget we used to make vertical control tapes for the line printer in our little college data center. That tape set the form length and you could optionally punch in vertical tab stops, if memory serves.

But our punch was a lot simpler, just a plate with an alignment grid and a sliding punch, I think.
