Automatic Line for Punching and Shearing of Flats

April 1, 2010

The Geka Alfa 150 automatic line for punching and shearing of flats, developed by Comeq Inc., White Marsh, MD, boasts a small footprint due to its compact self-contained design.

The machine will process 4-in. x ½-in. and 6-in. by 3⁄8-in. copper flats, and includes two CNC-selected punches that can be of two different diameters. Also included is a special nondeforming shearing system. The Geka Alfa 150 employs a simple CNC control for X and Y positioning, to ensure accurate hole punching.

Comeq representatives say that the company is experiencing an influx of energy-related industry requests for the high-volume fabrication of copper bus bar, and that the Geka Alfa 150 is the perfect machine for the job since bus-bar fabrication requires multiple holes be punched in multiple places for connection purposes.
