Energy-Efficient Servo-Electric Punch Press
LVD Strippit introduced its new Strippit E Series servo- electric punch press, offering high energy efficiency and exceptional accuracy for punching and forming applications. The machine delivers 20 metric tons of punching capacity and handles worksheets to
49.2 by 98.4 in. A larger model, Strip-
pit E-1530,
handles sheet
sizes to 60 by
120 in. The
electric drive’s
streamlined
design has
fewer compo-
nents than hydraulic punching machines and fewer parts than most comparable electric punch presses, keeping oper- ation and maintenance costs low while ensuring reliable performance and high uptime.
A 47-station turret provides stations that accept shaped punches and dies, indexable multi-tool, tapping, and wheel tools. A full 0.984-in. feed clearance between the upper and lower turret allows for higher forms such as lances, louvers, embossments or card guides. Precise programmable ram control produces accurate results for forming operations. LVD Strippit: www.lvdgroup.com
Quick-Change Tools for Robot Arms
Suhner Industrial Products’ new quick-change tool system includes power-pack machine tools for direct mounting on robotic arms. The tools feature programmable touch forces of the active flange and interactive surface tracking, allowing automation for
operations pre-
viously unsuit-
able for
automation.
Other features
include pro-
grammable
process forces,
balanced toler-
ances (shapes)
and reduced programming time for complex parts. Performance and process assurance, when compared to known systems such as load cells, can increase significantly, says a company representative. Applications for the robot tools range from automotive to deburring operations, stainless-steel machining to drilling and tapping operations, and all areas of manufacturing and operations.
