Turret Punch Presses
Boast Additional
Turret Capacity
LVD Strippit, Akron, NY, introduces the Strippit M-Series of mid-range 20-met- ric-ton CNC turret punch presses, which feature a 51-percent larger turret capac- ity (47 stations) compared to previous models. Equipped with the firm’s Energy Reduction System (ERS), M-Series press- es consume as much as 30 percent less electrical power than comparable machines and are less costly to operate and maintain. Included are three 3.5-in. auto-index stations and four 2-in. stations. Each station accepts shaped punches and dies and can be enhanced with the addition of indexable multi-tools.
Strippit M-Series machines are equipped with an advanced servo-driven hydraulic press drive capable of axis speeds to 380 hits/min. on 1-in. centers, and 900 hits/min. on 0.04-in. centers. Maximum
sheet size: 49.21 by 98.4
in. without clamp reposi-
tioning. Maximum work-
piece thickness: 1⁄4 in. Fab-
ricators can use the press
to form lances, louvers,
embossments and card guides
due to a 0.984-in. maximum feed clearance between the upper and lower turrets. LVD Strippit: 800/828-1527; www.lvdgroup.com
