Tuesday, 5th January 2010

 

Dimeco Alipresse’s servo electric LinaPunch® MC-E is a new generation coil fed turret punching machine, that has been launched by Shear-Form Machine Tools Ltd, the Coventry based sheet metal and plate working machinery supplier’s and Dimeco Alipresse’s sole UK representative.

 

This new punching machine has been designed to improve productivity with higher speeds, give more flexibility and reduce by up to 50% energy costs in high quality high volume sheet metal fabrication especially in metal furniture and white goods applications.

 

The main feature of this machine is that only the tools move, which enables a higher punching rate and less energy. The 2 x 20 tons servo electric punching power is transferred to the ram through a knuckle system for a softer punching action and programmable stroke.

It is designed for coil strip up to 34” wide using one side tool holder and up to 68” using 2 sides tool holders facing each other.

 

Options include a punching tonnage monitoring including automatic toll brake control and tool lubrication with oil injection through the top of the tool using programmed oil quantities.
