Semi-automatic punch press shears angles
Semi-automatic and automatic punch presses shear right angle profiles and strip, positioning them first using a material tracking system - all operated by touch-screen CNC.
Geka, Spain, has introduced the C2PL - an automatic punching and shearing press - or steelworker - for processing angle angles, from 40 up to 80mm in 'L' profile There is also the semi-automatic SEMI-PAXY to solve the problem of material positioning before punching flats and profiles

* Geka C2PL - has a material tracking system, two punching units (one for each leg of the angle) with a fixed back mark (manually adjustable on an easy way) and a shearing unit, all of them controlled by a CNC with a touch screen.
Companies needing to process large amounts of small angles are going to find a fully automatic and really productive solution in the C2PL at a very reasonable price.
It takes less than 2s to make a punching or shearing operation.
With these new models Geka increases its machine range for working with thick material, market where it continues being the worldwide leader.
* Geka SEMI-PAXY - the positioning of the stops is completely automatic and it is programmed from the control.
Geka has also developed the GekaPro-PC positioning control that runs the Semi-Paxy table.
It is a windows based control with a touch screen where the operator can design the parts he wants to process.
It is a visual and a very easy to use solution.
Among its applications, there is the possibility of importing DXF and DSTV files, saving a lot of time on the designing process.
