Aluminium fanning for separating aluminium sheet blanks is a process which is set to achieve an immediate transformation in production in automotive press shops.
The new FPDB 2500/3 incorporates punching, drilling, scribe marking and thermal cutting - plasma-arc or oxy-fuel gas - in one machine.
The novel machine processes flat bar and plate stock from 6mm to 75mm thickness, with a capacity up to 2500mm wide and 6m infeed length.
Depending on part thickness, multiple hole diameters can be produced using punching or drilling.
The operator can then choose plasma-arc or oxy-fuel gas torches to cut to any desired contoured shape or length.
The scribe-marking unit can mill any identification number - regardless of height or orientation - in seconds.
A powerful software package is available to provide full nesting capability.
The one-pass design concept of the FPDB 2500 maximised plate productivity by eliminating unnecessary material handling.
The safety hazards normally associated with multiple parts handling of heavy plate sections is also reduced by the machine's efficient design.
