Punch presses offer safe and fast toolchanging
Punch head holder supplied on Manual and CNC punching machines opens from the front to give an extremely safe and fast tool changing capability.
Corrections to angle of bend etc on the press brake are automatically sent to the robot, with no need for time consuming manual adjustments of the robot.
Our unique software which allows programme simulation and generation offline for the press brake and the robot can come from a single DXF file, this reduces the overall programming and set up time, allowing the system to be justified even for relatively small batch size production.
Delivered on a single plinth the floor space requirement is kept to a minimum.
Installation or repositioning of the cell in the factory is therefore extremely easy, giving a highly flexible automated press brake solution with software that will revolutionise your press brake production.
With the first cell due for delivery in the UK this year, the concept has already been warmly received by the Fabrication industry.
Marketing and support will come from UK Machine Tools and the UK based Robot supplier.
