Modular press using multiple punch stations

Modular press using multiple punch stations

The modular press using multiple punch station product line by Vortool Manufacturing Ltd. contain a number of individual (portable) presses that are linked together and activated as one.

• For generic or budget oriented projects C frame presses are the most suitable.

• Other models may be used as well as custom solutions that are designed for the specific need of the process.

• Modular presses are excellent to process aluminum extrusions with great lengths and multiple holes, slots, etc. to be punched at once at the full length of the extrusion.

• The process time is minimal, compared to conventional methods where individual holes had to be drilled or punched one at a time. The quality is more predictable and repeatable.

• Multi axis power unit mounts are available to work horizontally or in an angle within the same machine.

• Drilling units can be also used to work along with the cylinders.

• Extrusion positioning and clamping can be automated. The function can be monitored by a PLC to ensure trouble free operation and keep the required quality under control.

• Safety devices may be installed, depending of your company or government requirements.

Ball bearing guided high precision progressive tool for high speed automated production

Stamped metal parts usually require more than one operation in one. This progressive metal stamping tool produces a high volume mounting bracket that pierces holes, blanks out a shape by cutting the strip into separate parts and finally folds the part into an L shape. At each hit a final product falls off at the end of the tool. It is made for a high production automated punch press using coil and an air feeder for continuous operation.

This progressive die design consists all the necessary features that any stamping tool should have from ease of use through high accuracy to reliable operation for a long time. It includes strip feed and guide, stripping, slug separation, and feeder actuation. As an option the tool can be used as a manually operated tool without the air feeder using strips instead of coil.

The cutting components are designed to be made of hardened tool steel that ensures the long usability. Choosing the right alloy for the application and the proper design of the tool can greatly effect the life of the tool. As a result it can operate trouble free for longer, saving on maintenance. It can also reduce or eliminate downtime and minimize costs that are associated with the value of the final product.
The progressive tooling was designed using SolidWorks 3D CAD. Shop drawings, and files generated from the models are seamlessly fit into any machine shop or tool room's profile.
