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.

Air to oil powered three platen punch press

Air to oil powered three platen punch press

Air to oil powered three platen press product line is the most versatile of all the portable and modular presses offered by Vortool Manufacturing. It is well suited for steel rule die tooling, or to process e.g. aluminum extrusion punching, using multiple stations. 

This combination press / four post tool also called the "Three Platen Punch Press" is accessible from all four sides. Multiple work stations can be mounted inside or around the perimeter of the press to utilize maximum usability while lowering the tooling cost per station at the same time.

• A wide selection of sizes available from a miniature of 4" x 6" inner work area to 36" x 36" or larger custom specified dimensions and anything between.

• Tooling could be mounted directly to the detachable transfer plates.

• The four post precision guide system ensures superior tooling alignment for punching, piercing, notching, blanking or forming.

• The power source could be as small as a 200 lbs capacity compact air cylinder for the smallest model, or it can be as powerful as your application needs it to be, using hydraulic power for up to 80 tons.

• The unit can be directly mounted on a bench top, or shipped with a dedicated stand. The stand could be anchored to the floor or have lockable casters for even grater mobility.

• The operator control is also fully customizable from our standard two push button system with anti tie down module* to a foot pedal, a pedestal style, or a non contact finger sensor system.

• As part of the custom options, when the part(s) are nested and are in the correct position, the press can be activated automatically. There may be a selectable PLC controlled operating system to cover all variations of your process.

• Safety devices are available from simple physical guards to light curtains to keep the operator(s) safe and meet any government or company standard.

• The material that is used for the press' components could be steel, aluminum or stainless steel, whether the press is used in a general factory environment, in a medical facility or in the food industry.

*Anti tie down module: It is a safety device that controls how the two push buttons function. The buttons must be pressed at the same time within few milliseconds. If one button pressed only or one button pushed after the other, the system will not activate. The operator’s both hands are occupied while the press is being activated and is in motion.

Pillar Punch Presses are attractive for their ability to adapt easily for using different type, size or capacity power units that can be mounted on the top surface of the two upper railings. These models are best to be used with hydraulic power.

• Pillar Punch Presses are an excellent choice for budget oriented applications, yet high output or tonnage is required.

• Your existing blanking and or forming tools can be installed with ease, or custom designed tools may be supplied with the press.

• Operator control, mounting of the press, and safety devices are similar to the other presses and should be specified before ordering pillar punch presses from Vortool Manufacturing Ltd..

• The physical size and capacity of any of the presses may be specified, or can be chosen for you based on the project that you wish to use the press for.
