Strippit Press Brake With Wila Hydraulic Clamping

Good News! The PPEC is now available with Wila quick acting hydraulic clamping on the ram. The upper clamping system will be similar in function to the system provided on the PPEB series and will be integrated onto the machine. This unit is a direct replacement for the standard manual punch holders and offers the same working height with no change in the machine open space of 15.7”.

Quotes from Akron will now include this option for Wila New Standard and US tooling styles at a price of $990 a foot.

Lower hydraulic clamping is not available on this machine and will not be considered for any PPEC quotation.

We have a PPEC-7 80/25 and a PPEC-7 135/30 available for shipment from Akron before year end. The PPEC-7 80/25 will be completed by the end of October and the PPEC-7 135/30 will available to ship in early December.

Introducing the LVD Strippit – VX Series Maxiumum Punching Productivity

LVD Strippit VX Series Punch Press 300x240 Introducing the LVD Strippit – VX Series Maxiumum Punching Productivity

The new VX-Series delivers the highest level of punching productivity of any Strippit CNC turret punch press. A high-speed 20 metric ton hydraulic ram combined with a large, versatile 48-station turret and innovative table design makes this turret punch press 30% more productive than previous generation Global machines. An energy-saving hydraulic press drive and motor system optimized for high-speed operation generate fast axis speeds of up to 530 hits per minute on 1? (25 mm) centers and up to 1750 strokes per minute. Workpieces up to 330 lbs. (150 kg) are rapidly and accurately positioned thanks to an innovative table design. The Strippit VX-Series is equipped with three programmable, relocatable work clamps, which can be automatically positioned on the X carriage and individually relocated to a new position within the part program. This reduces or eliminates “no punch” zones, increasing material utilization. A double-track turret features four standard 3.5? (88,9 mm) auto indexable stations that utilize the latest wheel tool technology. Every station accepts shaped punches and dies and can be further enhanced with the addition of indexable multitools to expand turret capacity and flexibility. An energy reduction system (ERS) reduces machine energy consumption up to 15% (compared to previous LVD Strippit models), efficiently managing power usage. With an average power consumption of only 6.7 kW and standby of only

0.9 kW, the Strippit VX-Series is one of the world’s lowest energy consuming punch presses. For maximum productivity, all Strippit VX-Series punch presses can be furnished as automation ready and may be integrated with an optional, retrofitable automatic load/unload system, Pick-Sort material handling system or Compact Tower. With Strippit VX-series you can create a manufacturing cell.

Jet Edge Waterjet Helps Stop BP Gulf Oil Leak

Jet Edge and Chukar Waterjet Team up to Develop Water Jet System That Operates in Water Depths Exceeding 5,000 Feet

ST. MICHAEL, Minn. (July 21, 2010) – Water jet technology companies Jet Edge, Inc. and Chukar Waterjet, Inc. recently played a key role in helping BP stop the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The companies provided ultra-high pressure waterjet equipment and application expertise to blast away hydrate ice crystals that had formed inside a containment cap at the spill site, clogging the containment system.

Jet Edge custom engineered a 36,000 psi waterjet intensifier pump that was dropped 5,000 feet into the Gulf to power a robot-operated waterjetting lance that blasted away the hydrates. To ensure the hydrate remediation project’s success, Jet Edge utilized advanced filtration and ultra-high pressure seal technology capable of withstanding the harsh undersea environment. The system was designed to blast with sea water or liquid gas. As a result, Jet Edge developed the first-known waterjet system capable of operating in water depths in excess of 5,000 feet, opening a new frontier for waterjet technology.

Chukar Waterjet provided onsite applications engineering services throughout the project, working with a subsea technology company, an offshore logistics and supply company, an offshore transportation company, BP, and an independent safety group to ensure successful completion of the project.

Water Jet Pipe Cutting Machine

International Water Jet’s new WPC series pipe cutting machine is a versatile water jet system. As an example This system uses high pressure water jet for cutting composite material pipes that are not suitable by other types of cutting methods. This WPC is system can be used to cut pipes of various materials.

The machine system consists of a 50 k high pressure water pump, a cutting table (which will vary in size depending on pipe to be processed) with water jet cutting head and abrasive feeding system. The pump requires 3 phase electricity power supply of 220V — 480V, 50 or 60 Hz, (specified by the customer). The pressurized water is fed to the cutting head through a high pressure whip tubing. The water jet pump is 50 hp and when cutting with abrasive, the max thickness of mild steel is 60mm.

The cutting table can rotate the pipe when cutting. The rotation speed is adjustable to suit various cutting speed needs due to different wall thickness and type of the materials. Position of the cutting head is also adjustable to fit different diameters of the pipe. The cutting head can slide along the length of the table to choose desired cutting position. There is an abrasive hopper mounted on the same rail of the cutting head for feeding abrasive to the cutting head. Customer should specify the weight of the pipe when order the machine.

The wall thickness of pipe that can be cut depends on the type of material. Cutting speed also depends on the type of the material. Some materials may require adding abrasive to enable the cutting.

Special tracks can be ordered to cut different shapes of holes into the pipe wall instead of cutting off the pipe.

International water jet is a leader in manufacturing solutions.

More Than Just A Spindle Repair Company.

The other day we were contacted by a long time customer that required a Mori Seiki SH-50 Horizontal 10,000 RPM spindle repair. They were looking for a company that could not only rebuild the spindle but also provide a complete service call, including the removal and reinstallation of the spindle. TD Spindle repair stepped up to the plate with its 15 plus years of CNC machine tools repair experience.

This job was on the challenging side because the machine had crashed and the pallet changer clamps that lock the pallet to the rotary were all snapped in half. It was compounded by the customer’s inability to remove the spindle on their own. Service Manager, William Janes, implemented a plan that would take several hours but would remove the spindle without the use of the rotary table to pull the spindle out. Mel and I personally went out to oversee the project. As usual, William was right with the plan he came up with. William leaned on his many years of machine tool repair experience to remove this four foot monster of a spindle that clearly weighed over 500 pounds.

Now that the spindle has been completely removed, TD Spindle Repair can now begin to repair and rebuild it. TD Spindle repair offers this service to all our customers in Southern California. This makes TD Spindle Repair a unique player in the spindle repair and rebuild business.
