MADE ON A PUNCH PRESS
The Pullmax Series now forms part of the LVD punch press product range, providing
cost-effective punching, forming, marking, bending and tapping in a single machine.
LVD’s punch press product family now offers more choices and the greatest range of
flexibility of any punch press manufacturer.
An extremely efficient hydraulic punching unit combined with table accelerations
and speeds that match high hit rates make punching and forming operations highly
productive and lower the cost of per part production for prototypes, short or long run
operations. Punch sheets up to 60? x 120? (1500 x 3000 mm) without reposition in
0.135? (8 mm) material.
The Pullmax Series includes standalone machines and automated systems. Pullmax
520, 530, 720 and 730 punch presses offer an array of capabilities to maximize the
value added to components during the punching process.
We have listened to many excuses by new customers for not taking advantage of training offered by the OEM. For example, the flights and hotel cost are too expensive or I can’t have one of my most valuable employees away from the shop for that long. Well, factory training can be scheduled so it won’t interrupt daily workflow, your employee obtains crucial knowledge and spends time with factory personnel that have operated the machine you just purchased. Just think, when he has a problem he now has a factory friend he can contact. That may save you down time and repair costs down the road. Take the training it’s a great investment.
Caldwell Machinery Manufacturers provide training for the following machine lines:
Productivity and flexibility are two main requirements in today’s manufacturing industry. Higher demands on efficiency require more parts to be produced with a higher degree of automation. One decisive factor for unmanned production is material availability, with this feature the machine can produce several different parts in two different material types unmanned.
The Pullmatic 720/520 can be supplied with a fully automatic material handling system. The compact system will handle raw material and skeletons as well as punched and formed parts, on a compact layout of 70m² (753 sqf) including the punching machine. The handling system is fully integrated in the Pullmax O600 control system to ensure maximum flexibility and productivity. The modular design ensures the production requirements today and in the future.
The Pullmax X97 offers superior versatility. With motorized adjustment of beveling angles, choice of cutters, stationary or suspended operation, a full range of accessories, and pinpoint accuracy for a variety of shapes and sizes of work pieces. The PULLMAX X97 fits the work piece rather than forcing the work piece to fit the machine.
The bending process is similar to other automated panel bending systems where the blank is clamped and the flange is wiped up. However instead of the typical wiping tool a “pacman” tool is used. In the drawing below the green element is a spring, the rest is self explanatory.
Bend angles, flange lengths and flange orientation (rotary axes) are fully programmable. Unique part envelope allows automation for many parts that do not fit other systems.
LVD Strippit has recently completed the expansion of its in-house demonstration and training center in Akron, NY. The facility — over 9,000 square feet — showcases punching, bending and laser cutting equipment and includes a classroom training area, meeting rooms and visitor greeting area.
The expanded center provides LVD Strippit with a larger demonstration area and allows customers and visitors easy access to the company’s most advanced fabrication equipment. Machinery currently on display at the demonstration center includes a high-performance VT-Series CNC turret punch press, Orion laser cutting system, Axel flying optics laser cutting system, PPEB precision press brake with Easy-Form Laser adaptive bending system, economical SP Series press brake, and guillotine shear.
The machinery demonstration area is complemented by a spacious classroom for training on use of LVD Strippit’s CADMAN punching, bending and laser cutting software. The classroom is equipped with modern teaching tools. The combination of classroom training and machinery demonstration provides an ideal learning environment.
Are you manufacturing brackets, electronic chassis and assemblies? Do you require timely press Brake operations? Eliminate second operations! Save Money!
Parts such as brackets, electronic chassis and assemblies can be completed in the Pullmatic 720/520 punching machines instead of adding 1 or 2 operations in other machine types such as press brakes.
The Pullmatic 720/520 is designed for exceptional forming and bending capacity. With advanced PCU (Punch Unit Control) software the machine can be utilized in forming and bending operations that traditionally has been performed in press brakes. By decreasing the number of operations and finish parts with less handling and setup´s part value can in some cases be increased with up to 75%.
Forming operations such as knockouts, louvers and countersinks will be performed with high accuracy. The machines also have the capacity of bending flanges up to 75mm/3″ high. These bends can be performed in a variety of angles. Even parts that are not located in 0 or 90 degrees on the sheet can be formed, since the OptiBend feature includes auto index. Internal as well as external bends can be formed on the parts.
The Pullmatic 720/520 bends at least three times higher than most other punching machines.
