The punch presses range from manually operated models with stops set by hand or equipped with a digital readout, up to programmable CNC machines. Models with twin or triple punching heads are available. Sheet sizes up to 3,000 by 1,500 mm can be accommodated and the machines are particularly fast in operation, with 67 m/min positioning in X and Y simultaneously and stroke rates up to 800 per minute. Combicut machines include plasma cutting and forming of sheet up to 3,000 by 1,500 mm. Proprietary FineFocus plasma technology allows clean, dross-free cut edges and positioning tolerance ± 0.2 mm with 0.03 mm repeatability. The plasma head is mounted on a separate frame from the punching head to ensure vibration-free plasma cutting. The range of hydraulic notching machines is equipped with the patented tri-guide system, ensuring high accuracy and reliability.
