Kaltenbach launches punching/shearing duo
Kaltenbach has introduced two machines for the punching and shearing of angle and flat materials. The KPS-A 167 and KPS-A 207 replace the previous generation KPS models and have been redesigned from the ground up.
Both machines are designed primarily for processing angle materials up to 160 x 160 x 25 mm, and 200 x 200 x 25 mm respectively. Optionally, flat materials up to 170 mm wide can also be processed. The machines feature two punching units for use with six punch and die sets which are designed for swift and efficient tooling change via a 'slide-in' combined tool cassette design.
The KPS machines also include shear units with multi-use knives, permitting the shear knife to be rotated by 90° as it wears by up to four times before replacement. This increases the life of the overall tool while keeping tooling costs to a minimum.
