LVD Strippit M-1525 turret punch press processes big sheets with only one re-positioning

The Strippit M-1525 features a versatile large-capacity 47-station turret that minimises set-up time to increase machine productivity. The punch press is equipped with three 88.9 mm auto-index stations and four 50.8 mm stations to accommodate large punching and forming operations. Every station accepts shaped punches and dies and can be enhanced with the addition of indexable multi-tools to further expand turret capacity and flexibility while reducing set-up time. Quick-change die holders also minimise tool changeover time. LVD says the Strippit M-1525 accepts the latest in tooling technology, including special forming tools, wheel-style tooling, tapping and deburring systems. Hardened steel guide bushings and hardened shot pins provide precise alignment of punch and die for exceptional hole quality and long tool life. Bi-directional turret rotation automatically selects the shortest possible route to the next punching station for fast station-to-station positioning resulting in higher productivity. The Strippit M-1525 uses an advanced servo-driven hydraulic press drive optimised for high performance operation. Axis speeds of up to 400 hits per minute on 25 mm centres and up to 850 hits per minute on 1 mm centres can be achieved. Material utilisation is further optimised with Smart Clamp, a standard feature that automatically determines exact clamp locations to reduce set-up time and ensure work clamp protection. All Strippit M-Series machines feature a full 25 mm feed clearance between the upper and lower turret, allowing for the production of higher forms such as lances, louvres, embossments or card guides. The machine employs easy to use and proven PC-based Fanuc control.
