Prima launches SGe5 punch-shear combination machine
The Prima Power SGe5 combination punch and right angle shear uses servo electric motors which result in low power consumption and low noise levels of 73.3 dB, compared with 84 dB for a hydraulic machine, says the company. The concept is to operate without human intervention from the blank to the automated sorting of the finished parts into bins.
Suitable for short runs of components, the SGe5 enables the mixing of different parts on one sheet. For largely rectangular components the result can be zero or virtually zero material wastage as the right angle shearing can split parts in a single stroke without the need for a skeleton. Furthermore, the shearing operation results in a high quality edge without any nibbling marks, says Prima.
With the option for part sorting and picking, up to 12 different component types are sorted along conveyors.
