Simply download your DXF
files, affix your part to the work holder frame, set the machine
punching parameters and you are ready to run. The machine will
punch your array of high quality holes, precisely and accurately,
part after part.
Press the raise arm button and the
hinged punch arm lifts to facilitate quick and easy punch and die
changes. Punches and/or dies can be changed within minutes
right on the machine. No need to align die to punches;
completely and reliably self-aligning.
Round, clean, burr free
holes even in the thinnest of materials. Straight, smooth
walls, with no "cratering", "bell-mouth" or "blow-out".
Punching rates of 8 to
10 holes per second on 1.0mm moves are attainable. By linking
two or more tools rates of up to 1440 holes per minute are
achievable and even higher rates can be reached using "cluster"
tools. Part loading and unloading is made quick and easy by a
work holder frame that accepts preloaded steel frame inserts. Part
change-over time is less than one minute.
The Standard tool
cartridges accept inserts to punch holes from.0018" diameter through
.375" diameter in a wide array of materials - .0010" plastic film,
up to .010" metal sheets, and .040" "green" tape. Square and
irregular shaped holes can be punched and large cavities can be
produced by "nibbling".
Hole to hole positional
accuracy of +/-.0004" is achievable over the entire punching area
(on stabilized material) Hole roundness can be up to .0005"
and diameters to +/-.0001". An optional missing hole detection
system insures that only fully populated parts are
produced.
Carbide tipped punches
and die inserts, all made in-house, minimize tool wear.
Punches are capable of producing over 1,000,000 holes before
replacement and dies may be expected to produce over 2,000,000 holes
before sharpening.
(Dies may be sharpened
twice before being replaced.)
Easy operation, minimal
operational maintenance, reliable performance, high quality results,
and knowledgeable, dependable technical support - all at a
competitive price.
The CNC
micro hole punching machine built on experience and designed for
accuracy, dependability and ease of operation
The fully automated
programmable positioning stage operates in true X-Y coordinates
entered directly from prints or from a DXF file. The
operator-friendly Windows® based program permits easy editing of the
program including a "shrink" or "expand" mode to make adjustments in
either the X or Y axis. The help menu in the program assists
in setting all operating parameters to accommodate a wide range of
materials and thicknesses.
On parts with multiple
arrays, the pattern need only be entered once and a simple offset
feature enables the machine to punch the same pattern at an
unlimited number of locations on the part blank, repeatedly and
accurately. The optional missing hole detection feature checks
for the presence of the last hole punched by each tool
position. If a hole is missing, it stops the cycle and a light
signal alerts the operator of a malfunction, or it continues
punching with a designated back-up
tool.
The machine has a
conveyorized scrap (or part) removal system that can be emptied from
the front of the machine. It also has air flow valves on each
punch cartridge, which permits the adjustments of punch velocity to
accommodate the punching of a wide range of materials and part
thicknesses.
Technical support is always
available and replacement parts, when needed, are available from
stock. All tool inserts - punch dies - are made in-house and
orders can be filled within one week, or in emergency situations,
within 48 hours.
Schneider & Marquard,
Inc. also will design and build customized machines to meet a
customer's special requirements. Many variations of our
standard machine have been built, including a roll-to-roll machine
and machines with up to 12 tool
positions.
