Blanking press for sheet metal or plastics etc. - produces hole patterns and controls number of punches using CPU

摘要

A high performance blanking press is used to provide a facility for punching hole patterns to create character shaper in metal. The press system has a number of punches (13) that can be preset by a feed unit (13). The punches are part of a die set with an upper and lower section. The press is controlled by a unit with a CPU (2) receiving input from an image scanner that allow a required shape to be entered. Other units provide display (4), input (5), cursor control (6) program storage (7) and outputs to the press (10,11). ADVANTAGE - Rapid change in press operating pattern.
