INTEGRATEDPUNCHING & SHEARING

BY FINN-POWER

Today, right angle shear technology is used

throughout the industrial world in most varied

applications, in independent production cells, or

in central units within automatic material han-

dling systems up to factory-wide FMS level.

Here are some further reasons why:

No cost due to pre-shearing

– a manual work stage eliminated

No micro joints

– a manual work stage eliminated

Just the right edge quality – no deburring

Practically no consumables

Integrated right angle shearing is available

in two complementary models, Shear Genius®,

with traditional sheet positioning, and Shear

Brilliance®, featuring linear drives.

The unique productivity of the integrated punching and shearing concept

derives from several inherent benefits:

Modern punching is a highly versatile technology: practically every componentcan be produced – accurately and fast.

Whenever you have long cuts to make, integrated right angle shearing is thefastest and most cost efficient method. There are very few fabrication tasks thatdo not include such cuts.

No skeletons – major savings in raw material.

Already the basic unit has a high level of automation – a full sized sheet trans-formed into finished, high-quality parts with scrap separated.

Modular extensions – now or later – for additional automation up to FMS level.

ANY PART– ANY BATCH

MORE THAN THESUM OF ITS MODULES

FINN-POWER is designed and built for maximum

accuracy and manufacturing speed, and for opti-

mum productivity.

The frame construction is extremely robust to

meet the requirements of very high axis speeds

and acceleration rates.

Multi-function manufacturing solution

The combination of long working area and the

extremely high positioning speed means that

more functions – punching, forming, tapping, bar

coding, and shearing – can be performed flexibly

as a single, multi-purpose process and in a sin-

gle setup. This means that the range of compo-

nents that can be produced on one and the

same equipment is truly vast.

Loading and squaring

Modern punching and forming

FINN-POWER features fast, electric motor

and inverter driven loading for sheets up to

200 kg (440 lbs). Double sheet checking and

sheet measuring as well as squaring func-

tions are integrated in the gripper mechanism.

Squaring takes place on the machine table

and can be selected on or off depending on

stack quality.

FINN-POWER's design and the new up-and down

clamp movement allow convenient manual load-

ing of even small sheets. Manual unloading also

takes place in the same position at the table

edge.

With new digital control technology, stroke con-

trol is accurate and fast. Punching speed can be

adjust individually both directions e.g. for noise

reduction purposes with no major effect on total

processing time. Programmable stroke length

allows optimization of the punching process and

avoids unnecessary movements. Programmable

lower limit can be used with modern tooling

applications in forming, roll forming, marking and

tapping. An additional forming cylinder expands

capabilities to higher forms, avoiding all prob-

lems with collisions or sheet scratches, when

using high forming tools.

Outstanding, accuracy

FINN-POWER accuracy reaches new levels

through a totally new actuation mechanism for

X and Y movement of the coordinate table. All

machines have to pass the FINN-POWER facto-

ry test before delivery.

Complete range of options

A well-known FINN-POWER strength is

the wide range of optional equipment,

using which the machine can be custom-

ized to meet specific production require-

ments.

Only some of these options have been

described in this publication. FINN-

POWER sales engineers will give you

detailed information on e.g.

- material storages

- loading and unloading table alternatives

- E-stations for cluster tools

- Indexable Multi-Tools®

- integrated inkjet marking

- scrap removal

- cooling solutions for high ambient

temperatures

- CE safety

- Teleservice, etc.

The intelligent right angle shear

FINN-POWER's new right angle shear is extrem-

ely fast in operation.

Programmable blade height and automatic

stroke depth adjustment combine to allow

shearing speed up to 110 m/min (72.16"/s). In

the right angle shear, sheet holders are pro-

grammable, allowing shearing close to forms.

Blade speed is automatically selected for maxi-

mum speed. Together with automatic shearing

modes this optimizes operation speed.

The intelligent right angle shear always allows

using the optimum solution for the stroke

according to the part size to be made in each

case, e.g.

- a single stroke for shearing a

1,000 mm x 1,500 mm (39.37" x 59.06")

- fast, multiple strokes in X direction

up to maximum sheet length

- fast cut mode for shearing

smaller components

Programmable, pneumatic sheet holders keep

the sheet stationary during the shearing pro-

cess. A sheet support mechanism ensures

stability and accuracy when large components

are sheared.

Blade clearance adjustment is automatic. The

right angle shear can be used for 0.5...4 mm

(0.02"...0.157") mild steel (aluminium up to

5 mm / 0.197") . For stainless steel max. thick-

ness is 3 mm (0.12").

Advanced Linear Technology

Finn-Power Shear Brilliance® features linear ser-

vo technology, which makes it possible to

achieve extremely high sheet positioning speed

and acceleration. Sheet metal processing is a

continuous stop and go motion, and high axis

dynamics really boost machine productivity, by

several tens of percents.

Linear servo systems have no mechanical power

transmission system; thus they are reliable with

no wearing parts. Axis positioning is measured

directly from moving table, which eliminates all

clearances and backlashes and raises part accu-

racy to its own class.

With the linear servo axis very long cuts without

limitations to speed or accuracy can be made.

This is fully utilized in Shear Brilliance®, which

always works according to the single clamping

principle. No matter if it is a question of loading,

punching, forming, labelling or shearing, the func-

tion can be always made with the same clamp-

ing. Four programmable sheet clamps ensure

correct positioning and a good grip of the sheet

as well as avoid dead zones.

Unique design allows preloading and positioning

of the sheet while the shear operates on the pre-

vious one. Cycle time is thus considerably short-

ened and high productivity achieved.

Full tonnage and punch speeds can be used in

any station, with any tool size.

Both the turret punch press and the right angle

shear frame have been redesigned for additional

rigidity to accommodate the forces due to in-

creased speed and performance.

A full 300 kN (33 US ton) punching force is

available, with nibbling speed on 1 mm centers

up to 1,100 hits per minute. Digitally servo-con-

trolled ram stroke speed is fully and individually

adjustable in both directions. Other benefits

include the availability of different punching

modes (punch, slow punch, downforming and

marking). For marking, punching speed up to

3,000 hpm can be achieved.

FINN-POWER's digital servo hydraulic punching

system provides the greatest flexibility for all

kinds of punching, forming and special applica-

tions, in one system.

* The reading is of SB. Maximum value with SG is 200 tools / 10 index stations and 80 indexable tools.

Automatic clamp setting and moving

Additional forming cylinder

Tapping

Part removal

FINN-POWER's patented programmable clamp

setting (PCS) is a standard feature. It automati-

cally positions sheet clamps via the NC program.

The possibility of punching or shearing the clamps

is eliminated and clamps are always optimally

placed.

When part programs are changed in an auto-

matic work queue, clamp settings change auto-

matically.

Dead zones can be completely eliminated by

using individual one clamp move while the other

clamps hold the sheet. This allows 100 % utiliza-

tion of the material without compromising accu-

racy. Better support for thin materials can be

achieved with 4th clamp (optional with SG).

The safe and natural solution for sheet metal

forming is from below the sheet. Using a hydrau-

lically actuated die holder and die movement, the

common hazards caused by conventional, high

forming dies – scratching of the sheet, colli-

sions, bending of the components during punch-

ing etc. – are eliminated.

With indexing possibilities the sheet can be uti-

lized more effectively, with reduced tooling cost,

as readily available standard formiong tools can

be used.

With the optional upforming unit, versatile forms

up to 16 mm (0.63") in height (incl. sheet thick-

ness) can be made.

FINN-POWER options can be added to increase

the number of work stages that can be per-

formed, thus eliminating the need for separate

machines and manual work stages.

A six-station servo driven tapping unit (option)

can be installed for extensive threading capaci-

ty. Alternatively, a one-station unit utilizing the

fast index system and accurate ram control is

available.

Component exit up to size 500 mm x 500 mm

(20" x 20") can also be arranged through a large

work chute (option). For example, instead of

destroying large rectangular cut-outs with a

square tool, a much faster solution is to use a

slitting or shearing tool and remove the pieces

through the chute. They can be slid into a small

box or removed with a conveyor to a pallet.

This option is available only for SG.
