Transfer Press
Hydraulic Punching, Cutting and Bending Press with Robot Transfer
A hydraulic transfer press that combines punching, cutting and bending stations in one frame and moves the part with a 2-axis linear robot, producing standard and heavy-duty wall bracket top parts and tray hanger profiles in all lengths from 100 to 600 mm with a single die.
Brackets in Many Lengths from a Single Die & Robot Transfer
The transfer press is a fully automatic hydraulic press that combines punching, cutting and bending units in one main frame and moves the part between stations by robot. It is a multi-purpose machine designed for series production of product groups in different lengths.
Products: Bracket Top Parts & Tray Hanger Profile
The machine makes three products: the standard-duty wall bracket top part, the heavy-duty wall bracket top part and the tray hanger profile used in threaded-rod ceiling hanger systems. The base plate shown in grey in the images is not made on the transfer press; only the top part of the bracket is made on the press.
Dies made for each product's own dimensions allow bracket top parts and tray hanger profiles to be produced in different lengths.
All Lengths from 100 to 600 mm with One Coil and One Die
The machine produces wall bracket top parts and hanger profiles in all lengths from 100 mm to 600 mm. All lengths are made from a single coil width and a single die set.
Length changes are made on the screen with a digital recipe; no mechanical or electrical adjustment or die change is needed. This removes the investment in a separate die for each length and the need to stock coils of different widths.
Punching, Cutting, Bending & 2-Axis Robot Transfer
Sheet from the straightener feeder is first punched, then cut to the required length and bent into its final shape. The part is moved automatically between stations by a position-controlled 2-axis linear robot with a rotating head.
The hydraulic unit runs on a 5.5 kW AC motor; the cutting and punching dies are made of 1.2379 Böhler steel at 60 HRC. With additional punching/cutting dies, other sheet parts such as tray connectors can also be produced.
Fully Automatic, Compact Production with a Single Operator
The machine produces 5–6 parts per minute without human intervention and is controlled from a PLC + HMI touch screen; any faults are signalled by warning lights. One supervisor is enough to run it; because it works automatically, the operator can look after other production lines at the same time.
The compact frame of about 2.5 × 1.0 × 1.4 m and 1,800 kg takes up little floor space. The bracket top parts made on the transfer press are joined to the base parts by MIG welding to complete the wall bracket.
Technological Advantages & Innovation
- Standard and heavy-duty wall bracket top parts and tray hanger profiles for threaded-rod ceiling systems, on one machine
- All lengths from 100 to 600 mm from one coil width and one die set
- Length changes via a digital recipe on the screen, with no mechanical or electrical adjustment
- Automatic transfer between stations with a position-controlled 2-axis linear robot with a rotating head
- No need for a separate die set for each length or for coils of different widths in stock
- Additional punching/cutting dies allow other sheet parts such as tray connectors to be produced
- Fully automatic operation: one supervisor is enough, and the operator can look after other lines at the same time
