h~~ TUBE PIERCE Mandrel supports may be supplied for certain tubes to prevent distortion. Tool steels may be varied to suit the application. For exam- ple. high speed steel or equivalent may be sup- plied for punching stainless steel or high vol- umes. . Double tube notching tool. one end one operation . .:- ~ MUL TIPUNCH From concept to the completed turnkey system. we can build special Multicyl powered systems to combine our experience in air/oil power and motion control. A variety of sheet metal parts may be produced without tool changes with a MultiPunch system. This con- cept uses the principle of a .programmable pro- gressive die" to synchronise the action of several Multicyl stations. Material may be fed manually or with automated motion control. For notching tubing there are three al- ternative methods depending on production vol- umes. Single notch tool - uses standard vogel or Project Tool hous- ing to complete the notch one end in two operations. first one side then re- volve the tube 180 degrees then second hit. -~-=:t Double notch (see above picture) - a more expensive option as two Multicyls are used. Completes one end of the tube using an internal mandrel powered horizontally first one way then the other in a cycle time of 2/3 seconds. unique Mandrel tool pierces from the inside for burr free bore MULTILoc .. 1\vo double notch tools - uses two dou- - ble notchers one for each end. to complete both ends simultaneously. A secondary end motion is required to allow the tube to clear the tooling before it is fed onto the mandrel. Automation Developments. Prepainted rollformed metal furniture components were assembled with two adjust- able axes; from 12" to 30" in one axis and 12" to 60" in the other. The frame consisted of four pieces of pre-painted 20 gauge steel which had to be clinched with 2 joints per corner. Important were ergonomics. fast cycle time and quick set ups. The rear axis which contained two Multi Loc diesets. advanced forward to the load posi- tion. Drop pins assured fast. accurate. pre-engi- neered locations for the variations in standard part sizes. Many profiles of notches. slots and holes can be punched into tubes. Various ma- " terials may include steel. aluminum. plactics. etc. Profiles can be round. : 1 square. rectangular. etc. More recent de- , velopments include the notching of non- ! symetrical parts as shown in the above drawing. Multipunch - 100 tons of programmable punching power Proximity sensors in the dies detected the piecepart and signalled for the machine to cycle. Dies were spring returned with a built-in depth stop to protect tooling and assure consistant piece part quality. After the four cor- ners were clinched two conveyers were used to liftthe part out of dies and transfer it downstream to the next workstation. POWERPUNCH Slots for road signs punched in continu- ous lengths. A typical custom built unit used 6 separate tool stations. with up to 45 tons of force available to punch around holes into extruded aluminum up to 12" wide. used for overhead signs. made in unlimited lengths. The opposing cages were made with a spring mechanism to compensate for the extrusion width which was not always consistant. A series of rollers were used to guide the extrusion through the punch stations. Note: For horizontal operation of a Multicyl(r)simply ensure that the filler hole is up- right to ensure the transfer of oil from the reser- voir to the high pressure chamber. Upside down operation may be performed on certain Multicyl models. This is done by adding an internal res- ervoir and modifying certain components upon assembly in our shop.
