Amada Group

AE-NTFully electric, flexible and compact punching machine

SINGLE AC SERVO-DRIVE TURRET PUNCH PRESSES

AMADA have installed over 30,000 turret punch presses across the world. The AE-NT series builds on our knowledge and experience, combining AMADA's original, highly rigid 'bridge frame' construction, a single AC servo motor punch action, small footprint and large capacity turret. These factors ensure stable, high speed, high quality processing of the most demanding production. Many process integration functions and an environmentally driven design provide a very cost efficient performancACHIEVEMENT OF STABLE, HIGH SPEED PROCESSING

POWER VACUUM SYSTEM

 Stable, high speed processing achieved by reduced slug-pull

The Power Vacuum system creates an area of lower pressure below the small station dies to 'suck' the slug away from the processing area. This also allows for a smaller punch penetration into the die (typically 1mm), resulting in higher speed processing. This function is also provided to the larger stations by the Slug Suction Unit

FINE CONTOURING

Special profiles can now be processed with a high quality finish without the need for special shaped tools Traditionally, it was not possible to use a nibbling pitch smaller than the material thickness. This is now achievable using the Fine Contouring tool. The need for secondary processes is eliminated and process time is dramatically reduced despite the increase in the number of hits

ACHIEVEMENT OF HIGH QUALITY PROCESSING

HIGH SPEED DEBURRING

Time saving, in-cycle operation after the slitting operation, the underside of the work piece is chamfered using a specic die to eliminate time consuming secondary processes and extra handling. Deburring tools can be manufactured to match the width of your slitting tool

SLOTTING

The removal of overlap marks, eliminating any remedial work The slotting tool can produce overlap mark-free edges at any angle when installed in a 2" auto-index station.

HIGH SPEED MARKING

Improve overall production efficiency when secondary operations are required Part names, numbers, bend lines, weld positions and other important information can be quickly marked on the part at 900 hits/min to make any secondary operations more efficient
