Notching center

The notch cutting in the ridges and profile closers can be done in two ways :

• On a special multinotch machine : the notching centre
• With a special mononotch tool on a small pneumatic press (standard) : the notching tool.

Notching centre

It is a hydraulic press (pressure : 180 bars) with 2 cylinders f 80 , Power : 10 tons, stroke : 20 mm.
The working length of the sheet (maxi length 12/10) for each operation is 2100 mm.
Dimensions of the machine : 2600 X 1700 X 1330 mm
Level of work : 900 mm . Weight : 300 Kg
The working cassette has a very high resitance aluminium structure to make easier tool change, in about 3 mn (SMED system).
It comprises punches and dies in hardened 60HRC ground steel. MECAN’OUTIL’s know-how in the field of cutting obtains extremely long time of good working.

The notching tool

This tool is to be assembled on a standard pneumatic press PO 316 (3 tons, 16 mm stroke)
The tool includes 2 cutting stations which can realize two different shapes of ridges or one ridge and a closer, or two closers. Maximum thickness of the sheet is 12/10.

Options for the pneumatic press :

• Base in mechanically welded steel with air lubricating filter and air gun
• Table for the sheet introduction (right or left)
