Welcome to the new Shear Genius benefits. THE COST CUTTING SOLUTION FOR HIGH-QUALITY FABRICATION The vast majority of all fabricated sheet metal shear has two blades mounted at a ØO angle. components are rectangular. Also, parts with One stroke detaches one or several components. two or three straight edges are perfect for fabrication with a right angle shear. Just the right edge quality Today, right angle shear technology is used Micro-jointed or nibbled components often re- throughout the industrial world in most varied quire an additional work stage, such as de- applications, as independent production cells, burring, to improve edge quality. A right angle or as central units within automatic material shear produces sufficiently high edge quality for handling systems up to a factory-wide FMS level. practically every purpose. The component is usu- ally ready for the next work stage as it unloads Here are some of the reasons why: from the machine. For example, there is no oxide layer on the edges to be removed before painting. 1 Avoiding the cost of pre-shearing 3 Practically no consumables Pre-shearing is a waste of time and money. Moreover, it is extremely difficult for a stand As for consumables, FINN-POWER's right angle alone shear to achieve anything like the accuracy shear technology uses only energy and com- of components manufactured by an integrated pressed air.

Compared with traditional methods, an integrated right at a lower cost angle shear can save significant raw material costs. The Shear Genius method makes maximum use of material and eliminates micro-jointed Shear Genius0 parts and further manual operations.

FINN- POWER PUNCHING FEATURES Solid engineering 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. Hydraulics A full 300 kN 33 US ton punching force is avail- able, with nibbling speed on 1 mm centers up to 1,100 hits per minute. Digitallyservocontrolled ram stroke speed is fully and individually adjust- able in both directions. Other benefits include the availability of different punching modes punch, slow punch, downforming, and marking. For mark- ing, 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. Flexible tool holder concept The 20-station turret layout is customer-speci- fic. Various tool holder sizes can be changed or switched from station to station. Any major tooling style can be utilized. Up to 200 tools can be simultaneously available with Multi-Tool technology. Fast auto index system Up to 10 index stations can be installed. The high-speed auto-index system is based on a double AC servo motor; punch and die are mechanically engaged and disengaged using ver- tical movement. The FINN-POWER auto-index sys- tem is built rigidly into the upper and lower frame of the press and engages the auto-index tool holder for automatic tool rotation. Rotation in .001-degree programmable incre- ments enables the machine to rotate beyond 360 degrees, thus allowing the system tool auto- matically select the shortest path to rotate to a programmable angle input into the NC part program with simplicity, speed, and reliability.

6 Automatic clamp setting and moving F1NN-POWER's patented programmable clamp setting PCS is a standard SG feature. It auto- matically positions sheet clamps via the NC program. The possibility of punching or shearing the clamps is eliminated 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% utilization of the material. Better support for thin materials can be achieved with optional 4th clamp. Indexable upforming The safe and natural solution for sheet metal forming is from below the sheet. Using a hydrauli- cally actuated die holder and die movement, the common hazards caused by conventional, high forming dies scratching of the sheet, collisions, bending of the components, etc. are eliminated. With indexing possibilities the sheet can be utilized more effectively, with reduced tooling cost.
