Gantry punch machine will develop towards intelligence

In the production process, stamping technology belongs to traditional mechanical processing, which has the advantages of saving materials and energy, high efficiency, low technical requirements for operators, and the ability to produce products that cannot be achieved by mechanical processing through various mold applications. Therefore, its use is becoming increasingly widespread, and the gantry punch industry will develop towards intelligence in the future.

Consulting analysts in the mechanical industry pointed out that there are two basic characteristics of punch machines produced by Chinese punch manufacturers. One is rigidity, which includes longitudinal rigidity - the arch of the slider and workbench, and the elastic elongation of the frame; And the horizontal displacement of the slider under the influence of lateral rigidity - eccentric load; The second is the motion characteristics of the slider, including verticality, parallelism, straightness, etc., which have a significant impact on the accuracy of the product. The accuracy of a product is not only related to the punching machine, but also to materials, molds, lubrication, and other factors, and cannot be solely considered. Gantry punch

From the perspective of the elements of the gantry punch, the accuracy of the thickness direction of the product is related to longitudinal rigidity, while deviation, bending, or parallelism are related to transverse rigidity and motion curve characteristics. So by improving these characteristics, product accuracy can be improved, mold life can be extended, and production stability can also be improved. Mechanical punch machines include the most widely used crankshaft punch machines in stamping processing, the elbow punch machines with the slowest speed near the bottom dead center, and the connecting rod punch machines with high torque capacity, where the slider speed begins to slow down at a high position above the bottom dead center.

The C-shaped punch, originally used as a general-purpose machine, also pursues high precision and functionality, resulting in the development of a full body gantry punch; Linkage punch with AIDA linkage drive mechanism and slow speed near the bottom dead center without affecting SPM.

According to the "2011-2016 Market Analysis and Investment Value Research Report on China's Multi station Automatic Transfer CNC Punch Press" released by Shangpu Consulting, in order to achieve cutting free forming, the functional requirements of gantry punch machines are becoming increasingly high. The development trend of punching machine machinery is towards high-precision, high rigidity, suitable slider motion characteristics, intelligence, multi-directional movement, and even environmental protection.
