Portability
Bring the machine to the extrusion, rather than moving the extrusion to the machine. This setup allows for greater flexibility in plant design and layout. The unit is highly portable, featuring:
- Forklift-movable with a balanced load and solid, welded 2” square steel tube frame.
- Low center of gravity for stability during movement.
- Lightweight at 1,000 lb, compared to a top-heavy 10,000 lb press brake.
Streamlined Operations
Reduce equipment footprint and increase productivity—this is where the unit excels.
- With the 8-station Air/Oil Gang Buster, finished goods are produced to order, virtually eliminating finished goods inventory and freeing up space for other activities.
- Only raw material inventory needs management, representing a significant reduction.
- The C-frame-based tooling offers a low-cost, flexible solution with readily available parts, enhancing manufacturing flexibility and meeting productivity targets.
Ease of Hookup and Use
- Connects directly to the plant’s shop air system, eliminating the need for hard wiring and an electrician for each move.
- Tethered foot pedal allows the operator flexibility for efficient loading and unloading.
