Hydraulic 10 Station Gang Buster 2

Gang punches designed for common processes boost throughput and efficiency. Batch processing can lead to low productivity in different departments. Instead, a high-productivity machine, like the ten-station Hydraulic Gang Buster, offers portability, easy setup, and high efficiency.

Portability

Take the machine to the extrusion rather than moving extrusion to the machine. This approach enhances flexibility in plant design and layout. The unit is highly portable and includes the following features:

• Forklift-moveable with a balanced load and a solid welded 2” square steel tube frame.
• Low center of gravity for stability during movement.
• Lightweight at 1,000 lbs, compared to a 10,000 lb press brake, making it less top-heavy.

The ten-station Hydraulic Gang Buster can be relocated quickly across the plant, allowing for immediate use in different departments. This boosts machine utilization and eliminates bottlenecks.

Ease of Hookup and Use

• A 240-volt connection plug for easy hookup to cable drops around the plant, eliminating the need for hard wiring and a qualified electrician for each move.
• A large slug tray that retains slugs for easy cleanup, preventing slipping hazards and keeping the factory floor clean.
• A tethered foot pedal that allows the operator to efficiently position themselves for loading and unloading.

Streamline Operations

Reduce equipment on the floor and boost productivity with this unit.

The previous system used makeshift holes and varied drilling and punching techniques, leading to complex, time-consuming setups and random lengths requiring precise math.

The Hydraulic Gang Buster simplifies setup with visual alignment for the entire length in one press cycle. Each punch head features a ball valve for customizable punching speeds. The pitch centers are easily adjustable on the mounting table, and the back fence setting can be quickly modified. Button dies and punch bodies fit inside the extrusion legs, enhancing manufacturing flexibility and meeting productivity goals.

Machine Specifications

• 240/480-volt hydraulic power pack (other voltages available to order).
• Foot print 144”L x 24”W x 32”H to table top/working height (approximately 48” overall).
• 10 variable pitch stations at 7 tons each.
• Flex-hose hydraulic connections.
• Punches and dies — off-the-shelf common components.
• Production rate — punch cycle time of 5 seconds.
