The Revolution comes standard with 3 punch stations within its rotating single press assembly. This allows for the production of parts that include up to three hole shapes or sizes, without the need to manually change tooling. Powered by an extraordinary 130 metric ton (144 inch ton) punch press, materials up to 25 mm (1") thick are processed with ease. When tool change is required, the machine's unique rotating press will return to an easy to access vertical "home" position.

The unique rotation of the punch press is driven by two hydraulic cylinders for unmatched efficiency. The rotation of the press allows for stamping on BOTH legs of angle and when changing tooling the rotating cylinder can come to a vertical position for simple access to tooling.

Single or Double Cut Shear tooling is available on the Revolution to suit your individual operating requirements. Applying 153 metric tons / 169 inch tons of force, each set of shear tooling provides benefits that prove to be critical to quality, and cost cutting concerns.

If superior cut quality, or heavier component production is required the double cut shear is the ideal option for your application.

If many shorter, or smaller parts are processed, the single cut shear ensures that no unnecessary scrap material is created, and eliminates the need to create a "slug" per each shear cycle.

Peddimat software has long been a benchmark within the structural steel, and metal fabrication communities. With absolutely no maintenance contracts, minimum operating requirements, and an unlimited amount of licenses per installation this software is as versatile as it is affordable.

Ease of use is only further noticed in facilities with multiple Peddinghaus machines as a common user interface is applied for Coping machines, Drill Lines, Angle Lines, Band Saws, CNC Marking Systems, and more.

Basic Features:

• User friendly graphical type input
• Customer programmable plus standard AISC and European shape libraries are provided to determine non-programmable zones
• Automatic flange layout of the mid-length locations
• Duplication of flange hole patterns top flange to bottom flange, end to end, or opposite hand
• Matrix development of symmetrical hole patterns and the ability to recall stored matrix hole pattern
• DSTV import is a standard feature; DXF conversion is optional. These provide compatibility with all major CAD systems eliminating manual entry
• Simultaneous viewing of data input and graphics screen for program checking and verification
• Total optimization of the work cycle regardless of the input sequence of the hole locations
• Ability to combine different programs of various quantities into one stock length (nesting)
• Program edit capabilities
• Dimensional input in feet/inch/fraction, inch/decimal or metric
• Full integration with modern BIM software

The parts tracking utility is a program created for monitoring production of material on Peddinghaus machines using Siemens controls. This program is not immediately visible to the machine operator and works in the background of the CNC control.

This program creates an output file at a desired location that displays vital information about part production. By monitoring specific internal machine communications, the program will document the use of your machine. This can include an array of items, ranging from the number of holes punched or drilled to the amount of time the operator paused the machine.

Benefits of the PTU

• Automatic documentation of production
• Ability to view progress remotely
• Ability to monitor employee productivity
• Elimination of human error in the production monitoring process

Program Requirements

Peddimat version 1.09.07 must be installed on the machine, for the production control to work. This is because the header of the part file that is run on Peddimat version 1.09.07 has to be in a specific order. The machine must have a Siemens 840 Di or newer control.

Complete with appropriate material storage stands, each 3.6 Meters (12') stand is equipped with a motorized roller chain assembly for automatic advancement of material. A pneumatic indexing assembly is mounted on the AFCPS, and is designed to gradually lower the next stock length into the infeed conveyor system.

The Powered Material Advance (PMA) device moves material forward that is placed within the clamp. After the material stock is loaded onto the infeed, the PMA is capable of moving the material in both directions, as well as “jogged” into position.

The combination exit conveyor and unloading system are designed for 6 Meter (20') material, however, both can be expanded to accommodate any length of part. The conveyor system offers two separate unloader locations, designed to transport sheared angles at speeds up to 61 meter per minute (200 FPM). The Peddimat software system synchronizes and controls the exit conveyor and unloading system. Total operation of the exit conveyor and unloading system is synchronized and controlled by the Peddimat software programming system.
