Automated Punching MachineAmiko Control developed for its client a custom designed Automated Punching Machine. This machine was developed in order to affix an aluminum top sheet to lower plywood pieces.
The plywood and aluminum sheet are positioned on the clamping table by the operator. Once the pieces are clamped in position, the operator can start the punching cycle from the main operator panel. The punch head will then move across the clamping table while punching down through the aluminum sheet, into the plywood pieces below. The punch head’s cutting knives crimp the aluminum sheet onto the plywood pieces, holding it in place.
The Punching Machine is divided into two sections called Table A and Table B. Table A can be loaded with material and clamped in position while Table B is performing a punch cycle. When Table B has finished punching, the punch head assembly will proceed to Table A and begin a punch cycle on Table A. While Table A is performing its punch cycle the operator can unload the finished part from Table B, then reload and re-clamp Table B for the next cycle.
