Products: Punching: 212RH

The OMATIC 212RH is HACO 's CNC punch press. The hydraulic driven punch head punches and nibbles at very high speeds of up to 1000 hits/min. Choose between a 12 or 20 station ALL-INDEXABLE TOOL TURRET and minimize your tooling inventory and tool change time!

212RH: Loading & Unloading Systems

		Ask about our automatic and semi-automatic sheet loading and unloading systems. These PLC controlled systems, designed by HACO are very heavy duty and rated to handle sheets up to 3/16".

212RH: Toolchanger vs Conventional turret machines

The turret of the 212RH only acts as a toolchanger to store the tools. Most of our competitors have the tools sitting in a bore in the turret and a hammer hits the top of the tool, which then punches through the metal. A spring pushes the tool back up. On the 212RH, we take the tool out of the turret like a milling machine would take a tool from a tool changer system. We then clamp the top and bottom tool in a hydraulic clamp system which is 360 degrees indexable. This gives us 3 major advantages over our competitors: 212RH: Major advantages of a Tool Changer Type Machine Eliminate the turret wear caused by the tools moving in the bore of the turret. This turret wear can have a huge effect on precision but will also increase your service costs Because of the elimination of this turret wear, we can use smaller die clearances to punch thinner materials. All tools in the turret are 360 degrees indexable which will decrease your tool inventory and cost by approximately 30%, but will also increase your flexibility in making nestings.

Punch, nibble or form with the adjustable stroke on this unique machine. The fully programmable Z-axes or punch stroke has excellent forming capabillities. We can keep the tool close to the sheet for nibbling thin sheet or use higher strokes on thicker material. We can also compensate the tool height after grinding the tool by just changing the tool height in the tooling library. The Z-axis will automatically compensate for this.

212RH: Slug Vacuum System

A vacuum system built into the machine sucks the slugs into the bottom die where they are collected in a slug shaft. During a tool change or programmed amount of hits, the slug door opens and all slugs are blown into a movable container. This sytem almost eliminates the need for slug huggers built into the die.

212RH: Sheet Repositioning

Sometimes there is a need to punch sheets bigger than the physical X dimension of your machine. This machine comes standard with 2 sheet repositioning cylinders. These pneumatic cylinders clamp the sheet next to the die area. Once clamped, the sheet clamps which move the sheet, open, and reposition to another area where they will clamp the sheet again. Once the sheet reposition clinders go up again, the punching action is continued. We do recommend to order extra tables to prevent the larger sheets from hanging after repositioning.

212RH: Control & Software

The optional RADAN software is one of the best CAD/CAM systems on the market today. They offer full CAD drawing both in 2D & 3D, 3D part unfolding, automatic tooling, square nesting and true shape nesting. The postprocessor for the 212RH will export the G-codes which can be sent to the 212RH by cable or by diskette.

Available for the OMATIC 212RH is the TPC 69 Graphics Control, This user-friendly Graphics Control offers the possibility of graphical programming and nesting of the workpiece on a sheet.  The CNC-Program is automatically generated.  It is also possible to use an external programming software. Main characteristics of the Windows TPC 69 Graphics CNC Control : The CNC control is based on an Intel microprocessor with a large flash disc to store all programs. A 3.5” floppy disk drive is standard. With the standard network card (network cable not included), the CNC can be connected to an external PC for programme loading from CAD/CAM softwares. The movable control panel consists of an oil- and dust-free cover and a 15” graphic LCD colour screen. The main characteristics of the Windows based CNC system software are : * Direct ISO-programming * Graphical simulation of programs * Importer of CNC files from external CAD/CAM software * Editing the CNC-program gives detailed explanation of the ISO-code. * Diagnostic- functions * Networking
