Efficiency Demonstration
The Profi Press PPCT-100 is not only powerful but also incredibly efficient. Let’s break down an example scenario to demonstrate its efficiency:
Example Parameters:
- Die Set Height: 350 mm (start position of press cycle set to 350 mm on HMI)
- Material: 3 mm thick stainless steel blanks, with a bounding box of 250 x 85 mm
- Required Stroke: 3.25 mm
- Clearance for Loading/Unloading: 35 mm
- Total Stroke Required: 3.25 mm + 35 mm = 38.25 mm (added to the start position to attain the end position of the stroke)
- Press Speed: 105 mm/sec
- Return Speed: 160 mm/sec
- Loading/Unloading Time: 5 seconds each (total 10 seconds)
- Note: Dwell time at the bottom of the stroke is programmable but not used in this calculation.
All parameters would be entered into a Program, Stored in the Program (Recipe) Storage mode, and recalled into Automatic Mode and run from that mode with auto cycles using the Dual Palm Button Controls.
Cycle Time Calculation:
- Pressing Stroke Time:
- Downward Stroke (38.25 mm): 38.25 mm105 mm/sec≈0.36 sec
- Return Stroke (38.25 mm): 38.25 mm160 mm/sec≈0.24 sec
- Total Stroke Time: 0.36 sec (downward)+0.24 sec (return)=0.60 sec
- Manual Loading/Unloading Time:
- Total Time: 10 seconds
- Total Cycle Time:
- 0.60 sec (pressing stroke)+10 sec (loading/unloading)≈10.60 sec
Hourly Production Rate:
- Cycle Time: 10.60 seconds
- Cycles per Minute: 60 sec10.60 sec≈5.66 cycles
- Pieces per Hour: 5.66 cycles/min×60 min≈340 pieces
Daily Production Rate:
- Production Hours: 7 hours
- Pieces per Day: 340 pieces/hour×7 hours=2380 pieces
This scenario demonstrates manual loading and unloading, but the PPCT-100 can also be integrated with automatic feeders and processing systems to significantly enhance production rates and efficiency.
With the ability to program a pressing working zone, bottom of cycle dwell time, and adjustable pressing tonnage, the PPCT-100 offers flexibility and precision for various applications.
