Electronic bender and piercer, essential tool for anyone who has to wire-up electrical boards in which it is necessary to bend and pierce rigid or flexible copper and aluminium bars. This bender and piercer is constructed of a monobloc in special steel. It is completely open to permit the bars to be inserted easily from above. Its sturdily-built structure will guarantee precision work, even after years of operation. The bar bender/piercer (BBP) fits into a work bench with a steel surface and can move vertically thanks to a hydraulic device controlled by a wheel at the front of the work bench. A gauge running along the front of the BBP and a workpiece stop with an adjustable gauge make it possible to precisely centre the bar every time. An encoder-controlled bend programmer enables high precision correction of the workpiece being bent. A selector selects bending or piercing control and ensures that the unit stops automatically and the tool returns to the home position when the task is completed. Bending capacity: froma thickness of 5 mm to 12 mm with a max. height of 120 mm. Punching capacity: up to 10 mm of thickness. Holes can be made in material up to 12mm, but this causes premature wear and tear on the extraction spring. For correct use, do not punch material thicker than the punch bit itself. The piercing punches should be requested separately. MAX working pressure: 53MPa (530 bar) MAX generated power: 175 kN Oil flow: 0,82 l/min Power supply: 220 V - 50 Hz Voltage: 24 V Absorption: 0,37 kW Total weight: 90 kg Includes: • built-in electro-hydraulic power pack • encoder-controlled bending • programmer for setting bend angle
