MOTORUM-2044EZ Servo Motor Driven Punch Press

Muratec's MOTORUM-2044EZ Servo Motor Driven Punch Press incorporates new oil-less design concepts to provide considerable production improvements, while reducing both cost of operations and environmental impact.

"Users report 30 percent less power consumption than hydraulically controlled turret punches. The Motorum's electric punch drive provides all the advantages of hydraulics" without the mess". said Lloyd Keller, General Manager with Muratec.

Design innovations include the industry's first advanced servo motor controlled ram drive, the elimination of hydraulic fluid-driven parts, a low-energy LCD control screen, quick start capabilities that require no warm up period, and other, customer-focused features.

Muratec is a pioneer in the sheet metal fabrication industry, with innovations dating back to the first turret punch press in 1932. Today, the company's forming division produces and markets a wide range of machines, with punching capacities ranging from 22 to 50 U.S. tons. For decades, manufacturers have turned to Muratec to help increase parts production and improve their production methodologies.

Muratec has again introduced the precision fabrication industry a revolutionary new design.

Murata Machinery USA, Inc. introduces the NPS-01 the world's first turret changer. The NPS-01 is a 22 ton turret press that uses eight smaller removable turrets in the large turret mounted in the press frame. Tools are changed in the smaller turrets at the rear of the machine where another larger turret is located called a presetter. These smaller turrets are available at any time as replacements to the large working turret in the press. The tool changer has two slots; an empty slot that picks a turret out of the press and a slot that has the new turret that is installed. Machine green light operation is un-interrupted by time consuming tool changes.

Also available on the machine is the ability to control bending operations up and down by use of wipe action tooling. This wiping action is used in press brakes for L, C and Z bending. Maximum height of bends can now reach .75" at any angle and a length of 7.0" is possible. The tapping feature covers M3 to M8 treads using roll forming. The seven inch blade tool acts like a shear at any angle dropping parts down the 20" by 20" parts chute. Nine different small turrets are now available with development of special turrets and tooling addressing the requirements of today's fabricator.

The NPS-01 addresses the secondary operations in a single pass saving time, manpower, energy and materials, all issues in today's precision fabricators demanding world.
