The newly developed Bihler bushing machine RM 40B is a high-performance wonder. Where other bushing ma- chines reach their boundaries, it gathers momentum! Four hundred bushes per minute are no problem whatsoever for this machine. Day for day and in excellent quality. Perfectly designed for the manufacture of cylindrical, straight and flanged bushes the compact RM 40B convin- ces not only through its high level of productivity and stan- dardization but also and primarily - through extremely short re-tooling times. The innovative Bihler rapid-change tooling system with hydraulic quick-lock fasteners to be activated via switch makes it possible. On this machine tool changes are child֒s play! And the machine offers other decisive advantages such as extremely low costs of active tool components thanks to customer in-house pro- duction, identical outer geometry of bending punches and cams, and excellent machine stability and availability. In conjunction with the comprehensive Bihler service bundle the RM 40B is an extremely cost-effective investment in the future. Get on the fast track with bush manufacture! >
