SLIDE UNITS (RM 40K/KS/P) To achieve faster tool-exchange all normal slide units and all narrow slide units are equipped with an innovative rapid tool-clamping system. The punch-holder interlock is quickly and easily released by a pin. After the new tool is inserted it must only be fixed using the clamping pin. The old tool mounting-system is also retained, allowing the RM 35, RM 40 and RM 40E tools to be fitted to the new machine’s slides. In addition, the innovative cam system consisting of a cam carrier and driving disk ensure that the cams are rapidly exchanged.

NEW DESIGN (RM 40KS/P) The RM 40P impresses, like the RM 40KS, in its new design. All the electric, pneumatic, hydraulic and lubrication pipes are laid behind the machine paneling. The machines appear extremely “tidy” and make the operator’s work safer. The danger of buckling or severing of cables or hoses and/or the associated plug connectors is effectively prevented. Rapid access to the pipes is made by simply opening the panels. All cables can be easily run through the cable channel openings.
