The Bend The Combi The Laser The Press The Punch The Shear The System The Software Shear Genius – new generation of integrated punching and shearing technology ®

The vast majority of all fabricated sheet metal components are rectangular, so a highly economical method to produce them is to perform first punching and then shear the components loose in the same automatic process with an integrated right angle shear. Thirty years of experience in right angle sheartechnology combined with proven field performance in nearly 3,000 applications throughout the world has allowed providing Shear Genius® with major benefits. 1+1 2 Punch + Shear = The cost cutting solution Servo-electric Shear Genius® benefits: + Fast setup with up to 384 tools in a turret + 300...

ACCESSIBLE Easy to use and monitor INTELLIGENT RAM More tools in turret and shorter tool change times SCRATCH FREE Vertically moving brushes prevent the scratching of sensitive materials MODULAR TECHNOLOGY Both machine and automation for it are modular to meet customer’s needs The Shear Genius® philosophy The Shear Genius® philosophy is to provide one machine capable of transforming parts to final production stages without the need for secondary operations for costly material handling between loading, punching, shearing, sorting and unloading. Shear Genius® concept saves material, decreases...

Servo-electric high-performance An early and major step towards sustainable fabrication was taken on the introduction of the servo-electric E series turret punch press in 1998. Now Prima Power uses already the third generation of this technology. Performance values are truly impressive: - Hit speed up to 1,000 hpm - Sheet positioning speed up to 150 m/min - Index speed 250 rpm - Max. 300 kN ram force for all functions and tools Multi-Tool® stations The turret can be equipped with Multi-Tool® stations to increase the number of tools. The latest development in Multi-Tool® technology is the...

FastAuto Index A large number of index tools facilitates set-ups and programming, shortens tool change times and increases production speed. Maximum index rotating speed is 250 rpm. The rotation mechanism of the punch and die is mechanically engaged and disengaged vertically. It enables full tonnage and punching speeds to be used in any station, with any tool size. A new option is the Intelligent ram, which shortens tool change time and increases the number of tools in turret and especially that of index tools. Intelligent ram includes a rotating ram head, which enables old Multi-Tool®...

... forming, marking and tapping High upforming An additional forming cylinder is available. It is a servo operated ram installed in the lower machine frame. It lifts the forming die to a programmed position.The cylinder provides 200 kN forming power for speedy making of complicated forms up to 16 mm (0.63") in height (incl. sheet thickness). All forming tools are indexable. Fast component identification There are several solutions for adding information to components to ensure reliable identification with different types of marking tools. Shear Genius can be equipped with a LaserMarker, an...

Easy and versatile tapping Further options include the servo-operated tapping unitTU6,an automatic six head tapping station and tapping monitoring system. Large tooling capacity A totally re-designed turret which can be customized and optimized for any requirement. Simultaneously, a recordbreaking number of 384 tools can be available in the turret; thus unnecessary set-ups can be easily avoided.The maximum number of index tools has also been raised to 128. MultiTool® 6 x A size indexable Drop-in MultiTool® 8 x A size indexable Customer specific layout with 81 tools, of which 25 index tools....

The intelligent right angle shear The Prima Power right angle shear is extremely fast in operation. Programmable blade height and automatic stroke depth adjustment optimize shearing. Blade speed is automatically selected for the maximum speed. Together with automatic shearing modes this optimizes operation speed. The intelligent right angle shear always allows using of the optimum solution for the stroke according to the part size to be made in each case, e.g. - a single stroke for shearing a 1,000 mm x 1,500 mm (39.37" x 59.06") component - fast,multiple strokes in X direction up to...

Intelligent part sorting Long blade life time, engineer-friendly setup New shear has a unique system to sort parts and scrap. If there are any trims or leftover on the sheet, it is sorted out through the shear frame and conveyor. Inside the shear, fast inverter driven conveyor system separate scrap and move the parts to sorting or stacking without any delay or waiting time. For scrap part sorting, metallic conveyor belt is now available on standard and also optional lifting conveyor. Improved sorting conveyors having new inverter technology for faster sorting of components. Also, additional...

Accessible Shear Genius is operated with a modern control unit and its touch screen panel. Management of machine set-up and work queues is easy with Tulus® user interface. The NC Express™ programming system and Tulus® work in perfect combination, provide comprehensive reports on machine and production status,and can be linked to the factory ERP system when required. Monitoring of machine operation is facilitated by four optional cameras that send image to the upper display. Special attention has been paid to ergonomics and user friendliness of the control unit. Work orders created by NC...

Further options to add accessibility include applications for handheld equipment. Tulus® e-Kanban, digital ordering process Tulus® e-Kanban, despite its name, is not only replacing the Kanban cards but it also monitors the part ordering processes. Part’s metadata is used to determine the batch size, storage location, where the order is placed etc. No special tools are required: the bar codes can be read with a smartphone or a tablet. The order can go either to ERP or directly toTulus® Power Processing order management. The orders come in digitally, thus human errors are minimized since...
