PUNCHING AND SHEARINGShear Genius cell®
The vast majority of all fabricated sheet metal componentsare rectangular, so a highly economical method to producethem is to perform first punching and then shear the com-ponents loose in the same automatic process with an inte-grated right angle shear. Also, parts with two or threestraight edges are perfect for fabrication with a right angleshear.
Shear Genius® provides more capacity,quality and cost effi-ciency for flexible sheet metal working than any comparable
system.T ty years of experience in right angle shear tech-hirnology combined with proven field performance in nearly3,000 applications throughout the world has allowed pro-viding Shear Genius® with major benefits:
- automated flexible fabrication- no skeletons,less punching scrap – savings in raw material- no nibble marks- higher productivity- low manufacturing costs- fast return on investment
SERVO-ELECTRIC PUNCHING
The inherent benefits of servo-electric technology includeenergy efficiency, versatility and accuracy and low mainte-nance cost.This amounts to superior fabrication capabilitiesand operation economy, i.e. remarkable savings. As thepunching stroke is NC-controlled, in addition to high per-formance punching outstandingly accurate forming capacityis available. High repeatability facilitates forming, roll form-ing, marking etc. and shortens set-up times. Performancevalues of servo-electric punching are truly impressive.

SERVO-ELECTRIC INTELLIGENT
RIGHT ANGLE SHEAR
Automatic clearance setting (ACS) of the intelligent servo-electric right angle makes changing from one material thick-ness to another automatic and fast, saving time and addingproductivity.A wide range of thicknesses can be sheared,upto 5 mm aluminium.
Intelligent part sorting
N a sew shear has unique system to sort part and scrap.If there are any trims or leftover on the sheet, it is sortedout through the shear frame and conveyor.
Outstanding accuracy
As the right angle shear is an integral part of the cell andnot a separate machine, and since the sheet is firmlyheld throughout the fabrication process, high componentaccuracy is achieved.
Support of large work pieces
When shearing large pieces an automatic lifting mechanismintegrated in the conveyor holds the parts for high accuracy.
Programmable sheet holder
The lateral forces caused by the shearing action arecompensated using pneumatic sheet holders for excellentshearing quality and high tolerances. In the right angle shear,sheet holders are programmable, allowing shearing closeto forms.

Shear Brilliance – a new generationof advanced fabrication technology
The new, fully servo-electric Shear Brilliance features lineardrive technology in sheet positioning and raises manufactu-ring speed and productivity up to a new level.With long tra-vel of the coordinate table full working area can be used wit-hout repositioning, accurately and at great speed. Thesheets are pre-positioned during machine operation whichreduces loading time dramatically.
New generation punching technology, very high toolingcapacity, the large common working area for punching andshearing as well as high-speed co-ordinate table move-ments combine to provide truly outstanding productivity.
New generation Servo-electric punching
Up to 35 tons of servo-electric ram force allows very longcontours, using one hit instead of two. As fewer hits areneeded production is faster. Despite the ram force speedhas not been compromised.1,300 hpm is the fastest full for-mat hit rate in the market. This adds again productivity.
Servo-electric Shear Brilliance®
- Max. sheet size of raw material 3,100 mm x 1,565 mm- X-traverse 4,070 mm,Y-traverse 1,640 mm- Common working area 3,100 mm- Loading, punching, forming, tapping, shearing and

New coordinate table with linear drives
A light weight and rigid composite construction allows coor-dinate table length of 4,070 mm length and this, in turn,3,100 mm punching – shearing without repositioning.Thelightness of the coordinate table increases speed.
Fast and extremely accurate positioning with linear drives.Positioning is very fast, which again saves production time.
Fast material loading
With a new type of loading solution, raw material loadingis mainly done in hidden time, therefore material loadingtime from last shearing hit to first punch of new materialis minimal.

Bend press
EBe has two frames: the stationary main frame (1) and theC frame (2).The C-frame mounts within the main frameand supports the upper and lower bending blades.
The upper tool (3) consists of a tool holder bar with toolsegments that can be composed to match the size re-quired by the work piece and to contract for part exit.The tools composition of the upper tool is made at 4 mmsteps.The upper tool holder can allow contraction of toolsegments for disengagement, several spaces between toolsegments and their compaction.
The fixed lower tool (4) holds the work piece in positionduring the bending procedure.It consists of a single elementthat is fitted to base beam.
There are two bending blades, the upper one (5) to makenegative (downward) bends and the lower one (6) to makepositive (upward) bends.
Two operating modes
The Prima Power solution offers a choice of two inter-polation modes of operating blades for optimum surfacequality, also ensured by brush tables. With the “rollingmode” there is no relative friction between blade andmaterial, which saves the material surface from damagesand reduces wear of the blade.With the standard “circu-lar mode”, the contact point remains constant whereasthe contacting point of the blade changes during the bend-ing movement.
Programmable upper tool crowning device
The device is used for correcting the straightness whenthick material is bent or long bends are made.
Work piece centering system
The centering system offers a major advantage as the partis centered accurately in a single operation.
The two positioning pin units support two pins each.Theseare individually controlled by 3 CNC axes for parts witheven asymmetric notches.
Manipulator
During the bending sequence, the manipulator performs allsheet movements by NC control axes once the sheet hasbeen loaded onto the machine table.
Modern software
The latest generation of Prima Power bending software(Tulus® Bend and Master BendCam) includes numerousnew features that facilitate the process from programmingto operation monitoring and has been designed especiallyfor ease of use.

Tulus® Power Processing
Tulus® Power Processing is a Manufacturing ExecutionSystems (MES) which is easy to connect with other infor-mation systems such as ERP. With Power Processingyou can control the whole production process, fromordering, programming and machine loading to all theway to the finished product and reporting.
Tulus® Power Processing makes the production processtransparent and easier to manage.There is always data ofthe production status and in which work stage each com-ponent is.
Tulus e-Kanban digitizes the ordering process®
Tulus e-Kanban can be used for all part ordering processes,not only sheet metal parts.Part's metadata is used to deter-mine where the order is placed,how large is the batch size,storage location,etc.Order can go either to ERP or directlytoTulus® Power Processing order management.Operatorsno longer need to look for paper orders because orders areentered digitally directly to where they are intended.
The Tulus® software family developed by Prima Power isa powerful tool for managing the entire PSBB process. Itconsists of several modules.
Tulus® Cell
Tulus® Cell is a machineuser interface which con-trols machine operation,tools, machining orderand sorting of the fin-ished parts.
Tulus® stacking & sorting management
Tulus® calculates automatically the part positions onthe pallets and in the boxes and the times at which theparts must be removed from the stacking areas manu-ally or, in the storage connection, automatically. Cassettechanges become automatic.
Tulus® Bend
The parts that come to the bending center are managedin Tulus® Bending view. With Tulus® you can controlthe bending of the parts as well as part stacking with robot(and manage stacking area of PSR robot and externalproduction).
There are three different modes for the Bending task list:
- Normal mode: parts are bent according to the se-quence in the task list.
- Search mode: parts are bent according to availability.Parts coming from SGe/SBe are handled first and partsfrom the cassette are bent from topmost stacks.
- Direct mode: parts coming from SGe/SBe are sentdirectly to bending. If there is another work active in thebending cell, it is interrupted until the direct mode parthas been bent.
