The EPCP-301 is an integrated production machine designed to cut, punch, and bend conductive bus bars in a single automated workflow. It combines precision cutting, hydraulic/pneumatic punching, and servo-controlled bending to reduce handling, increase throughput, and improve repeatability for electrical distribution component manufacturing.
The machine is typically configured to process common bus bar materials such as copper, tinned copper, aluminum and brass. Material thickness and width ranges depend on tooling and configuration; typical standard capacity covers thin strips up to heavy bars (for example, thicknesses in the approximate range 0.5–20 mm and widths up to ~200 mm). Exact material limits are confirmed at order and can be customized.
Accuracy depends on material, tooling and selected options. Typical positioning and cutting/punching repeatability is within ±0.1–0.3 mm. Bending angle repeatability is typically within ±0.5° to 1°. Higher-precision tolerances are achievable with specialized tooling and calibration.
Standard punching tooling supports common hole diameters (round, slotted and shaped holes) up to about 25 mm in diameter; larger holes or special shapes can be accommodated with custom dies. Punch cycle time depends on material and hole size but is typically in the 1–4 second range per operation. Multiple punch stations or progressive tooling options are available for high-mix production.
The EPCP-301 provides servo- and/or mechanical bending control with angle capability up to 180°. Minimum achievable bending radius depends on material thickness and tooling; for thinner materials tight radii are possible, while thicker bars require larger radii. Tool kits are available for common radii and to meet specific application requirements.
Throughput varies with part complexity and operations required. Simple cut-only pieces can be processed in under a second per piece; combined cut-punch-bend parts typically range from 2–10 seconds per part. Production rates increase with automation options such as automatic feeding, multi-station punching, and optimized program nesting.
The machine uses an industrial PLC controller with a touchscreen HMI for programming and monitoring. CNC-style programming, manual entry and import of part programs are supported. Many units accept common file formats (CSV, DXF or proprietary program files) for profile and hole patterns. Offline programming and nesting software options are available.
Yes. The EPCP-301 supports importing part data for batch production—commonly via CSV or DXF depending on the configuration. Program libraries, presets and parameterized parts allow rapid setup for repeated jobs. Advanced options include barcode/QR scanning for automatic job selection.
Standard tooling includes cutters, punches, dies and bending tools. Quick-change tooling systems are available to minimize downtime. Custom tooling can be supplied for special hole shapes, large holes, stepped bends or complex profiles. Tooling kits are often provided for common bus bar sizes.
Safety features typically include guarded enclosures, physical interlocks, light curtains or safety fencing, emergency stop buttons, and safety-rated PLC I/O. Machines are designed to meet relevant international safety standards (CE marking is commonly available) and can be adapted to local regulatory requirements.
Typical industrial configurations require a three-phase mains supply (commonly 380–415 V AC, 50/60 Hz) and a compressed air source for pneumatic/hydraulic elements. Exact electrical and pneumatic requirements depend on the chosen options and will be specified in the machine datasheet and installation documentation. Custom voltages and frequencies can be supported on request.
Footprint varies by configuration (feeders, stackers and automation add length). A typical base unit may occupy a few square meters; precise dimensions, weight and required clearances are provided in the technical drawings. Installation usually requires level concrete floor mounting, access for power and air, and space for operator access and maintenance.
Routine maintenance includes cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, inspection of tooling for wear, checking hydraulic/pneumatic systems, and verifying electrical connections. Recommended intervals are daily (cleaning and safety checks), weekly (lubrication and visual inspections) and monthly/quarterly (detailed checks, tool regrinds/replacements). A full maintenance manual and recommended parts list are provided with the machine.
Yes. Installation and commissioning services are typically offered by the manufacturer or authorized distributor. On-site or remote operator and maintenance training is available to cover programming, tooling changeover, safety procedures and routine maintenance. Training packages can be tailored to customer needs.
Standard warranties commonly cover 12 months from commissioning for manufacturing defects and key components. Extended warranties and service contracts are usually available. Spare parts kits and consumables (punches, dies, blades, filters, seals) can be supplied, and local distributor networks or direct factory support are available for parts and technical assistance.
