Efficiency Demonstration

The Profi Press PPCT-100 is not only powerful but also incredibly efficient. Let’s break down an example scenario to demonstrate its efficiency:

Example Parameters:

• Die Set Height: 350 mm (start position of press cycle set to 350 mm on HMI)
• Material: 3 mm thick stainless steel blanks, with a bounding box of 250 x 85 mm
• Required Stroke: 3.25 mm
• Clearance for Loading/Unloading: 35 mm
• Total Stroke Required: 3.25 mm + 35 mm = 38.25 mm (added to the start position to attain the end position of the stroke)
• Press Speed: 105 mm/sec
• Return Speed: 160 mm/sec
• Loading/Unloading Time: 5 seconds each (total 10 seconds)
• Note: Dwell time at the bottom of the stroke is programmable but not used in this calculation.

All parameters would be entered into a Program, Stored in the Program (Recipe) Storage mode, and recalled into Automatic Mode and run from that mode with auto cycles using the Dual Palm Button Controls.

Cycle Time Calculation:

1. Pressing Stroke Time:
   • Downward Stroke (38.25 mm): 38.25 mm105 mm/sec≈0.36 sec105 mm/sec38.25 mm​≈0.36 sec
   • Return Stroke (38.25 mm): 38.25 mm160 mm/sec≈0.24 sec160 mm/sec38.25 mm​≈0.24 sec
   • Total Stroke Time: $0.36\text{ sec (downward)}+0.24\text{ sec (return)}=0.60\text{ sec}$
2. Manual Loading/Unloading Time:
   • Total Time: 10 seconds
3. Total Cycle Time:
   • $0.60\text{ sec (pressing stroke)}+10\text{ sec (loading/unloading)}\approx 10.60\text{ sec}$

Hourly Production Rate:

• Cycle Time: 10.60 seconds
• Cycles per Minute: 60 sec10.60 sec≈5.66 cycles10.60 sec60 sec​≈5.66 cycles
• Pieces per Hour: $5.66\text{ cycles/min}\times 60\text{ min}\approx 340\text{ pieces}$

Daily Production Rate:

• Production Hours: 7 hours
• Pieces per Day: $340\text{ pieces/hour}\times 7\text{ hours}=2380\text{ pieces}$

This scenario demonstrates manual loading and unloading, but the Profi Press PPCT-100 C-Frame Press can also integrate with automatic feeders and processing systems to significantly enhance production rates and efficiency.

Also, with the ability to program a pressing working zone, bottom-of-cycle dwell time, and adjustable pressing tonnage, the Profi Press PPCT-100 C-Frame Press delivers exceptional flexibility and precision for various applications.
