plastic punching & de-gating machines

rear spoiler de-gating machine

This machine (right) accurately removes the fan gate from a large body moulding.  Since the cut line is visible on this external body part, we remove the fan gate, leaving an excellent surface finish, without marking the 'A' surface.   Although supplied for hand loading, the machine was designed to be upgraded to interface with a press robot.  The machine uses a hydro-pneumatic 3-part punch system and is suitable for use by an unskilled operator.

engine cover variant punch unit

A machine has been designed to remove a portion of an engine cover, to allow for build variation.  A large and complex cut path is accommodated.  An excellent finish to the cut and to the 'A' face is achieved to reach the standards required for this top quality vehicle.  This machine has been designed generically to adapt to the requirements of a new part design.

bumper punching machine

The picture below shows a machine to accurately punch shaped holes into painted and unpainted moulded plastic bumpers, allowing the use of the same bumper on different models of vehicle.  Bumpers are manually loaded and unloaded, through a light guard.  The entire automatic cycle is complete with 15 seconds leaving a perfect finish on all bumpers.  Waste material is collected via chutes, which feed into bins outside the guarded areas.  The punches are actuated hydraulically with independent adjustable punching loads and speeds.
