The ABL-86T is a high speed production machine for punching and shearing angle and flat bar up to 6" x 6" x 5/8". As with all Controlled Automation equipment, the ABL-86T is designed to be rugged, reliable, simple to operate and easy to maintain.
The machine has two 86 ton punch frames, one for each leg of the angle and a few optional features that are not on the smaller ABL-74P. Each punch frame has a single punch standard (Dual-Gag with 2 punches per leg is optional). The punch has extend and retract limit switches to indicate when the punch has extended through the material and when it has fully retracted. The ABL-86T uses continuous material probes so the true material position with respect to the punch is always measured. This achieves greater hole accuracy for both angle and flat bar. Probing is essential on the leading and trailing ends of the material when the material is only clamped on one side of the punch.
- Length Measuring options (Following-Probe, Single-Wheel and Dual-Wheel measuring)
- Dual-Gag option available for 2 hole sizes per leg
- Part Marking that withstands galvanizing and paint available
- Special angle clearance is optional for 7" x 4" angle clearance
- Loading and unloading features available
