Punching machine Hydraulic 502 equipped with gauging system WBL 4/10 Plus and structural gauging bar type LML, 3 metres, ref. no. 524
Applications in steel construction
The WBL-plus stop system (ref. no. 533) is a positioning and measuring system for the repeatable cutting to length and finishing of sections and flat material. It sets the stop dimension for the workpiece, so that recurring dimensions are reliably set without renewed marking out.
Typical applications
- Setting recurring stop dimensions when cutting structural steel to length
- Positioning flat steel and angle steel before punching or cutting
- Series production of identical parts such as straps, gusset plates and section lengths
- Repeatable stopping without repeated marking out and re-measuring
- Supplementing shears, punching machines and punching units with a defined length stop solution
Which businesses use it
Used in steel construction, metalworking, locksmithing and steel trading for dimensionally accurate series and repetitive work on sections and flat material.
Frequently asked questions
What does the WBL-plus stop system do?
It positions sections and flat material repeatably against a defined stop, so that recurring length and machining dimensions are set without having to mark out and measure each workpiece again.
What work is a stop system suitable for in steel construction?
It is suitable wherever identical dimensions recur in series, for example when cutting identical section lengths or punching several parts with the same hole pattern. The stop system ensures that every part is machined in the same position.
Why a defined stop system instead of freehand positioning?
A fixed stop system ensures that every workpiece is in exactly the same contact position and avoids dimensional deviations caused by inaccurate manual placement. This increases dimensional accuracy and speeds up repetitive work.
